Not a bad log, not an amazing, but a good log for the price if bought brand new. It is rackable which is convenient, but some areas could use a little work. Such as the knurling on the handles are not the greatest. This is also the only log where I have had issues of the bottom of my forearms getting a little beat up because of rubbing on the edge of the handle holes. Could just be the way I grab the log, but this log is the only one that I have noticed it the most. I would still recommend for people in their home gym because of the convenience of it, as it "Gets the job done"
