A touch on the pricey side, but I absolutely love this thing, hit my forearms in ways that are difficult to do with just a barbell or dumbells.

I have 2 of these mats and will grab more from menards if they still have them. I believe I payed 16 bucks per mat. These have a lot of the charm(smell) of horse stall mats but are easier to move around, not as thick but totally work great. I have my dumbbell cart sitting on it and it rolls easily and protects the floor.

I love the stuff from Posson Welding, its rough in the coolest kind of way. I love this XL grip for a hammer curl and loading pin, can do normal hammer curls or add a little bit of supination/pronation work as I curl to really hammer my forearms.

I think these are discontinued, but I really like these plates. The rotational grips are awesome and make holding these easy and in a pinch I have used them for cardio simply by holding the handles and going up some stairs. They are slightly thicker than an average iron plate, so they take up more room on the sleeve. I only have two real gripes, on deadlifts the recessed area of the plate where the handles are gets very annoying, and the hub is slightly recessed with a protrusion of rubber around it that makes my rogue USA collars really annoying on these. Other collars like my keppi open collars do a good job. If you can find these used for the right price you can't go wrong with these.

This is good if you are trying to specifically work on finger strength to improve grip, but it caps out way too low in resistance.

This is a first impression review, but so far, so good. Loved pulling on it, the knurling felt great (very aggressive) and the fit and finish is mostly great. My only complaint is a couple spots in the knurling appear to have been double tracked but I can't notice any difference when actually feeling the knurling, its all cosmetic. Will update review at a later date if my opinion changes since I've only had a couple opportunities to use it so far.

These come included with the Adroid Landmine and its done a great job keeping the end of the bar protected.

This is a little different and is primarily a tbar row platform, but turned around with a barbell in the landmine and it makes a pretty decent belt squat platform. Built with spare lumber, primarily 4x4 posts and 2x6s. Also a 2x4 that is used to rack the bar and start from a higher position for rows and belt squats. It seems as if the 2x4 would get in the way for belt squats and potentially catch you in the hamstring but I have not found that to be a problem at all.
