I bought this as an alternative to the X3 bar and it has not been disappointing. I have no idea what the resistance ratings are for this bar, but I have pushed 300+ chest press using large climbing carabiners and wide flat bands and am at the end of week 3 now. The bar very slightly flexes, but doesn't challenge confidence.The grips are wide grip which is great for grip strength, but may not be suitable for small hands? I have average man hands (wear large gloves) and they are perfect for me.Update: used for a year or so off and on. If you want to use over 300lbs of resistance, this is not the bar for you. Bearings started coming out of the sides and the end pieces became very loose. It still holds, but I did replace the bar. This bar is great for less resistance.
In no way shape or form am I fitness guru, just an average joe working out at home. That said, I love this for the resistance bands. It is solid, sturdy and well built. There are lesser expensive options that will definitely get the job done, however I like the heavier duty feel to this bar. I also believe this is slightly wider than the bionic body bar which was the other one I was considering. This bar is also 1 piece which I like better as well. The grips are are very “grippy” and the bearings rotate smoothly with no hold ups. I wish it was slightly cheaper, however, I am still pleased with my purchase.
Small enough to tuck into a corner when I'm not using my resistance bands, & large enough to handle all the exercises I'm doing with it. A lot heavier than I anticipated and that's a good thing.
