I train at Remington's Gym in Calgary, Alberta with the Independent Power Lifting Team. We all pay dues and the money goes into buying new training tools like kettlebells, benches and bars. One of the recent club purchases is a seriously heavy duty Football or Swiss Multi Bar. As you can see in the picture on the left, this bar allows you take a different grip than a traditional barbell.

The advantages of using this bar include less stress on the shoulder joints for healthier shoulders, a different stimulus on the muscles for new hypertrophy, and the fun of doing something different.

It is a fun tool to use and will make your lifts much more challenging, so if already have a pretty solid set-up at home or locked up at your gym, I highly recommend picking one of these up.
