This is a fine bar for all around general lifting and was my main bar for a few years. The knurling is a tad more on the passive side but the grip still works for I'd say all but heavy deadlift type movements. Even at that if you use lifting straps it would more than get the job done. I've had this for years now and the black zinc finish has held up far better than I ever expected. While it's been relegated to beater bar status it's hardly looking like a beater. The sleeves still look great. I'd say if you're looking for a great general use bar that isn't going to break the bank... this is the bar for you.

These are fine for making sure your rack is safe while lifting from the front/outside of your rack. Biggest downside is the pointless bar storage. If you're using these stabilizers, you're likely using spotters so they are useless. They could save a little cost and just make them without the storage. I'd say a potential perk could be using the bar storage for a landmine w/post version but the holes for the bars is too narrow for a landmine post, so still useless.

These are very nice bumpers and the newest version has great grip. They have a nice lip around the edge and grippier feel overall so they feel great loading/unloading for those epic lifts. I have others that you definitely have to grab from the bottom or they'll slip from your grip. Not these. Great bumpers!

I got a boneyard powerbar as mine has center knurling. It's absolutely fine though the center knurling was clearly the reason for the Boneyard designation as it is quite passive vs the rest of the knurling that was spot on. It was bare steel but in my environmentally controlled basement there has been zero issue with any rusting. If you want to save a few and don't have issue rolling the dice on possibly more passive knurling, it's a great choice.

If you have Iron Master dumbbells with their various upgrade kits, this is a good choice for adding kettlebell. It does fine for kettlebell stuff but if there is one annoyance with this around its adjustability, it is that there's no easy way to add plates without fighting the balance while assembling it. Keep in mind this is a kettlebell and not the dumbbells where they stay vertical. This wants to obviously sit at an angle and the plates don't sit nice and flush making it easy to lock em down. I'm still trying to figure out the easiest way to assemble it but it is fine once it's all put together. Outside of the quirky adjustment it does open up kettlebell workouts going with this option. If you don't have Ironmaster dumbbells already though, I would look at other options that have more convenient adjustments.

It's a 3x3 11 gauge rack. What else is there? Okay, the fit and finish on this is fine though I'd prefer if they had gone with the more traditional square footplate at the base of the uprights just for that weee bit more stability. It isn't gonna fall over by any means but you'll want to have a legit rear crossmember with more depth to help make it more stable side to side. The powder coating is okay even though they've only come out with 3 colors but hey... at least you have a couple different choices besides flat black.

I bought these as a durable heavy weight option as opposed to my now sold Nuobell’s. These things are tanks and the knurling is perfection. The fit and finish is also stellar and look way better than many others. Yes they are slower to adjust but these are incredibly compact and with the heavy handle kit plus the 120lb option, they are smaller than a 50lb standard hex. They aren’t cheap and I’ve only bought them on sale but they will last forever… and they won’t roll away on you.

Great bumpers that are very well made. Only gripe is on mine, the MIL Spec versions, is they have a harder durometer with not much of a lip so the grip can be a little sketch. They just have a slickish feeling to them. A little more of a lip around the edge or maybe a stippled surface treatment would make them more grippy when lifting from the edge. These are great regardless and I think these would be awesome outside bumpers.
