BandBell Earthquake Bar Review: Is The Bamboo Barbell Worth It?

BandBell Earthquake Bar Review: Is The Bamboo Barbell Worth It?

The Bandbell Bamboo Earthquake Baris a specialty barbell designed to work the stabilizers through a term they’ve coined “Oscillating Kinetic Energy,” also known as OKE. Although there is some gimmicky marketing, this is one of the most humbling bars we’ve ever used (specifically on the bench press) and has held up to a lot of use over the 5 years we’ve had it. We do recommend it, albeit after other specialty bars like a trap bar and safety squat bar. Read the full review.

Product Summary

Designed around the principle of Oscillating Kinetic Energy (OKE), BandBell Bars are unique, hand-made 80″ barbells that weigh 6LB. each – yet can handle weights in excess of 300LB. For rehab, prehab, CrossFit, strength building and functional training programs, this is your one-of-a-kind, go-to apparatus.

The Earthquake Bar

As the Bamboo Bar grew in popularity, some lifters began using it more without the Safety-Slots. In fact, what they were calling for was a BandBell Bar that could hold a lot of bands and a lot of weight, all at the same time. Enter the Earthquake Bar!

The Earthquake Bar was specially designed to hold a huge amount of weight and can be setup in a multitude of ways with bands and weights. Instead of safety slots, it has two-inch grooves cut into the wood to channel and grip the bands as the Bar bends radically under super-heavy weight. Use it for squats, bench, deadlifts, etc. This design works perfectly for CrossFit, high-performance & functional athletes, powerlifters, bodybuilders and general workout programs because it has the unique capability of teaching perfect form however it’s used.
