There is nothing wrong with this bar. I used it for years, and it’s durable, well built and pleasant to use. That being said, knurling is very passive. Some prefer this, but I replaced it with a TPB, and I much prefer the aggressive knurling there. Also, I found out from this bar that I do no like ribbed sleeves. Great bar for those who do not like an aggressive knurling, and I’ve kept it around for training kids.

It’s ok. Smooth handles, lots of welding slag and it’s narrow. I put collars on before weights to keep my plates from hitting my rack because the bar is so short. That being said, I still like it for bench and I love it for overhead press

This is one of the few accessories that lives on my rack. When I had a long bout of golfers elbow, digging into the meat of my elbow with a lot of pressure is one of the few things that helped. The bear post was excellent for this. I use it all the time for shoulders, chest and hamstrings.

Bought this as my first rack intending to upgrade. Then Rep added strap safeties and flip down safeties, which increased the usability for me. There is some wobble, but it is still a functional rack for me.
