I've seen this bar snap in half. Granted it was with a 900+ pound deadlift but still....

Does the job. No issues and no complaints. I don't believe a more expensive one would help anything

Cool idea but not practical for a commercial gym, issues waiting to happen if you allow members to take something apart in any way shape or form

Love these plates and they're very convenient that they're Chrome but still are color coded so that helps avoid misloads in powerlifting meets

The wippiest deadlift bar ever made, has the sharpest kurling ever put on a deadlift bar, sad it's discounted now with Kabuki out of business as it was my favorite. We will continue to use them in our competitions

The goat of deadlift bars, more whip then most other deadlift bars (besides Kabuki) we have one from Brandon Campbell that must be 10+ years old and has held up very well other then the zinc coating coming off

As a gym owner I put this away more then any other pieces of equipment. But I guess that proves it gets used often and that people enjoy it

Soild bands, I would argue elite fts bands are better quality and also can find them on sale cheaper
