175-lb bent press with an old-style globe barbell

Here's a cool video of Anthony DiLuglio doing a bent press with 175 lbs. It's an impressive lift, and I dig the old-style, shot-loaded globe barbells he uses:

Bad ass! You dont see many people doing the bent press these days, many dont even know what it is. Pretty cool in the background, theres a bunch of thick ropes, and a globe dumbbell. I went to artofstrength.com just to see if they sold any shot fill globes barbell, but alas they do not. Id love a black iron version of one of those.

I know. It's one of those lifts that was largely abandoned, though you still have good groups like the United States All-Round Weightlifting Association, who do all the old-school lifts:

The bent press is a really tough lift. I do the vast majority of my kettlebell work (swings, cleans, snatches, military presses, halos, squats, good mornings, Turkish get-ups, etc) with 20 kg (44 lb) and 24 kg (53 lb) bells, but I'm still struggling to perfect the bent press, using a small (16kg/35lb) bell. Mastering the motion of "moving under the weight" is tricky--for me, at least.

I'd love to have a globe barbell and globe dumbells, too. In my research on early strength equipment, I've noticed that globe bells came in two varieties--the shot-loaded type, and a plate-loaded type, where the plates were fitted inside the globe.
