A beast of a unit but I would still pick a Rogue bench any day - and they are more accessible.

A nice piece but I can’t say it stands super proud of other bicep machines I’ve used.

Another really solid plate load piece that does great work. Independent arms like much of the Hammer line allows a little better play. It’s a guarantee “stop by” whenever I’m at a gym with one and it’s back day. I passed on adding one to my space due to sq.ft. issues and wish I would have bought and stored

Expensive but super nice bar. If you have room for one and are ok with cost, you won’t regret. Key things I’d say: 1.) I’ve seen the foam tear fairly quick - don’t know if that’s use or variability on quality of foam. 2.) this bar won’t physically fit on me. So if you are between a 3xl-4XL shirt with a thick chest and back find a gym to try one at before you hit the buy buttons

It’s a no frills, barebones entry to the space but will perfectly serve your home gym needs. I also saw one survive 10 years in a commercial space. Not sure if that is a statement of its quality, or the lack of love for weighed pull-ups and dips in that space, but either way it was still kicking.

They are no better and no worse than any other offering. Price point seems like Nike really thinks they are special. Comp point would be Rogue echo bumpers, and Nike is well above.

In a crowded field, this bar blends in as a completely bland and forgettable offering. One of our team lifters was using at a meet as Nike sponsored. There was a chance to take home a bar for top performance, and we decided early that it wasn’t much of a prize. Knurling sucks IMO, and I wouldn’t trust it much more than a Cap on heavy lifts.

For a company that left golf because the margins weren’t right - they get into gym equipment? Not sure who did the market study but they walked into a saturated space with an absolute dud of a bar. Short of the swoosh, nothing stands proud on this piece.
