The Snode Magnetic Adder Weights let you increase resistance in precise 1.25 lb increments, which is a huge plus in helping dial in the perfect weight. Each set includes eight adders totaling 10 lbs. The magnets are strong and hold securely whether on the top of the weight stacks of my functional trainer or on the ends of my PowerBlocks. That said, they’re not perfect. The metal housing can lightly scratch your rack or plates if you slide the weight while removing it which is very likely. I also have one magnet come loose from its housing. However, when I contacted their overseas-based customer service, they offered either a discount or a replacement. I chose the replacement, and they made it right. Update: 3 more magnets have come out, for a total of 4 coming out. I will be calling tomorrow. Overall, these are a smart solution for micro-loading with solid magnetic strength, but the design could use some refinement. Update: A second magnet came unglued…not happy! We’ll see if their customer service can make it right.

These were perfect for my application! These Yes4All weight plate holders were an extremely fair price for well built product. They do what they are supposed to do. I can see them easily handling 3-45’s maybe even 4-45’s with no issue. The horns are tilted up,ward slightly. The Yes4All stickers will come of for a cleaners look.

I’ve got a lousy back! As a result I picked this up during the Black Friday sale and am still breaking it in. It arrived perfectly package and in flawless condition. I’m 6’5 320lbs. and the table feels really sturdy to me. I haven’t swung with weight added yet, but with just body weight I’m seeing/feeling very little movement. So far, it feels solid and confidence-inspiring.

The Yes4All Wooden Plyo Box was incredibly easy to assemble and feels rock solid. At 320 lbs, I don’t mess around with flimsy equipment, and this box doesn’t budge. I have zero concerns doing step-ups, climbs, or any controlled movements on it. It feels secure and stable under load. The pieces fit together like a puzzle, locking in snug and tight, which adds to the overall sturdiness. There are plenty of similar wooden boxes out there, but this is one of the most affordable options and it absolutely delivers on quality. If you’re looking for a solid plyo box without overpaying, this is a great value.

The Fringe Sport V2 Immortal Wall Ball definitely looks great, it has that rugged, premium aesthetic you expect from Fringe. That said, this may be my least favorite Fringe purchase so far. The construction appears durable, and I don’t question that it will hold up over time. However, the texture is much harder and less grippy than I anticipated. Despite its appearance, the surface feels surprisingly slick in hand. Considering the price point, I expected better feel and performance. While it seems built to last, I don’t think it delivers the value I was hoping for compared to other wall balls I’ve used.

I purchased these for my wife, daughter, and mother, ordering pairs of 5 lb, 8 lb, 10 lb, and 12 lb dumbbells through Amazon. Overall, they’re comfortable to use, have a good grip, and the color coding with bold numbering looks sharp and makes them easy to identify. That said, quality control seems inconsistent. One pair arrived with damaged neoprene, and it appeared to have left the factory that way. Additionally, after minimal use, the neon green 8 lb pair has already developed staining on one of the heads. I’m unsure whether it’s from internal discoloration or external contact, but it was disappointing to see so quickly. They feel good in hand and work well for light training, but based on my experience so far, I do have some concerns about their long-term durability.

Cool product from a small niche company. The nut is well made, easy to grab and makes a lockdown nut look cool! I used it to replace a standard nut on my leg roller. Brings a pop of color to the rack.

I’m 6’5 and 320lbs. and the size is just fine for me. It feels absolutely solid, as solid as any of the commercial benches I have at work, the difference is how how much easier the Nighthawk is to maneuver and store especially in my small one car garage gym. The one annoyance is that you can’t easily scooch the bench over by grabbing the latter adjusted seat that raises when lifted, so you have to grab the handle. Great value for a great bench.
