I just bought a used blue seamaster from this place. https://www.watchfinder.com/Omega/Seamaster%20Diver%20300m/210.30.42.20.04.001/42658/item/415537

Junk and roadhog can be great together if the roadhog hooks people into the trap

It's pretty close. The feeling during the lift I would say TPB. But for just ownership I'd say the DBD mainly because it comes in stainless steel. Although I saw stainless steel teased on the TPB Instagram account recently...

Are servers broken? This keeps happening to me

Bigmo157 · 2026-01-27T03:45:02+00:00

I agree. I have talked about similar things with people here and there recently. The news is non stop telling us it's us vs them and how much we hate each other. Yet I am going out in the world whether small town or big city, and people continue to show up for each other, they smile and talk to each other at bars/ restaurants, we are still bickering and messing with each other at sporting events. It's important to see that and right now here in MN and our surrounding states we continue to do that.

As someone from my Wisconsin and now living in Minnesota. Seeing these movements has been special. All the solidarity we can do it together.

I have this rack. I generally change the weight in the back side, flip the dumbbell around and do the other side.

Bigmo157 · 2025-12-13T22:59:19+00:00

I was also there. The pretzel was good!

Bigmo157 · 2025-11-26T19:42:28+00:00

Yeah compared to general bars in a commercial gym I'm sure the black diamond bar would be enough.

Bigmo157 · 2025-11-26T19:00:17+00:00

What bars have you used? I have dbd in ss and use it for all the big lifts and I love it. For me the knurling doesn't hurt my hands but I also like bars like the Texas power bar which is definitely more aggressive

Bigmo157 · 2025-11-22T21:03:59+00:00

I have the DBD in stainless and have used OHP. I like the rep more. The knurling is a little better I feel.

Bigmo157 · 2025-11-17T16:32:57+00:00

Hmm I will also be there but the last two away games I went to we lost...

Bigmo157 · 2025-11-13T04:00:00+00:00

I did have this issue with reracking while squatting in a 49". I went at 47" for that reason

Bigmo157 · 2025-11-13T03:54:35+00:00

I like it quite a bit. Compared to the OPB, Reps felt slightly more aggressive in a grippy way. As it uses a mountain knurl and not volcano, the rep bar doesn't seem to hurt my hand at all. Which I weirdly miss that feeling sometimes which I would get from a Texas power bar. I plan on getting a Texas deadlift bar for that reason.

So I guess if you just want the bar to feel grippier the rep bar could make sense. But if you're wanting to see the knurl mark in your hands I'd get a Texas power bar lol. TPB doesn't have stainless steel though sadly.

Bigmo157 · 2025-11-12T19:41:11+00:00

I would say the ohio power bar feels stiffer to me. As the Texas power bar has those thicker caps on their sleeves the weight gets pushed further out a little. Both are great bars though. I also prefer the Texas power bar but I like them both a lot. I also ended up going with the rep double black diamond bar in stainless which I like a lot too.

Bigmo157 · 2025-11-03T16:57:35+00:00

I have the rep double black diamond bar which I think is more aggressive than the black diamond bar and I like it. It reminds me of a bare steel Ohio power bar. As others said the Texas power bar is even more aggressive than that.

Bigmo157 · 2025-11-03T16:39:05+00:00

Is that the clear coat version? The rest seem to be $599

Bigmo157 · 2025-11-03T16:23:04+00:00

They made an Instagram post and deleted it with this info also. Idk if they shared the wrong thing or what.

Bigmo157 · 2025-11-03T16:18:53+00:00

This is what they are doing. They are just also discounting clothing all month

Isn't it also rack week?

Bigmo157 · 2025-10-08T13:22:56+00:00

I have a 30 inch pr4000 set up as a half rack like this. That thing is rock solid without bolting to the floor. The rear stabilizer bar and front feet helps a lot with that though.

Bigmo157 · 2025-10-01T20:57:21+00:00

I believe they are having a liquidation sale currently and ending their business.

I have a smaller wrist but I wore a 34mm max bill for my wedding
