“A solid piece of equipment to add to “home gym” set up. Once you figure out the best way to load and unload it with weight the transition times are pretty short. Im not a giant man by any means or small and the breadth of the bar allows me to bench, deadlift, and squat.
Only critique is I wish it came with the adder weights and the plastic weight pins.
This should not diminish the value or worth of the bar but I was under the impression it would be the same length as an olympic barbell. I should probably slow down and understand what I’m reading in the description.
Also the stickers show weight calculations with 1 or 3 adder weights. I don't know when you would squat, bench, or deadlift with more or less weight on one side.
Bottom line, its a solid piece of equipment. Im just a dad rocking home gym and it helps me be more fit.”
“A really handy way to use your PowerBlock dumbbells for barbell squats, deadlifts, etc. No need to have a stack of plates, and it's really easy to change to your desired weight.
The only thing is I had some trouble putting this together. To tighten the bolts that connect the weights to the bar, you need to use one 17mm wrench to hold one side of each bolt in place, and another 17mm wrench on the other side to actually tighten each bolt.”
