Got a chance to use the monster version at a gym, While it works for certain movements it's not worth the headache of setting up or storing IMO. Build quality is great however, just too big and bulky to be practical.

Have used both old and new design. Prefer the newer foam, especially if in a commercial environment. This is like the "Kleenex" brand of tissues. Most people associate this piece with Abmat for good reason, it's the first and best!

This is a great rack ecosystem for anyone looking. REP has come a long way and it's nice to see all the options put together in a 47" wide rack. I do wish they had more custom options, but hard to do when importing.

Hot garbage. This is one of the worst combos you can buy. I believe it's since been discontinued thankfully.

These pro style dumbbells can be great. They're a staple of hardcore old school gyms. However over time they tend to fall apart a bunch and they aren't cost friendly.

Ratings are subjective here as it depends what you're doing with it and where you bought. Generally these things kick your ass to the point where I'd rather avoid them :)

While this works fine for its intended purpose I don't like that you have to stack plates on the ground. Even then you still can get some movement out of it.

The first bar I ever bought (1.0). It was a workhorse but would prefer if it came in something besides black zinc.
