This type of bar was absolutely necessary following shoulder surgery; I was unable to use a straight bar at all. I have pretty wide shoulders, and it is just at the outer limit of usability. All three of my friends who are a bit narrower than I am have said that it is too wide too be comfortable for them. Perhaps I can make another set of holes that are about 3 inches narrower.
Recommend to use Loctite on the assembly screws, I've had to tighten it up a couple of times.
