Solid piece definitely commercial quality. Performance wise did exactly what it was supposed too although my only critique is the position of the pad makes it quite uncomfortable for men...! additionally the inability to raise the incline, made ROM a challenge. All in all though its a really solid piece.

Does what it says on the tin, holds chalk well! Small footprint too which is a added benefit, along with some band pegs for storage which are actually is pretty handy

The Strength Shop Bastard Power Bar is a brilliant all-round bar for a home gym. It’s nice and stiff, the knurling is grippy without being ridiculous, and it feels really solid under heavy squat, bench and deadlift work. Build quality is very good and it stands up well to regular strength training. Overall, it’s a really strong value option if you want a dependable power bar

The Strength Shop Riot SSB is, in my opinion, the best safety squat bar option available in the UK right now. The build quality is excellent — it feels incredibly sturdy under heavy loads and the pad/handle setup keeps you locked in and stable. It brings a really honest stimulus to squat variations and upper-back work. For what you get, the value is very strong compared to importing alternatives from the US.

The EliteFTS American Cambered Bar is a seriously solid addition to a home gym, especially for building pressing strength and shoulder stability. The camber gives a great range of motion and forces you to stay controlled under load, which transfers well to straight bar work. It’s very well built and feels premium, but it is expensive — particularly once you factor in importing it from the USA. I’d personally prefer knurled handles for better grip, but overall it’s a great specialist bar to have in the rotation.
