    I picked up a 140kg set of these from the sale as well, they're replacing a set of Rogue Training 2.0 bumpers I got basically free on a crazy flipping deal. I really like the overall design of these...

    That Pyrros bar looks really cool. I picked up the regular SS Olympic bar for peanuts on a trade, and I agree with Pyrros; the spin, while super fast, feels loose and out-of-control compared to my...

    The gym I used to train at had all AB training bars. I liked them so much I bought two other AB bars (men's and women's SS olympic bars) for my home gym. I think all the bars they make are very high...

    I haven't found the knurling to be slippery at all. The bare steel helps. It's not as aggressive as a serious powerlifting bar would be but for most people's general training needs I like it quite a...

    Wasn't the fabrication of the Pendlay racks outsourced to someone else? I'm pretty sure they weren't making them in-house. For some reason I feel like there was talk that Williams Strength made them,...

    I have two of these (men's and women's) and like them quite a bit. Yes, the sleeves are loud if dropped but with its 29mm shaft and full center knurl, I really treat it like a power bar and not...

    I haven't seen those metal change plates before, but they look old. The white plates are Uesaka Atlanta Series bumpers. Never seen those in a 5kg plate, though. Usually competition-style bumpers are...

    Your boneyard ODB definitely came in much worse condition than mine, but that's the risk of buying a factory 2nd. You're rolling the dice to save some bucks. That said, I don't think any of the...

    Eleiko weightlifting training and competition bars are pretty damn aggressive. I think the hard chrome finish tones it down just a bit but they're still cut quite sharp, nothing passive about them at...

    I was able to get my first serious deadlift workout on the Rogue bar today. It's definitely the most aggressively knurled bar I own, and probably the most aggressively knurled bar I can recall using...

    I personally use bumpers for most things as I primarily do Olympic lifts. Even for squats I always use bumpers when I'm going heavy because I use open racks and prefer to nail squats off the back if...

    Also so many of the surfaces on revolvers are curved, whereas OMs are mostly flat. I'd guess that probably makes the revolvers much more difficult to machine?

    Still, something has either changed...

    Awesome, looks just like mine but with the newer larger footplate, which is a nice improvement. What a fantastic space you have too!

    Yeah I just checked, the Power Lift is 57.5" in length. For comparison, the Rogue Abram is 73". Huge difference if you're in a tight space.
