    Whereas my bar broke out of the packaging under its own weight while I was carrying it down the basement stairs and punched a nice 2" hole in the paneling. Maybe they've gotten more thorough in the rogue shipping department over the last couple years.

    Why are we getting these tall tales instead of unboxing videos?

    No shit. Sounds like you guys need to post form checks of your unwrapping.

    Mine would have literally been the worst unboxing ever. Just me swearing at their fucking packaging for 15 minutes and cutting myself open once I finally get the tube open. If it was anything else I would have just sliced the cardboard off the end, but I was afraid of damaging the bar somehow.

    Actually, it sounds like the best unboxing ever.

    Sorry. If I ever buy a brand-new piece of barbell equipment again, I promise to unpack it in a hasty and unsafe way and video the process. I'll even play Johnny Cash in the background. But there's no way I'll do the bathtub thing, I have my dignity.

    Maybe when I order my rack I'll unbox it for you, and then you can see my bar at the same time!
