This review will be for one of the earlier models pictured.
I borrowed my coach’s transformer bar for a couple months about 5 years ago to see if it was for me and it 100% was not.
The massive long handles hit in the was at the bottom of the squat regularly. Non of the positions I tried really felt like what they said they were and it couldn’t do SSB very good so it wasn’t good to be a bad I would being in and sell off a couple others. Maybe the layer models were improved but I’m pretty sure they never reduced the length of the handles so I had no interest to try it again.
Stick with a ssb, Duffalo & Marrs bar.

Transformer V4 to the Transformer X. The updated AbMat pad is an outstanding upgrade from a quality and ergonomics standpoint. Overall the X does improve on my complaints with the prior version, but is grossly overpriced and now unavailable.

I'm a little torn on this bar. Have to knock the value down since it costs $800 new. You could make a case for the price/value relationship because of all the variation you can use by manipulating the settings on the bar. I just don't find myself using this too much, and I am someone that uses specialty bars to squat quite a bit. Since i have the EliteFTS SS Yoke and the Marrs Bar, I just prefer to use those for each respective uses those are good for.

I had high hopes for this bar and sold my EliteFTS SSB for it. The appeal of this bar is that it allows you a ton of versatility in the position of the camber and the weights. The downside is that it doesn't do any one thing great. I also found the furthest positions for things like hinge or goblets made the bar super unbalanced. I ended up getting rid of mine b/c I found I used it most for SSB and a fixed bar did the movement a bit better as it didn't have the annoyingly long handles of the Transformer bar.
