No issues with the Titan Yoke, it’s what I learned on, and what I used in my first comp. I’m sure there are better built yokes out there but I liked it and would own one if I had the space.

Have had the opportunity to use these bags in competitions and while visiting other gyms and I really like them. Good quality, nice feel, overall great bag.

I had never had the opportunity to use a knurled axle bar until LHLE 3, and although I don’t mind a smooth axle bar, I did really enjoy using this bar from Gorilla Strength. It is nice that the knurl and smooth gave me guidance on where to put my hands!

I have used a Texas Squat Bar in every meet I have participated in and I love this bar. I like how the larger diameter feels. I would have given it a full 5 if they just marked the bar in some way that would help me know where to put my hands since I train with the power bar.

Picked a pair of tens up from FBMP at really good price, just needed something for warm up or those days you can’t hit the 45s but yet need it to be the standard plate size. The 10s are a bit flimsy and I prefer the look of the Rogue Echo bumpers but these are inexpensive and will get the job done. I would not recommend dropping them from overhead, they don’t seem strong enough for that.

Nothing to complain about with these. I find myself not using them often, but when I do it’s typically to mimic a yoke carry. Probably still not the ideal tool for that job really though. If you have a use for a couple loop straps these are built well and could potentially help you out.

This bar was my first bar I could get my hands on during Covid. Obviously not my first choice but at least it kept me lifting while gyms were closed. Knurling is very minimal, which is actually fine now that I only use this as a beater bar for things like RDLS, rows, landmine or whatever. But if powerlifting or strongman isn’t your lifting preference, then it would work fine.

Nothing ground breaking about these but if you are ok with your safety bars getting scratched (I am) then these are a decent buy to mimic some strongman events on the cheap. I’ve used two of them to practice car deadlift, used it for belt squat work, and some Viking press. If they had a plastic insert or something to protect your rack, the rating could be higher.
