WHO CREATED BANDBELL®️ BARBELLS AND WHY? Jim Seitzer; a national-level bodybuilder and powerlifter, also one of the founding members of Westside Barbell. 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. 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. 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, weighing only 6.3 lbs, can routinely handle weights in excess of 200 lbs every day - all day long. This unique bar is scientifically engineered with extremely durable composite resins, which allows the barbell a lot of flex when lifting. Each end is topped off with solid ash loading sleeves to give it a maximum weight capacity of 300-lbs. 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 the new BandBell®️ Anchor Loaders™ and Strap-n-Hooks™. With endless variations to choose from, nervous system accommodation is a thing of the past.
