I was contemplating buying this to see if it would have a use in boxing training. I got to use it in Rogue HQ, its built like a tank, a spring behind the torso, but I'm not sure hour hard I'd go at it with a Monster rack in the back as a crash pad, the concept seems good but the practical use isn't there.

Great bar, have both this and the Rogue and find myself using this more, thick handles with passive knurl, work nicely for pressing and rowing movements. Quality is good and has a very similar feel to the Kabuki one.

After seeing the US stocker that supplies this in red i went on the hunt for the Chinese manufacturer as it was the only way I could get it in Ireland. I had never been through the Alibaba process, theres a lot of back and forth but they go over and beyond, custom logos and colour. The US company has fine tuned this, relayed updates back to the manufacturer, they then sell theres with these changes, kinda unfair. But all in all the quality of the unit is great and have no regrets, although it is big

Something you definitely don't need, but when you use them they add an element of fun to your training

I have these along with other brand Kettlebells, I don't find they perform any better than other brands

I have this and an amazon plastic one, I find myself using the plastic one more, phone feels more secure in it

Whilst at the REP Fitness UK launch I got to try this out in the Showroom, It felt great, fitted so much better than the V1, so had to get it. Also has a knurled handle, the most essential part. Using it the last 2 weeks and it feels good, Nice for decline pressing, sit ups and if you flip it upside down its nice for Glute-Ham raise / drops
