Bought a used bare steel one in 2026 to replace my rogue Ohio deadlift bar. Low score on value because they’re generally super expensive on the second hand market now. Very fun bar to use, and great whip. I want any special bars I have to make me excited to use them, and this one definitely does that.

Perfect for training Dinnies, or max pain tolerance in your thumbs. Mine were coated in oil when I got them which was weird. But it washed off fine. A bit annoying to take the rings off to load the weight, but that’s what you have to deal with to train the the best way possible! Low score for value because they’re only good for one thing. But that being said nothing else could do why they do. Definitely a special piece of equipment and happy I own it.

It’s 27mm, and it’s a deadlift bar. But boy is this my least favorite deadlift bar ever. I feel like the whole point of a deadlift bar is to have some good bend/whip to it, and this just doesn’t have that. You gotta load it up to like 585 pounds to get it to bend in a meaningful way. Almost feels like a stiff bar below that weight to be honest. If it’s the only option I’ve got, I’d take it. But I think you’d be better off buying most any other deadlift bar on the market.

Doesn’t get any better than this! Plus it comes in OD green so you feel all cool and tactical, if that’s something your in to. A necessity if you have bare steel bars in your gym.

I have two pairs of these. One in black and one in orange. I love the magnet feature on them. Makes storage nice. They do tend to drag small plates along the bar when you take them off so be aware. Marking a 3 for build quality because the orange pair I have is almost impossible to close on any bar I have. I feel like I am both going to break the latch on them and smash my hands into the plates when I close them.

I have a couple of these sandbags. Not my favorite but they get the job done! The closure system is not nearly as robust as the Cerberus dual ply bags, but the price point on these are much nicer. I also feel like the canvas material on these bags is a bit less grippy than the Cerberus or Rogue dual ply bags.

Kind of a one dimensional piece of equipment, but it gets the job done well. If you’re looking for a sturdy flat bench at a reasonable price this is a great pick!

The first item I ever purchased from Massenomics! You can never take drink safety too seriously! The magnet is strong! I also use it to hold my 2 gallon Home Depot chalk bucket at the same time as my drink or ammonia. A real handy unit!
