Good plates. My 25s and 45s are fairly accurate/consistent. No flaws to speak of... But the lip/flange makes them less comfortable to lift/carry than the revolvers. And they don't have a nice hub to lift or flat back to pinch like the deep dish. So as much I like Ivanko plates - these are my least favorite series.

Bar is awesome. Great knurling. Smooth swivel. But probably nicer than I "needed" so it was a bit of a splurge.

Got this used but in good shape. Scratched the itch of having a great bar with aggressive knurling from a highly reputable company.

Got this bar for free from an old points program. At some point I stopped using it for triceps - just hammer curls. Mild knurling but I have grips on it for fat bar type set up. Bit squeaky but hard to complain considering I paid nothing for it.

These things are massive. Bigger than the FatGrips Extreme at their widest point. Tapered shape feels good ... but material quality feels slick and subpar. I leave these on my tricep bar 24/7 for fat bar hammer curls. Great for that...

Cheap beater bar for my old landmine setup. Technically I used it for deadlifts for a while. But there are so many decent bars out there for actual lifting nowadays. Go find a better bar for a bit more money.

Knurling so passive ... I leave generic grips on it 24/7. Awful sleeve squeak. But it was incredibly inexpensive and does well enough.

Fell in love with this bench at a commercial gym I used to hit that looked like a Hoist showroom. Super solid. Yes ... kinda heavy. But it feels and works great. Decline of -15 degrees felt better to me personally than a lot of benches I tried that went to -20. And at the end of the day ... your bench is a very personal choice. This was mine.
