So I made the decision to start a garage gym. I wanted all the weights in KG, and a nice bar. Simple things. So Vulcan was a company that was in my head, but it wasn't the first place I got prices. After realizing that Vulcan had the best deal to offer. I went with them. I had to pay a little extra for a different bar, due to their Basic WL bar being out of stock. Even with the extra cost I still managed to be way under my budget for the gym. The only complaint I have on the bar is that the aggressive knurling is still to passive on the Olympic Pro Bar. I like my knurling a bit rough so I can grip the bar better. The passive center knurl is fine, doesn't rip up the neck at all when going into a clean or front squat. 5 stars, 10/10 recommend. You guys are awesome!
