Slayer Barbell Assassin

Before the Kabuki Strength Transformer Bar (2017), there was the Slayer Barbell Assassin - it's like your EZ-CURL bar... on STEROIDS!!! But seriously, this unique, well-built, barbell was offered in 2 versions - the original Slayer Barbell and the Slayer Barbell "Assassin." Both models came with rotating sleeves. The Assassin model added the ability to choose from 10 different settings to alter its strength curve - not unlike what Strive/Prime Fitness does with their plate-loaded SmartStrength® machines and what Kabuki later did to the safety squat bar with their Transformer Bar design. After a successful exclusive distribution deal with EliteFTS that began at a trade show, Slayer relocated to Florida. Unfortunately, the company dissolved soon afterwards. Slayer's YT channel "slayerbarbell22" still exists and the "TASOSCHATZ" & "willbrink" YT channels have some Slayer-related videos as well - search YT for "Slayer Bar JM Press" to see Dave Tate of EliteFTS perform a modified JM Press with chains using the original Slayer Barbell. While I have no plans to sell my rare and unique Assassin Barbell, as far as any design improvement suggestions go, it would be cool if the sleeves were a bit longer and for the Slayer Barbell to be "rackable" - ironically, I believe Slayer initially captured the attention of the fitness industry by being the first company to offer a "rackable" trap bar before Sorinex & Rogue. Slayer also created a plate-loaded, lever curl 'dumbbell' product - if you are curious, the Watson B.D. Lever Curl Dumbbells ("original design by Charles Poliquin") look 'eerily similar' to Slayer's dumbbell product. The Watson B.D. Lever Curl Dumbbells are on Gym Radar, but it does not have any reviews yet - perhaps we can get Brian Shaw to submit a review? (search YT for "Brian Shaw’s Secret Bicep Hack" to see a short clip of Brian using his Watson B.D. Lever Curl Dumbbells with 45lb Rogue Deep Dish plates.)
