This is a must have for noise control and keeping the neighbors from hating you. After 6 months of deadlifting my neighbors finally told me after saying it wasn’t a disturbance that it was a disturbance so I had to make a quick purchase of these. They are large and tall so you do need to get some rubber tiles to make sure it’s not a block pull. When you are using the deadlift jacks it will be a little wonky compared to loading plates on the floor but it is doable.

The curl bar fairy didn’t really give me the best of the bunch here. Like others have said it is an odd number weight empty 19lbs if I’m not mistaken and it immediately patinas in the basement I plan on taking a metal spray paint can to it at some point. For use though it’s not bad for curls or skull crushers. Not rackable as well.

Pretty standard clips that every gym probably has I would say that getting a better pair would be ideal as they can be cumbersome to work with

This is necessary if you’re going to do hip thrusts in your program a mat or towel will not cut it.

This is a great budget friendly item that can add some variety into your program. Good for deficit work like deficit deadlift or front foot elevated reverse lunges.

This was something that I absolutely needed to add to the home gym. So many miscellaneous attachments that were just in a box on the floor can now be neatly displayed and easily accessible. It just adds a level of refinement to the home gym giving it character and cleanliness.
