Great weight storage. I have three of them that I bought used from Texas Strength Systems. Shipping is steep but you expect that for a fully welded product of this size and quality. I did add plastic caps to all the tubing after nearly slicing a toe off on one of the bottom supports. My own fault for training barefooted and not paying attention.

Great plates. Much more comfortable cutouts than on Rogue's. Quality build and look great. Being thinner, more plates can go on the bar but that isn't an issue I need to worry about. Only negative is the price which is a little high.

Great concept. Poor execution. Cable attaches to low row or you can rig up a band for resistance. Unfortunately, unless you use very light weight the platform will slide towards whatever you attached its cable too. This is on professional, rubber, gym flooring. Also, there is no method to hold the cable up, like kickstands on some other belt squads, so it is a pain to hook into your belt. Product is well built and I believe that they have now offered an improved version. For somebody who is flexible enough to easily clip into the cable and who doesn't need a lot of weight this good be a great addition to your gym. Just doesn't work for me.

Low basement ceiling really limited what I could use. So just a good basic rack like this. After all, Arnold didn't need a $16,000 rack with 42 attachments. I guess this is where I'm supposed to write "LOL." I did add the Monster Lite floor plates so that it could be bolted to the floor. Solid as a rock now and plenty strong for anything I'll ever lift.

This is a fun little bar to use. Being shorter than most bars it doesn't handle as much weight. For a fat old man like me that isn't much of a problem. The coating on the bar is poor. Yes, I do agree with Dave Tate that you should expect equipment to get beat up but this coating will scratch if you look at it hard. The bar also took around 6 months to arrive. At least Exponent Edge was good about updates on when it would show up.
