Really glad I went with horsetall mats for flooring. Worked really well and looks very professional for being cheap and easy to install. They get a little dirty and they’re actually a pain to transport into a basement, but there’s lots of tips online for handling and cutting them. They’re not 100% accurate to 4’x6’ but that’s ultimately not a huge deal

Fun grip training implement. Mimics the brutality of moving horse stall mats into place when you first build your home gym. The little rubber knubs wear down after you use it a lot for a while. Hurts your fingers but in a good way. I suck at it. Glad I have one

My first set of weight plates for my home gym. They work. Got them on sale for about 1$ per pound. The 10’s taco or warp a little bit. I weighed them and was surprised by how accurate they are. Off only by 0.5 lbs here and there, and often dead on the stated weight. I got the hyper thin 45’s and those are pretty nice for bumpers at 2.4” thickness. I eventually upgraded to strength co. plates

I’ve got the 105 lb rep kettlebell. Got it for doing swings and get ups, when I was really into Pavel tsatsuline’s “Simple and Sinister” program. This kettlebell is really nice, looks good, powder coat is nice. They get expensive when they get heavy but that’s to be expected. Holds chalk well

These are pretty sweet. I’ve decided there’s too many near 5 star reviews so I’m getting more critical with the stars. But overall these are awesome and a huge upgrade from standard j cups. Very beefy, was very satisfied upon unboxing. The roller function is quite nice, if I didn’t have monos I would only use roller j cups. The cone shaped rollers is ok, mostly works out for bench, most other stuff it’d probably be better if it was just flat but it doesn’t matter much. They look dope. A little pricy though

Got this on the 20% off sale so it was only like $180 after taxes. Free shipping. Was looking for a lighter barbell for my wife, and something I could use as like a rackable straight curl bar. The finish looks nice, sleeves spin well. Knurling is not agressive at all but not the most passive I’ve ever felt. The only thing that sucked, and this is my fault, is that the tube it came packaged in had the cap screwed. They were a bit of a pain to take out with all the tape covering them and I left one halfway in still before I slide the barbell out. Left a pretty good scratch on one of the collars. Don’t be like me, take all the screws all the way out first lol

I ordered the 3 bar gun rack from BOS. This got delivered instead. I informed BOS and they offered to pay for shipping to return it, or let me keep it for half off. It was already on sale, so half off was $53. For that much I’m pretty happy with it, except the knurling is oddly spaced and passive. But it looks kinda aesthetic. You can’t center tell the sleeves have a bit of play in them and they’re extra ribbed, but it works good enough for a curl bar
