  • Charles Rigoulot's Unique Globe Barbell

    • Charles Rigoulots Unique Globe BarbellCharles Rigoulot's Unique Globe Barbell

    The great French Weightlifter Charles Rigoulot used to train with a very unusual globe barbell -- at 8 feet, it was much longer than a "normal" barbell (which gave it quite a bit of "whip"), not to mention that he was using shot-loaded equipment long after shot-loaded globes went out of style.

    Given this setup, he was a master of catching the weight "on the bounce" which allowed him to break a number of records -- and I bet that barbell was a heck of a lot of fun to lift with.
