“I can't believe no one has reviewed this yet. Hopefully this will convince others to buy this. The rack was sent extremely well packaged and arrived quickly (about 2-3 working days). The pieces were packaged so well that even after FedEx completely annihilated the cardboard, all of the pieces managed to stay unharmed and all nuts and bolts were accounted for. The product itself…unbelievable. Not sure why people buy less sturdy products for 2x as much other than just for the name I guess. The steel is solid and all of the pieces feel like you could drop a tank on it and the rack wouldn't bend. I did have to go out and buy a larger adjustible wrench as well as a socket for my ratchet to put the pieces together but the savings for the quality was worth it. Plus I got to buy new tools so win-win. If having to buy tools is a deal breaker (despite saving literally hundreds of dollars), maybe this rack isn't for you. I did some ridiculously exaggerated kipping pull ups and there was only a slight wobble. I just wanted to see what the rack could take and I was impressed. If I could only tolerate absolutely zero wobble then I would have bought a rack that bolted into a wall. I will note that I didn't try my ridiculous pull-ups with any plates mounted to the rack which I imagine would have reduced the wobble to pretty much 0; however, if I ever find myself doing those kinds of pull ups for real then I shouldn't be allowed to use the rack. To be honest, there was so little movement that I didn't care to even test it with the weights holding it down. The fact that it comes with spotter arms was a plus. This rack will last longer than I will. Vulcan does offer military discounts which was great and the customer service was excellent when inquiring about it. I will recommend this product to anyone looking for a squat rack.”

Thanks so much for your review Michael!

“These 10lb color bumpers are very nicely made. They are made just a tad smaller than the heavier plates to decrease the impact on them when dropping the bar. Still they appear to be very sturdy in their own right. I've had them for a little over a month now and have no complaints whatsoever. Another solid purchase from Vulcan Strength.”

“I just purchased 2 pairs of the red econ 55 lb bumpers. The quality and appearance are excellent, and the price is about the lowest you can find for colored bumpers including shipping. I have other bumpers from a variety of manufacturers (Pendlay, Kraiburg, OneFitWonder) and these compare very favorably. They also weren't oily or smelly as new bumpers sometimes are. I would highly recommend Vulcan bumpers.”

“Have been using them for about 2 months now. They tended to slip around on my new Elite bushing bar when I started using them, but that seems to have settled down with use as the inside of the inserts get some wear on them. Very happy with these.”

“Got the whole set, and love them. The only improvement I can see is to offer 1 1/4 pound plates. 2 1/2 pounds can make or break a PR in the snatch.”

“I received the one basic barbell, from the discounted stock about 3 weeks ago. I've used it 3-4x's a week since and can say that it has a great feel to it. The knurling is slightly more aggressive than other bars I've used personally and it feels wonderful for deadlifts. Lots of grip but haven't had any tearing on my hands or shoulders yet. Spin on it is decent to good. It scratches easy but honestly for those that scratching the barbell matters, it's for gym use so no big deal it's not for looking at. Price was amazing, great for the quality and nothing is going to come close that's worth getting anywhere in the same range. My thoughts: a definite buy and I would buy it again if I had to. As an after thought, customer service was great as well, answered my questions politely and was glad it showed up just as I would have expected. Great quality!”

“I just started outfitting my first home gym, as well as working for two gyms and a personal training studio with all manner of equipment needs. I started looking at more local and regional companies to help support local business as well as minimize shipping costs. Being in the southeast, there has thus far been no better choice than Vulcan. Vulcan has the best quality kettlebells and bumper plates that I've encountered for the price. If you're looking for the happiest compromise between budget and professional high-quality, you've come to the right place. Vulcan also has the most responsive customer service I've seen in a training equipment company. Fast shipping and plenty of communication. Really, I've only got good to say. If you're a professional who wants to deal with other true professionals, Vulcan is your company.”

“I honestly can't think of a bad thing to say about these plates. Accurate, won't chip your sleeves, can't ever fall apart, all the appropriate colors and cheaper than any of the plates offered by the competition. They do come with a little grease from the factory, but just take some paper towels to them for a few minutes to get the worst of it off and you'll be good after a few days of use. Quality product from Vulcan, for sure. Unless you are holding USAW or IWF sanctioned meets and have to have certified plates you really have no reason to buy anything else. Perfection.”

“Well made with a nice chrome finish. The narrow design (approx. 1 3/8") allows for more plates on the bar than most other collars. Weight is one KG, rather than an even lb.”

“We purchased the 14 kg Absolute Competition Kettlebell for our gym as a sample for possible future purchases. I wish these had been out when we started. It is easily the nicest piece of kit in our facility. The finish is perfect, durable, and a pleasure to look at. The positioning of the bell in the rack and overhead is phenomenal. Our clients are drawn to this bell and fight to use it. (Which is great for our "Survival of the Fittest" sessions, Muah ha ha!) We will be replacing all of our current kettlebells with the Vulcan Absolute Competition bells.”

“After searching, watching videos, and reading many reviews I wanted to make the right choice for my first bar. I have been doing Crossfit for a year and a half now and with my busy schedule with kids, job, and everything else life throws at you I wanted to start assembling a little garage gym so I can get some workouts in on the days I can't make it to the gym. Read many reviews about Vulcan and how pleased everyone was with the bar. I know nothing about bars but I refused to pay ridiculous prices of the other competitors barbells out there. Probably not what a lot of people do but for a garage gym and me throwing it around I am extremely happy and pleased with this barbell. I got lucky and found one in the clearance page and it said that the bar is in perfect working condition but could be scratched or have a minor defect. I received it and opened it up and I didn't see a single scratch on it. It's a beautiful black zinc color with awesome whip and great knurling. And to top it off it had free shipping. So pleased with this purchase and truly recommend this bar to anyone. Will certainly use Vulcan again with future purchases.”
