This CDB has held up to some terrible drops and hasn't bent yet. The inner corner is very sharp so I have to use some sort of rigid forearm protection to not bruise my bones. The sleeves are standard pipe so you'll need axle collars or Husker Powerlocks.

I like these little 10lb urethane plates just as general use change plates. They get used more for standard barbell movements and on my plate loaded cable tower than they do for the intended dumbbell loading. They're also nice for loading in a circus dumbbell.

I went with this trap bar because my storage space is limited and this bar is available in a configuration that is a foot shorter than the standard bar. It's advertised as not being rackable but you could push out the plates with a second set of collars to still rack it. You are technically paying more money for less features compared to the standard REP trap bar.

These are the weights that my gym started with, and I wasn't sad to see them go. They feel gross, they look ugly, but they do weigh a weight.

The donut and pizza plates add just a little bit of whimsy and fun to every workout, and that's what being a silly goose is all about. Also they feel nice, and all the colored details are actually molded in, and they have a nice steel competition style inner collar.

If you feel like the skin on your hands and the nerves in your thumb are especially in need of being punished, this is the best way to do it.

This bomb proof handle is great for loading up heavy swings that are bigger than I can go with my kettle bells. I have both the hinged and fixed handle, and they feel pretty interchangeable in use. It has room for six of my 25lb Bells of Steel grip plates, so if I want to go over 200 pounds I would need thinner plates.

I only have two REP kettlebells, an 80lb and a 106lb, but they're both nice with grippy yet smooth handle. They're pretty much only used for kettlebell swings. Heavier than that I use an MB power pole.
