Og bar is built to last. I’ve got one that’s over 10 years old. Great patina and still handles big weight.

I have over 2k of Ivanko M Series. It's a vibe. Are they the most accurate, eh. Are they they cheapest, nope. Why do I love them? Hands down the best noise clanging together of any weight on the market. The thud of getting 45s on the bar is unmatched. These are the go to plates of El Pinche Becerra's Gym.

This is a funky bar that feels good to use as the grip is way fatter than a typical curl bar. The bar is smooth yet the paint has enough grip to not feel slippery. This is a nice piece to mix into my workouts and the bends feel good.

These are the pinnacle of any gym goer of the late 90s. Knurling is just aggressive enough without being cheese graters. They look sweet. You can replace the handles and tighten. The best part. My 5s weight 8 lbs. my 100s weigh 104. You’re actually getting stronger since they’re heavier than advertised.

Do you have a piece that performs just well enough. lol. This is it. I weigh it down with York buns to make sure it doesn’t move. I’d love a better version but can’t justify the upgrade as this one does well enough.

A utilitarian piece that serves its purpose. No UHM but that doesn’t bother me. It stores an axle bar.

Purchased many years ago and still as solid as the day I got it. I’d like a bench that stands but my son loves it so I keep for him. One regret is the wide pad. For an adjustable bench it limits the range of motion for some exercises.

If you have an old York Squat stand and are thinking of throwing them out because they’re trash, stop. Make one of these. My chalk stand is cooler than yours. Science.
