My first J Cups as my Y-2 Yoke was also my squat rack for a while. I never doubt the ability for these to hold my weight, but the lack of UHMW on the front lip does wear your bar away a bit. Plus, having some UHMW on the bottom would also be beneficial. Still, for the price, if you have a 2x3 rack, you're not likely to find a more solid J cup.

There are probably the best a la carte uprights you can buy for 5/8 hardware. The sides have holes every 2" instead of every 6" (like Titan and Rogue), and they have hole numbering every five hole, which is better than Rogue or Titan that don't do either. If you're expanding your rack by yourself and have a metric rack, these are the best ones to get.

Rep is really the only one that sells cross members these easily accessible with hole spacing all around. The only weird part is that the 16" crossmembers have 1" holes on top and bottom but 5/8" on the sides, but that's be cause of the cable attachments they are used for. Still a great purchase for a la carte expansions.

As a strongman competitor, having a set of atlas stones is very handy. I would recommend finding some tutorials to coat the stones. Mine are unfinished, and they get very dusty; tacky then quickly stops being effective after a few reps.

During my time with my Monster Lite flat foot rack, I have a set of strap safeties. They were great as safeties, but they were difficult to use for something like pin press. To get the bottom of the strap at a good height for pin pressing, the J-cups I had could not be set low enough for a safe unrack and rerack while also being high enough to get out of the way of the strap safeties. Not a huge issue because that's the only issue I had, but something to be aware of.

After both of my arms were out of commission for a while, I needed a deadlift harness to do any sort of deadlifting or even hinging movements. It took me a bit to get it dialed in, but once I figured out how it needed to be used for maximized comfort, it was good. I have no doubt this harness would outlast anyone's strength essentially, but it still could have been a bit more comfortable (maybe just a bit of padding in the shoulder area). When you're limited by injury and need some kind of heavy lifting to stay mentally healthy, this harness is literally worth its weight in gold (metaphorically of course).

I don't actually use this rope for battle ropes, but instead got it to try to arm over arm pulls. It's fine in that regard, but it has started to show signs of fraying. Also, if you just want it for arm over arm, buy it used or just buy a regular rope.

If you don't have one these, you're missing out on Gym Radar and the community.
