I got these because I was trying to rig together a car deadlift contraption. I haven't used it much since, but there's nothing wrong with it. Maybe I'll use it for curls one day? I'm Ron Burgandy?

The welds aren't great and the paint chips pretty easily, but it's a dirt cheap axle and you should probably go get it if you don't already own one.

First barbell that I ever bought and Im not looking to get rid of it anytime soon. Seven years of use in humid Virginia and it still looks great. The knurling is still fantastic and I'm hoping that it gives me many more years of use

I used to have a bunch of these, but I ended up selling them and replacing them with change plates from TSC. They are VERY accurate, but they're also featureless discs and aren't very thick. The increased diameter wasn't ideal because I was using them for loadable dumbbells. If you're using them as barbellchange plates it shouldn't be an issue

A little pricey, but they're well made and have held up over the years. Especially good for folks who are bad at pressing and need those small incremental increases

It's cheap and it works. I've had mine for six years and no issues. Included some micro gainz plates in the photo for scale

Got an already cut open keg from a buddy. I put a 1.5" flange at the bottom and build up some pipe with a bunch of sand on the side to support it. I can load some more plates in there to make it heavier if needed. Feel free to reach out if you're looking to make something similar.

The outside is fairly slick, but stone gauntlets help immensely. I think it's about 100 lbs empty, and I've gotten an extra 275 or so I there (just be careful with your chin). Also, just because you can pickup a bunch of weight in this doesn't mean you can do it with the real Husafell stone. This also makes a great place to put all your Crü stickers.
