Opens up a ton of versatility to the leg exercises you can do without access to machines.

Have the Manticore version and this is only roller j cups I’ve had. Works great and has the UNHW to protect rack. Short mag pin to lock in j-up is a nice inclusion.

I have the bare steel bar in a finished basement with a dehumidifier. Knurling feels great and there’s been no rust issues after a year with minimal maintenance. I also have the cerakote version as well. The knurling is not as aggressive and the bar gets slicker. It will show wear on the sleeves quicker.

Have the byob version. Works great and very happy with it. Would be nice if switching barbells was easier/quicker. It can be a great value when on sale.
