Cheap and effective. I don’t put a lot of faith in them, but I only needed 2 more for my rack so they faithfully hold the 2.5’s

It doesn’t matter where you get spring clips, they all are terrible. The first thing I do when I get them with anything is just throw them in my recycling pile. I found a surviving pair from the early days and I feel they are gladiators that made it to the end and deserve to live even if covered in dust and neglected

The original, not the craptastiz Amazon knockoffs imported from China and sure to split. The knocks ensure your imminent demise. The originals just want you get bigger and strong. I’d rather go old fashioned with a board but when training partners are at a premium, these stand tall to any task.

I have the precursor Magnum version and you can see the influences on the piece. A local Y got the new version and I can’t say I’m super impressed. It’s a solid looking piece but has had a lot of downtime. I like the old iron workhorse better than the flashy new version!

There are far better choices out there. I just don’t see this piece holding any real/long term life in spite of relatively low usage

A grid and true player in the commercial space - this was a set I was looking to get hands on before I put the Hampton dumbbells in my space. If you can find, you won’t be disappointed!

Nothing fancy and don’t need to be. We have a bunch of sizes for swings and warm ups. We also use for kids training and let them beat the crap out of tires. Perfect application as no worries of oddball bounces like an actual sledge hammer

An extremely solid bar for your money. We used primarily as a bench bar as the specs are very close to an f8 bench bar. We typically had 8-12 months of our beating before the bar would start to scream at us, which is best life cycle we’ve had outside of F8. Pic is bar loaded with 915 ready for bench. Works well for its stated purpose as well. LOL
