Other pro tip, I usually throw a 5 and 10 or two 10s on the inside and invert the heavy plates out. This also gives my knucks enough clearance.
- Design flaw: very little gap between plates & grip handles. Tight fit to get a grip, and then your knuckles may rub against the plates.
- The sleeves are a tad too large, and your plates may not fit. Several recent reviews post that bumper plates with tight tolerances do not fit on the bar.
- Some had poor weld quality and the bar actually broke off at the weld points under weight
- Some had poor material and the bar bent under weight
Basically, for about $65 this is a hit or miss. If you get a good one where welds are good, all your plates fit properly, and don't mind working around the design flaw - then you may like it.

I've had it for 2 years, and it's one of my favorite pieces of equipment in my gym. I'll usually start with the handles lower, and then switch to the higher handles at the end for a couple more good-form sets.
I specify better "for me" because, like some others here, I'll now only go to medium weight with regular barbell deadlifts, but very heavy with hex. For legs, I alternate between squats, hex lifts, and leg press, sometimes with dumbbell lunges at the end.
It's priced a bit higher right now, but goes on sale occasionally for less.
I ordered before reading and discovered this after assembling it. Oh well not messing with sending it back. It does work with most Cast Iron Weight Plates.
