This was my fist cardio piece. You can almost always find them cheap second hand <$100. They’re solid and get the job done. I mostly used mine for warm ups and occasional conditioning focused workouts but ended up selling it because I just didn’t use it much

I used to have the X2 version (2x2 5/8 hole) version. They worked ok and were a pain to store but now I have the Y dip style and much prefer that.

Nice little grip training tool. Cheap enough to that it’s not a big deal if you rarely use it. Mostly a fun change of pace for things like curls and rows to challenge your grip. I also use mine to protect my bands from sharp barbell knurling when doing banded deadlifts.

Your basic foam roller for a great price. It’s surprisingly firm, I only wish it were a little longer. (To be fair that may well exist as an option, I just picked the cheaper version years ago)

These are the basic safeties that come with most squat racks. They are cheap and will keep you safe if properly set. But they are a pain to adjust especially if you have multiple attachments. I prefer straps or spotter arms. The included picture shows how I most frequently use them. Some unique uses that straps and arms would struggle with are isometrics and adjustable height reverse band supports

I’m using these to store barbells as part of my DIY vertical hanging storage. You definitely need the 5” size to fit barbells. The official weight rating is only 33lb but that’s assuming the weight is all the way out on the end of the hook, but with the barbell up against the base it is plenty strong enough to even support the 65lb SSB. One thing I needed to do was make up a “clamp” to keep the U hook closed on the SSB due to the construction of the SSB collar to prevent it from spreading the U hook

I’ve built two DIY barbell storage systems. My original design was a horizontal gun rack style. I mounted two 2x6 (2x4 would have worked) to the wall and added angled 1x3 boards to hold up the barbells. My current system is a vertical hanging system using some Amazon brand shovel hooks that are mounted to the same 2x6. This version was easier to build an is more easily expandable. The only difficulty is that the SSB is a bit more cumbersome with the vertical storage but still works. I also like the vertical storage because it’s no longer a makeshift ladder for my toddler!

I found someone throwing away some carpet padding. Cut and folded it to shape and wrapped the whole thing up with layers and layers of duck tape. It’s ripped several times but all it takes is a few more strips of tape and it’s as good as “new”
