I NEED YOUR HELP BRINGING FLYBAR TO LIFE!!!!
Thank you for checking out my GoFundMe campaign for FlyBar!
What exactly is FlyBar?
FlyBar is an innovative new barbell that offers a weightlifting technology unlike anything else you've ever used before! Read more about FlyBar by clicking here, and reading through the official Kickstarter campaign.
The Vision For FlyBar
The entire goal of FlyBar is to make the health and safety of users the foremost priority. Traditional, overhand-grip barbells that you're used to apply tremendous load to the Acromion (AC) Joint, and Rotator Cuff. Some of the most common injuries we hear of among athletes and fitness enthusiasts are a "Torn Rotator Cuff" or "AC Separation." Often times, these injuries can be caused by the very barbells you've been using your entire life.

That looks painful, huh?
Well you are right, and I can tell you from experience that trying to build muscle in your chest with traditional equipment found in every gym is an extremely painful battle between you and the equipment that leads to an unfulfilling plateau, and a lack of determination to get stronger.
FlyBar, To the RESCUE!
FlyBar works with your past or concurrent injures rather than against them. The very nature of the orientation of the grips on FlyBar will help concurrent shoulder injuries, but it also greatly decreases the likelihood of you ever sustaining a debilitating injury in the first place.
Allow me to explain why FlyBar is better.
As stated, traditional barbells use an overhand grip. This orientation doesn't work with the natural anatomy of your shoulders, as it limits your range of motion and applies a lot of torque to the main joints that help with the functionality of the human shoulder.
FlyBar offers a neutral grip (palms facing each other.) This orientation naturally offers the user a mechanical advantage over your exercise by channeling the load directly into the specific muscle groups in your chest and upper body that you are targeting with a bench-press exercise.
All of this can be done with extremely minimal discomfort for individuals with past or persistent shoulder injuries.
Let me get technical for a minute;
FlyBar recruits supporting muscle groups around the AC joint, and shoulder joint capsule that increase stability and strength in your shoulder's range of motion. This contributes to a core stabilization that prevents the attachment points of ligaments and tendons in your shoulder from over-thickening in one plane of motion. This is the phenomena that occurs with extended use of traditional barbells.
In layman's terms, regular barbells suck and you didn't even know it!
Why FlyBar is on GoFundMe;
You may or may not have seen my Kickstarter Campaign for FlyBar over the past thirty days. If so, you know that FlyBar did not meet its funding goal...
While somewhat discouraging, I am not giving up development of FlyBar, and need your help to protect my intellectual property in order to see FlyBar develop into everyone's favorite barbell!
FlyBar is a revolutionary new barbell unlike anything you've used before. It offers a safer, more effective exercise when compared to a traditional barbell, and does so by using some of the coolest technology ever implemented into a barbell.

HERE'S EXACTLY HOW DONATIONS WILL BE USED
Donations towards this gofundme will be put directly toward the acquisition of the full patent which I need in order to secure my intellectual property as my own.
Without this, FlyBar can potentially be stolen and manufactured by someone else, and I may never see any of the benefits or recieve any credit, and that would be terrible.
I have spent a lot of time towards working on developing FlyBar, and it would kill me to lose grasp of it this far into the process.
About Me
I am a 22 year old Mechanical Engineering major from Northeast Pennsylvania with a strong entrepreneurial mindset and a lot of drive to be successful in all aspects of life. I have been working on FlyBar's design for a long time, and recently launched it on Kickstarter in an attempt to garner enough funds to wrap up development and begin the production phase.
I spent a lot of time trying to ensure I put together a good campaign, but was unable to reach enough people in order to meet my funding goal. By donating to this GoFundMe, you support not only my goals, but the development of FlyBar. Once I have acquired my full-patent, I can relaunch Kickstarter at a later date with a reduced goal, and afford myself a much better shot at being able to realize my dreams for FlyBar.
I am determined to see FlyBar's success, but I cannot do it without the help of everyone reading this right now.
I have until early May, and this is my final shot at seeing this through, please donate now to show your support, and help me become one step closer to putting FlyBar into gyms across the country!!
