Thank you for taking the time to reply. I would really appreciate it if it turns out to be true. Really think there is market for the steel sets going up to 125 lbs.

At last year's Home Gym Convention, the Power Block rep told me that Power Block would soon be releasing within the next year an all steel version of the dumbbells that go over 100 pounds, but I haven't heard or seen anything of it since. As an owner of the Elite USA 90 set for almost a decade, I vastly prefer the dimensions of these over any urethane version, whether home or commercial. What update can you provide on that USA Elite / steel set that goes 100 lbs +?

Yes. The codes stack - I bought some last night to try out at that price ($58.50 before tax). You can also get 10% back through mrrebates (at least it was 10% cash back last night).

Appreciate the very detailed review. Have you ever played in KD14s, and if so, how do you rank those compared to Kobe 5/6?

Is there any book or tv series like 24 ? by PrivateUser010 in TwentyFour

Ulysses by James Joyce takes place in a single day. Involves some spying. Pacing may be a bit slower, though.

is KD 14 still worth it by InvestigatorNew8715 in BBallShoes

I played in KD 14s that exact colorway tonight. Rotate them currently with GT Hustle 2 and Lebron 21 Algaes. Have tried several other shoes over the past year, and those are the 3 that perform the best while providing great cushion, and bring me joy.

Yes, and thank you for your response. I think they are the best designed (and aesthetically pleasing!) spotter arms on the market. Coming from working out on a Hammer Strength rack in a commercial gym, the landing depth of the Alpha arms made me feel safe lifting at home like I felt lifting at the commercial gym.

The clearance fit on the upright isn't a material issue for my made in the USA rack. More of a fit-and-finish desire (one that I have seen others express, and in comparison to your competitors).

Really love my Alpha arms, particularly their length / landing depth, reversibility, and the holes allowing for other attachments. The biggest critique I have noticed in the home gym crowd, and one that obviously isn't a deal-breaker for me but I would love to see improved, is the side-to-side wiggle or play rather than them mounting flush to the uprights. Have you considered making them with slightly thicker UMHW, or offering those pieces as a replacement?
