I used these at my local gym and they ruined regular dumbbells for me. I honestly think these are the best possible dumbbells out there and find myself using my adjustables less and less. The leverage you have on these feels excellent and the balance itself is perfect.

Mixed feelings on this. The welds are ugly as sin. The spacing is a little off so it doesn't fit my narrower rack. A lot of these bars seem to have more collar real estate so they fit all racks, but unfortunately I have to bench this off spotter arms. The knurling is surprisingly okay and a real hot take here; the handle spacing and the central angled handles are a pretty good set up. Now the real upside is that this was only $100. Is it excellent? No, but I have used the Kadillac bar and get an identical chest pump at an absurd discount though.

This is a terrible bench. My amazon bench broke and I'm not a quitter, so I bought this on Facebook marketplace for $120. It's super slippery. It is somehow 77 freaking pounds and still wobbly. The handle to move it doesn't have enough space to get your hand inside, so you have to do a test of grip strength to roll it around. It doesn't stand up. When you incline the bench, the seat drops closer to the floor. So at a 90 degree incline, your butt is 3 inches from the floor. Did I mention it's 77 pounds? I could not imagine spending $600 on this new.

This is just a cheaper Mikolo cheetah that comes with more attachments. I'm blown away by every detail, because I can't believe it was only $300. The travel isn't the smoothest and its (the rack and the travel) a little shorter than I like, but I have found some work arounds. The structure is stout and I'm even considering adding aluminum pulleys. I wish there was one more lower 1 inch hole and it was 5-8 inches taller.

I really like the knurling and finish. Obviously the black sleeves are scraping off, but that was expected. It is just purely rated well on value and their customer service was surprisingly awesome and thorough. They didn't have the exact bar I wanted but gave me a decent discount on another.

VERY grippy texture. Great build quality and great width.

I think this is one of the best Viking handles on the market, unless you prefer some sort of fat handle version. Very ergonomic. The only issue I had is that it was rough inside the sleeve and was scratching my barbells before I sanded it. I use it for RDLs, Presses, Front Squats, and Hack squats with a slant board.

If this was 3-4 inches longer on each side, it would be near perfect. The build quality is robust, but your typical BOS mid-tier finish. It is way more affordable than a Darko Shorty or Longy, but also maintains a slight edge on versatility with the additional holes and top/bottom attachment points.
