Held up nicely through failed squat PR attemps, Anderson Squats, and rack pulls. They dont have the top-tier build quality, but they arent supposed to be. They are great for what they are and priced accordingly.

These plates are everything that is great about Made is USA strength 🇺🇸. Thin, accurate, perfect amount of lip to make unracking and reracking easy.

Only regret not getting it sooner at the lower price. Even now, its worth every penny. Knurling is super aggressive. It's not a true counter balance trap bar, as it holds itself up through the use of friction of the plates against the thick rubber stoppers at the end if the sleeves, but I didnt think I would appreciate the bar not tipping over as much as I do. Its a solid trap bar. Believe the hype.

It's a good dupe of the Duffalo. Considering mine is one of the original made in USA Longhorn bars, its a nice to have in the gym. The passive knurling keep this from being my go-to squat bar, but I do enjoy it when I wanna give my shoulders a break and for OHP.

I have the fully knurled Curler. It's honestly the most premium feeling bar I've ever used. The electroless nickel plating coating is one if those things that you just think "ah, I get it now" once you see it and put your hands on it. The knurling is the perfect balance of grip-aggressiveness. The titanium collars are satisfying in action. My only complaint is sometime the collar does get stuck in the inner diameter of my bumper plates because the center insert has a slight chamfer to it allowing the collar to slightly slide inside, causing it to get stuck when trying to slide the collar off. This bar is not for everyone. But if you appreciate nice things, this is a beautiful piece to have.
