One of the smaller companies that produced bags for a while. It is indeed a no frills bag, but gets the job done. Feel is a little looser tan some of the bigger companies.

While these were a good idea and easy to make for someone who can do concrete work, they can be a bit unwieldy and the edges can draw blood. When I first made these, I couldn't even get them off the ground.

Old solid piece. The one I have has out in a lot of work, but I do wish I had one with both a flat and elevated grip option.

Right place right time freebie, but this one is way too heavy for a starter piece. It's shot loaded making it a little extra difficult to adjust.

My first loading platforms was a row of 4x4s in the rack. The leftovers went to this by simply racking a few pieces of 4x4 together. I also have other single pieces of 4x4 I place under to.elevate each one when needed.

The basic dumbbells where it started. They hold up well as long as they aren't clanging and banging together (a previous set I was using for chest flies chipped away due to this)

This was an early piece that I've used less and less over the years. It takes a good anchor point, room to set up, and the work of setting and resetting the rope. Adjustments were definitely not dummy proof on my part. Over years of competing I've leaned away from using this (likely my least used strongman specific piece) and instead preferring a sled.

I've purchased these both new and used. The new ones have been kicking around a while and still look brand new. They are the "go to" 25's for the rack/cable area where I have six of them. Most were right on the dot but two were 0.2 and one was 1.2 pounds off.
