Kabuki Transformer Bar
Widely regarded as one of the most innovative specialty squat bars ever developed, Kabuki Strength’s adjustable Transformer Bar is also now proudly manufactured in Ohio by Rogue Fitness. As we did with the Kadillac Bar, we’ve maintained all the best aspects of the patent-pending Kabuki design and added a few refinements of our own, utilizing the advanced machining and finishing resources at our disposal here in Columbus. This includes an additional detent pin for locking the adjustable sleeve into its bracket, as well as a new Proprietary Matte Black bracket finish + markings for each sleeve and pin position.
The Kabuki Transformer Bar is a unique, adjustable safety squat bar that allows athletes of all skill levels to hone a variety of squat movement patterns with much greater efficiency. The cambered pop-pin mechanism can be set at (6) different fixed positions separated by 30 degrees of variance, replicating each of these common squat movement patterns:

The Kabuki Transformer Bar is a unique, adjustable safety squat bar that allows athletes of all skill levels to hone a variety of squat movement patterns with much greater efficiency. The cambered pop-pin mechanism can be set at (6) different fixed positions separated by 30 degrees of variance, replicating each of these common squat movement patterns:
1. Hip Hinge: Good Mornings and teaching hinge patterning
2. Back Squat: Low Bar
3. Back Squat: High Bar
4. SSB: For using like a traditional Safety Squat Bar
5. Front Squat: Load Counterbalancing similar to a standard front squat
6. Goblet Squat: In style of a kettlebell goblet squatAdjustable Difficulty
In any of those angle positions, the user can additionally adjust the “difficulty” setting of the lift via a second mechanism, which offers (4) different placement options for the weight sleeve (i.e., the distance between the center of mass of the weight and the bar on the lifter’s back).
- Easier: Sleeve at Top of Bracket
- Easy: Sleeve at Second Position from Top
- Hard: Sleeve at Third Position from Top
- Harder: Sleeve at Bottom Position
In total, the Transformer Bar creates 24 different setting combinations, giving large and small gyms alike an extremely versatile tool for changing loading and movement dynamics–whether for a full team of athletes or the evolving regimens of a select few. Once a setting is selected, the bar's longer handles and proprietary bend provide a balanced "center" that allows the lifter to comfortably focus on their form.
Note: The short and standard length handles options are included.
