Very cool bar that I got with the matching vintage curl bar collars. It performs well for what it is. As far as vintage bars go , you would use this curl bar exclusively and still get plenty strong. Mine does have knurling so is slightly newer than the smooth. The knurling and bends are solid (for a 30 year old bar).

I got a pair at Home Gym Con in the red with black paint splash. Very nice color that has held up. If you need space savings there are the GOAT. They do fit a bit loose on the bar and are impossible to lift if they fall flat on a stall mat. With that said they do their intended function quite well. Stack a lot of weight onto a weight horn.

There are great and heavy. It's a simple design that allows for a lot of different angles. The price and shipping can be steep for what they are. Due to the build quality I would buy again.

Very middle of the road curl bar. The knurling ends a bit soon so I feel like I grab the unknurled parts where it feels the most comfortable. The coating is a bit slick with sweaty hands.

Solid plates, I have a mixed set of Titan , Ivanko and Rogue and they are pretty similar. Accurate and thin. Better value new as they have free shipping and are often on sale.

I use these and I don't compete in powerlifting. I do have an extensive Ivanko collection so these fit the vibe.

This is my dedicated bench press bar. It’s like they said what’s the perfect bar for an obese mediocre powerlifter, and nailed it.
