I only use these on my curl bar now because this cannot handle any serious weight. They cracked after 30 uses and were incredibly stiff before that. Just buy the bells of steel if going cheap or upgrade to something that won’t last only a month

I’ll be honest I got mine for free by rescuing it from the dumpster at work. After I restored the leather and placed some rusted bolts it hasn’t been terrible. But the width of the pad is tiny, the legs are long and clunky, and you almost have to hole it upright to use the wheels. The height is also massive probably the tallest bench I’ve ever used. Lasted me about a year after being restored so it is semi sturdy but I just purchased the Rep AB-5200 2.0 with a wide pad so I definitely am excited for the upgrade!

It’s a good magnetic bowl. I think that this wasn’t designed with loose chalk in mind. I love how small the footprint is and the magnet is great. I will be upgrading from this but it does have abmat high quality build but just poor engineering.

I got this knowing it wasn’t going to be the most wonderful and highest quality piece ever. I definitely believe it is better than any other economic option besides maybe bells of steel. My main complaints are that unless you have diy add ons like making a chest fly or lat pull down, you are kinda limited in what you can really do. I love that it has a great weight capacity and the price is next to nothing for what you are getting. I definitely think that the pulleys when you have it at the highest height scrape against the cable stops and can be annoying. I also think you need to upgrade the pulleys to aluminum. I will be upgrading to a vultra at some point but if you’re in a budget and have the room don’t waste your money on the Amazon options just get this you will not regret it until you’re ready to upgrade.

I love the barbell rescue brush!! I recently got into collecting vintage bars and weights and man, this thing has been huge in reducing time spent cleaning the shaft… let me rephrase. It’s been awesome in kicking rust off. If you combine it with 3 in 1 oil it really works. It made my York split sleeve usable until I have time to put it in OA and re blue it. If you don’t have one get it! Way better for your bar than just using chemical cleaners. I would also recommend getting the magnetic holder off Etsy and just giving it a home.

I have had this piece for a couple of months now and have some opinions. I love the idea, it’s an economy multi flight with a small footprint. However, it is big and clunky to move around. On my rack (Rogue Monster Lite) it doesn’t actually fully fit. I have to essentially wedge it on and can’t put the pin in it to hold it in place. Once you get the thing on you feel like you should have just used dumbbells. But, in use it lights up my delts. I think if you’re going into it with having never used a multi flight like I hadn’t then it is great to learn if you like it. I also have to critique the claim it can be used for chest flies. I have not found any sane way to fix it to my rack to use it. Not only that but storage is a pain. Unless you buy the storage solution which is an extra cost you just have to jam it somewhere and hope for the best.In the end it’s not a 2,000 dollar multi flight, so you get what you pay for. I still enjoy it on days when I have the time to fight it but as a parent with limited time I can’t recommend it if you only have 20-40 minutes a day to train.

If you think that you’re strong this will humble the hell out of you. I’ll be honest I thought it was an easy challenge when I bought it and thought I could be on the leaderboard pretty fast… wow was I wrong. This gripper exposed how weak my grip strength has become. In fact it got me into buying a bunch of weird grip tools. Definitely worth it and is hardcore.

Love the fact that it is mobile! I can take it with me grilling, fishing, lifting. Never have to worry about the safety of my sparkling water. Couldn’t help but get two more in red.
