Does this bar help improve throwing velocity

Somewhat, but full range of motion exercises with resistance should do much better with that.

Without having recorded my son's throwing velocity before using the Total Bar, I cannot give a definite confirmation. What I can say is that his accuracy has remained constant and he is pain free. I can only assume that after a few months with the Total Bar his velocity has increased by a few miles per hour. I hope this helps.

using a curl bar on a bench press creates less stress on the wrist, especially if u r using a preacher curl bench

A little, yes. To hold onto the bar, you are slightly slumped forward. What I do is place one hand on the wall so that I can stand up straight.

Yes it can be adjusted to throw any way you need it to but with a high arc you need to add more speed.

Yes. Its better for your back. You also can lift more weight with a shrug bar.

Yes, as long as you avoid any twisting motions that might cause the bar to retract, it will support that activity.

I think it would. I would give it a try. This grab bar works really great!!!

I don't think so. I used it with my hands for rehab after a shoulder replacement. I forced it to go around faster than the motor wanted it to and got more resistance out of it. That's not good for the motor but I didn't want to be a passive participant in the "exercise". I ended up buying a cheap non=electrical unit that has a thumb screw on top to increase the resistance. It also allowed me to go backwards. This Motorized cycle goes at a particular speed and you just hold on. It's funny that people comment that they don't get a very good work out with it. They are passive while the cycle moves their feet of hands around.Hope this helps I don't think so. I used it with my hands for rehab after a shoulder replacement.

Hi I don't believe so, the reason, I don't dare let go of the bar and allow any arm motion. The treads are so small and I have large feet, as a result any misstep off the tread and you are at risk. I am going to a simple treadmill with an elevation function. Seemed I accomplished much more with that.

Yes. It "lifts" / pulls strongly, and it has a beater bar. It does a good job.

The bar does come out a fair amount, but there are handles that come out to enable push-ups. These might get in the way depending on what kind of movements you are going to do.

Yes, because you can move them closer together or farther apart. You won't have a ton of space between them though - a longer bar will allow wider grip placements and such.

I'd say yes. You can adjust the strength according to your needs. Certainly worth a try.

The bar by itself is heavy. I have used 110lbs without any issue. The bar is solid and should take more weight. If i was going to perform cheat curls, I prefer a short straight bar. I bought the bar because I've torn my tendons and surgery is the only option. This bar allows me to continue to lift w/o straining my tendons.

The answer really depends on the child using it. We put it so that there was a little bend in the child's arm so he can push off from the ground and swing onto the bar.

Yes. The higher handles are easier to use if you have limited hip flexibility. The lower handles offer a greater range of motion. Great bar!

It would help but I don't think its dense enough for bars. I have a $100 one That is much denser
