If you're in a basement or other decently climate controlled environment and are willing to perform routine maintenance on your barbell, then this is a terrific affordable option. I've had this bar for 3 years now and it still looks brand new. The knurling is spot on and the bar itself is extremely well built. This is a piece you will have in your gym forever if you take good care of it.

This one is definitely a great budget option that won't break the bank. Some of the screw holes were a bit wonky on my unit, but not a deal breaker. The back pad is comfortable as is the lap pad. For those bigger guys, I'm not sure this will work. If you're 6'3 and above you may simply be too big for the equipment. However, if you are willing to accept these limitations it is a great piece for targeting your glutes. Doesn't take too much weight to really feel it.

The first high quality bar that I purchased for my home gym. This one is an amazing daily driver with a lot of little touches that really set it apart. First, it's a beautiful bar. The logos and the all black design make this a stunner. It will last you a lifetime. The center knurl being passive for squats is a really nice touch. The knurling itself is probably "moderate-aggressive". I think if you're starting out and need an extremely versatile barbell for olympic lifts as well as powerlifting, then this is your bar. I would recommend it for most home gym users since it is just so versatile and will last you forever. It's not cheap, but it definitely stands out.

I would give this 5 stars across the board but the version of this that I ordered did not have band pegs. You can still use bands, but it requires wrapping around the unit itself. The strength curve on this is extremely good. There is only a tad bit of "dead" space at the top of the leg curl movement. The amount of adjustability with this unit and it's construction is where it really shines. It easily accommodates both myself and my wife. I would put this up there as a top tier leg extension/leg curl. One added benefit is that it doesn't take a ton of weight to feel heavy like other machines on the market. Love the viking logo and design of this one. Would highly recommend.

Really love this for a ton of different uses. It fits my cell phone and a drink. It's helpful to track sets/reps and attaches to my Rogue Echo bike. The magnet is REALLY strong. Does exactly what it claims to do and just works. There are a lot of cheap knockoffs with weak magnets, but this is the real deal. Would highly recommend.

This is the flag that introduced me to Massenomics. If you grew up in the 80s or 90s and played videogames then this is a must for your home gym. The fact it's part of a series is awesome and can help establish a theme to your home gym that's fun and nostalgic. Would absolutely 100% recommend. I own the t-shirt too. The whole 8 bit series rocks.

I have the magnetized version of these and use them quite frequently for plate loaded machines and EZ bar curls. They are mostly plastic and the build quality isn't as robust or beefy as some other collars on the market, but I've never had an issue with mine. They snap into place and hold the weight there and the magnets are a nice feature that allow them to be stored virtually anywhere. Not sure I would trust them with a ton of weight on each side, but for the price they are fine for what they are. I'd recommend them for EZ bar or specialty bar curls where the sleeve is smaller since these are very narrow and definitely better than spring collars.

I got these as a budget alternative to the Prime handles, which I assume is why most folks have picked them up. While they work well, I don't really find a need for them over my Mag grip style handles that I have already. The paint chips almost immediately as well. I would recommend getting the mag grip style package over these given the similar price. That being said if you are specifically looking for single arm row handles, these would definitely be my recommendation. I just don't do a ton of those movements. I use them with a banana clip and they're fine for dual movements but not as good as the mag grips.
