If you're in a 'small' space, this is wonderful. I had a full ohio power bar before this. When I switched to shorty bar i felt free. I could deadlift, spin in a circle, and not damage anything. Yes the sleeves are shorter, yes its 35lbs...but its a rogue bar so it feels and works great (I love cerakote vs. zinc). Its less unwieldy if you're trying to maneuver it one-handed. I love it. I gave it 4/5 for value because Its expensive and there's lots of bars that will work great for my skill level.

This is a good rack. Nowadays, its not a great rack. I was lucky to get this in Covid. But now a 5/8" rack just isn't going to be as versatile as a 1" rack. This also has a ton of 'designed' wobble when doing anything on the pull up bar because of the fold-away feature (something I've never used). If you want a fold-away rack - go PRX. If you want slim there's a ton of wall-mount options that don't fold. If I did it all again, I would go wall mount Athena I think. All that said, this rack will out live me. It does what I need it to, the stringers made installation simple, and I never doubt it's capabilities.

Obviously this is catering to a niche... one I fit perfectly into. You want a FT but you don't want something that takes up more 'total sqft' than a power rack. I use one wall of a garage for my gym and we try to keep the garage functional for other things (cars, kids stuff, storage, egress, etc...). The Anker 7 has an extremely small footprint with, as far as I can tell, full FT functionality. I have 200lb stacks at 1:2 and they are great. For lat pulldowns or rows I use a joiner to join the two cables and get a full max 200 lbs (enough for me). For lat pulldowns I also have a ceiling rig to get full ROM (see my photos). Something that isn't a knock against the FT, but something to consider: You can't add/use the uprights for anything other than adjusting the cable height. All the folks who want to do some innovative jammer arm/gibbon arm things... this is not for you. If you're concerned about the width of the machine and getting "full stretch" I haven't really experienced an issue where I feel like I'm lacking ROM, and I'm 6'0. TLDR: Awesome slim FT with minimal tradeoff.

This is the best dip station I've used. I'm not big, 160 / 6'. I had a traditional rack-mounted dip horn (BOS has a great option for 5/8" racks). And the thickness of the bars + the angle never worked for me. Plus I have only 2 uprights and a ton of storage/jammer arms, jcups etc... it was a pain to set up. These IM Dip Handles way a ton less than your typical rack mounted option. This makes storing it up high on the wall way easier. They are fast to assemble on the bench. Plenty of clearance for the dip motion. They are essentially parallel instead of angled and thinner than your usual rack-mounted dip horn so they feel way better to me. They don't have powder coating or knurling... but honestly they feel great. I had these when I bought my first super bench used. I sold them when I sold super bench v1 to buy v2 and bought the BOS dip horn for my rack. Finally I got fet up putting that on my rack and being unnecessarily uncomfortable, so I sold BOS and bought these again because they felt great.
