The Big Black Collar. These thing are awesome. They will likely get knocked because people will judge them by their size, but they actually only need about 2 inches to secure the bar. Most of the housing is for the spinlock design. They’re very solid collars. They’ve held up to everything that I’ve thrown at them and the key point I really like about them is someone that does barbell and strongman training they also fit all of my axle bars, logs, and other implements such as circus dumbbells so it really is an all-in-one collar. I would highly recommend if you use multiple types of bars and do multiple training modalities like powerlifting, strongman, and odd lifts.

These hooks are really handy around the gym if you have power racks, storage racks etc. I use them Mainly to storage attachments on my rack and cable tower. I use on 3x3 1in hole racks. A few other companies offer these to like Fringe Sport but I have found they are the same so grab them where you can get the best deal

This thing is built like a tank. It’s one of the best ones you can get if you want 3 x 3 1 inch holes for the price point. I really do like the modularity of the 3 x 3 uprights. The weight horns are also modular so they can be applied to the sides of the upright, the front of the upright or even on the feet, but at one time they did have some production issues where some of the yolks had oversized welds and it won’t let you attach the yoke down to the foot plate so you can get two pins in and make it a squat stand so I will definitely recommend if you want to use it as a squat stand go ahead and get the pull-up bar as well that way you have the extra stability if you if you plan on using it as a squat stand in addition to a yoke. But overall it’s really solid, but It does just have a few quirks adjusting. It can be kind of a pain by yourself but with a couple guys or a crew it’d be pretty easy to do and it should fit all the rep PR 5000 attachments because it has the same upright to 3 x 3 1 inch holes. Hopefully those production issues have been fixed, but justJust be aware if you’re trying to pick it up on the use Market, you might want to check that the yoke will fasten to the bottom feet if you ever plan on using it as a squat stand etc.

Just like the blues they are great option for folks getting a grip training or just wanna take their forearm training to the next level really awesome if you don’t already own something like an axle bar get a pair of these. They’re pretty inexpensive and easy to get on Amazon that make a great gift for others and if nothing else you need them so you can do “THE ORANGE CRUSH GRIP CHALLENGE” with Big Dr. Hogan.

A great option for those first one to get the grip training and they don’t own an axle bar. You can just apply these to a dumbbell or axle bar and use them to do your grip training. They’re also a nice hack to build forearms for doing dumbbell work. They’re available on Amazon pretty inexpensive a great gift idea for somebody. You know that has a Home gym that doesn’t already have them.

Building my gym over the last several years and multiple locations. I’ve seen my share of horse all mats and the ones with the flat top and the circles on the bottom are by far the best. These are the ones I would get I would not buy any others I would just wait until I could find these heavy duty powder for several years if you clean them when you first get them and lay them out in the sun they take the smell away pretty quick. I got my offer for $23 a Matt they have went up in price since then but they’re still one of the better values on the market and they could be used for so many other things like pulling blocks, Shims, shelves protection and other things in addition to Home gym flooring. I found the best way to keep them together is just using black gorilla tape and it keeps them from dirt debris, water and spills getting underneath so I’ll definitely do the gorilla tape to keep them all together.

Not your Grandma’s Amazon Daisy Chains. A versatile high-quality rack and/or cable attachment can be used for a lot of things around the Home gym. The possibilities are really endless. The build quality is solid. All of their Nylon webbing is top-tier.

I have tested all types of brushes for Barbell cleaning and Barbell Rescue is by far the best. It’s even head and shoulders above another popular brush called the hybrid brush. You definitely want this one because it goes all the way around the bar and catches things like chalk debris, skin, and oil If your own Barbells do yourself a favour and get one of these! If want to take it up a notch and get yourself some of their barbell oil and one of their microfiber high-quality Towels makes barbell cleaning a breeze!
