Nike missed the mark, if they were gonna come out with lifting equipment they should have done it during Covid. ALOT of people who knew nothing about lifting was just buying equipment and would have bought this off the name alone. I’m interested to see the sales in a year because the home gym market for the most part has got back to normal numbers.

I can tell you the way this equipment looks on screen it won’t hold up to college lifting. It’s a consumer bar for a consumer price. Plus, Nike doesn’t have a bar to fit requirements for powerlifting (fed.), CrossFit, or Oly lifting (fed.). 28mm makes no sense. This is a cheap bar made in China with the swoosh on it so consumers buy it.

The downstream effects of this is what is actually exciting, even if this bar isn’t. Speaking of bearings, coop do you know anything about the Eleiko bars from around 2021 starting to have the bearings lock up? It’s happened to a few higher level weightlifters in the US lately like Dylan cooper and Wes Kitts.

I think Nike is aiming for a different demographic, yes their die hard fans for sure, but also I think this is aimed at athletes who don't really care about the specs of strength equipment as much as we do. Athletes and lifters are fundamentally different: for athletes lifting is a means to an end, for them getting stronger/faster means being better at whatever sport they play. For lifters, lifting is both the means AND the end goal, lifting heavier and getting stronger means you will be better at the sport of lifting heavier and being stronger. All athletes care about the equipment they use for their sport, be it bats, gloves, footballs, cleats whatever it is they use and thus they want the best when it comes to that. For those of us whose sport is lifting, that means our barbells, dumbbells, benches, racks, lifting shoes, plates etc. That's why Nike is never going to come out with strength equipment that surpasses Rogue, REP, hell even Titan, because they don't NEED to, they just need equipment that is good enough so that athletes will buy, not Lifters. Simply put: a football player won't care if his flat bench is 17.75" but any of you watching these videos and reading this know exactly wtf is wrong with that .25".

False. I’m a cyclist who got in for lifting, purely to build strength to support my sport (as well as build functional strength as I get older). I bought a rogue Ohio bar because I wanted something that is tried and tested in the weight lifting industry, and also because as athletes we know why quality in a piece of sport equipment matters in the long run. In fact, the more likely scenario would be athletes trying to cheap out and buy some made in china bar, while trying to justify it as being a better investment than something like a rogue or rep bar. Today’s athletes are a weird bunch; trying to buy as cheap as possible in some weird opposition to the influx of covid athletes coming in with their wallets and making them feel poor in comparison.

I mean, Duracoat and Cerakote are really different. There are other companies out there making a similar product to Cerakote like KG coatings who sell a very similar product at a slightly lower price, but Duracoat at least the firearm finishes I have seen is just an epoxy paint. You can take it off with acetone even, Cerakote isn't like that, frustratingly you have to sandblast it usually to get it off of something once it is cured. I have used the air cured Cerakote and I have never seen anything that doesn't need a hardener be so hard to remove (though the H and V series oven cured coatings do use hardener IIRC). Not that there is anything wrong with an epoxy paint, that is how most appliances are done, and many people paint firearms and other heavy duty things with them, but it has never held up to chemicals or abrasion as well as an actual ceramic coating. In that barbell that uses both, I have to wonder, what exactly are they duracoating? Or are they saying some use Cerakote and some use Duracoat?

Honestly, if it gets more people lifting I’m all for it. From the design and specs it is clear these new Nike strength products are not intended for us already heavily into home gyms as they are inferior yet priced the same or higher than the industry standards (Rogue, Texas Power Bars, Rep, Titan etc). 28mm, needle bearings and medium passive knurling are Oly bar specs. The rack is pretty basic as well, as are the standard bumpers, change plates, dumbbells and bench. It is clear this equipment is designed for those that would normally buy their equipment at Dicks or Big 5. In that arena this would definitely look, feel and be the premium choice compared to Ethos, Powerline, Fitness Gear and the rest. Again if it gets more people lifting and into strength I’m all for it and would congratulate any of my friends on their purchase.

How about an update to the best powerbars available now. I'd like to see you get your hands on the Kabuki Oregon Power Bar.
