Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The chrome finish and welding on the bar is good. Seems sturdy, welds are decent, and knurling is adequate but not too aggressive. Mine is finely crafted.

The bar seems perfect for people like me with back issues who want to dead lift. Trap bars are awesome there is no need to do barbell squats when you can do work the same muscle groups with a trap bar. Only negative is the big package made the weight ...  Read More

Very happy with versatility of this bar. Bar is wider than competitors that cost 2x as much. This bar is a beast.

The combo grip ecom package has raised grips. The knurling is aggressive so you'll need to wear gloves. The bar has nice thick 32mm handles that feel great in my hands.

It is bomb proof and i will not come close to maxing it out with plates. The 75 pound weight makes it even better than a standard trap bar imo. My only caveat is that i'm using it with iron plates, not rubber bumper plates which are much thicker.

The knurling isn’t the best after awhile.

Shipping


If you need to lift heavy with bumpers, you're going to need a longer bar, and the shipping on a longer bar is probably going t...  Read More


A big part of how they keep the shipping cost on this bar down is by making sure that the bar is not too long--so the loadable ...  Read More

Packaging/appearance


The packaging was quite good and it arrived in good shape.


The packaging was beefy, lots of styrofoam and a thick cardboard box.


The awkward shape exploded out of the box.


Yes the packaging was all banged up but so what.

Competitiveness


This bar is wider than competitors that cost 2x as much.


I have not loaded more than 225lbs on it but it is very sturdy.
