This thing is cheap and you get what you pay for. I could have probably made something better on my own, but it gets the job done. You’re won’t be out much if you want to try an ab roller before getting something nicer.

I find this thing to be pretty versatile, I’ve used it to break through sticking points for my bench press in the past but more recently I tend to use it for stretching and making space on other lifts like prone hamstring curls. I’m sure you can find more affordable things that serve the same purpose but overall no major complaints.

Had the opportunity to use this combo rack at LHLE and a couple local meets and it was great. Of course I wasn’t the one who had to purchase it and even if I had the money, I wouldn’t but it’s my favorite of all meet combo racks I’ve had the opportunity to try.

The first deadlift bar I ever used, so at the time I found it amazing because I’d never used anything but a power bar. Now of course I prefer a Texas but still an all around great bar.

There’s not much you can say about these that everyone doesn’t already know. They help protect your gym floor, act as insulation against a cold floor, and can be utilized for a bunch of miscellaneous things like my personal favorite, creating an affordable way to make a deficit or block for deadlifts.

I’ve used this for bench and squats in a few comps and I didn’t have any issues with it. Definitely liked the pad better than an ER Combo but still prefer to squat and bench in a rack but obviously not an option for meets.

These plates are amazing when you’re not the one purchasing them. Luckily I’ve had the opportunity to use them in many comps and while visiting other gyms. Just a bit of math to do to get freedom units but other than that, can’t complain.

I’ve used this combo rack in many meets and honestly hate benching out of it. The pad is slick and thin but maybe that’s how most combos are when benching. I’m sure there are many reasons why I see it in so many meets, but definitely not a fan. However, still gets the job done.
