I actually really like this bar. If it had better knurling, I would use it a lot more. It’s a decent bar for benching, but I primarily use it for squats to ease tension on the front of my shoulder.

These are an excellent upgrade to the PR-1100. I use these for almost all movements inside the rack and they’ve held up great for 3 years.

These are a decent upgrade to the PR1100. I still use the strap safeties more often than not, but these work well for mounting a leg roller.

It’s ok. It’s very smooth, but does the job. No real issue with the welds, so the few times I do Viking press, this is good enough.

This is a surprisingly versatile hook. I bought 2 of these to hold collars, and found that they do a great job of holding my barbell out of the way when I’m not using it. My rack is a lighter gauge steel, so they do wobble a bit, but I stuck a thin magnet inside the rack to add some tension and it worked great.

For a space the size of mine, there is not better flooring option than horse stall mats. I didn’t even have to offgas mine, as they had been stored outside at Tractor Supply. I don’t have a dedicated platform, but these mats have worked well enough to protect my floor and plates.

This bar is my favorite thing in the gym. I went with bare steel, and after 3 years in my garage, it looks great. Excellent, aggressive knurl. I can’t imagine a better bar

I was lucky enough to have these thrown into a FBMP deal for next to nothing. They are are solid, satisfying but heavy collar. They are my strongest holding collar, and just have a very cool vintage feel.
