Mirafit are good quality for the money. All my bars are Rogue but I have quite a few other bits from Mirafit including dumbbells.

For general weightlifting applications bushings bars will do the job, and require less maintenance. The only issue i usually see with low quality bars is that after a couple of months, the collars tend to get stiffer and stiffer and stiffer to the point that get almost locked up and refuse to rotate and thats not good. Also they tend to have inconsistent gnarling, meaning way too sharp or not enough.

Anyone into training grip?
Recently bought a RGT handle from Grip Genie. The quality is far superior to the Rolling Thunder handles.

I like that.
Yeah, grip is important to me, because if I am playing a large fish, standing up, with just a fishing belt (no chest harness attachment to the rod or reel), the first thing to fail is my grip.
What my PT, Brett has me doing to improve my grip strength, is using these on barbells, dumbbells and kettle bells for some of my exercises. I will use them at home when I am not doing lighter weights, and do large weights without them, when Brett is standing over me.
At some point, I will get the even fatter ones too....

I've started conditioning hands and fingers again for bouldering:
Right now I am having difficulties with 60kg and would like to get up to my bodyweight of 80kg.

Sorry for the horrible quality ...
It's a still from a rainy day carport training session video. In order to train grip strength, I dead hang from a kitchen towel. I prefer to lock the shoulder but my arms give in after a few seconds and I just hang straight.
