JACKED STAND BY MICRO GAINZ WOODEN DEADLIFT JACK, USED FOR OLYMPIC BARBELLS

I bought the Jacked Stand because I wanted a good deadlift jack. It has worked great for me for years! Then, more recently, I got the REP x Kleva Genesis Jack when it was on sale. The promise of a lighter, more compact deadlift jack was appealing. Also, the hype! Oh, that hype got me feeling jealous! I must say that the Genesis Jack is much smaller and lighter than the Jacked Stand. But the Jacked Stand has a longer lever, which makes it slightly easier to use on a loaded bar. It also has a more comfortable, round, rubber-coated handle. Also, the width of both jacks is basically the same, but the deadlift cradle on the Genesis Jack is narrower than the foot. So the Jacked Stand has a larger cradle area, which makes it seem slightly more stable. Also, if you really want to travel with it, the Jacked Stand handle is removable, so it can be much smaller. Truth be told, both are great deadlift jacks and are significantly better than using one of those tiny rubber deadlift wedges or trying to roll a loaded barbell onto a 5 lbs plate on the floor. The Genesis Jack would still be better if you want to carry a deadlift jack in your gym bag and want the lightest one possible. It also does look cooler. Also, the Jacked Stand is made of wood that could wear down more easily over a long period of time. But from having both in my home gym, I keep reaching for the Jacked Stand because I think it is easier and more comfortable to use and slightly superior for my needs.
