This was a very hyped cable attachment on YouTube in 2025. It is a good quality and feels good in hands. I use it primarily for shoulder raises, cable flys, and single arm rows. I also attach it to my barbell for landmine attachments. It has a lot more mobility with the rope, but the rope can rub your fingers during certain movements, which doesn’t feel the best. Also, carabiners start to rip up the rope over time, so make sure you have better carabiners to avoid ripping it up. It’s $35 and is a great entry D handle.

I love these plates. They are easy to grab, made of great material, don’t clank (if you need a quiet workout or just hate the noise, and probably most importantly for me- they are the best option for not freezing your hands off with typical metal plates. I workout in a shed in Idaho, so these are much nicer to my hands when it’s cold outside. People say weight is weight, but for me I interact with plates every workout and my wife was all in so it made it even easier. They are definitely expensive- very extra! Also, when I first got them there were some minor flaws so Rep let me keep the plates and sent me extra plates. Customer service is awesome and they are my favorite plates I’ve used. Disclaimer that they are not American made, but I don’t think there are urethane plates made in the states.

I bought the BoS light commercial rack off FB marketplace for a cheap price. So naturally, I got the BoS cable attachment. It opened up a lot of options for lat pulldown, low rows, curls and tricep extensions. It attaches easily and performs as expected for a budget cable system. It feels relatively smooth for what it is, although if you don’t have the same weight on each side of the horns then it gets really mad at you. Buttttt, the absolute biggest oversight and worst thing about this system is that the exit point for the top pulley is behind the crossbeam of the power rack, which causes the cable to drag significantly on the top cross beam, which limits movements like face pulls and single arm chest flies. This limitation alone makes me want to upgrade my cable system, and inherently my rack sooner than I otherwise would have.

I have found DMoose to be a sneaky good brand on Amazon and the dip belt is no exception. The belt has a lot of surface area on the pad and is able to be easily adjusted to sit on your lower back for movements like dips and pulls ups. It’s comfortable to use and has proven to not slip around during movement. The carabiners are on the cheaper end but you can easily swap out the carabiners for better ones. The only other belt that is somewhat interesting in this category is maybe going with a leather belt, but feels like an unnecessary upgrade. It’s a good price- get it!

Honestly one of my favorite cable attachments ever. Yes it is expensive, but man it feels so much better on certain movements like shoulder raises, chest supported rows, chest flys, etc. It spins like a mad man and seemingly has no limitations or gritty movements. It is so fluid and naturally follows your hand movement. Maybe one day I will get those stainless steel grips (although super expensive), but I really enjoy the rubber grips especially working out in a shed since it’s not metal (metal gets cold in the winter).

I had tried the Rep Fitness Barbell pad and various other solutions to make hip thrusters less painful. But they all sucked! This is an AbMat product, but got it via Rogue to hit my 3 items ship free. The hip thrust pad is pretty darn near perfect. The material feels heavy duty on the exterior and distributes the weight well with what feels like a curved hard plastic. It’s $50 which seems high initially but it honestly just makes hip thrusters so much more bearable. My wife loves it and I’m sure we will get more AbMat products, like the rotater hip thrust pad.

I bought the whole slew of these attachments on Amazon and split up the attachments with my brother in law. The original MAG grips (American made) are significantly more expensive. Although I have never used the MAG grips, these BLUSLM seemingly look and feel the same. They have great texture and feel solid in hand. They create natural positioning for your hands and remove your grip as the limiting factor in a lift. A tip to save money is that you can easily use the pronated attachment as a supinated attachment so no need to get them separate (ie don’t get a supinated close grip and a pronated close grip since they work both ways). I personally have a close grip, medium grip, and wide grip and that’s all I need!

I haven’t had the chance to use a higher end barbell yet (Rogue or Rep), but this feels just as good if not better than anything I used in a commercial gym. I use it for everything and have no problems with it. The coating on the sleeves is wearing off but the coating on the actual barbell is holding up fine. I bought it about a year ago off FB marketplace. I will always keep the bar around as a beater bar once I upgrade my barbell in the future. But could be perfectly content with this barbell forever if I had to.
