This is really the most useless piece of equipment I've ever purchased. It's too wide to use in a rack with standard J hooks, the grips are not at the standard width for any actual log, and the cylinder isn't wide enough to make it functional for practicing log cleans. If you want to use it to build a log press, have fun cleaning it (ow) since you can't rack it (unless you're using safety pins and have a rack tall enough for you to fully press out in... Hope you're 5 ft tall) and pressing from two positions that aren't available on a real log. Basically this bar's only purpose would be block Swiss bar pressing, but you lose out on one of the Swiss bar grips that way too. Do not buy this if you're thinking it's an easy way to have the benefits of an actual log and other things in your home gym. It's not remotely useful for that.
