I don't really have any complaints about these collars. They might wiggle a little bit on heavy deadlifts, but I tend to use these as backups to my Rogue Oso collars, anyway. They've got a tight, secure fit and are easy to get on and off. Love the variety of color options that are available, too.

This is a "blemish bar," so everything has to get filtered through that lens. That being said, I'm really happy with this bar. The specs are really similar to my cerakote Rogue Ohio Power Bar, but the knurling is noticeably more aggressive. The only blemish is the mark on the sleeve, otherwise this thing is pristine. It looks beautiful, functions really well, and is an insane value.

I used this in the gym at my office when I first started lifting, and I had no idea how spoiled I was. The knurling is noticeably more aggressive than the cerakote version (which I own), and I was impressed with the condition it was in for a bar that basically was used in a commercial setting. The fact that it was also the same bar that was used in the USAPL meet I competed in makes this a difficult bar to beat.

I went back and forth on whether to buy used or new, and opted for the more convenient option. In hindsight, I wish I would have found something better. I had to do some re-drilling of a hole to get the front post to align better, and even still it's not square. The handles are pretty close together, which makes it difficult for even average sized people to not bump into them. Also, something with a foot plate will work better than just these rollers that keep the heel in place. In the end, I can still do back extensions, and the folding ability gives it a small footprint, so it could be worse.

This thing works great for my needs. I use it mostly for Bulgarian split squats and as a back support for seated dumbbell overhead press. The pad is surprisingly nice, and it fits pretty snugly on my T-3 rack; I haven't noticed any wobble. Only "complaint" is that you have to unscrew the nut from a decently long bolt.

I didn’t center the hole very well in the cap. Other than affecting my perfectionism, it doesn’t hamper performance. I probably could have gotten something for just as cheap as making it, but whatever. I don’t love my DIY pulley system, so I guess I’ll just need to buy a horse stall mat gripper to make owning this worthwhile.

Mine has lived multiple lives, first as a space-saving soundproof platform, then as pulling blocks, and now as a more permanent platform. I’ve got a few layers of foam puzzle piece tiles stuffed under the stall mats, and they do a great job of deadening sound. There’s a little bounce, especially with bumpers, but it’s held up really well.

I use this at the gym at my office. Can’t imagine paying anything near full price for it. Performance-wise, it is extremely solid and can bear a ton of weight. The pad wobbles a bit, a trade-off you have to make for how easy it is to adjust it, I guess.
