These are great! And they work on my OG Peppins. Mike from Micro Gainz killed it with the simplistic design and completely removed the pin that so many Reppin owners disliked.

Great bench overall, but the zero gap adjustment mechanism just gets annoying to use. I'd much prefer a small gap and the ease of no adjustments then have to move the seat pad every single time I want to adjust the main bench pad.

Not much to say. It does the job and does it well.

I've used all the best deadlift bars, The American Barbell Il Padrino, the OG Kabuki PR Deadlift bar, The Texas DL bar, the Rogue Ohio DL bar, and this one is by far THE BEST (for the price). When you factor in the price tag of $269 (at the time of this review) and the fact that the Il Padrino is NEVER in stock and $700+, the Kabuki is discontinued and was $700+, I can safely say that this is the best Deadlift bar option on the market right now. In terms of whip and knurling, it feels most similar to the Kabuki. It has noticeably more whip than both the Texas and Rogue options and with a stainless shaft at under $300, I think this bar is a no brainer. If you want American made, go with the Texas. The Rogue is the stiffest of all the deadlift bars I've used. But I genuinely prefer the Loeft over both the Rogue and Texas, regardless of price.

The only thing that would make these better is if they came cut to size to fit in a drink spotter xl… but I found an easy solution for that minor inconvenience.

It’s hard for me to complain since I pick mine up on market place for $50. But had I paid full price, I’d be very disappointed. Both sleeves are significantly bent even though I’ve only ever dropped it on crash pads (and I don’t just throw the log from the overhead position) the “rackable” feature is also questionable since it’s construction makes it fit extremely tight on my Rep PR-5000 with the spotter safeties and the drop in safeties (see picture)

These things are sweet! I used these at Rogue HQ in Columbus and the rubber is super high quality. These make stones fun without destroying your forearms and I’d love to have some in my home gym.

These things are sweet! I used these at Rogue HQ on the replica Dinnie stones and although I cheated and used straps, the rings are as close as most people will ever get to lifting the real Dinnie stones in Scotland.
