52.5 inches between the inner collars. 15 inch smooth loadable sleeve. I picked mine up for a song when purchasing a bunch of other vintage York weights. I really like it as an historical piece but I never lift with it. The knurling is so passive that you can't tell where it ends and the smooth center section begins.

Excellent vintage curl bar. This is a daily driver for me. I have several curl bars that stay loaded with different weights for the various family members... this one I kept for my own use. It's perfect for skullcrushers and preacher curls. Mine has 8.5" loadable sleeves and weighs 19.9 lb.

Perfect way to train for the bucklist task of giving the real Dinnie Stones a go someday.

Vintage deep dish plates. Solidly built and made to last. Accurate to within 1%.

Affordable and durable sandbags that get the job done. I have a large one filled to 125 lb and do shoulder lifts with drops and a smaller one that is used as a soft kettlebell; both have held up well with no sign of seam splitting or stitch loosening. The bag uses several internal bags that individually seal with thick, strong velcro straps. These are then sealed inside the main casing. Lots of handles in good positions for hoists, carries, and drags.

I've had this block for about six months and honestly have only used it a handful of times, but it does seem to do what it is designed for just fine. A nice accessory tool to add variety to your benchwork. The grooves on it are perfectly sized to hold the bar well and there is no wobble as you press up and down. There is a measurement label beside each groove so you know exactly what offset you are working with. If your coach has programmed you to do board work but you are lifting on your own, this is a good solution.

I literally just got these and I'm still working on getting them filled but I am ultra impressed by the thickness and redundancy of the stitching and closure. I will update this review once I filled it and started to hoist it.

Excellent affordable plate storage solution. six weight storage posts on each stand plus four barbell holders. The stands are quite stable and will tolerate unbalanced loading quite well. I was surprisingly pleased by their durability despite the affordable price.
