The Arch Nemesis Swiss Bar/attachment is essential for lifters with bad shoulders
One of the most versatile specialty barbells you can get, the Arch Nemesis is not only a shoulder saver and a bench builder, but it also doubles as a cable attachment. This welded bar has three different angled grips and a hook on the top for easy attachment onto whatever cable machine you have — or even better — pair it with the Bells of Steel Belt Squat Machine.
IMPORTANT: The sleeves on the Arch Nemesis Swiss Bar are made of steel tubing instead of being regular barbell sleeves. This means that the sleeves are a few millimeters smaller than those on a regular barbell — regular 2” collars will not fit tightly without modifications.

CAGood bar
Works nice and a 1/3 of the Kadillac price. And has the attachment for pull downs. Nice.

It's a great bar to use to mix things up. For the price, would have been nice if it was built a little more solid. And the specific collars for this bar don't fit great either.

CAGreat addition for Bench
Really like this bar! I’ve never had any limitations with shoulder mobility so I over looked Swiss bars but the neutral grip and camber to the arch nemesis is really nice and hits the chest during pressing in a really good way. The different grips all feel comfortable and provide a good range of options to work on different spots of the pressing (or pulling) motion. If I were to point out flaws it would be the size of the collars being 1.9”(smaller than a barbells 2.0”) meaning you need a different set of collars that fits however, this choice of sleeves rather than standard sleeves with bushings or bearings keeps the price down. The coating scratches kind of easy but it doesn’t bother me but it can bother some. I would definitely recommend this bar to anyone looking to increase their bench or add variety to their training
