I get the idea with their dumbbells, but if this only goes to 80# (before any add-ons) I would just stick with dumbbells. IMO the number one reason to do barbell work is the ability to use heavier weights, which this doesn't accomplish. Anything from the ground will be at an odd height, too.
I'm sure there's an esoteric market for it. But at all the commercial gyms I've ever visited, those racks of pre-made 40/50/60+ barbells were always collecting dust.

Is there still a real advantage over a normal weight set once the bar is already that big?
You're better off buying one of those 300lb barbell sets that go for $300-400 during the holidays. 80lbs is going to be very limiting unless all you're doing is curls and other direct arm work at high reps.

Great point! I try to convince my son of this, but the allure of barbell benching is hard for a teen to overcome I guess. Separately wielding a large amount of weight with one arm is more important imo, at least up to the point where it is not impeding your chest progress.

I'm a 25-year lifting "hobbyist" and would definitely steer him towards dumbbells, at least at first. I started showing off with barbell bench as a teen and had rotator cuff problems pretty quickly (teen boys don't understand "start slow"). Dumbbells are much more forgiving and more practical to real life…and IMO, if you're using too much weight, you'll know right away and it's harder to accidentally overdo it.
Plus no rack required, just a bench.

Not trying to shit on you, but sounds like poor bench form and not about going heavy. Retracting the scapula and tucking elbows instead of flaring them should avoid rotator cuff issues.
That brings up a good point though... form is extremely important, so watch those YouTube videos. Definitely encourage those teenagers to also.
