I received my SS Yoke Bar several weeks ago. I love the bar and was excited to get it. My original review upon receiving the bar would have been "This is more beast than bar - like a steel leviathan forged in dragon flame beneath the misty mountains." I bought the bar from EliteFTS because - made in USA, known for quality, and I've received more than the cost of the bar in free coaching from Dave Tate's online content.
HOWEVER, in less than nine workouts, the coating is flaking off. Both the clear and the black coating on the right sleeve has flaked off. Customer service said this is normal. It seems that the cause is poor adhesion due to an improperly prepared surface not a normal condition (especially since it's predominant on one sleeve while the other is expected wear). I'm still grateful to EliteFTS for the education it has provided, however, I am now very hesitant to purchase future equipment from Elite FTS.
