Yeah, maybe. The spec’ed weight with the provided collars (not pictured) is 19.25 lbs, so I was figuring 19 without those—I use others that are quick-release. Whatever… It’s decent construction and a pretty solid bar overall, but I guess that’s what I get with an inexpensive no-name brand from Amazon!
This is a fantastic idea!
Use this for farmers walk with this in one had and a sandbag on the shoulder on the other side like a lumberjack walk. You are welcome.
Why have I never heard of this before!?!
Awesome.

I have a tricep bar like that. I ordered mine from Titan, it’s almost 25lbs
Nice!
I ordered it on a whim because I had an Amazon gift card from work, but now that I have it, I’m thinking it’s going to be more versatile than I anticipated!

Felt slow, was slow.
Closer to the earlier work than I would’ve liked, but the alternative was to walk at like 10:00 tonight—or just skip it altogether—so I think I made the wise choice here.

Not feeling 100%: Went to bed clammy, slept poorly, woke up clammy, and I have a massive headache, right at the base of my neck.
This work went really well, under the circumstances. The last 3 sets of squats were fast but controlled, and strong. Except for the very last rep: I got ahead of myself, lost my brace, and had to work to recover my focus as I finished the set.
Rest of it went well, too, and my headache might be subsiding—I was worried the neck extensions might be a bad idea, but I think they actually helped.
I’ll try to get a walk in later, but there’s other stuff to get done before I can rest, so… As @DJoftheJungle1 says

Still not 100%: Woke up queasy this morning. Guts are fine, I have an appetite and food is tasty, but something’s just a little off still.
Crushed this work in spite of that. Really put all I had in me into this, and I’m pleased with the result: I had nothing left by the time I got around to the shuttle runs, and it shows because I struggled to get 20 rounds in before the buzzer.
Plan is to walk after dinner and call it a day!
Edit: I tried those cable shrugs after @shaneinga (I think?) posted a video in his log. I’m gonna need to tweak my setup and the weights a bit, but after just one attempt, I can tell they hit differently than DB or BB variations!
Good to hear you tried them out. 
@shaneinga - Yeah, they’re pretty cool—I appreciate your post. I need to get more lean and not rush them, but as I say: They definitely hit differently!

Exhausted but happy again today—though I didn’t have quite the same, “Oompf!” as I did on Friday: Struggled through the last several rounds of that tabata work, and I had 16 seconds on the timer when I finished round 11 with the sled, but I just watched the seconds tick by with my chest heaving like a freight train.

I’ve really been trying to focus on giving it everything I’ve got for the hour or so that I’m in the weight room, and today: I crushed it! Felt strong from start-to-finish.
I’ll admit, the first rep of 285 caught me by surprise—breaking the floor left a bit to be desired—but beyond that, the deadlifts were lighter than last week and they FELT lighter than last week. Win!
Super-happy to get 3 sets of 10 unbroken reps on the pull-ups: I think my strength is returning and my body weight is dropping, because I didn’t expect that to happen today. The rest of the assistance turned out to be some kind of yoke/shoulder blaster, but it served it’s purpose: I’m dead and I’m pumped!
