Hi Jill! The pull-throughs are great aren't they??? I do feel a bit wierd doing them, Tony says "... it looks like you're humping an elephant when you do them, so expect some odd stares...!" Ahhh, yeah. Who cares!
Thanks for checking in.

What's the story behind the GCB? I've seen pictures, but never had the pleasure of using one. It looks like some sort of medieval torture device to me... how is the training effect different than normal box squats with a straight bar?

I've done the barbell reverse lunges too. Those are tough work!
GCB. Good question. According to what Tony has said before is that the cambered bar tends to be much easier on the shoulders and provides a different training stimulus as compared to a regular “straight” bar. The damned thing weighs 65lbs too! So, for newbies or not-so-newbies, it is easier on your shoulders too. For me, it's not my shoulders in question, but most likely my newbie-ness!
I'll ask him again tomorrow for more information.
