I had the luxury of upgrading to this from a standard off the shelf bar after using a proper bar at a local gym. The knurling is impressive, the weight is exactly as it should be, and it requires little maintenance. I have the bare steel and it's worth acknowledging some patina but that's because I am in an unfinished basement. Considering its been nearly 5 years though, it's not as bad as I would expect.

Easily the best plates I have used. They have lasted years, have minimal wear, and make a great clunk when you need them to. I have a pair of the 100s and 45s I picked up at the Arnold

What I specifically like is that it’s exactly what it says it is. I was looking at some car axles and hey, it looks like this. And it also allows regular collars and holds the weight I need

I have the 100lb one. The straps all over it make it harder to use for specific things but it can also add different uses, like rows and swings.

Probably one of the first non-barbell things I got. I love using these, and even started appreciated the bruising on my hands. I recommend a loading pin and the 100lb plates to go with them.

I have a few sand begs but this one is my favourite. I have the 150lb one filled with pea gravel (fight me) and it’s a very fun and different implement. Well built, sealed well, and keeps my back engaged.

Easily my favourite of the drink spotter family. Strong, stationary, and safe. Also holds ammonia, a barbell brush, a phone, and my hopes and dreams

Picture this: you have a home gym. It’s not certified. Are you even getting strong, staying strong, or using your strength?
