I used these to hold my loadable DB handles. They worked well in that regard and would work ok for barbells as long as you have the ceiling clearance for how high your rack is. Personally I don’t like to keep full length bars in these as it closed off a section of my rack.

These are built nice but personally I don’t love the design on this type of collar. Can be hard to close on some bars.

These are pretty standard. Not a lot of variance in bands available these days so find the ones that work best for your budget.

Is your gym really a gym if it’s not certified? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

This thing is just kind of meh. It does its job but no frills and no uhmw protection on the inside. Better 3rd party options these days.

This is the gold standard of deadlift bars. One of the most common you’ll find in competitions, priced reasonably well, aggressive knurling, and made in the USA. I do wish they’d tighten up the roll pin design, but can’t mess with a classic.

These things offer a huge value prop, adjustable dbs that don’t suck in a footprint that’s minimal with a nice build quality. The downsides here is that the design is still very utilitarian, the cage design sometimes gets in the way, and plates don’t always go in easy when unracking.

REP leads the way when it comes to benches. Their mix of quality and price is hard to beat. These days there are a lot of imitators copying their design, but REP continues to shine. Tbh is particular model offers a lot of versatility, some color choices, good pad material and a sturdy design.
