Yeah, I dig it! Thanks


No problem! Yeah it was just something I noticed on my first couple reps of using it.. I may end up preferring the moderate knurl pattern of this one.. we'll see once I...

Super early SS Curl Bar impressions/photos:

Quick thoughts..
Pros:
-30mm feels perfect for a curl bar
-Bends feel great
-Knurling is very clean; great starts/stops
-Rotation seems smooth &...

Finally gave up on adjustable dumbbells.. started my new collection:

Good to hear! Yeah I've owned a lot of power bars, and for the things I value.. smooth sleeves, 29mm diameter, stainless shaft, clean knurl starts/stops, aggressive (but not insanely sharp) knurl......

I hear ya. I've never ordered a bar from Rep (shocking, I know), so we'll see how the packing holds up. I'll post a few pics of the bar when it comes in. I'd like to add the Rep deep knurl power...

Ordered a Rep SS Curl Bar yesterday! I'll post some impressions once it arrives Friday.

Hey I have that same AB Elite SS power bar! It's just phenomenal, right? I use it every session, and while I do want another power bar with a deeper knurl for something different, I just really...

Man, that's one bar I've never owned for whatever reason. I really need to pick one up one day. I was always a little jealous of your 3 Texas bar setup (DL, squat, and power, i think). :)

28mm for Oly lifting or Deadlifting..
28.5mm (Rogue makes plenty) for a nice all-purpose, do everything bar..
29mm for powerlifting (Rogue Ohio Power bar, B&R 2.0 bar, AB Mammoth, etc.).. Squat,...

AGREED! The Super Bench Pro (with upgraded pad) was probably my best purchase in 2020. For a smaller home gym, it really has it all. Perfect weight, size, functionality, add-ons are reasonably...

Holy crap. That's insane. Does she have a sister??

intrigued, but they SEEM like they would be fragile with the plastic long term..

I'm not sure why even, but I feel the same way. The symbol just looks dumb on there..

Aight.. Powerblock, after about 2 months of emails (pretty sure the lady didn't have a clue about their own products), is sending me everything I need (5 new weight "rails") to fix my set. They only...

I will say the U90 style models have a thicker urethane plate which would definitely be stronger. I believe all the urethane models have a pretty solid warranty IF you buy them new. The U50s have a...

Yeah, it looks like they may only charge me shipping for the 5 broken plate sets (~$50 total).. I will seriously consider selling these if I can get them back to something decent. Hate to do that,...

All these are broken:

Here's the common failure area..

I've got a set of Urethane U50s that have torn like crazy where the urethane meets the connector bar.. making certain weight ranges unusable. I've contacted PowerBlock, but they've ignored me for a...

Yeah I'm really tempted to pick up a bunch of the 45s. I dig the look. The 35s and 25s are kinda weird. No thanks on the 100s. Lol. They look cool, but I ain't moving those beasts around in my...

Thanks for the pics! I love the design, but can't say I like the rough finish on the surface and also I'm unsure about that black E-Coat finish.. If I get some, I may paint the letters white or...
