Nabbed this bad boy after the most recent restock. The 8-bit gamer aesthetic fits in well with the nerdy vibe I'm trying to cultivate in my space. It's also priced quite well based on its size and quality.

Very high quality banner that perfectly fills up this section directly above my garage door. I patiently await the launch of the Massanomics line of beverages with the same branding as those pictured in this banner.

This Double D Handle by Yes4All is a surprisingly decent and very affordable option. I have put mine through its paces and have been relatively pleased with its build quality and performance. Make no mistake--this thing is not even the slightest bit fancy, but if you are on a budget and have limited options, you could do a lot worse than this.

This is a great power bar that offers the usual quality that Rogue is known for at a reasonable price. I was lucky enough to have regular access to Ohio Power bars at my last gym, and they all held up really well to the day-to-day abuse from weekend warriors and world record holders alike. You won't be disappointed if you buy this bar and it will likely last you a lifetime, even with minimal maintenance.

My all time favorite power bar. I was fortunate enough to have access to a variety of top notch equipment at my last gym, and as far as barbells go, the TPB was my favorite. I don't have one in my home gym yet, but it's on my wishlist

Cost effective flowering for horsing heavy loads. There tends to be some variance in the deminsions, but they more or less fit together well without any alterations. Using gorilla tape to hold them together is not necessary, but it keeps them from drifting apart, fills in gaps, and gives the mats a more uniform appearance. At the end of the day, they are inexpensive and do a great job of protecting your foundation and equipment.

I bought this handle on sale to use with my Mammoth belt squat with dual weight horns, and it works fine. It's too short to reach when mounted to the upright, but it can be attached directly to the lever and used like a handle bar. That said, it is not a snug fit (which is to be expected, since the attachment is designed for a 3" x 3", and the lever on the Mammoth is 3" x 2", but you can definitely shim it for added stabilty ), so best that in mind if you pan to use it for this purpose. The major issue is that and the build quality is mediocre at best. The shaft and handle are held together by a screw rather than welding, and it comes loose after repeated use. Additionally, the steel is not very heavy duty, and the handle has no knurling. Overall, I think it's a viable option if you're interested in a less expensive alternative to the Porter Phys Ed Hellbox--though, you should probably just go with the Hellbox if you haven't already invested in the dual weight horns upgrade.

These are high quality safeties that offer superior barbell protection and greater durability than standard pin pipe safeties. They also have the benefit of integrating well with accessories, like Rep's leg rollers and utility bench. That said, if you don't see yourself upgrading to those accessories and just want the enhances protection, strap safeties might be worth considering
