The EZ bar is actually really nice. It is a true split sleeve. Some of the Needle bearing and the power bars have a line in them mocking the split sleeve look.Originally Posted by morebarbell
I'm usually not a fan of rubber grips and prefer knurl but these are quite comfortable. I really like that it does not have extreme angles which allows it to be used for upright rows and lying tricep movements.

As a dealer I get them straight from York. The factory is only about 20 minutes away. They assembled and welded them yesterday, painted the welds this morning and were stamping the white numbering on them when I went in to get them at around noon. I paid wholesale which I can't disclose but I would retail that set with the rack for about $1000. Alex, you should have called me dude...

No pics yet, but I picked up a cheap only bar from Goodwill for $20 yesterday. It will be sacrificed to create a rackable curl bar once I find a suitable curl bar to use as the center section. I'm thinking about using my CAP Super Curl bar as the donor and replacing it with a similar Body Solid bar from Amazon, like this one...

Stasher, Sounds like a cool project. Why the BS bar and not another Cap super or EZ? Just for fun? Or do the BS bars compare favorably? If I didn't just give my mechanic all my money, I was going to buy a couple of bars.

Pair of custom BWTG handles with 1.5 in grips. Can't wait to try these out.
Pressing movements, rows, shrugs, etc...

It's actually an interesting little bar. It doesn't have any knurling at all and it's pretty thick. I haven't put a caliper on it yet, but I'd guess it to be in the 28-29mm range, which is perfect to weld to the ends from my donor oly bar.
Edit: It's 27mm and the donor oly bar is 28mmLast edited by Stasher1; 04-12-2013 at 02:03 AM.

I picked this up yesterday from NDMike....well, actually he sent a friend to OSUDiamond's place and I picked it up from there, but Mike got me a supported row machine and I've been looking for one for awhile. I had a regular tbar row a couple of years ago, but I sold it. It was a good unit too, I just sold it because it took up a lot of room for a one trick pony.....so I cried about missing it for a couple of years, and yesterday bought a bigger one!
I like it...its huge and heavy and fits in well with all the other stuff I've upgraded to over the years. I really like the supported feature as I can concentrate on the move and not my back....which is important since my back is a little bitch. I didn't really have a lot of room for it, but I squeezed it in. I basically put all those machines on top of each other, but once you're in them there is no interference, so it works for now. I have a couple of options to rework things, but that would require me moving the power cage or the lat pulldown...neither of those sounds like a lot of fun, tbh....so for now, that little nook of the gym will be crowded.

Nice machine Keetman, the gym I used to go to had that exact machine. Really isolates the lats.

Technically - I picked these up three days ago. Set of pro-style Ivanko DB's, 10-100 lbs in 10 pound increments.
EDIT: The rack also came with the DB's. I'm not sure what brand it is, but it's a beast. Commercial quality.Last edited by swimmer32; 04-15-2013 at 07:26 PM.

Nice. Now you should pick up double sets of platemates in 2.5 and 5lb pairs to fill in the gaps.Originally Posted by swimmer32

That's definitely the next move. I'm selling my current hex DB set, and should have enough of a profit to pay for the platemates.Originally Posted by BAVE

I bought 144 sq. feet of Ivanko rubber interlocking flooring today for 60 dollars. The guy said he spent 2000 dollars a couple of years ago for it. If that is true, I got a crazy good deal. It was only 15 minutes away too!

Elite FTS Fat Bar Multi Grip!!!
Borrowed one from a friend and couldnt resist ordering one for myself last night, fantastic bar!!! Lat pulldown workout was phenominal, low rows felt great, and cable curls had my forearms on fire! Highly recommend, a little pricey at $139 but it definitely has alot of potential variations.....

...of course shipping to QC would have cost a Hyundai.
I already have a nice commercial EZ bar I picked up from CSM, and I really only use the CAP bar for LTE's and "dumbbell" rows. So, with the CAP bar soon becoming a rackable curl bar for LTE's, I really just need a replacement with a suitable shape for rows.
