I just purchased a new American Press Bar for our facility at Ohio University. The American Press Bar is like the typical Swiss Bar, except it has a some additional features for your pressing pleasure, including different width grips set specifically in areas to replicate the various bench grips you may use (particularly when you rotate grips in something like speed bench). I used it for incline bench today and LOVED it. I'm looking forward to using it for floor press, overhead press, regular bench and assistance work variations..
A. Medium Grip lat Pulldown - 5x12
B. Swiss Bar Incline Bench - 3x8 w/ 225lbs
