SS Barbell - Excellent
Excellent quality. Grip is far greater than the Rep Black Diamond bar without any fatigue. Wants to climb up the j-cups when trying to position the bar. This will be my primary for now on.

FEELS AMAZING. and I be confident knowing it's the proper dimensions and weight since I worry about that buying a cheaper version

Amazing quality
Bought this bar for my garage gym after beginning training at Starting Strength. I am as impressed with my bar as I was of theirs: noticeably solid heft, knurling that sticks to the hands without maiming, and sleeves that feel precise. My decision to purchase was made easier by these features, knowing that, barring catastrophic operator error, this bar will surely outlast me.
