I love this bar, that being said, it’s not the best bar for your dollar. Bar feels great both in stiffness and knurling. I found this Eleiko bar to bend easier than I think it should given the cost and legendary status. Bare steel so it’s going to rust, which never bothered me but I understand people might not like that.

Standard spud quality. Only downside on these is the handles would be better if they were knurled steel.

It does exactly what you want it do. Mine is almost 20yrs old and is in great shape.

This is one of my favorite cable attachments. Face pulls, abdominal work, triceps extensions can all be done with this.

Great classic piece of conditioning equipment. Better for shorter high intensity workouts but perfectly usable for longer stuff too. Made to last, replacement pieces can be found online. Biggest downside would be the noise.

Bomb proof, good for a variety of surfaces. Should last forever.

I got 35’s. I like them because they fit nicely on my reverse hyper and squat max. They look cool, and are made well. Coating seems to be holding up well after two or so years. Kinda spendy for weights.

For a set of DBs that go up to 90 that take up so little space, I’m not sure what more can be asked. They seem plenty durable to me, although I do try and limit the drop abuse they take. Not a fan of the rubber handles, and I plan on replacing them with knurled at some point. I got mine on Amazon day a few years back, so great value.
