They’re a lot better than front loaded handles, and can be turned into a frame. Great value for the pair. They’ve taken a beating and the only wear they show is on the handles…a little rust showing, but they’re kept outdoors. The feet are a little bent from drops, but nothing major. I would buy these again if I had to.

Bought these years ago when they were a good deal. They’ve been kept outside, dropped from overhead and are still in great shape.

We have two of them. Bought think farmers on a rolling thunder would be a good idea…we were wrong, it was miserable. Great grip tool, we also use them for one arm lat pulldowns on lighter days.

Great as a yoke and to bench out of. Tall lifters might not enjoy it for squats. The Y2 version is the better buy, especially if you want to use it as a squat stand. We have both versions at our gym, but started with the Y2 because we were using it as our main rack. Would only recommend the Y1 over Y2 is height is an issue.

Great bar, got in early on a red cerakote version. More of a novelty now that it’s discontinued, but it’s the only DL bar in our gym. Definitely whippier than the Texas DL bar. Knurling is great, doesn’t shred your hands, but don’t need straps if going for singles. It’s fun if you can get your hands on one.

THE best reminder when I get done lifting hard, to go to the gym fridge and start livin easy.

They’re the best value I found for rubber coated plates during the plague. The handles makes them easy to move around the gym. They’ve been outside for over 6 years and haven’t had any issues. The red lettering looks pretty good too.

It’s a better take on a swiss/multi-grip bar. This one actually does what it says. Mostly gets used for close-grip work and benching when the shoulders are beat up. The extra ROM is a great addition as well.
