Hate this bar with a passion. After many clients having issues with this bar I finally figured out the ring they use is narrower than a power ring. So when you use it as reference benching you end up with a more narrow grip. The bar itself is short and makes walkouts horrible and if that wasn't enough it starts to get some serious whip on squats with only 405

Iron grip stuff is unmistakable, even their bars, since they use the same design on the collars that they use on the plates and dumbbells. Overall it's a nice bar but gets a little whippy under heavy load.

Not a great bar, good for general purpose gym lifting as that whatโs its sold as but very passive knurling.

I've used this barbell at the local YMCA for about a year before building out my home gym. There wasn't much competition, but this was my favorite by far.
I have no idea what these things cost but they are high quality, with medium knurling, and take chalk really well for a secure grip.
It's whippier than a power bar, and at least on the one I was using, the rings are in a nonstandard location (narrower than PL rings).
