I have this set. Worked great for me.
2 notes to consider:
1. The rubber smells. Really smells. I have it outside, so it is not a problem.
2. It comes on a 3x6 pallet. You should have space for delivery guys
That's for regular cast iron plates. These are RUBBER! Not trying to be rude, but in for one!
Not bumper plates, though. These are the in-between zone. You don't want to drop them hard, but some people like them better than bare steel.

I'm kinda in the market for new barbell + plates for my garage gym (i have something to hold me over). I'm an average lifter so is this a good buy or keep saving for better plates down the road?

I would think yes. I am an average lifter myself. To me this deal gives you a total of 255 lbs of weight in plates alone (not including 45 lbs bar). What I've learned from here and other forums that if u were to buy weights a good deal is to pay $1/lbs. so it's not the best deal per se but if u are looking for something now, I'd consider it. The smell reviews are legit but if u wipe the plates down and leave it in the garage for a week, it goes away. I might buy it just for the weights lol .. I looked around and a pair of 45 lbs plates is around $140+ ..

Pretty good deal

If we're going with the $1/lb as the rule of thumb, the bar is an extra $105. Which isn't bad at all since the bar is actually better than average.

Good deal here. I think the lowest it got was $299.

I paid this much about 8-12 months ago.

One downside: I keep the weights and bar in the garage and I've already noticed a little rust on the bar (maybe because I don't wipe it down after every workout?? ).

The lowest I have seen it was when it was $399 in October. That is when I bought a set. I was waiting for it to drop to that price again so I could grab another set. This is even better! Thanks OP!

Looks like $50 for shipping. Not a deal-breaker, but def a bummer.

I've just been using dumbbells with an adjustable bench - is there a certain rack I should be looking for if I purchased this?

Do you feel a bar adds a lot more/better lifting options

Bar is good for squats since it's hard to go heavy with dumbbells (your grip fails before your legs do usually)

Otherwise, I don't use them much compared to my dumbbells. It's a lot quicker to bench with dumbbells, and I like having the separate control. But benching with a bar is nice especially at higher weights because it's safer (assuming your rack is setup properly)

Any rack should do honestly, I have the Rep Fitness PR-1100 but I believe there is a budget brand model that looks similar you can get on amazon for less ~$300

I bought that set last year when it was $150 off for Costco credit card holders. Very happy with it, but the rubber smells for a few months.
It's not the best bar but for the price you can't complain. Great set if you're starting to lift.
