They are a white label product that Bells of Steel, DMoose and several other companies labeled as their own. These work well are magnetic and hang nicely on the rack. They are easy to slide on the bar and lock with minimal effort. We don’t dead lift or power clean so I couldn’t honestly tell you how they drop test. However, if I knew then what I know now I probably would have picked up the Keppi Barbell collars instead.

I picked up two of these, one for home and one for my gym at school to attack d-handles and my knock-off Prime handles. It’s works fine for my garage gym, it is kind of long and a little cumbersome and despite its many holes I use two holes. Despite only being at the school gym the attachment bar has received many slight bends, so it’s good for the home gym but not so good for knuckle head teenagers.

It’s the old school Double D-Handle in every comma gym in America. I actually did pick this Yes4All handle to use for cable rows, I actually got it to use for goblet squats and it works we. The fit and finish on the handle was just as you hoped it would be, it’s not anything new and special…it’s just a solid no frills tool to do work.

I picked up these Mad Spotter knock-offs for around $25 off of Amazon. I purchased them to eliminate some of the shoulder pain I get when moving my dumbbells in place to press them. I picked them up to use with my traditional dumbbells at my work gym, unfortunately they don't work well with my adjustable PowerBlocks. They do take a minute to get used to but work fairly well though. I do have extremely large hands so the spotters were a bit tight on my hand but still usable. The worst part of using them was carrying the dumbells to the other side of the gym where the bench racks are.

I purchased the Rage Fitness 15lbs. 6ft Aluminum Olympic Bar for my daughter who is just started lifting, and I’m really impressed with the quality of it. Most impressive is that it has a 300lbs weight capacity. To be honest I find my self using it often for things like curl land mind work. It’s lighter and shorter than a traditional Olympic bar making it easy to move about my low ceiling tight one car garage gym. The knurling is pretty passive but sufficient especially for newer lifter and those who aren’t looking for a Volcano triple XXX aggressive grip. The sleeves even have good movement. This things impressive all the way around.

These things are great, versatile and inexpensive! I picked this up off of Amazon for under $20. The strap is made of sturdy material with soft padding on the inside of the handles. It’s great for tricep work, ab crunches face pulls and more. The one con is the the soft padded material isn’t really cleanable but for a home it should be no big deal.

The bougiest landmine currently on the market. The unit moves fluidly. It’s attaches effortlessly to the rack with easy to tighten nob’s (which could be knurled to further increase it’s level bougieness. Barbells are protected by a polycarbonate sleeve in addition to a rubber/foam pillow to soften the blow upon insertion. The Adroit 2.0 Landmine also conveniently has a magnet to keep it tucked conveniently out of the way.
