Sad that they are discontinued and no longer used in competition. Like others have mentioned this is definitely the bar you go to for a PR, however there is a learning curve because of the amount of flex you get with it. I also have pulled on both chrome and cerakoted versions and I swear the cerakoted ones do not flex as much. I just picked this one up off of marketplace thankfully

I've also had this for a long time now. The blue version is more practical for a raw bencher as its the more appropriate amount of carryover. Im usually good for an additional 40lbs out of this

Always love using these in gyms. Not practical price wise for a home gym but I will consider ordering some very heavy individual pairs around 150+lbs one day for things like rows or bench

Love these revolver plates. One of my old gyms had these and I love the sound of them clanking together as its such a unique sound to these plates only. They're also super easy to carry and rack

The adjustability is awesome on this this andthe ability to use it for multiple things. Ive used it a bunch in the past and will hopefully add one for outdoor use in the future for home

Pretty expensive per usual with Arsenal, but this machine was always easier on my shoulders than a traditional dumbell fly

My wife had this bar for a few years before we made the home gym. It sat in the garage collecting dust for a bit and now the collars don't move so well. Also I don't think you can call it a true multi purpose bar when there's no center knurling for squats. Also not a fan of the double rings. Its a good beater bar for us now

Still the best cambered/neutral grip bars i've used. Obviously harder to acquire now that they're out of business
