Transcript

00:00Hey, what's up guys? Jose here at ShreddedDad.com. In today's video, I'm reviewing the Ken Suezies.

00:04These are handles that solve a simple problem. They turn a regular pull-up bar into a neutral

00:10grip pull-up bar. That's it. Now, of course, you can also attach these to a barbell for inverted

00:15rows, bent over rows, and you can even use them on resistance bands for different exercises.

00:20So let me show you what these look like up close. So that's the hook itself. It's a very simple

00:25design. It's just a handle with a hook on top made out of hard plastic. On the inside of the

00:30hook here, you can see that there's a rubber lining there, and that's going to prevent the handles from

00:35sliding to the side whenever you're using them. And then right here, the handle, it's a knurled handle.

00:41It's very passive as far as the knurling goes. And of course, it's not going to feel the same as a

00:45barbell because it's made of plastic. Now, the inside of the handle is hollow, so you can see on

00:50there, but it feels very solid all around. These have a weight capacity of 800 pounds, so you can

00:55throw a lot of weight on the bar or on the pull-up bar, and you're not going to have a problem.

00:59So these are extremely simple to use. You simply toss them on the top of the pull-up bar, and now

01:06you have the option to do your neutral grip pull-ups. Now, you can either leave them on there or take

01:15them off and store them somewhere where you can hang them. But that's all there's to it. These can be

01:20used, like I said earlier, on barbells. You can do inverted rows. You can do bent over rows, or you can

01:25attach different resistance bands to them as well. So now I'm going to show you some exercises

01:29that I've been able to do with these handles.

01:31So now I'm going to talk about the pros and cons of the Swizzies. Number one pro, of course, is the

02:01problem that they solve. They give you the ability to add neutral grip to a regular pull-up bar, to a

02:07barbell, to resistance bands. Like me, for example, my bar doesn't have that option. So now with the

02:13Swizzies, I'm able to add the neutral grip component in a stable manner so that I can generate a lot of

02:19power with my neutral grip pull-ups. Now, another thing I like about them is that you have the option

02:24to move these around from side to side. So I can change the width of the handles versus if I have a

02:30fixed multi-grip pull-up bar. I don't have that option. So this actually lets me choose whatever

02:36feels better for my body. Another pro about this is that they're portable. You can toss them in a

02:41book bag. You can toss them on anything, and it's not going to take up a lot of space, so you can take

02:45them anywhere with you. Another good thing about these is that they're not too expensive. Less than 40

02:51bucks, you can get a pair of these, and I'm also going to leave a coupon code down below that'll save

02:55you an extra 10%. So let's talk about the cons now. Now, number one con with these is that it's very

03:01uncomfortable to do pushing exercises. Now, keep in mind, these weren't made for pushing. These were

03:07made for pulling exercises. So when it comes to the handle itself, you grab it like this, and you have

03:12plenty of space in here in between your fingers and the end of the hook for pulling exercises. But for

03:18pushing exercises, you're going to have to turn the handle in this direction. So now you see

03:22the back of the handle hits the back of my hand, or the bottom of the hook here hits the back of my

03:27hand. So for any pushing exercises with resistance bands, it's a little bit uncomfortable. You can get

03:33through them, but I wish they had that option where this was a little longer, so you have more space for

03:39your hand, the back of your hand, and the bottom of the hook. But again, these were made for pulling,

03:44not for pushing. This is just something I wish they had available. So let me show you what I mean here.

03:49If I hook here, the handle to the resistance band for pulling exercises, I don't have any problems

03:56because there's plenty of space here in between my hand and the bottom of the hook. But now if I

04:01wanted to turn around and do a pushing exercise like this, now you see that the back of the, or the

04:07bottom of the hook is hitting the back of my hand. And that's just the con that I see as maybe

04:13Kansui having more of a, of an option in the future for an, for an upgrade where they can have

04:19more space in between here, and then give you the ability to have a more complete handle where you

04:25can do pushing and pulling exercises without a problem. Common question that I get is what's the

04:29difference between the Swizzies and the Angles 90? Well, there's a lot of differences. Number one,

04:35the Angles 90 has a strap. So this makes it unstable. It gives you instability, but that comes with

04:40some pros as well. This gives you the ability to attach this to just about anything, a barbell,

04:45a pull-up bar. You can attach it to different pieces of equipment in the gym. And it also gives

04:51you the ability to move through a more natural range of motion. If you have shoulder pain, elbow

04:56pain, wrist pain, because you're able to rotate your, your limbs in a more natural range of motion.

05:03So that's a plus for this, but they also have instability. With instability, you're going to be

05:07able to generate less power than with something that's more stable. So think about this. When you

05:13compare gymnastics rings, like the ones I have right here and a pull-up bar, regular pull-up bar,

05:19which one is harder? The gymnastics rings. And because, because it's very unstable. So you're

05:24able to generate less power off the unstable surface versus having stability. Now you're able to generate

05:31more. So for me personally, I use both, but I like these better whenever I'm trying to lift heavier

05:36because I have that stability that's going to let me generate more power. So that's the main

05:41differences between these two. This one, very versatile piece of equipment. This one's more

05:46for just a neutral grip type of thing, but you're able to generate more power with the Swizzies

05:51than you will be with the Angles 90. That's my review on the Ken Swizzies. I think they're a good

05:55addition to the home gym if you lack that neutral grip component. For me personally, I like to do a lot of

06:01neutral grip pull-ups. I like to do them weighted. So this adds more stability to my pull-up so I can

06:06generate more power. If you want to learn more about them, I'll leave a link below this video.
