Nice product that will hold up for a long time. The one I used to have we added bands to and it seems to smooth out the resistance profile to me. I always felt like at some point you are working to overcome the machine’s friction not just the load being lifted. Can absolutely do a hands free squat on this and does not require 900+ lbs of plates to get a good lift in.

These bars feel great to use but they are not as durable as I feel they should be. In my experience bars from the 2010’s forward just don’t have the same durability as previous generations. Spun, whip, knurling? Still amazing. As with all things Eleiko, you’re paying for the name.

I love this bar, that being said, it’s not the best bar for your dollar. Bar feels great both in stiffness and knurling. I found this Eleiko bar to bend easier than I think it should given the cost and legendary status. Bare steel so it’s going to rust, which never bothered me but I understand people might not like that.

Standard spud quality. Only downside on these is the handles would be better if they were knurled steel.

It does exactly what you want it do. Mine is almost 20yrs old and is in great shape.

This is one of my favorite cable attachments. Face pulls, abdominal work, triceps extensions can all be done with this.

Great classic piece of conditioning equipment. Better for shorter high intensity workouts but perfectly usable for longer stuff too. Made to last, replacement pieces can be found online. Biggest downside would be the noise.

Bomb proof, good for a variety of surfaces. Should last forever.
