When the term "gold standard" gets tossed around, I think of this bar. There really are no downsides to this bar. Great knurling, strong as a house, and is my personal daily driver.

Yes, sometimes, this serves as a great stand up desk when I'm working from home but it's one of my most used pieces of equipment. I credit this piece for helping me recover faster from a spinal fusion and use this Hyper as a primer and a finisher depending on the day. This is a very solid piece and once it's put together, where ever it ends up will be it's permanent place since moving it takes a village. For you office workers, if you have the means to purchase this, I highly recommend you do since we're all aware of the various issues of sitting at a desk for a third of your day plus commuting to and from the office. In my honest opinion, whether you use time or reps while performing the reverse hyper movement, it's like a reset button when you're body has been glued to an office chair. Also, if you purchase this particular piece, throw out the strap that comes with it and get the Spud Inc strap instead since Titan's included strap sucks. The carry over to your main movements is very noticeable. Charles Poliquin said "low back strength radiates" to improve other lifts and I've found this out to be very true. 10/10 would purchase again but this thing is so solid that it will outlast me and plus, I'm pretty broke.
