Great bar

This bar is perfect for general lifting. The knurling is spot on- not wimpy but not super aggressive and sharp either. Cerakote finish looks good and I know from other applications it will hold up well.

Trap bar

This was a great addition to my shop gym - I use it for 3 new exercises that I added to my goals for the week.
It is very easy to add and take off weight and is heavy duty for any application.
