Unboxing review: I have never seen these IRL before they got delivered. I get it, I’m immediately in love. (And all the nuances and caveats reviewers say make more sense) Will update as I use them.

As a female, it took a couple tries to get the right size. I forget I have it most of the time but I like it when I remember I have it. High quality and will last a long time so no complaints there.

I used to own this was a squat stand. Never really understood the purpose of 2 bars for a 2 post squat stand. However it’s built like a tank.

Got the all zinc version in clearance. I like the bar. It does what I need a power bar to do. The knurling is grippy but not sharp. It took some getting used to but I think I like it. The bar new came with some finish blemishes and was oddly dusty inside the tube. None of those things affected performance and it wasn’t worth addressing with EliteFTS, it was just weird.

Bought mine used. I like that it has bar storage as well as plate storage. This thing is built like a tank and won’t ever need to be replaced. If I were buying new, I would probably choose a different one that had wheels, but if you know where you want it and plan to set it and forget it, then the wheels are not needed.

This magically appeared in the back of my car when after I picked up my first home gym purchase (rack and sled). Legend has it I was visited by the curl bar fairy.

Got a bunch of these used. Some are rusted, some aren’t. All are usable and weight somewhere close to the number on them. I almost exclusively use these for my cable machine now. I prefer the fact they have looser tolerances as they are easier to get on and off. Don’t but new— I seem the used very cheap regularly

I got the multipack and have found a use for all of them in some way shape or form. Some of the hooks are really have to fit into the slots and a couple came bent. I was able to straighten out but didn’t expect that.
