Yep these straps continue to be the best option out there IMO

It's matte black. I wanted less shine (and fingerprints) so I went that way and would 100% get matte again. If you ever want to get the sliding attachments like Athena/Ares my understanding is the metallic has a bit less friction so that might be a consideration

Raised numbers and logo yes. Holding up really well

@@gamesngunz I couldn't tell for sure ok well thats one reason they cost more than some other plates Ive seen,some do some don't.

Mine are matte black. When I was researching there were comments that the matte was more resistant to surface scratches. I also don't really want / need shiny and prefer more of a texture

it's the Smart Weigh 440lb digital heavy duty shipping and postal scale

I wouldn't worry about it too much. I think issues like that with reputable plate loaded machines would be incredibly rare since they'd have issues with the top plates in the world. Ivanko, eleiko, rogue etc all use the same diameter spec for their calibrated plates

No issues at all. Use them daily and even had an unfortunate benching incident just last week where they were called into action. Flawless performance

I could definitely see that if you're used to 49. Fortunately for me I use a close grip when squatting so it wasn't a concern. You'll get used to it

I just got the Rogue Kabukki Transformer bar where its padded, has 6 squat variations and you hold it out front solved the problem and now squatting is as comfortable as it can get!@@gamesngunz

Not optimal but definitely doable. If I'm going aggressively I find I have to tuck my legs sometimes to get full ROM

Nothing that I've observed. I actually coat the magpins with a thin coat of oil every few months just to be safe. I've seen zero wear

I think it's definitely worth it. You won't lust after anything out there ever again...

Buy the 5000 trust me. There isn’t the cost savings to justify the 4000 versus the future upgradability of the 5000.

Me as well. Thanks for the recommendation and strong endorsement of the 5000.

Rep was the first ones I had. They were ok but had the longest straps with the most sag that I've ever seen. I think Rep is in the process of revamping these according to some comments i've seen on YT and IG. Still, as is they're a good budget option if you don't mind the ridiculous sag (or are willing to replace them)

@@gamesngunz thanks I will actually consider this if it is much better quality than reps. I felt like they are the same thing but one is cheaper but I guess not huh? If it can last a lifetime and won't fail I would def get that more a few hundred more

well they pretty easily have the most robust build quality I've seen. These will last forever and will never fail. They're not TOO much more than Sorinex and are better quality. Yes they fit 41in perfectly out of the box

They're Stray Dog Strength. Review here. ua-cam.com/video/TYSxAFVcTqg/v-deo.html

I am strongly considering them. Wife will absolutely kill me though, so there's that

Yeah they were the first ones I bought. Very good but similar design to the sorinex in that the pin that attached to the uprights was metal to metal on the hole and was grinding. If you don't mind that, I think they were better quality than the sorinex ones and much cheaper as I recall

You are the man!

@@gamesngunz thank you!!! One more question - are the rogue jcups that you have worth the extra cost compared to the Rep ones that you have?? It's so hard to get honest advice on this stuff

@@bro_nah___1 no. I bought the rogue ones because I thought they'd be a huge upgrade over the rep's. In fact the reps are as good if not better and were 1/3 the cost. Now... the rogues are taller which might work better for some activities, but man that cost...

Ah that's the Rogue C-70S bar. I kind of built the whole setup around it. Review coming soon ish

Thanks! Looking forward to doing a lot more. They're fun to make
