Rob did an amazing job on these. I’ve had some OFF weight plates and these are perfect for a set and forget solution. I’d generally recommend getting weight that is more accurate, but this isn’t a bad solution for some

There is something great about the look of these plates. I think it’s the amount of lip and the font. They just look classic and I love that. A bit pricy, but they will look great in the gym.

I’m not a fan of the knurling on the pull up bar. It limits the comfort for higher reps as your hand is more likely to move. It feel amazing for like 5 reps and then it gets uncomfortable. Not a big deal, but at this price point I’m not sure why you would pay more for something with that kind of issue. They look cool!

This was a major upgrade in the balance and feel on the wrist when they made the specialty bar narrower. I still prefer the kadillac over this bar. I find the interchangeable handles to be too much choice and I’d prefer to not have to worry about setting that up and getting the angles correct. If you like that level of control and adjustability then this is great for you.

I still think a power bar is a better bang for buck when it comes to an all around barbell if you can only have one. If you have any interest in oly type lifting and need rotation in your collars then this is a great budget bar to have in your gym. Quality, feel, and usability is hard to beat.

This is a pretty stiff deadlift bar. I’d recommend Texas over this any day. Maybe worth it if you find it cheap, but I’d still recommend upgrading to Texas at some point. Knurling is fine, but the feel is more that like a power bar mixed with a deadlift bar.

I mainly use it for step-ups and as a quick height platform for strongman movements. It stays planted without sliding. It’s heavy enough to feel secure but still manageable to move when needed.

Abmat always feels top quality and this is the case as well. I do find that it is too thick and makes adjusting height on box more of a pain. With it being as firm as it is, I am not sure why it needs that much material. It would be cool if they also offered a soft one that way the conjugate method with box squats with cushions could be improved.
