Bar Fit For a King or Gimmick? Fringe Sport Midas Revenge Bar Review

- httpsIs this bar fit for a king or is that gold colored coating a gimmick? In this video we review and abuse the Midas Revenge Bar from Fringe Sport AFTER we fix a pretty big issue it had out of the box. I've had this thing and used it for weeks but I wanted to be thorough... so I beat it up some. I'm sorry! But it had to be done to really know if this was worth your money.
The Midas Revenge bar has Titanium Nitride sleeves and fits somewhere between a power bar and general purpose bar. I'll be honest I didn't have high expectations but my findings were a bit unexpected.

So much going on in this video... Let us know your favorite part!
Gluck were'd you get that horizontal single bar rack hanging high on the wall?
That's a Rogue (though I've done the same thing with Titan) 3 bar gun rack cut down to singles.
I just bought a rogue SS bar and have no where to it as its almost 8' long
@@actionjackson9121 if you're handy it's pretty easy to do otherwise people use garage hooks from Home Depot or Amazon.
The creation of the strangest, most entertaining knurling rating system of all time.
Great review, Gluck! And shoutout to Fringe for correcting the issue.
And being upfront and honest!
@@markandrewkoval8920 Thanks. I wanted to know myself and that's what I'd want someone else to do if I was watching so it seemed like the right thing to do.
Loved the intro short film. Can't wait for the full length movie release! Also, the cat tongue rating scale is fantastic. We need to push this for the industry standard.
Haha thanks! Wynie writes most of the intros and actually came up with the rough idea for the cat tongue. I just helped bring them over the top 😇
Agreed with their warranty. I recently had my garage flood. I had my wonderbar and one of my 2 fringe loadable dumbbells stored but one dumbbell handle was on the floor. I was notified by my wife at work and send an email too fringe simply asking the best way to dry it out/de-rust if need be. I got a short reply that said they will connect me with their warranty department. I never heard from them after but didn't care as when I came home it was perfectly fine and functional after a quick dry. 2 days later I received a new replacement for that handle without so much as them asking for a picture of the other one. Truly the best customer service I've ever received.
Love it! Thanks for the review, well done as always. This bar looks absolutely sick and a great value to boot.
It did jump in price since release but nothing seems to be going down lately 😰
Glad they are addressing this issue! First saw this problem from Joel at As Many Reviews As Possible and worried everyone else was going to receive the same problem.
We probably all did. Yeah he beat me and he got his video out before me. I delayed mine to see whee happened but he makes great content!
@@GlucksGym I like listening to y’all so doesn’t matter who “puts out” first 😉
@Brandon T. Luong probably for affiliates and views it matters but that's not really my goal (not that I'd complain)
Great review. And I’m very impressed with the 315lb deadlift drops. Strong like bull!
That poor bar went through more than that too.
Nice intro... 2:57 WTF don't want to see that movie ouch... And As Many Reviews as Possible had the same exact problem but glad they acknowledge and are remedying it. So 2 of 3 gym channels I watched a review for had the same issue...
Hmmm interesting. I wonder why the third didn't find it 🧐 haha the movie is definitely unique.
Nice review! I'm eager to see how the BoS industrial bars will compare (finish-wise).
Been trying to get my hands on those!
the skit at the beginning lol with wyinie lol wow lol you both are very fun lol
Ooh wee, that's some top notch customer service response from Fringesport.
A good company makes things right
Great video Gluck! Underrated
😍 Thank you!
Solid breakdown.... Not sure if the color scheme goes with my feng shui
With you I'm not sure of much 🤣 thanks for always supporting us!
Thanks for the video. Great review of the bar. While it's unique and held up to your abuse, it's just too flashy for my home gym.
Haha that's ok. Glad you enjoyed the video at least
The Teeth reference killed me.
😂 We were just searching for b movies the other night and that one kept popping up!
Love that you went above and beyond to figure out the spin issues. Glad it’s fixable. Great review, but not as many innuendos for my preference, or are they only in the onlyfans review. 👍🏽😂🤔
Haha I figured I went overboard awhile on innuendos so I relaxed a bit but maybe you missed a few 😇
Awesome review as always Gluck. Very thorough and entertaining. I laughed, I cried, I learned…..also, great find on the internal rust. I’ve never seen a review that looked into the issues in a bar like that.
Thank you! I try to make your videos. If I saw them I would feel they were thorough and entertaining and gave me everything I needed to make an educated decision. A few people have pointed out that AMRAP found the same issue, he makes good stuff.
@@GlucksGym I really appreciate you give credit and support to other you tubers as well. Keep up the amazing work man!
@@brandong1986 trying to do my part. Hopefully we can do more as we get bigger
No doubt its a pretty bar and also great in depth review brother, taking it apart was a step above.
Thanks! What else could you do? I can't recommend it without knowing because I'd feel pretty terrible if I had been less thorough in this situation
@@GlucksGym why I was already subbed but now hit the notification bell, thanks brother G.
That opening... thought I was watching Casino Royale for a minute there.
Haha that's another Wynie original
I work six blocks away from Fringe. They always have great products available
Glad to hear it. Man I'd be bankrupt
Ok that intro made me laugh 😂 harder than the sick bike jump video!
Yessss! New comment time?! That was all Wynie and I was like idk but we'll try it and well there it is.
I don’t know 🤷🏻♂️ I spoke too soon now I am gonna be having the girl in “Teeth” nightmares
Hahaha I did change it to cat tongues!
i know everyone in the comments section was worried sick- but don't worry ya boi is alive!
So many people DMd me
That color is just beautiful 😍
Honestly it's kinda growing on me
Same! It looks like a really dark/ tinted gold
Is not super bright but maybe my bad lighting messes with the look
Have you tried any bars by Texas Power Bars? We got a Starting Strength bar for our home gym and love it.
Yep. Lot of great companies out there!
Sweet! Just when I think I’m done they come out with something better! 😂
A home gym is an addiction 😇
Ordered one using your link. On sale today 15% off. Fringe has a big sale today.
I'm not sure I get anything when it's on sale (idk my Fringe affiliate really gets me almost nothing) but I do appreciate the thought and attempt. Posted that sale on our IG yesterday and it's had some crazy deals!
Dang. I’m hoping to order a Rep power rack in the future. Will use your link when the time comes.
Yes! That one seems to work haha. Either way I'm happy to have helped!
Like that under cheeky shot 🤣
You have a pretty smooth shaft bro 👍
I've always wanted someone to tell me that 😉
Good video as always!
Thank you!
All your content is good. Nice gym. Videos are clear and to the point and not overly long where viewers lose interest. Been a subscriber for a while now. Always look forward to new content. Id go as far as saying i would have a beer with you but since health is #1, im better off saying Id lift some weight with you!
@@cesarb3 haha that would be cool to be able to do a workout with a sub video! Thanks for the support and kind words
Yo I need this shirt … great review Gluck
I feel like I wore 3 shirts in this one 😂
@@GlucksGym my fault meant the NES powerlifting
That's Massenomics, they have a ton of great merch
Sold and used the link. Cheers.
My kind person! thanks!
I think the cat tongue eating system is a keeper. Maybe need a few more levels in there for more variation. My cat Ollie is probably somewhere between the Ohio bar and Power Bar if that helps refine the system 😂
Titanium nitride is also used as gun bolt coating
4:35 I wasn't intrssted in taking a bar apart but after hearing you threaten me with a good time I'm going to have to go watch it.
Hahaha I was honest. I might've went too far with it
lol that intro. that's the kind of dad jokes that makes your videos worth watching!
Wynie wrote it 🤣
@@GlucksGym youre not going to believe it but I kind of saw it coming AND I still laughed lol
Hahaha you share a wavelength with Wyn. She wanted to turn gold afterward and there was more to it but these videos already take so much time haha
@@GlucksGym dang. That wouldve been an awesome austin powers reference
@@dinozand I wanted to do goldeneye since it's not actually about gold and thought about gold member but I wasn't that quickest out with my review
Where did u get ur mirrors?
The one behind the rack I got used. The others are Glaical Bay from Home Depot (or maybe Lowes?) and they're in one of these videos
Where did you buy that power lifting shirt
That's probably my massenomics shirt
@@GlucksGym do you have a link?
@@Mnydnz I don't think YT allows me to comment links so search Massenomics and it's on their site, they're a pretty big podcast so it's very easy to find.
This guy loves his bars
Haha can you have too many?!
@@GlucksGym no 😂😂 I’d like to get a few more when we move!!! These are super helpful bro . Good work!!
Thanks as always! #1 supporter right there
Watch, 6 months from now Kabuki comes out with a cat tongue rating system for knurl hahaha
I need to copyright now! Stamp it people! THIS IS MINE
Gotta get me a 2 cat tongue bar next....
Some say 2 cat tongues is where it's at
Fringe is having a moving sale bows the time to get one if you’re contemplating it
Yep! Posted it on my IG earlier!
@@GlucksGym I just ordered my first barbell and set of their savage bumper plates yesterday and I am so excited 😆
Nice! Which bar?
@@GlucksGym I went with the Midas bar, figured I would start with style
Guess I could've guessed that based on the video haha
Classic Gluck’s
😁
Love your videos, but no center knurl, not a barbell. JMFRO
So you had the exact same problem as Joel from AMRAP :p
Great reviewers find the same things I guess! He has don't great content
2:55 God damn it Gluck 🤣🤣 that movie was horrifying to watch as a pre-pubicent teen
Hahaha love b movies
what just happened?
This or a boneyard bar?
Like is the "this will be your first and last bar" all talk or trueish for general purpose benching and occasional deadlifting
@@jhonnykankuro I think you're referring to their site where it says was your first bar ever your last (or something like that), I can see someone using this as their only bar but if you do build enough at home longterm you'll end up with others. Depends on your goals and lifting style but it's a nice bar. For general stuff it's great but I like center knurls for squat and a like more aggressive knruls for DL. I also would like more spin if I was into oly lifts. As a general bar, it's pretty good.
@@GlucksGym thanks for your response I've thought it through and will be going with a Ohio power bar I bench 26% squat 38% DL 38% if you have a better suggestion I'm all ears 👂
@@jhonnykankuro is an amazing power bar (Ohio) so long as you're not doing stuff where that center knurl will be hitting your chest, that's a lot of fun.
Just bought this bar. Thought the rust problem was fixed. (It’s not!!!!) Do NOT buy this bar. Still a rusted piece of crap that rattles like a spray can.
When did you order it? I can definitely pass this along and see what's going on. I'm not sure what power I really hold but I can at least check in based on a few people I've spoken to in the company.
@@GlucksGym ups delivered it to me on Thursday 12/2/21 I took delivery. Their super helpful; unfortunately I’m going to return it. The tolerances are the main problem. All the noise it makes is too much to deal with. I can fix the rust.
@@wakeboardnsdm6253 odd mine has no noise but I'm definitely going to have to keep searching and seeing if people are still have issues
@@GlucksGym yeah my first message was me just blowing off steam so probably should of been nicer. But yeah at first I thought it was just then end caps making noise, which they did. So I took the end caps out and spun it. Still rattled like a spray can. And the sleeves have about 1/4 inch of back and forth play.
@@wakeboardnsdm6253 those caps are load but that's because of their build and I really like them. The sleeves shouldn't have much play though...
