When I am disciplined and use it as often as I should, it keeps my lower back feeling solid. Several times I have slacked off, and I pay the price. It can be uncomfortable to use, but for me it's the best medicine for my lower back. Mostly use it with moderate weight and higher reps.

I have the earlier version of the bar without the extended handle. Knurling is solid. The main issue is when you pick it up, you need to make sure your hands are centered on the grip, otherwise it the movement can be difficult.

Purchased this a while back before the price increased. Added some Titan rubber tiles and plywood for the center. I often cycle band work in by using the pegs and it works well. Setup pretty much replicates what you would see if you competed in a powerlifting meet.

My first entry into the Boujee tricep accessory bars. This is as old school as you can get. I have had it over 5 years, and it still looks brand new. The grip is fantastic and looks "bad ass". TK Star has been in the business for a long time and if you can find any of their older equipment, grab it. I'm taking this one to the grave with me.

Added this to my S2 squat stand. Doing squats with a Marrs Bar and failing can put you in a very precarious position. The safeties help solve that problem.

When I want to bench heavy, I don't head for the mountains. I head for the basement.

Solid and expensive. Great way to display vintage dumbbells, but difficult to take them out due to the angle of the above shelf. I can understand how some companies are now coming out with the bottom shelf being on rollers.

I picked these up on Ebay several years ago. They must be close to 100 years old. The handles are pretty fat, which allow for a solid grip. The brand name is "Good" and is well known in the vintage library.
