This review may change over time. I don't have this exact brand but my bands are from Amazon and most of them are the same. I have these ones https://a.co/d/08lcnSP9 Purchased due to them not using latex and th need to avoid latex in my house. So far they've worked for what I need then for. We'll see how they hold up over time.

Fun little grip tool to keep in your car, at the office or around your house. Not going to dramatically improve your grip but I've noticed it's helping with my wrist issue I've been having. They're dirt cheap so I'll call that a win.

Got to dabble with this guy while on the road (thanks Big Matthew). Not a bad option. Easy to use out of a rack but I'd feel a little sketchy re-racking it. Starting weight is light so it's good for beginners. Build quality is typical Titan but that's usually cosmetic issues. I'd buy one off marketplace.

Bought these to throw on top of my horse stall mats while deadlifting to see if it would help with the noise and house shaking. I think it helps a bit. Given their size they're easy to move around if you want to use them in different areas without having stall mats all over the place. Price wasn't too bad.

Had a chance to use this bar for squats. Bare steel version. Checking the price online this is a great budget option where you're getting a good quality bar for a great price. My only complaint is the sleeves didn't spin very well but this may be due to the gym not maintaining the bar and not an actual issue with it.

Going to preface this with the fact that I've only used one other loadable dumbell and it was the gungnir. Plates load fine, knurling is ok. Handle/grip is way too narrow. I bought this for one purpose though, to throw a fat grip on there and mimick circus dumbell best I can. The handle is too narrow for a fat grip. It slides around which isn't safe. I fixed this by wrapping string around the handle then tape to thicken it up and now the day grip stays put. So all that said if you're looking at this for a specific purpose outside of normal dumbell use then have at it. If you're looking for a good dumbell this isn't it. Also the collars spin for some reason. Not really necessary unless you're training grip.

I've had a couple different versions of this in the past. Not bad if you're lighter in weight. I think my latest one was Gold's Gym brand. They're all basically the same. Never broke a door jam and I think the heaviest I weighed while using one was 225lbs.

Had the pleasure of testing this bad boy out at the Mecca (Massenomics gym). Pretty neat and can simulate the stress of carries without worrying about your arms. It was uncomfortable but it makes you want to move quicker.
