Best value mammoth bar you’ll find. Having one of these true DL bars sets your gym or comp apart!

Best compared to a Texas Monster and I think it performs above the Texas monster. Nice thick bar, fantastic finish, and solid knurl with great bite. If I could squat what I bench I could tell you the high end performance. I’ve seen the bar loaded with well over a grand on multiple occasions - I’m just not the guy to give feedback under tha weight

This is an extremely beefy, all SS, no BS axle. Sure you may want rotating ends, but ever comp I’ve ever seen has some homemade welded up bar that doesn’t rotate anyway. Awesome knurling, great feel, great overall value in this bar!

Fantastic value DL bar. The only negatives I have ever heard is “it feels slicker than your other bars”. My other DL bar is a raw steel Rogue that could gear cheese, and the other they are used to is a Texas.

An extremely nice bench bar that I had well over 1000 on multiple times. Nickel chrome finish so if you like a nice bright look you’ll get it here. I would rank it ahead of a Texas Bench Bar, and it’s a super solid cost. Bar is on closest bench in photo

Great value for us as we picked up secondhand. These have all but eliminated the wagon wheel usage, and are a much better play “off the floor”. Not the most used piece in our gym but certainly a valuable one. Same idea could be accomplished with a wood build but at a higher weight and storage impact

Do I knock my own build Quality? Sure. Shaft collars an an easy play but toss a quick tack on then for added strength. We also used caps to really class it up, and finished with truck bed liner rattle paint. My most recent build got “repurposed” into plate holder extensions for my leg press but I’ll rebuild for an outdoor bar at some point

Essentially a universal design, and the weight limit is a suggestion as I have 440lbs on them with no issues. Weight is 2” off the ground, but they’ve held like champs.
