Got these cheap over Xmas. Not sure I like them at all. Don’t love that they’re 3D printed or that they feel super economy. Guess for what I paid, I got value. Others swear by them but just haven’t yet found a way to get them in the mix for training.

I love all the things I’ve gotten from Kris. This was a no brainer for me. I wanted to swap out the 25mm handles that came with my Kabuki Trap Bar with the 29mm stainless steel option when it came out. So I sat on an extra pair of handles until I saw these straps and thought they’d be perfect for D handles combined with the 25mm chrome handles from Kabuki. Love the combo.

It’s a little squishy, but it does get the job done. Spend 45 seconds on this thing and it will wreck your stomach for a good three days. I would have bought a higher end unit if I actually thought I’d consistently use it.

These are the only rubber hex dumbbells you should buy. Or at least, the only handle style. All the other ones with the ergo handles are second rate compared to these. Great knurling and the feel of the straight bar in your hands is a sure fire bet, brochacho.

I don’t like loadable dumbbells. They’re stupid. It takes forever to add weights and it is only really suitable for single arm work. So I sold my other one of these and kept one and rarely use it. Expensive paperweight.

Another great product from Bare Steel. Works like a charm for when you need to add additional weight to your stack. Great for loading in between plates, or getting your big boy pants on and loading up a 45lb plate. That’s all I’d recommend, however, before this starts to angle down and come off the stack.

Absolutely love these things. They are excellent for your weight stacks. The magnets are not too strong to remove comfortably, but you never have to worry about them coming off while exercising.

I've ended up with two of these things some how. I think one is Cap and the other is Body Solid, and neither of them are worth a shit. They're really awkward to use. I don't think I've used them more than twice in the seven years I've been a home gym owner. Problem is, no one else wants this crap either. So now I have two. C'mon. Someone please come to my house and take one from me. See? You don't want one either.
