These plates are thicker than most which causes them to not be as big around. I use them on my leg press/hack squat. The smaller circumstance allows for full range of motion when doing calf raises on the cross bar of the machine. They work well for this and weight is weight. 🤷‍♂️

A super whippy bar with knurling only where you need it. The stainless steel finish looks good and the knurling feels great.

This has to be my nicest bar. The red finish is extremely nice. The knurling is aggressive as with most Loeft fitness bars. Quality product at an affordable price.

This is an outstanding bar! The knurling and whip are great. I purchased after watching Carp's gyms review of it. Needless to say he didn't steer me wrong.

I was shocked at how good the quality was when I got this. I feel like I stole it consider it was only $25. I took a chance and it worked out great.

I'm happy with this bar and it has become my go to bar. The knurling is more passive than I'd like but is done well. The fat grip really works the grip strength. A thumb over grip seems to help with lat engagement.

This is the one piece of equipment that gave me that commercial gym feel in my home gym. The value to quality is outstanding. The strength curve is really good and makes it hard to believe this is a budget piece. You'd be hard pressed to find a better machine for the money.

These plates work great! But make sure your dumbell handle has the room needed to use them. I have an average size hand and they work well for me. The quality seems to be very high and the price reflects this.
