I like these for when I want to go REAL heavy on a movement. Usually floor press. But usually just stay on the wall waiting to get called back into action.

I think I've owned a dozen or more of various sizes over the years. The hex pattern allows you to use them for some different movements and they don't roll on ya so not a bad choice TBH.

Moves in an out of the rack pretty easily. Probably a little heavy for my wife to move but I have no issues. Very solid. No wobble when it's on the Viper. Has the ability to add a back pad and I use the lat/low row with it.

Came on the Viper and man, they are cool. Lot of positions to move them around in and while the trolly is heavy they are on, it moves very smooth. If you can get them for your set up, probably worth it.

Look I am in the bag for cool looking stuff and bar is VERY PRETTY. Straight up. I can't tell you boo about it's performance because I unboxed it and threw it on my gun rack and never used. It's a $400 piece of white and blue wall art. Now, it's not quite as pretty Medusa bar cousin is my go to straight bar so it probably works fine but I shall never know. Plus this series of bars comes with cool coins. They are a limited edition bar so if you want one, you will have to luck out on the secondary market. I really put the nerd in Home Gym Nerd.

Got a gift card so I used it on a 100 lb one of these. Was good for a while but it's starting to get deformed. Probably need to use it more.

I got this for like $50 from wal-mart. It's been...fine? I mean, you get what you pay for but I haven't had significant issues with it. The only open trap bar I've used so if I get another one, I am sure my thoughts on this would probably change.

Bought mostly for the look. Some of the coating has chipped off and I don't really use it that much so that's a bit of a bummer. Handle feels thinner then most of my other kettlebells.
