The Duffalo is well worth the money. These wedges make use of the bar simpler.

Here I am trying to make angled uhmw liners...your solution is much simpler!

I drilled and tapped the backside of my j cup brackets and used an old set of barbell collar bolt and slide bar to lock it in place

That’s a clever fix

Nice! I've just been using two needle nosed vice grips to hold the j-cups at the angle where a bow bar stays upright. It works, but looks totally hack compared to this.

That would work as well. The wedges are easy enough to make. Most Dior wedges are at a 10degree angle so that don’t work as well.

Excellent idea and explanation video!! I was just looking at Ghost Strong at the J-Cups ($340 plus shipping) and the Duffalo Blocks ($125 plus shipping), and this came as a super pleasant surprise. The J-Cups (roller cups) would be a nice upgrade by themselves, but the price is steep, and I know if I bought those I'd have to spring for the blocks, also. I'm just getting back into lifting after an extended layoff due to some health issues, and with 68 year old broken and battered shoulders, I'm sure I'll have to dust off the Duffalo Bar, at least for a while, in order to get positioned correctly without issues. Thanks so much for the time and effort to help others!!

Thank you for watching and for the kind words. Here’s to your recovery. I feel you on the shoulders and additionally feel you at the wallet. There are some 3D printer folks that are printing those duffalo bar blocks for the Titan fitness roller J Cup. I’m currently testing two sets that are absolutely awesome.

@@TheKurtlocker I appreciate that. I'm pretty cheap, but I'm also a sucker for quality, obviously, or I wouldn't have a Duffalo bar. Still, your solution fills the immediate need nicely and saves a TON of money, which is always appreciated. I look forward to your thoughts on the 3D blocks for the Titan rollers. How do you like the Titans, btw?

That depends on the size of the magnet. If I recall these were 1.25” diameter magnets with a 1.5” hole

Hey Big Kurt, Hows the shoulder doing right now? I got a bison bar from titan fitness to help with my shoulder labrum tear. Is it helping you?

The duffalo bar is helping me be able to barbell squat. Before that the only squats I could do were belt or safety squat bar

Quick question if you had to pick between the clear zinc, and the black oxide for the coating on the duffalo bar which would you choose for longevity?

@TheKurtlocker

2 жыл бұрын

Clear zinc. Black oxide is technically not a coating, it is a form of controlled oxidation.

nice

Easy fix for an annoying problem.

Wouldn’t it be easier to insert something such as one of those orange pins in the hole directly below the j-cup that would keep it angled and prevent it from going back to a straight position?

I tested this today and the angle wasn't right causing the dufflo bar to touch the steel off of the UHMW

Great solution. I just tried this. Although my bar tends to slip/potentially almost a flips when I add a 45 lb weight on the empty bar. Do you have that issue as well? And if so or not, any advice for a solution?

@@TheKurtlocker haha it wasn’t meant to sound like that, I was just relaying an idea. Shouldn’t have to do either, it’s a major design fault and the bar should come with some sort of rubber inserts to make it square in a rack. I’m a 500lb squatter, and every time I see the j cups at those angles never fails to make feel I am about to die.

Could just store those directly on the rack somewhere so you know where they are.
