After reading all of the glowing reviews, I figured I would enjoy a pair of these for deadlifting. And I do- they lock onto the bar really well and are obviously stronger than I will ever need. The other advantage that I had not considered is the twist-on method is much easier for my 12-year old to manage. My other collars are really difficult for him to use, whereas he can easily screw and unscrew these with no problem. Plus I like how easy they are to use myself. Very happy with these.

These are from a company called 1st Chain Supply. They sell all kinds of chains for non-gym purposes but sell these sets specifically for lifting. They come with smaller chains for connecting to the bar so that you can easily adjust the length you need depending on the lift. I contemplated going the FBMP route and finding any old chains, but I don't have the right tools to cut chains this size and honestly I didn't want to have old rusty greasy chains in my gym. These were delivered to my door in three days and are exactly what I needed to dip my toes into the conjugate waters. I already want to get more.

Nice sturdy rack that I got to hold dumbbells above 50s. I can fit 5 DBs on each shelf so I will be able to get 55s - 85s by 5s when I get them. It's well built and easy to put together and has some color options. You do give up the ability to attach barbell or plate storage, and can't expand- but this costs less than $250 versus many many hundreds of dollars for the various modular storage systems. Depending on your needs, it might make sense to go for one of those, but if you only need dumbbell storage this is an excellent option.

Everything from Darko is super high quality and it's always nice to support fellow crü. There's a reason that the Anchor is so popular and it's because it works perfectly for its intended purpose. Use that space above that's otherwise being wasted - especially for keeping that pesky SSB in a convenient spot. Various color choices are the icing on the cake.

Typical Rogue construction- seems like you could hold ten thousand pounds on this thing. I used one to connect a couple of Monster strips and make a sort of custom storage rack. Works perfectly. A little bit more expensive than other companies but I think the quality difference is worth it.
