Started piecing together a garage gym in 2015 to avoid going outside in Alaska unless absolutely necessary with an Amazon squat stand and have been upgrading over time as I move around the country courtesy of the US Army. Now that I’m getting closer to to retirement, I’m trying to acquire my “forever” pieces and become moderately strong.

I struggled to decide where to land these in performance, I think it’s really dependent on intended use. The change plate size is great, but the 45s can be a bit challenging to grip or pick up off the floor when flat. On the other hand, if you need maximum room on the bar or using a plate loaded machine they can be great for loading up while taking minimal space.

Picked this up to stop holding dumbbells between my thighs. Works well enough and decently comfortable. 3 ships free helps on value.

Built well, price isn’t horrible, the only detractor is the starting weight is pretty heavy. Doubles as a club.

This is one of those pieces that once you have, you wonder how you made it so far without. If you don’t like to lift heavy things while lifting heavy things, this is for you.

Really a slept on product that is one of the most versatile pieces in the gym. Nordic curls, split squats, pull downs, hip thrusts and more can be done with this piece. It’s a bit expensive for what it is so that’s really the only thing I can knock on it.
