I was thinking the Kadllac bar as well but ultimately went with EliteFTS. It is a nice feature to flip it over to reduce the ROM.Originally Posted by Deep-Voiced-One

I picked up a set of PowerBlock Elites that go to 90lbs yesterday.
I think I got a good deal on them given the after market in my area for them. The previous owner had them for two years and the condition they're in is pristine.

I got my blemished Transformer Bar today. Let me tell you there wasn't one single blemish that I could find on this bar.
It is an absolute unit of a bar and I can't wait to start using it in my training. My only concern is the length of the handles. I tried some squats with it with just no weight on it. Keeping my elbows tight and into my sides resulted in the handles hitting the top of my knees. I adjusted by flaring my elbow out a little and shifting the handles forward as I got into the squat hole, which was better.
Other than that I'll see how it performs, but I feel I won't be disappointed.

Congrats. Just a heads up. For some reason the zinc coating Kabuki uses really deteriorates quickly and discolours especially with hand oils and sweat. might be a wipe or two after each use.

Any change to your initial impressions? Looks like these are available to order again. I'll probably hold off but curious to know if you are still liking them. No need for a detailed write-up, though that would be awesome at some pointOriginally Posted by Dont Want None

I bought 245 pounds of weights and what feels like a 29” power bar. It’s chromed so probably nothing special but does not have a cheap bolt in the end of the sleeve. There is a set screw in the sleeve, not a spring clip on the end. Had some horrible masking tape on the non knurled areas which was a pain to remove.
Oh, did I mention that the 45s are deep dish Yorks! Small chip in one of the hubs but no big deal for me. I would post pics of all of this but website is giving me “access denied” when I try to add pics.I quote with pics. ()---() York Barbell Club #78 (DD) ()---()

Not sure what is wrong with the site, but cannot upload. 3rd set but it’s been a few years since I’ve found a set. I really want to post pics of the bar to help ID it. Nothing special but would like to know.Originally Posted by Greybird2

Resurrecting my dead gym
I’ve decided to go all in for Legend… why not they’re awesome!
I did cheat however and used a 9’ Rogue Cage for my boxing rig… only because I didn’t think Legend had anything I could use in place of it.
I’m cleaning out my garage and decluttering to make more room…

This is in the works soon… I’m thinking of staying with the color scheme except changing the lower frame from shiny bare steel to silver vein and the white logo plates to silver vein (I’ll probably paint the area behind the laser cut logo with black or white paint for Legend to contrast. What do you guys think? Any suggestions
Or I was thinking maybe I’ll buy some thin sheet #8 stainless steel for the Legend logo…
My order is in the works. Lead time is 12 freaking weeks “holy cr@p”
I decided to order some polished SS sheet for the Legend logoLast edited by Nebamartinez; 07-06-2022 at 04:49 PM. Reason: Order is in now I can’t wait for this space eating beast

I know at least for me dips have been a staple in my chest routine for as long as I can remember… After years of torquing my wrists and elbows on my RC rack dip stand… no more! The angle was too parallel and the pipe diameter too small.Originally Posted by EricAtl
So, I finally found exactly what I’ve wanted for years… A dip stand that doesn’t take up much room, is built like a tank and that folds against the wall when not in use. A little plug for Rogers Strength Equipment: the angle and diameter of the 2.5” tubing seems to be spot on for me and my two sons. The old dip attachment I have is now relegated to being used for low bench dips.

New Kabuki (really Pioneer) PAL came today! Little customizing with the holes on the Inzer but it works well, nice upgrade for one of the best belts ever made
I have a love/hate relationship with my Inzer Lever belt… I love it when it fits and I absolutely hate it when I’m fatter lol. Now if I could just stay thinner…!
…I couldn’t pass up a blemished Duffalo bar lol. Damn it I started out with <$100 in my Kabuki cart… you know how it goes ha haLast edited by Nebamartinez; 07-05-2022 at 06:00 PM. Reason: Duffalo bar oh my

Thanks man! Yes it is a tank and the linear bearings are very smooth. I just wished it was made a little more accommodating for short people. The lower crossmember is kind of in the way for me while doing toe presses. I have to close the seat angle or put another pad behind me to have enough clearance to do them..Originally Posted by grumpytude
