I fell for the advertisements. It’s a great idea, but just a poor quality product for the expensive price tag. The attachment to the rack is solid and well built, but can damage rack from the metal-to-metal tightening of the rear screw. The pulleys themselves are plastic, rough, cheap, and shallow. Couldn’t believe they would use such cheap pulleys for hundreds of dollars. Not to mention, the pulleys will not stay at a fixed angle and are constantly wiggling around causing the cable to get caught and come off the pulley track. Extremely annoying and not functional. Instead, I got $40 aluminum pulleys on Amazon to try and convince myself that I could make it work. I ended up dropping the Bulley Pulleys altogether and solely using the Amazon aluminum pulleys hanging from $5 towing straps. Buy again? Sure, if it was $50 or less. Otherwise, feels like I got scammed.

I used this weight pin with some DIY pulleys I attached to my rack. It works great, never had any concern about it breaking. The cheapest part of it is the soft padding on the bottom that makes contact with the ground. It might peel off over time if it’s dragged a lot but that shouldn’t be common. Always been a fan of cheap Yes4All stuff on Amazon on certain things. Quality is always good enough for the value.

I picked these up back in the day in my old house for flooring on top of carpet inside of a guest bedroom. Was renting and didn’t want to invest into anything too permanent. Now they’re used for my kids playroom. Pros: Soft and lots of cushion Comfortable to lay on Cons: Shift around when used Some vary in thickness, causing uneven surface Indentations left from heavy equipment Buy again? No, there’s definitely better options.

The most basic foam roller. Save money here to spend elsewhere.

Most used collars due to ease of use, accessibility (magnetic), and strength. You can choose to lock in 1 or both latches depending on the lift. Plus they don’t scratch the bar if you care about that stuff. The only time I use other collars is when I need them thinner on my short bar. These are on the thicker side. Anything this good and cheap that is available on Amazon is a huge win in my books, assuming you have Prime.

Another Amazon buy that does exactly what it needs to do. Cheap, accessible, easily replaceable. To me, bands are bands. Eventually they will all break. Just get a decent cheap one like this and replace every few years as needed.

This bar is VERY well built like most Rogue stuff. It’s the shortest rackable short bar on the market that I could find. 30 lbs power bar, Knurling is sharp and aggressive, silent when dropped, don’t think there’s a better short bar. Most used bar for all lifts under 300. I can fit max 3 bumper plates on the bar, so it maxes out around ~300-330 lbs with standard bumpers due to sleeve length. Definitely need steel/iron if going heavier. Biggest downside is the cost. It is pretty pricey for what it is, but it’s also Rogue. I spent 2x more on this bar than my Rep colorado short bar (warehouse sale). It does, however, provide me and my wife to have more peace of mind in our tight space and makes maneuvering around the rack way easier.

These wedges work, don’t slip when holding weight, stack, and have 2 different angle options. Decent budget option for cheap. Only gripe is that it’s made of same material as a foam roller so it’s super lightweight. Great for storage, but moves when there is no weight on them so you kind of have to reposition them after every set.
