I got these to use in the driveway instead of full mats since I can stash tiles easier that mats. Little to no smell, but I did let them air out. They come with little plastic pieces to hold them together, seems to work fine. I’ve used them mostly to adjust the height or blocks or a box, which is really handy. I do notice a slight compression when some weight is on them.

Did I need a 10’ bar? Absolutely not. But the quality for the price was hard to beat when I had a chance to get one. One of the main reasons I got one was to share with other local strongmen competitors and promoters. The bar is so fun to pull on. It is hard to store and definitely not for everyday use.

They are bands. They have a Rogue logo on them so they’re more expensive. I have them because I was ordering anyway and it made sense to get the free shipping. They’ve held up to a decent amount of use and being stored in a garage with a debatable amount of climate control

Nice option for smaller jumps on our adjustable DB’s. They seem well built and are easy to take on and off. I have smaller hands, so I don’t have any issues with room on the handles, but I could see that being an issue for others.

I am not a deadlift bar person but it pops up in competition so I was monitoring marketplace until I found a deal. The bar is nice, no issues with the cerakote and good knurling. The added length over a normal bar does make it harder to maneuver around in my limited space, so I find myself only using it when I’m specifically programmed on a DL bar.
