I picked up for $280 dollars since it had arms and fit my height and space. Was looking to add in a cable machine for some time. I saw some reviews on the older version with 1 bigger upright but not on this version outside of some of the good to average reviews online. Overall had for about a month, I've had about 120 lbs on it so far and it feels solid. It will 100% need to be mounted to something to be stable. Went right into the basement wall with some concrete anchors, It has not budged since, hope that lasts. Assembly was fairly easy except the retention clips for the arms, fit was way too snug and after hammering, had to use a file to take off a tiny bit of material to get it to retention clip on. Routing the cable was super easy. Only issue was the retention clip and was able to get that on! I am docking it for build quality slightly, the uprights are thin, i'd guess 16 gauge as they are thinner than my titan t2, they are also a weird size so replacing them isn't very likely in the future if there is issues (I could be wrong, measured them at 1.625 inches and could not easily find replacements. The arms have been sturdy to the weight I have lifted so far, I would assume if I get over 200 lbs (even though it's rated for 400) it'll get pretty dicey. The arms also move in one plane if that is a deal breaker this might not be the machine for you. So they do adjust forward, just in a 180 degree arc in line with the single plane. Powder coating is not amazing but should be fine as it's in a basement. Attachments that came were the dell included keyboard circa 2005 quality. The linker for both cables is good though for the 1:1 ratio. Leg holder is meh at best. Overall, very pleased so far with the performance. If I ever have issues, I'm sure I will just upgrade to something of more substantial build quality/price. This is 100% a cheap way to add cables with articulating arms.

Don't have a lot of comparisons in my arsenal but at 24 dollars on sale these are way better than any I have used at any of the many gyms I belonged to throughout the years or anything included for free I've had before. Couldn't bring myself to spend twice as much for half the amount of handles for Rogue and these appear to be a direct knockoff. Knurling is aggressive, more aggressive than my Black Diamond Power bar as it is full mountain and less TPI but don't find it too much to handle overall, just surprised they would have gone that aggressive on it. Would buy again overall and find them to an incredible deal and quality. Spin is great, material feels fantastic and like it should last.

These appear to be very similar to the bells or Titan versions for a fraction of the price. Got a pair shipped for about 250 bucks very 500 to 600 for Titan/bells. Performance only giving 4 because like the big brands it's slow to adjust with the allen wrench then a screw. Came in a little dirty and only reason I'm marking down slightly one of them I have to line up to make sure it is easily screw able back together. Plan to mark the spot for reference with some paint. Overall very happy with the purchase.

Amazing barbell overall! Very impressed. This is my first Rep barbell, really wanted stainless for longevity. Comparing to every other brand in a stainless this was on the lower end of price. Sleeves don't wobble at all. Packaging was great, arrived quickly in one piece. Knurling is perfect for me overall. I can get strong as hell with this barbell. Great for the big three and anything else i've thrown at it, even tried curling inside the rack with it once.
