24 LEVELS OF DIFFICULTY
EASILY ADJUSTABLE
The spring-pin mechanism allows for 6 positions with 30 degrees of variance between them.
These fixed positions replicate common squat movement patterns including:
-
- Hip Hinge - Ideal for good mornings and teaching hinge patterning
- Back Squat - Low Bar
- Back Squat - High Bar
- SSB - For use like a traditional safety squat bar
- Front Squat - Load counterbalancing similar to a front squat
- Goblet Squat - Similar to a kettlebell goblet squat
The second adjustment mechanism allows for modifying the position of the weight sleeve, or distance between the center of mass of the weight and the bar on the lifters back.
The color-coded label on the weight bracket, allows for easy changes to increase or decrease difficulty in any of the 6 common angle positions.
1. Easiest
2. Easy
3. Hard
4. Hardest
Work with your body, not against it. With the Transformer’s adjustable settings, you can cater to a variety of strength goals with just one bar.

Q: How long are the handles?
A: The handles come out 22 inches from the bar center
Q: I just ordered a transformer bar and what to know the recommend storage method?
A: It can be stored in a rack, or bar holder. Due to the black oxide finish being only mildly corrosion resistant it is recommended to be stored in a climate controlled dry area.

A: They are welded.
Q: What is the distance between the two handles? Any idea when these will be available again. Thanks
A: The distance between the two handles is 12 inches. There is a 1-2 week lead time.
Q: What is the distance collar to collar please?
A: The distance between the inside of each bracket is 51 inches
Q: Can you preorder the bar while the zinc finished bar is under production to ensure receipt?
A: At this time, zinc bars are not available for purchase due to extended delays at all of our zinc plating companies. We apologize for any inconvenience. However, the black powdercoat bars are available on our site.
Q: What is the size of the package / box？
A: 62.5 x 22.5 x 8 inches and 65lb 8 oz.
Q: Good Morning, I saw a black powder coat Transformer bar on IG and love it. Is this option available/ can I pre-order one if it is coming to production in the near future?

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
BAD ASS BAR!!!!
It took awhile to write this review because I wanted to try each setting multiple times and have friends use it also. This bar eliminates knee and shoulder pain. I’ve had 3 shoulder/2 bicep surgeries and a bum knee. Using the Transformer bar it’s given me squats back comfortably and easy. The settings are awesome. It’s deceiving as well because you don’t need a lot of weight and it’s easy to change. I absolutely love my transformer bar and it was worth every penny!
SHOULD BE CALLED MEGATRON BAR
I was a proud owner of the original Transformer Bar , the versatility from changing load across all settings was so handy. I saw great utility having this bar in the studio for all clients. What I really appreciate about this bar was the handles in front for all my clients who lacked the mobility to maintain a BB on their back thus taking a step back from having load placed on top of them from a free weight perspective. I cant wait to upgrade to the new updated version !
PERFECTION IN A BAR
This bar is amazing. Absolutely worth the wait (lucky for new buyers, the wait is much less than it was last year!). It's just a genius invention. I love all of the positions it allows for, and look forward to using it every week. The quality is top notch. Couldn't recommend more.
EXCELLENT BAR
I purchased the blemish version for the transformer bar and couldn't be happier. It's comfortable, versatile, and built with amazing quality. I highly recommend!
AMAZING
Being using an SSB for a while. Decided to purchase Transfomer bar, after seeing great reviews. But didn't expect how absolutely fantastic this bar is when training with it. So pleased I purchase it. I had one inquiry, regarding the bar, and my inquiry was replied to me promply and professionally. Great customer service. Can't speak highly enough about the quality and functionality of this bar. Absolute genius. Again all praise to all at Kabuki strength
