There's just something about DIY pieces that someone else made decades ago. I got this tree with some vintage York plates, and it's like it all came out of a high school that hadn't upgraded their gym since the early 90s. Still going strong and doing its job.

Got this as kind of a throw-in with a combo rack and some plates. For as old as it is, it seems like it's holding up really well. The knurling is super passive, especially where it has sat on the combo rack's metal rollers, but that's to be expected. It's not an everyday sort of bar, but it's a cool piece of history and is perfectly functional.

These things are awesome. I love the look of the milling, and they perform great - they're easy to grip and the tolerance on the sleeve is tight. It's fun to have a little piece of lifting history, too.

I have to use a mini jack in my garage gym due to space and the fact that my platform is small but elevated. However, my experience with this Rogue one at my work gym was very positive.

If you've got a power rack, this piece in a home gym seems pretty superfluous to me, especially if space is a concern. That being said, it's Rogue, so it's extremely solid and does what it says it will do.
