This bar is super easy to use and quite strong, albeit a bit heavy. Length is adjustable by taking the middle section out and screwing the two end sections together. I use it for back work mostly like pull downs and rows. I even put it between two dip bars and do suspended rows under it using my bodyweight. Super strong. Foam is a good thickness, not too chunky to grip. Minimal noise from the pivot points during use which is a plus. I just want it to be a bit easier to lengthen or shorten quickly during a workout, you kinda just have to determine if you want it long or short pre workout as adjustment on the fly isn't fast.
All likes about this product you can do so many different exercises with this bar love it.
This has a great addition to my home workout! I use it for my band workouts!
Like others mentioned, it's quite sturdy. I think some other brands give a measurement of the strength which made this less appealing but don't be fooled. This bands is incredibly sturdy and you can even slap 1" plates at the adjustment points to overlap tension curves of iron and resistance bands! I was able to fit 40 pounds on the bar without interfering with my hands.
I use it with my heaviest resistance loop band for dead lifts. Much more comfortable and similar to using a barbell.
Having the option to make this a shorter bar worked perfectly for use with resistance bands on my workout bench. Now I can exercise my biceps while doing sit ups by using 2 50lb stretch bandsattached under my bench. Beats using dumb bells. Lots of uses in full size as well. I am very pleased with this purchase.
I think this is a very good value. It is built very well. I have not used it very long so I cannot speak to its durability, but it seems very well made. I use it daily but only with relatively low resistance bands at this time. One irritant is that the foam padding, though very thick and comfortable, is not where I typically place my hands to use the bar! There is a gap in the foam handles at that point. I think I will try to move the foam but I believe it is glued in place. Anyway, I would buy this again.
Edit: Started using the bar they sent me for deadlifts and it bent on day 2. They have sent me a replacement which is working well at lower weights.
I already had resistance bands, but water a bar to use for weight training and golf exercises I’ve watched on YouTube. This bar works for my needs quite well. It’s high quality, strong and sturdy. I like that I can alter lengths for different exercises. Also very convenient for taking on trips, but adds weight (I don’t think I’d fly with it). I’d recommend this product and would buy again.
I lift but my gym is in my airbnb so sometimes I want to get workouts in while it's occupied. This bar added so much to what I can do in my bedroom and can't lie I'll be taking it and some resistance bands on any/all trips I go on in the future. You can feel the build quality in your hands when you're using it. I looked at some others of similar design that were only marginally cheaper and am really glad I went for this one based on the solid reviews. And now I'm writing a solid review. Very happy.
I use this bar almost every day with my stretch bands connected to the ends. There are numerous effective stretches, particularly for golf, that I can get using this bar and the bands. I especially like the padded handle. It will last a long time and is a great addition for my home gym.
The board and bar are solid, but the resistance bands are weak. One snapped, and replacements were previously available but now seem to be discontinued. I hope they bring them back.
