Definitely is probably overkill for what I need in a home gym, but it easily supports over a hundred pounds of chain and bands. Just takes up a bit of space, however its nice having everything off of the ground

Definitely overbuilt and a real pain to move around the gym, but its better than it breaking under a heavy squat. Wish it was a little quicker and easier to change the heights on it, but I think thats just the nature of it being so heavy duty

I am biased being a powerlifter and will always want a dedicated chalk bowl stand. Its a ritual before approaching the bar. This one is good enough size I hardly spill any on the ground, and it also holds some barbell collars. Win win

Very surprised with how good this bench is for the price. I was after a decline bench which didn't have the knees in a raised up position like some others. This bench is great for the lower abs and hip flexors. It's sturdy, doesn't flex or wiggle, and was easy to put together

Was lucky enough to get mine from Basement Brandon and see his gym. This bar has become one of my favorites for benching. The knurling isnt too sharp or too full. Only complaint is the sleeves are super slim so I constantly hit the racks with the plates while benching even on the Hansu combo rack

The only rackable cambered bar with center knurling. No more having to use crappy athletic tape to give the bar some grip on your back. The knurling is just a center strip and not the whole length of the bar, which is the perfect amount

Amazing way to store your bars and display them if ceiling height is a problem. I got mine with plastic to protect the bars

This was on backorder for me for months. Overall I do really like it, but it wasn't quite what I expected. I liked obviously that I could do nordic curls and back extensions, and it took up a small floor space. However when setting it up for back extensions, I cant quite get my feet firmly planted in the foot plate because the pad which goes in front of your hips isn't as adjustable as I'd like. Its a hard one to explain but the adjustability isn't what I hoped for.
