I got this for my Rogue Monster Lite rack and it fits perfectly. The powder coat is definitely slicker than Rogue and I find myself using chalk more often. For $65 I’m happy with it. I wasn’t willing to spend much more for a piece of pipe with brackets welded on to it.

I used these a lot at a gym on a military base. Super high quality. Knurling is passive yet grippy. Crazy expensive though.

Got a boneyard pair of these. I really like how light they are and don’t mind that they’re not magnetic. Never had them come loose on 500+ lb deadlifts and olympic lifts. 5+ years with them and still going strong.

I primarily use these for pull-ups and really like them. I don’t do heavy weighted pull-ups with these since they’re plastic and I don’t trust them. I’m sure they would be fine, but I’d rather not push the limit of them. I think an upgraded version made of steel lined with UHMW would be a nice overkill option.

Really high quality and versatile. I use them as hurdles for plyometrics, for cleans, and a ton of other things. Plus my kids love jumping on and off them. You can get cheaper ones elsewhere, but I wanted to buy a higher quality, made in USA product. I have several products from Abmat and none of them disappoint.

I think this is a very underrated piece of equipment and really high quality. I've seen other versions compress and lose shape over time, but this one has held up great after a few years. I use it weekly for weighted situps since it helps you get a bigger stretch in your abs as opposed to laying on flat ground. It also comes in handy for stretching/mobility work. Made in USA is a plus, too.

Great conditioning tool. I have the 80lb bag and you can get some brutal workouts done with it. Incredibly versatile and you can beat the piss out of it. It's a great thing to have if you're going to be away from a gym for a while and/or you want something easy to transport. I used this and a pair of gymnastics rings for 2 months while I didn't have access to a gym and just kept it in my trunk.

Get this bar. Bare steel has the best feel. I had this in my garage for 4 years near the coast and cleaned some surface rust off twice. By far the best value for a made in USA bar.
