These Power Blocks are rock solid! They are nearly indestructible. They're not the latest and greatest and they have a cage but they feel solid in my hand and there simple to adjust. I personally have zero issues with the rubber handles. I’m not sure if knurled handles are available for this model or not.

I picked up these 80lbs PowerBlocks off of Woot back in May 25’ for $480…It was a deal I couldn’t pass up. Over all the construction is absolutely solid. They are easy to change and have no moving parts to break. The cage feeling isn’t as bad as you would think it would be. The draw back on this particular model is that the hand area near my knuckles is a little tight for my huge hands (size 17 ring), so you maybe fine with that depending on your hand size. I have a set of PowerBlock Sport 50’s that fit me just perfect. I also checked out some new models and they had tones of room. I have no issues with the feeling of the rubber handles, knurled handles are available if that’s your jam.

You can absolutely get strong using any old D-handle. But with TrakHandle Sport Cable Handles, getting strong just feels better. I’m honestly not sure how these have been around for 13 years and are only recently getting the recognition they deserve. They’re easily the most fluid and unique D-handles on the market. The multi-axis movement makes cable exercises feel incredibly natural. Do you need them? No. Are they worth the $120 price tag? Hell yes.

Here’s a tighter, cleaner version that keeps your voice but reads more polished: You either love the Fringe Midas Gold bar or you don’t…I love it. The gold sleeves spin smoothly, have held up great, and still look brand new. The knurling is moderately aggressive, which is perfect for me. The Midas Rackable Curl Bar, however, is noticeably more aggressive. The Midas’ end cap game is one fire! At $365, it’s priced the same as the revered Rogue Ohio Bar. Because of that, I’d recommend keeping an eye out for sales if you’ve got your heart set on this bad boy.

Well it comes to bang for the buck Yes4All is often in the front of the line. Very well built bar holder, with UHMW where it needs to be. You can buy this one or a near identical Rogue version for twice the money.

The coolest looking pegboard out there! It took a bit to find the right hooks but it looks and works great. I did have to contact Fringe for a replacement after the first one sent arrive with loose hardware broken inside the box and bare steel scratches all along the back of the unit. Fringe made it right and sent out a replacement. I do wish it was a little bigger.

If I’m being honest…I haven’t taken these off the racks! What I can tell you is that these things look cool! I’m too old and broken to be playing around with bumper plates. I purchased them so my when my younger brother comes to town or if I’m training a young athlete I have them. They unboxed nicely with no flaws.

I picked these up for a very reasonable price off of Amazon. The are decent Handles for the price. The aluminum knurled handle is fairly passive but it works. For the price there a decent option.
