The Des Attachment / Multi-use Bar

The Des Attachment / Multi-use Bar

The Des is named after one of my old training partners who trained at the gym for a number of years while chasing his 1000Lb squat. He was a guy who did things his way working his way up the weight classes putting in the time every day. He drove well over a hour daily to come to the gym during his 1000lb squat quest after working all day as a diesel mechanic. His training included tons of back work and he would often do exercise that seemed alittle unorthodox at times. After getting his goal in powerlifting, he went on to be a top arm wrestler. We have lots of attachements at the gym, but he was always looking for a unique feel to each movement and often welded up different attachments in his spare time. One of them was a different row attachment that was at just the right angle to nail the lats. The feel was different and flowed effortlessly while not forcing the joints or hands into awkward angles.. This is unusual as a lot of attachments don’t flow. We used it a lot over 10 years and I never really found another like it. I always wanted to make it but not just another row handle. In 2021 when we began to make attachments with 2 ¾” orbs that were not industry standard. It took a couple more years but in 2024, we came up with The Des. With his blessing, here it is for you to enjoy as a great back attachment and training implement.
