I've used a handful of axle bars in the past but this is the first one I've owned and I must say, throw away your cheaper bars and upgrade. Pros: It's 45lbs, so no silly plate math. Center and other hand placement marks. Nice powdercoating. Classy looking end caps. Cons: you're a cheap bitch and don't want to spend the extra money on it.

Very basic strap for a reasonable price. My only complaint is I wish the loops had some padding, but that would most likely increase the cost. For under $20, throw it in with your next elitefts order.

An essential piece of equipment if you're trying to blow up your bench / triceps. High quality foam that won't break down (like the cheap knockoffs will)

An upgrade from the j hooks that came with the rack. Much heavier duty and stable. Worth the extra money.

For a j hook that comes free with the rack, it works just fine. I'd recommend upgrading to the sandwich j hooks at some point.

I'm serious about lifting. But also not too serious that I can't have some fun. Being a proud member of the Silly Goose Barbell Club, is seriously silly business.

Drink safety is a high priority here at South Shore Strength and there is no better way to keep my white monster safe.

Can't beat an oversized gym flag with a badass design
