One of my favorite rep bars. Some had issues with the stainless rusting but I’ve never had an issue. Nice bite and solid build quality!

Nice build on the plates but the internals are still plastic. Earlier versions couldn’t do smaller jumps.

These are low cost heavy duty options for flooring. It can be annoying as TSC never seems to consistently stock similar types of finishes on top.

A legend in the SSB game but pad is always torn up and uncomfortable and now there are so many better priced options of better quality.

Good bench, but would prefer the version that has either plate storage or face savers.

Nicely built bench and a staple in equipped meets, however I’d like to see them add face savers.

This is coming from a powerlifting perspective. Obviously these are not ideal plates due to their size. They’re built nice and prob great for drops and CrossFit.

Most premade platforms are glorified frames. Going the DIY route is pretty affordable depending on the wood chosen and you can get creative. I prefer cheaper board under (as long as it’s flat, then oak on top with stall mats on the side.
