This was the first barbell I bought for my gym when I moved in to my house. It’s actually quite good for $119 but not so much at $170. The biggest drawback is that it’s 39 pounds. WTF is that about? The finish and the knurling are fine but the brass bushings are garbage so the rotation is iffy and squeaky.

Bought these pre-Covid and thought they looked really cool. Turns out they smelled like Daytona on race day and the smell never went away. The VOC game was real. Couldn’t keep them as a result of that stench. And they aged terribly.

Squeaky AF. Chrome is cheap. Knurling is bad. Just a cheap handle. Not worth getting with so many other options out there, even if you have to pay up some.

Does the job it’s supposed to do. Holds up well. Not the best tricep attachment but it’s not like you don’t know what you’re getting when you’re getting this.

I've got the 50mm version and may add larger diameters as my grip gets stronger. This thing is top notch and it has a really nice powdercoat to it. All around a great grip tool.

This is an exceptional piece of equipment for my family. I initially purchased it because it was the only way I could get into a position to overhead press after a serious neck injury. Now that I don't use it as much, I find that my family members use it virtually daily. it's an easy and safe way to get a chest workout for those less confident in using free weights and I have no worry that any of the more novice lifters will get injured. I do like the various grip angles and it's just a typical commercial piece - shroud, weight stack, rubber grips, serious heavy metal frame. Got it used, and they're out of business, so they'll all be used from here on out.

This is a great piece. It is commerical, and it feels commercial. My wife is a big fan of the Life Fitness lines and so I've tried to add pieces in from them where it's made sense. I prefer the prone leg curl to the seated, so this checks that box. I'm really happy with it. Only thing I'd mention is that there is movement on the curl movement with the top pad and I think that's just because there must be play there to move from one to the other exercise. The Prime version has the same issue. I did get this used, and I'd definitely recommend getting something like this second hand, or during a clearance sale at LF.

I feel seriously guilt for not owning the EliteFTS yoke bar but this actually is better based on my experience. The padding is almost the same and my padding has held up now for over six years. The sleeves do have a cheap chrome on them, but they don’t chip, just looks cheap. This is the V2. I wouldn’t buy the V3 they’re selling today.
