I really enjoy using this bar to get a good stretch on the bench and it feels good on your back and shoulders for squats. Personally, I think the knurling should be a little bit more aggressive.

These scream MERICA even though they were made overseas. My first "wild find" for my vintage weight collection.

York milled plates are sooo good. The best daily drivers you could ask for. Some would even say they are a gateway drug to collecting vintage weights. Get some and find out.

This gets a bit wobbly when you are using it. You have to load the plates evenly on each side or it will stick and not be smooth when doing pulldowns or rows. You can find these older models for around $100 on marketplace.

I'm sure there are better options out there. I acquired this for a steal on marketplace. It was in rough shape but with some tlc it was brought back to life. They do sell weight stack upgrades which is a positive. This gets the job done for accessory work.

Let's just say you get what you pay for. This gets the job done however the build quality is cheap. About a week after owning it, the leg pad had a slight bend in it. I wasn't loading it up with anything over 4 plates at the time either. I wrote to the company asking for a replacement part and they issued me a $40 dollar gift card. ( Not what I wanted but I'll take it) For the price ($300 at the time) I would say it's fair for what you're getting.

Drink safety should always be taken seriously. Not only good for keeping drinks safe it keeps my ammonia out of reach from my kids.
