Built well as expected from Elite. Personally feel like bands are needed to make it feel best, strength curve on something like this being what it is. Jump in price of the simpler model is more than it should be, but given I can do seal rows, various types of leg curls and leg extensions, it checks the boxes I need.

Great balance, great pad. It’s easier than the old crepinsink (spelling) version, but still has the same tendency to challenge your posture and upper back. Nothing but positives from me on this

Nice adjustable mace. Not much else to say. The “nut” that holds the weight in place can come loose but I’m weak enough that there is enough room on the mace that it hasn’t been an issue.

I’m not a big trap bar guy. Typically I don’t fit in them and I’m not even that huge a dude. Having 28” between handles made me finally use these things. Like that it has the jack ability built in, balance isn’t as good as advertised but not something I notice when lifting. Fat handle is great, skinny handle was too skinny so I swapped it for a mutant metals piece and now it’s great. Believe it or not, I was one of the strength coaches that badgered them into making these with an option for the 28” spacing so that people over 6’ had plenty of room.

Great specialty bench bar. Wish the handles were knurled rather than powder coated.

Great bar from a great company. Always happy with the knurling on these bars. Only complaint would be that the set screws they use stick out past the sleeve, requiring me to grind it down so my bumpers fit. I had to do the same thing at work. Great bars that hold up to a ton of abuse

The elitefts ghr has the best pad angl in my opinion. Many other models are too easy due to the angle of the pad. Also love the big foot plate so you can dig your toes in when coming up.

Simple and effective. Mine is mid 2000’s. Value at the time was 🤌
