Really a great bar & nothing bad to say about it - eventually the black zinc can wear but really not an issue. The knurling if sufficient & aggressive enough - I would recommend this or a TPB to just about everyone as a day 1 bar before getting anything else.

This was really more of an afterthought with the dumbbells. It makes sense to get this if you buy the MX Select EVO dumbbells but I wouldn’t consider it nearly as solid. It does the job, I’d argue the height is potentially a little higher than needed with how you have to re-rack the dumbbells & it’s not all that hard to get this thing shifting around even on stall mats. It works & that’s about it.

just doesn’t feel like a home gym without these things

Does the job & makes loading the bar easier - not going to compare to a full deadlift jack but a solid option when space is limited or you're not looking to spend much money.

Really no better option on the market, but the subscription model will turn a lot of people away (around $50/month). If you can get past the reoccurring costs, this thing pays for itself in no time. I had purchased mine in 2020 when people were willing to spend 5x on what equipment was worth but I still don’t regret paying list price at the time. You can get them for a fraction of the cost & if you have trouble incorporating cardio I would really consider this. It also is a piece of equipment my wife will actually use just as much as me. Classes w/ a leaderboard, a casual ride through a virtual mountain, just peddling, watching YouTube, YouTube TV or even Netflix? All an option. I hate cardio & this makes me hate it less - that alone is worth the cost imo.

You’ll likely see this mentioned alongside bars like the EliteFTS SS Yoke Bar & for good reason. This bar is balanced, has good padding & is really enjoyable to lift with. The small details such as the knurled handles really give it more of a “premium” feel. It’s a PITA to store as all SSB’s are, but regardless this should be considered a #2 / #3 bar in your rotation.

tough to critique these for the cost - we all know they’re a ripoff of Eleiko’s Oppen collars but they work really well, are quick to take on & off & include a magnet for easy storing. I’d recommend buying these if you’re in the market for collars

Overall a really solid dumbbell - extremely durable and don’t have many concerns about longevity. The cradle is a bit difficult to dial in and if it isn’t, the dumbbells won’t adjust properly which I continued to mess with the first week or two of use. I prefer the cage-less design & of the dumbbells that go up to 100+ pounds this one is tough to beat. I think it’s a great option if you’re somewhere in that Nuobell, Powerblock etc. price range. I don’t foresee replacing these any time soon.
