A classic gym flag that brings a needed pop of color.

I’ve tried and failed to knock this off my rack. It’s the pinnacle in home gym drink safety. 6 out of 5 stars, would recommend.

Pretty good plates for the money, especially if you can find them used. I’ve only had mine a year and a half and there is a gouge out of one of the 45s and the others show some wear. But they still work and do what I need them too.

The hype is real, this bar is fantastic. I’ve had it a few weeks and my only regret is not getting one sooner. I previously deadlifted with an Ohio power bar and this is superior in every way. The knurling is perfectly aggressive and there is a noticeable difference in the bar diameter compared to my OPB. If you don’t own on and you deadlift, buy one now.

I’ve had this bench about a year and a half and I love it. The bench is built like a tank and is very stable. The pad is firm and grippy however the gap could be a bit narrower. The back pad is long enough so that I can bench off of it and not deal with the gap. The bench is on the heavier side which isn’t an issue for me. It is a problem for my wife and daughter though.

These are big, beefy j-cups. Rogue covered any surface that the barbell can touch in UHMW. They did not extend that to surfaces that contact the rack so I had to use UHMW tape. I love squatting off of these. Reracking is a breeze given how big these are. They do strike me as expensive but they are well built.

Great cable attachment from Darko. It’s lightweight and extremely versatile. It has a lot of uses on a cable machine but can also be used as a landmine attachment. It’s called the Shorty for a reason, it’s good for narrow and mid grip exercises. It comes in a variety of colors and my personal favorite, stainless steel. You can also pair it with Darko’s d-grips for use as a fat grip bar.

It’s expensive but it’s worth it. Very high quality construction that will holdup over time. The shoulder straps are comfortable and you can purchase a hip belt separately. The MOLLE system is a nice touch although I haven’t used it much.
