Fine treadmill for the money, especially if you aren't planning on doing any serious training on it. Ours gets used pretty rarely, light duty, and it's been perfectly ok. It's pretty loud in use but nothing ridiculous.

All the downsides of a loadable dumbbell handle- having said that, the quality of these is extremely high, just like having a tiny barbell in each hand. I use these when i need to go to a heavier weight than my fixed set up to 50, which right now is fairly rare since i generally stick to barbell exercises at heavier weights. So loading them up once in a while is not a big deal. The space and money i save by not getting more fixed DBs or an adjustable pair is worth it for me since these do feel incredibly nice in use. I wouldn't recommend loadables as your only pair of dumbbells though.

These are super nice bumpers, relatively thin for this style, and very reasonably priced. Very happy with these.

Perfect for vertical bar storage, not too expensive, a must-have. Even if you're not worried about damage, it's just nicer to not hear or feel the bar sleeve slamming into the bottom of the tube.

Love the way these look, easy to grab, and I'm nowhere near the point where i need to worry about filling up the bar because of the extra thickness. What a nice problem that would be. Also like that they are made in the US, and unlike others i enjoy the sound they make when I slam them together into the bar. I only have 45s and 25s of these - like others I do wish the 25s had a slightly deeper lip but that is purely nitpicking.

Like many others, these came with my rack although mine are the bright zinc version. I have used them a little bit for banded work, no complaints, and more often to hang things from. No complaints there either. They still look brand new and are strong and sturdy. I think they are comparably priced to other companies as well.

I haven't ever done much kettlebell work, but these have done the job when I've used them. They seem to be high quality and still look as new as the day I got them.

This is the only deadlift bar I have ever used, so I am mainly comparing to my experience using a Rogue multi purpose bar and a Rogue cerakote OPB. Those were my only bars for a long time, so when I got this I immediately noticed that it was significantly whippier and the knurling was way sharper. From reading other reviews, it seems like that might be inconsistent but for me doing higher rep sets with this bar can actually be painful. In a good way though, I have never felt like I was going to lose my grip because the bar was slipping. I am also inclined to like this bar because I got it brand new for around 200 bucks. Not sure if it was getting discontinued or what but I would recommend this bar, although maybe try to get your hands on it first since the quality does seem to vary based on what others have said.
