I got these by accident when I bought my axle and asked if I needed them. I don’t. They are not designed for standard barbells. These do however work on the American cambered bar. Easy to use and lightweight, I enjoy these for when I know I may drop a weight (log press). My only concern is how flimsy they feel, even if they aren’t.

I got to use Big Cams log and it was super fun. He says it’s a custom 12” Valkyrie log. I was able to hoist it a few more times than I thought I could.

They’re a fairly good price and from the ones I’ve weighed are close to their advertised weight. Most of my weights are these with the exception of a few strength co plates. I do like the tri-grip option for loading deadlifts.

I used this in Keith’s gym and it was okay. Not my favourite deadlift bar as it’s very whippy (is that a word?) but it was still a fun time. This was very expensive when it existed and it’s why I don’t have one. RIP Kabuki.

I have the special edition red from the first LHLE and they are the coolest collars I have. The only thing I don't trust them on is anything I have to drop. They fit any bar, stay in place, and it's kinda neat that I can load the bar without removing them.

Got to use these at Big Cams last year. Not as good as real stones but we’re still fun to play with and set a 150lb to shoulder. If you can get a real stone you should, but these will do.

I got to use this at The Dam Shed with Big Cam. These are not as easy as they appear! 45lbs one hand? Easy. 100lbs two hands? Not a damn chance. I kinda want one for my gym tbh.

This is the only one I’ve used, and it’s borrowed from Big Cam after he heard I could use it to train log movements. Honestly, it does the job and I also like using it when my shoulder hurts. Axle collars fit which is nice to secure weights for log press, and the grips are spaced nicely. Thanks Cam
