I read the lack luster reviews before getting this bar and gambled by still choosing to get this bar. I was hoping for the best, but expecting the worse. Honestly, this bar hasn't disappointed me. I do agree it's not perfect, it's pricey, scratches too easily, though it's still a highly versatile piece of gym equipment. I like the goblet, front squat, SSB, and camber feel. Not a fan of the hinge mode. Using those pins and the fact that the sleeves get scratched every time it's used is annoying. I've tried the easy and difficult mode, and it felt just that. The padding is great - no complaints. I find the bar to be a useful adjunct to the workouts. The problem is, now I want to get the Duffalo bar - gym math. If you have the disposable income and want to mix up the workouts, get this novelty bar.
