Two separate cables become one bar, so you can press, curl and pull down with both stacks pulling together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy add a double swivel bar?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA functional trainer gives you two independent cables, which is the whole point of the machine. For pressing and pulling, though, you want one bar and one load path. The MB100A gives you that without buying a second machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth ends swivel. The bar follows your hands through the rep instead of twisting against them at the top and bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt weighs 3.5 lb. because it is aluminum, not steel. That matters more than it sounds. A heavy bar adds load you did not select on the stack, and it is harder to hold overhead for shoulder presses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does it fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny Body-Solid dual stack functional trainer. Body-Solid lists it for the S2FTX Pro ClubLine Series 2, the GDCC200, the GDCC210 and the PFT100. It clips to the cable ends, so there is nothing to bolt on and no assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat can you do with it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBench, incline and decline press from the low or mid pulley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStanding and seated shoulder press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiceps curls and triceps pressdowns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLat pulldowns from the top pulley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront loaded squats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it steel or aluminum?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAluminum, 1 3\/8 in. diameter, with a rust proof finish.
