Although all EZ bars are rackable, some are more rackable that others, like the Midas bar. Because of the length, it may be initially difficult to balance, but once getting the hang of it, there are no issues. The angles are good for both curls and skullcrushers. I have the previous version of the bar which has knurling on the entire bar, but after using this, I think the current version's knurling locations are perfectly fine. The knurling itself is fairly aggressive. The price is on par with most other EZ curl bars, but I think it's worth it if you are wanting to get a rackable EZ bar. If you don't care about it being rackable, you can probably skip this bar and get a shorter one.

Mine are red, but I think it's still worthwhile to give my experience. They work fine, but after more than 5 years of use, they are definitely showing signs of wear. The zipper on one my pads has failed, so I had to tape it up. I also made sure to put the zipper side down each time. Additionally, there are now large divots in the pads, but they have been that way for a while without any more signs of becoming more compressed. For the price, they're hard to beat.

Works great for strongman and other movements, such as sandbag loading, power stair, etc. The price isn't that great, but the utility is actually pretty high. It helps that it has 1" and 5/8" holes, so it's versatile there too.

I think these are great rings. Plus, my kid loves using them, so they automatically get 5 stars.

For the price, I think it would be hard to beat this power pin. Additional information as of 2026-03-13: I have used this for duck walks, power stairs, and heavy swings. I got up to around 380lbs loaded, but I did have to carefully and strategically pick my thinnest plates. So if you have too thick of plates, you may be weight limited. The structural integrity, however, has handled everything so far. I stand by initial but short review. Maybe the only fix could be to somehow allow slightly more vertical space, but it's pretty hard without making it too large in general.

I like this bench. The back pad is long enough that I don't have any issues with avoiding any gap. There are complaints about the pad being the worst in the game, but I guess if you haven't tried the "best" pads (like me), you might not notice. I do like the pad and the vinyl as it's easy to clean. I do wish they had UHMW on the ladder. It is expensive, but it's super stable when using it.

I've had these for over a decade at this point, and they only recently started showing signs of age. I do admit, however, that I wasn't the nicest to them before having a home gym, so the fact that they've lasted this long with almost no issues is a testament to their quality.

Works great for the Quick-Lock dumbbells. It's a bit expensive, but I have no actual complaints performance wise.
