I was looking for something cheap that would let me press outside (as well as other lifts). I have the 1.0 version which is 2x2 uprights and 1/2 inch holes. I got it on Marketplace for $40 along with some weight plates (which I sold) so this was basically free. It serves its purpose for me. I have low garage ceilings so OHP only works if I thread the needle through the beams perfectly. It’s lightweight and easy to move on/off my driveway. No UHMW on the j-cups but I can add some. This will get the job done if you’re on a really tight budget. But if this will be your main rack, I’d recommend spending a little more on a used 2x3 or 3x3 rack with more stability, spotter arms, other attachments etc

I used the stainless/black sleeves version at a gym for a few weeks while traveling. I really liked it and would purchase one for my gym if I ever had the need for another power bar. It’s like a 28.5mm Texas Power Bar (in terms of specs), but higher quality - better knurling IMO, tighter tolerances, and stainless. Knurling is great, felt great on SBD and Press. If you’re a powerlifter in a fed that only uses 29mm bars, this probably doesn’t make sense to get. Otherwise I think this is a great bar. Knocked off 1 star on value because it is pricey

I reconfigured my RML-390F to this half rack for about a year due to being in a small space. Didn’t have room for the 4 post rack plus weight storage, so this was a good alternative (only needed to buy the 17” crossmembers). I kept both 90” uprights on there, so the extra vertical storage space was nice. It’s well built like all Rogue racks and doesn’t need to be bolted down. You can usually find Rogue squat stands on Marketplace for a good price, and then purchase the half rack conversion kit from Rogue.

Scored the black zinc version for $175 on Marketplace. One of my best finds. Just needed a little 3-in-1 oil and wire brush and it looks barely used. Just to piggyback off of everyone else, this is an awesome deadlift bar. Pairs well with Strength Co plates.

I used this a few dozen times at a gym, mostly for farmer carries. It’s decent. I liked the different handle sizes but the powder coating was chipped all over. I never used it for deadlifts so I can’t speak to that part of it. I just checked and it’s $1,400 new. I feel like you could get a really good open trap bar for a fraction of that price and accomplish the same thing (if not more).

I really like this jump rope. I like to pretend that I’m Rocky training in a barn for my upcoming fight with Drago. I use it for warmups a few times a week. Length is adjustable, handles are a good length, and spins fast if you’re trying to do double unders during your training montage. I use mine in the driveway so the rough concrete wears out the rope over time - not a knock on build quality, just something to note if you do that. For $35 I think it’s a great value for a solid conditioning tool.

I had the older version of this for about 5 years. Structurally it was the same, but the padding was slightly lower quality than the updated version. Adjustments were very easy, but the back footplate was always a little wobbly. My favorite thing about it is the band pegs that run parallel to the machine - it made it really easy to put a band around it for banded GHRs. I got it on Marketplace for a good deal and sold it last time I moved. Haven’t decided if I want to get another one due to the space it takes up for the relatively small number of exercises. Solid piece though and I’d buy it again!

Picked this up on marketplace for $100. It’s cheap but gets the job done for my training. I wasn’t willing to spend much more on a machine that’s only used for accessories maybe once a week. I have low ceilings and this fits just fine. I can’t get a full stretch on lat pulldowns (I’m 5’9”) so I took a few stars off for that. I primarily use it for triceps and low rows, so the fact that the lat pulldown part is short doesn’t bother me too much. I cut the end cap off the top section so I can do face pulls without the cable rubbing against the metal. If you want something even remotely higher quality, then pass on this.
