These are fine spotters, but how hard they are to adjust is SUCH A PAIN. if you get these then also get the adaptor kit to pop out the side so you can adjust easier. Another option is get the ML and then buy 4 of the ⅝” to 1” adaptors on amazon. A bit pricey of an addition, but not a bad way to address it. The only problem I see there is more metal on metal contact.

This is a great minimal plate carrier that will pair well for weighted dips and pull ups. I do think if you want to do the Murph that you would want a bit more padding so the 5.11 trainer may be a better go to.

Very convenient and can fit a range of flat benches. Anything that could hook on the lip could also hang here, but generally keep it to your flat bench. Secure it well in you wall and you could hang a lot of weight off this.

Not a big fan of this for a home gym. Takes up a crazy amount of space, awkward to setup and move, and nearly impossible to store. When not in use it’ll just be on your floor or will have an odd semi permanent space on your rack. I’d go with the Darko thresher pad over this. I will say this is great in a commercial setting with lots of space.

The pad inside this ruins these for me. It makes a fine product feel cheap and it gets gross over time. Do yourself a favor and go with the BFAS instead.

This truly does feel amazing. Ab mat makes a pad that makes the roll out more comfortable. I am not sure who could justify the price for a home gym, especially since you need someone else to roll you out. If you have that setup then this is a great tool for recovery and addressing pains. As always, if DT made it then it is 5 STARS!

I am not sure the place this has in a home gym unless you are using bands. Even then there seems to be better options. The pad is fine, but not great. If you are this dedicated to bench, I am assuming you do PL and at that point you may be better off looking at a combo rack. If this is at a commercial gym I can see a place for it, but I haven't noticed many advantages over this style of bench.

These are great. I do think that these are third in line for the “bells” to get (DB, KB, then FB). The feel of the hand in the center of mass is unique. My best description is that it is more comfortable on the wrist and shoulder. These are expensive and having a whole set for use could be difficult to fit in a home gym. May be better for commercial gyms or large home gyms. There is nothing else out there like it, so for that it is in a league of its own. 5 stars.
