This was the exact scenario that I pictured in my mind. Just seems like at best, the sleeves would be a net-neutral and at worst could be disastrous.

That's not really the issue I'm concerned with though. The weight can swing front to back when squatting with an SSB, especially if you're squatting near max effort. That doesn't really happen with...

That's true, I'd say it's neutral. I probably should have been more clear. I'm curious if it's a hindrance rather than neutral or beneficial and I would be inclined to think it's the former.

Nice looking bar at a solid price but the loadable sleeve length kills it in my opinion. How hard is it to use standardized sleeve length?

Are there any other SSB's on the market with spinning sleeves? I'm not sure that's a benefit, especially if you're squatting significant amounts.

How did you manage that when 50% of their products are out of stock? Lol.

Aaaand scratch that. $19 off now. Trap bar was $25 off, now $6.75 off. Yikes.

I'm also a big rep fan, a lot of the stuff in my gym has come from them. But they have bungled this in epic fashion.

Yeah that's what Duke said on the previous page. I was hoping to back-order the Trap bar and some of the cable attachments. Hopefully they get that changed.

Ah, I was looking at the door busters page assuming those were the only black Friday deals since it has a banner saying black friday deals, lol. So the doorbusters are very underwhelming but it looks...

Whelp got into Rep's website momentarily (it's down again now) and was able to view the black friday deals. Very underwhelming sadly.

I rarely use my belt and my lifts on the big three are pretty high. That being said, that's entirely personal preference. A belt is only useful if properly used. Just slapping a belt on and cinching...

In case anyone is curious about the Nickel plating, here's what Kabuki has to say about it on their website:

"Nickel Plating is used in engineering applications where high wear, corrosion...

Didn't see a thread on this yet so I figured I'd make one because they've got 3 new bars up for pre-order that are all slated to ship in June:

Bastard Power Bar - 29mm, 220cm bar (86.6")
Bastard...

Lol at wasting 3 pages arguing about watching sports versus watching video games, you guys sound like a bunch of fairies. Who gives a rip.

Occasions like this are why this forum needs mentions.

Y'all haters are crazy, playoff hockey is the best. It's insane how quickly a game can flip. If I remember right, I think the Blackhawks (maybe?) scored like three unanswered in the closing minutes...

I just get pasta'd? Damn it.

To be fair, this could be said about owning an AR-15 at all. At the end of the day, I'm not going to be using an AR-15 for anything practical, just for fun. But if you want to have a little fun with...

For sure, Scheels runs a racket.

Thanks for the advice guys.

I used to be all about that Natural Light.
