This is a solid bar that has definitely improved from the first version. The padding is thick and pretty comfortable on the neck/shoulders and seems to center well. The build quality is quite good but could be a touch better in the way the handles attach, but it is just as good as the more expensive bars. The value is great when it is on sale but the regular price is still an investment.

This is a good option for a non adjustable kettlebell, the look is a nice matte black finish and is sized well so as not to be awkward during movements. It is cast iron so the build and performance are great. The only minor drawback is it is a little pricey.

This is a decent accessory to help with front squats, the downside is it is a little uncomfortable on the shoulders and is not adjustable for shoulder/chest size. The bolt that holds the two parts together does come lose after a bit of use. Overall, a useful piece of equipment with a few small drawbacks.

This bar is a good value compared to others of this strength and is versatile, the knurling provides good grip for deadlifts or bench. The color really pops in the home gym and just looks good whether loaded or in a barbell rack. This bar has lived in a non-climate controlled building and has not rusted or had any weather related issues.
