Pretty basic but good quality monolifts that have been around a long time, and for a good price compared to most. Nothing particularly fancy about them, but readily available.

Really awesome knurling and super long. It was very stiff for being 29mm. Most geared meets back in the day used this bar

Pretty rare these days, and even when Iron Wolfe was around I never saw these bars used much in competition personally. The knurling was amazing but the bar didn't flex a ton. Comparable to an Okie or Ohio deadlift bar in terms of whip

This bar was like a perfect cross between a Rogue Squat bar (the whole bar had knurling) and a Texas monster squat bar (huge and 65lbs). Most of my best squats were on this bar

Used this in a commercial gym recently. Its a much more comfortable way of doing glute bridges versus with a barbell. I was even able to do them single leg and put my other foot underneath the foot plate. The setup feels like of weird, the back pad isn't very big and can feel like you'll slide up it, and the foot plate feels like its up slightly too high where you cant get a full ROM at the top

Great machine. Super comfortable and the pad is wide enough for people with poor flexibility in their shoulders like me, though I still prefer doing 1 arm at a time

Definitely a unique machine. The movement itself is just very sketchy doing a sissy squat while essentially falling straight back. The ability to add a counterbalance of weight definitely is nice but definitely make sure you start with a bunch a weight on it to get a feel first, unlike what I did

A good accurate scale to that I'd rather bring to competitions vs a home scale. The limit is pretty high too so you can weigh your mom
