Had mine for around 8 years with no issues. Far superior to the old spring clip style, however they are more expensive.

Nice stable beefy single leg squat stand. Far more comfortable than putting your foot on a bench behind you. Perform Better is a great resource for stuff like this.

I find this to be one of, if not the, best chest presses ever. I tried it at a gym in Hawaii and was amazed at how it felt. Incredibly smooth, great strength curve, good for high and low reps, lots of adjustability. For the question of value… it’s worth it to me, but I certainly wouldn’t say it was a smart financial move. If you get a chance, try it out.

Nice way to micro load for training to hit a deep dish hub lift. Pretty slick finish, harder in my opinion than doing a hub with a 45lber, so a good training tool. Finish will chip against the loading horn when you drop it or it slips out of your hand.

Some of the COC grippers I have are north of 20yrs and still get the job done. I’m sure there are cheaper options but if you get these you can be sure you are getting a gripper that will last.
