Fantastic plates Performance: 4 out of 5. Docked 1 point since the plates are smaller than comp plates. So if you're pulling from floor it will be at a slight deficit Value: 5 of out 5. Don't know of any better value in urethane plates. And compared to how much better they are fit and finish to other brands to value is extremely good Build quality: 5 out of 5. They have handles. They are thin. Coating is fantastic. Center hub is polished and looks fantastic. Outer edge has some nice knurl texture that helps add grip and quality feel. Compared to the rep equalizers (my second choice) the fit and finish is VASTLY better. Reps feel clunky in comparison. Rep uses urethane coated iron whereas X Master uses steel and are drastically thinner

It's a budget machine that works. So with that in mind, I think I've rated it accordingly. It was $300 after coupons with shipping. And it does exactly what it's suppose to. I knocked it 1 star for performance because the leg curl could be better. Pros are: extremely cheap, exercises feel good to great, and it's held up for 1.5 years so far. Cons are: thin padding, budget build quality and it's a plate eater. IMO the next step up in quality is the GMWD, but it's 2-3x the cost. So I'm not interested unless this breaks.

Local pickup so fantastic deal. It's a well made, beefy trap bar. Gets the job done. Highlights are the knurling, high and low handle placement, integrated jack and open design. Only negatives are its made from square tubing and the sleeves are LONG, so storage can be problematic. Great bar though.

Picked it up locally so value is off the charts for what you get. Fantastic functional trainer with a very small footprint. Very smooth cables and aluminum pulleys. The included storage is an awesome bonus I wasn't expecting, but it holds all my attachments and keeps everything clutter free. Only downside was the build took a while and the weight stacks only go to 160. But I only use it for isolation work so not an issue. Fantastic and would 100% buy again

Use it weekly. Great bar. Only "negatives" are the lighter weight so that makes gym math off, and the powder coat is slightly chipping. And it's not as well built as the premium bars, but I knew that before hand and it's priced accordingly. Great value. Would 100% buy it again.
