✅ THE MIDAS REVENGE BAR: garagegymreviews.co/FringeMidas
The Fringe Sport Midas Revenge Barbell is one of the most aesthetically pleasing bars released in some time. It features 'Gold Titanium' on the sleeves (yes, the same material as used in Iron Man's suit) and is paired with black Cerakote on the shaft.
Although it's beautiful, the bigger question is whether it's durable. So, to test this, I dropped it overhead without any weight directly on a concrete floor. Quite the cringe-worthy experience, but somebody needs to do it. For science.
In addition to dropping, we do a Fringe Sport Midas Revenge Bar review and compare it to others on the market.

Jujimufu will love these barbells for his gym.

@HeathWatts 2 года назад

Your other viewers might be clear about this point, but it's not a titanium gold alloy on the bar. Real titanium gold is β-Ti₃Au (where Ti is titanium and Au is gold). A titanium gold alloy barbell would be very expensive. According to Midas, they are using gold tinted titanium, which is titanium nitride (TiN, where N is nitrogen). From the FAQ on Midas: Are the sleeves real gold? No, the sleeves are coated in gold colored titanium. Titanium is 40% lighter than high-strength steel, but is just as strong. This means the sleeves on the Midas’ Revenge Bar are ultra-durable and resistant against oxidation. Unfortunately, real gold is super soft and easily bends, so it would be terrible for a coating on a barbell built for super performance.

@BasementBrandon 2 года назад

If you haven't seen AMRAP's video on this check it out. His sleeves didn't spin well so he took off the sleeves and they were all rusted out. Once he cleaned it up it spun much better. I also believe he's said his sleeves have shown wear with use.

Midas Revenge is a proper name for this bar, as when you pop off the golden sleeves to check on the bad spin, you witness all the rust on the inner sleeve.

Super short version for you. Bearings allow for great spin, which you want primarily for the Olympic lifts. Quality bushings still spin a fair bit, but not nearly as much. This is usually nice for powerlifting, where you don't necessarily want the plates moving too much. Hope this helped!
