QCFF ★ Billy Blanks, Jr.

We interview Brad Fuhrhop about his new invention/product...
The Level Bar is a brand new barbell that promotes safety, symmetry, and mind to muscle connection. Our quality and various sized barbells come equipped with a precisely inserted bubble/construction level in the center of the barbell. When performing a barbell exercise the goal is to keep the bubble in the center of the level. This provides INSTANT feedback and shows adequate muscle balance, therefore preventing injury and building muscle.
