“I like these. They do smell but not bad at all (I use them in my garage). Seem sturdy and they don't bounce hardly at all but do make a LOUD noise when dropped.”

Thanks for your review Meredith! If you purchase more plates in the future, consider the Alpha Bumper Plates that are lower noise. http://www.vulcanstrength.com/Vulcan-Alpha-Bumper-Plates-Set-p/alphbsets.htm

“What can I say this Kettlebell is amazing, the craftsmanship is dead on it has a great shape, handle and feel. its totally balanced and swings like a dream. The finish is solid and the sizing is really cool because it stays the same regardless of weight. Can't wait to get strong enough to upgrade to my next one!”

“I absolutely love this bar. The way it spins feels just like butter. The whip in this thing will have you thinking you just power cleaned the maserati of barbells.”

“Great product. Slides on and off bar easily, but doesn't slide around during set. Looks just like the comp bumpers, so they compliment the set nicely.”

“Can't beat Vulcan's kettlebells. The quality of these is amazing compared to the competition especially when you consider the very competitive pricing. You're getting a competition style kettlebell that stands the test of time for about the price of other company's rough-handled, variably-sized, rusted, and chipped kettlebells. You can't go wrong here.”

“Purchase was very easy and because I lived near the store I was able to take advantage of getting a little extra discount. Recieving: I did not receive the entire rack. I was not aware of this until I returned back to my house. I would say a quick layout prior to giving the product out would work. It was simple to get the missing pieces. I called and spoke with vulcan and was provided a email with shipping details of the missing pieces the same day. Assembly was straight forward. No directions were provided but none are needed. I put it together myself so it took a little longer getting my 2x8 lined out correctly. So far it has done good. The rig is very solid I lag screwed it into 3 3/4 pieces of plywood. I believe the 3x3 is a little over kill seeing it isn't very thick. A 2x3 would have done the job with a smaller insert hole thus providing more strength. For looks the 3x3 does look good though.”

Thanks for your review Bryan! Your pick up was a bit outside of our local pickup procedure to accommodate your schedule as an active duty service member . Our local pick up procedure is to place the order and then we notify the customer once the order is ready and a pick up time is scheduled. That allows us the time to double check everything which we did not have in your case. The missing piece was sent fed ex overnight as soon as we were informed by you that it was missing. The steel thickness is 11 gauge which is the industry standard. We would have to disagree that 2x3 steel with smaller holes is sturdier. We manufactured 2x3 rigs from 2011 - 2015 and we switched to 3x3 because it is that much sturdier and substantially more heavy.

“Steel bells are unbeatable in performance, durability, balance, and uniformity but they're all made exclusively for 1-Arm movements. Vulcan has changed the game. Extra wide handles for 2-hand swings. Booyah, eat your heart out Dan John.”

“Great bar for olympic lifts and their variations if you can't afford a bearing bar. It's much better than a general purpose bar. The knurling is not overly aggressive and the chrome finish feels pretty close to bare steel. The bar has a lot of whip and is quiet (compared to other bars) when dropped.”

“Black straps and silver snaps - need I say more? The velcro lining on the inside of the filler bags was a particularly nice touch that has ensured the contents of the bag stay put. No mess! I also second the company's recommendation of pea gravel for the bag filler. The outer shell is very durable and the handles well-constructed and comfortable. The bag material doesn't scratch skin up as much as other sandbag designs often do. The only change to the design that could really add to the overall appearance of the sandbag is to use the color Vulcan logo so it doesn't look so flat. Perhaps make it lager as well. Overall, I am very pleased with the Vulcan Sandbag because the company clearly paid attention to the details and addressed a lot design issues commonly found in other training sandbags. I highly recommend this product to anyone who is serious about their strength and fitness training!”

“First, let me start of by saying I have absolutely no prior experience with muscle floss bands. Also, this review applies only to the high compression band. I thought I would try the high compression band first since I felt I had enough muscle mass to need it, but I have been disappointed so far. Part of the problem for me is that it applies much more compression than I thought it would, and I feel like I lose a lot of movement ability with it on. I just can't wrap it loose enough to still stick and get the compression and movement I want. I feel like trying the regular compression band would have been much better to start with, the high compression band just doesn't have the flexibility for joints that I want. However, if you needed it to compress a large muscle like your quads without covering a joint, it does well at that. 5 stars for product quality. it seems durable and well made. Just the use of the product didn't meet my expectations for what I wanted to do with it. I will definitely try the regular compression band next.”

“I have lifted weight for almost thirty years and this is the finest bar I have ever used. I now own my own gym and am so pleased with it that I will be purchasing a second one in the near future. Thanks for building a high quality bar at a reasonable price.”

“Very happy with the weights and bar, exceeded my expectations. The bumper plates have a nice feel to them and are extremely accurate in weight. Olympic bar is nice and seems to be holding up good. The bar has some dull discoloration in spots, hoping it doesn't effect the quality in the long run. Thanks”

“This was a great purchase and well worth the backorder wait. Both of the plates and the bar feel extremely high quality and durable. I was able to add 30-40lbs to my clean and jerk just by using this equipment. The bar spins freely and the plate have very minimal bounce. Both are amazing products.”

“Extremely happy so far in the product. The alpha bumpers are definitely quieter and less bouncy than plates I've used in the past. My only complaint was on the logistical/customer service side of things. When I placed my order, I was not aware of any delay in shipping. I only became aware after going on the website to check on my order, no email notification from Vulcan. All said and done it was a 6.5 week process where some proactive communication and updates during the process would have been nice considering my credit card was charged immediately.”

Hi Ryan. Thanks for your review. The Alpha bumper plates were listed as available for pre -order only. All pre-orders are charged at the time of purchase as stated in the terms and policy on our website. The ETA (estimated time of arrival) is not a guaranteed date of course. There were email notifications sent out detailing that once bumper plates arrived it would take anywhere from 7-10 business days to ship out all pre -orders. We are glad that you are enjoying the plates. Thanks for your patience as we work toward keeping up with the demand for the Alpha Bumper Plates.
