The 3 Most UNDERRATED Specialty Bars

If your home gym is starting to feel a little stale, Coop has a solution that’ll help you expand your exercise repertoire and unleash a new level of gains. In his latest video on the official GGR YouTube channel, our founder dives into three of the most underrated specialty bars you should seriously consider adding to your setup.

From the rackable curl bar (no more awkward loading on the floor) to the open trap bar (ideal for deadlifts, lunges, and weighted carries) and the seal row bar (aka the cambered bench bar), you’ll discover three tools that can add massive variety, protect your joints, and breathe new life into your training routine.

Don’t let your home gym gains plateau — check out the full video and start adding serious firepower to your lifts today.

Drop Set Workout

If you’re looking for a way to squeeze more gains out of every minute in the gym, drop sets might just be your new best friend. This high-intensity lifting technique lets you push past failure, crank up the burn, and build muscle — all without adding extra time to your workout. Instead of resting between sets, you simply drop the weight (or tweak the movement) and keep going until your body is begging for mercy.

“Drop sets are ideal for muscle-building because of the increased metabolic stress they put on that muscle,” says GGR senior director of content and certified personal trainer Kate Meier.

To help you learn how to implement this simple but effective technique, fellow CPT Ravi Davda put together this complete drop set workout guide. Use the sample routines as inspiration for your next wave of muscle growth—one drop set at a time.

Modtub 2.0 Cold Plunge Review

The best cold plunge tubs offer a comfortable, spacious place for you to relax and enjoy the benefits of hydrotherapy. As a certified personal trainer, former rugby player, and longtime lifter, I’ve utilized this chilly recovery method to bounce back after grueling matches and intense workouts and fully stand behind cold plunging as a worthwhile wellness intervention.

If you’re an active individual looking for that extra recovery boost, investing in your own cold plunge tub is a wise decision that can pay big dividends. In this Modtub 2.0 Cold Plunge review, I’ll dive into a well-built, well-priced tub that’s a sizable step up from the first iteration.

With some help from GGR Everything lead reviewer Lindsay Scheele (go check out the official YouTube channel for her video review), I’ll give you a complete breakdown of this cold tub’s performance so you can decide if it’s the right fit for you.
