This was another Etsy buy for me that has been worth it. The traps and mechanisms are easy to use, the wood is smooth and strong. They can hold me at my heaviest of 275. If you’re interested in ring training I recommend these as an alternative to the more expensive brand name versions.

Bought these off Etsy and thought they might just be another cheap 3D printed hook that can’t stand more than 5 pounds but I was pleasantly surprised. This is great for storing your bands, slingshots, hip circles, mostly anything you use on the rack a ton. It has magnets so it grips tight to the rack. I have not tried hanging chains yet but am curious to know if it can handle it.

I got this used on market place as my third or fourth piece of equipment for 100$. It has definitely been worth the money. I love the angle of the footplate and think the safety works well. My biggest complaint is the hinge point. It is a single bolt that’s nut the most sturdy. Even after tightening it down it still sways side to side. If you are doing a first build and can find one on the cheap it’s great but if you’re not interested in cheating out and want to go big then I’d steer clear.

I bought this for a budget landmine attachment but I don’t think I care to replace it! I got mine for thirty bucks and have used it several times loaded at different weights and had zero issues. It has a long bolt that latches around the post of the rack to lock in place which can cause a little play but nothing crazy. My biggest complaint is that there is no way to store it up like other top of the line attachments. This has both an Olympic and standard slot for bars which is great if you are on a budget and can only afford standard at the moment or if you want to just pull out your vintage pig iron! I recommend this for anyone who uses a land mine on occasion or just is cheap like me.

I bought these after watching the video Rob had made on them. They are super available and affordable. I will have to replace my straps as they are the original but I tried them unloaded and copied a few exercises from the original York manual and man! These are great if you can get some they are fun tool. Even if you don’t use them they’re an awesome piece of history to see how far we’ve come in development!

I think these are the best collars I have in my gym! I bought these off eBay and they are missing the spring and have one of the wings on the wing nut broken but still lock tight and out perform my titan twist locks! I haven’t seen many of them but they are beautiful, sturdy, and can hold on tight!

I have started using this very frequently. A friend of mine told me I should use this for glue bridge when I was struggling on deadlifts. Made a huge difference! I was able to use the Sorinex version at the gym on base and it was smooth and super quality. If you can afford that one and know you’ll use it I’d get it but if you can’t or are unsure this is a perfect substitute.

It’s no Texas or York bar but it’s a great bar. Got mine with little to no issues that I could see and have had it a year. First real premium bar I bought. Knurling is passive but I think that’s good on Olympic bars. I use mine for RDL,OHP, and Deadlift a lot since I don’t have a deadlift bar. Planning to move on from it soon but for the quality and value it’s a great bar for CrossFit or Olympic lifting. Not nearly as versatile as a power bar but still a great tool to have.
