Custom Stainless Larry Scott Bar

JD Gym Equipped’s Old School Tricep Bar (marketed as the Custom Stainless Larry Scott Bar) is a small-batch, made-to-order cambered press-down/curl attachment inspired by Larry Scott’s classic tricep bar. It’s 100% US stainless steel, TIG-welded, and hand knurled — reviewers on two independent YouTube channels and the manufacturer’s own customer reviews consistently single out the knurling quality and the ergonomic “bent pipe” camber angle, which lets lifters press or curl with less wrist/elbow strain than a straight bar. It’s most often used for cable tricep push-downs and, with the optional extra hook, low cable curls. As a boutique fabricator item it’s made to order (7-8 week lead time when in stock) and has sold out at times, so availability and pricing should be confirmed directly with JD Gym Equipped.

What is a Cable Attachment?

What cable attachments are

Cable attachments are the handles and bars that clip to a cable machine, functional trainer, or lat/row station to change the exercise — lat bars, triceps ropes, single-D handles, row/close-grip handles, ankle straps, and more. A small set of them turns one cable stack into dozens of movements.

What to look for

A rotating swivel or ball-bearing joint keeps the cable from twisting and lets the handle track your arm; comfortable, durable grips (knurled metal, rubber, or coated nylon) survive heavy use; and a standard carabiner or snap fits most machines. Match the attachment to the exercises you actually train rather than buying a giant kit you won’t use.

Two independent YouTube reviewers and JD Gym Equipped’s own verified buyers converge on the same verdict: this is a small-batch, boutique-quality cambered tricep/curl bar with standout build quality — hand knurling both reviewers call “phenomenal” and fully stainless, TIG-welded construction. Its weakest dimension is value: one reviewer ranks it #5 of 10 tricep attachments but notes it costs roughly four times a basic flat tricep bar for a similar training effect, and as a made-to-order fabricator item it carries a 7-8 week lead time and has sold out entirely at times. Durability is unproven beyond buyer testimonials, since no independent reviewer has stress-tested it over years of use.
