The Only Bars You'll Ever Need Get the Kinetic Oscillating Advantage! Previous page WHO CREATED BANDBELL? Jim Seitzer ; a national-level bodybuilder and powerlifter, also one of the founding members of Westside Barbell. How did we get our start? As a 35-year veteran of bodybuilding and powerlifting, Jim was no stranger to injury. The idea for the BandBell Barbell came when Jim was working through a shoulder injury. Being the motivated athlete he was, Jim started experimenting with exercises that would allow him to keep training despite the injury. How did Jim get the idea for Kinetic Oscillating bars? He began benching with a 7ft oak broomstick, adding resistance bands and 25-lb kettlebells, hung from either end. This set-up allowed him to perform the bench press without pain. The Evolution of BandBell️: What started out in 2006 as a collaborative effort between Lou and Jim Seitzer has evolved through five prototypes to become the incredibly strong, kinetic-energy dynamo that it is today. This hand-made Bar (The Bamboo Bar), weighing only 6.3 lbs, can routinely handle weights in excess of 200 lbs every day - all day long. Innovative Engineering: These unique bars are scientifically engineered with extremely durable composite resins, which allows the bars to flex when lifting. Each end is topped off with solid ash loading sleeves to give them even more durability. Easy To Load: Easy to load, it’s perfect for single band rehab setups all the way up to complex kinetic variations using multiple bands with kettlebells, weights, chains and with the Rhinoflex variations even Barbell plates!
