These will put your grip to the test for pull ups. They are a bit uncomfortable and a version that is a bit more ergonomic would make these something I would use more regularly. Not that it is bad that they are shaped this way, but they are uncomfortably difficult, making them something I am less likely to use as my main pull up method. The back rubber padding to secure them to the rack is a really good idea and keeps them locked in to the cross member. For me this was a space I was not using on my rack so they are a good set and forget (and use a couple times per month). I would not buy them, but they were a gift. They are at a good price for this.

I got these to use with my Rogue Y2 (yoke). Spotter arms are probably my favorite spotter arms and these work just as well as any others that I have used. The UMHW plastic is quality, but is only on the top of the spotter. You will have metal on metal contact for where the spotter touches the upright. For my use this is not a big deal, but I do know some people care about this. They are not too heavy which makes them easy to set up and move.

This thing is just cool. Looks great in the gym and is fun to use. It is a great grip piece to play around with in the gym or to actually train for. I have the bare steel version and it held up great when I was in a basement gym. The year I moved into a garage gym it developed a lot of surface rust. More rust than any other piece of equipment I have ever had regardless of where I have kept it. I am sure it will clean up with some basic rust cleaning steps. I do really like the look of the bare steel version, but due to the rust, I would recommend getting the one with a coating.

I have tried a few different mono attachments and these are the first ones that mostly work. What I mean by that is that monos have the connotation to be used for squats. Other monos are absolutely useless for squats in my opinion unless you squat high bar and are going almost perfectly up and down in your stance. These are more serviceable for low bar squats, but not perfect. For that reason I don’t use them for squats and just use them for press. Now press is where these excel. Other monos work okay for press, but these work great. I have never had an issue with clipping the lip on these. They do help with a hand off style press, but I find that they are best for incline press. You can truly press up and back without any thought that you may hit the cup lip. I have not gotten to use the mutant metals monos, but I do hear that they figured this problem out a long time ago so those may be a better pick. I have not used them so I can’t say. I like how those look more and like the company more is all I can say. Back to this product though, I truly think these are a must have for being able to focus on your incline press. That is the most common barbell type press I have been doing since I train for strongman.

I love this product for how I want to store my weights. I like every plate having its own horn. I am not a fan of moving weight out of the way to get to others. This can be challenging when using powerlifting or olympic weightlifting plate sets. Adding a couple pairs of these on your plate tree is easy and will give you plenty of more storage without getting in the way of your other plates. I did make an error in my order and Darko was fast to respond and fixed me right up at no charge or delay. Great guy and member of the community who will make sure you are taken care of.

I was fortunate enough to get an early version of this and I really like how this was a step into making the mutant metals ecosystem for the dip handles. Since then there have been great advances in the versions of this that are more convenient and compact for multiple use cases. There are a handful of options you get with this and that is a good thing, but makes it hard for me to pick which I would most enjoy. In my opinion, the basic angle down is a safe bet as your wrists will be in a good angle. The attachment itself is pretty small and light weight. This makes it an easy thing to store in your attachment collection and expand to full size only when you need it.

Although my drink spotter XL is my daily driver for drink safety, the drink spotter lite was my first drink spotter and will always have a special place in my heart. Take a drink every time you see the word spotter on this page and you will need something to help you stay safe. Not something I do often, but this is not a bad size to take with you to sporting events and make your own cup holder on the fly.

I have both the brown and black version of this and they are very convenient for keeping your drink safe on the go. The magnets hold up well, but be sure that they have good contact to the metal surface. These are safe, but the magnets aren't working with the same amount of power as the drink spotter lite or XL. The finish and feel of the material is nice and fits in well in most situations. You can be the life of the party with this party trick.
