This is a fine option for a rackable curl bar. I like the bends much better than the other options I’ve had (BOS and Titan). The knurling could be extended more but it still works fine and I’d say medium knurling. This is not a US made bar but is very much imported and the basic black oxide coating isn’t the best but being in my basement I’m not too bothered by it. This bar is a great price with the Massenomics discount so I have no regrets given price to functionality. It cost around $160 maybe in total soooooo can’t complain. Weighs 32lbs and being 6’ it racks nicely. You can compare it the the Titan version, which has that annoying point right in the middle of the bar vs being flat.

These are nice little grips for various things. Mine stay in the same spot though for pull-ups and I’ve been very happy with them.

Absolutely love the custom touch that Dean brings. There are plenty of font options as well as other custom bits but the basic worked just fine for me. Tape up some metallic paper behind it and voilà… a little extra pop that I can change up anytime I want. I will point out that if you have a 5/8 inch hole rack, you will need to order Darko’s reducer inserts for the best fitment.

It worked as a Covid stop gap trap bar. Small, easy to load, picks up weight plates. If max capacity isn’t a concern and you don’t want the hassle of loading a traditional hex trap bar, this is fine. Not worth over $100.

These are decent dumbbells that were fine when I had them. Only issue I had was the red ink degraded and became tacky. Sold them to replace the mixed incomplete sets that these were part of.

My original Covid bar that came bundled with the plates. Very meh coating that even in a basement gym requires regular maintenance. I actually had 2 at one point and one of the bars had a sleeve that dragged no matter what. These have press in bearings so it isn’t like you can do much to fix spin issues. Sold them both off and definitely recommend better bars. Rogue Boneyard would be better than this bar. The knurling is next to nothing as well.

These were my original Covid gym plates. They came as a package with the bar and they did fine while I had them. I would not pay Dick’s prices now for these as you can get much better plates for cheaper. Second hand market for a killer price… they’ll be fine.

I had this bar for a bit but sold it due to the angles of the bar. The knurling is quite nice as it’s a little more aggressive but the bends I found to be too angled and oddly tight spacing. I think if you have extremely narrow shoulders it might work but for a normal adult the bends are subpar unless you want a really close grip curl. Fit and finish is typical BOS, as in bargain quality but I never had issues with it.
