These can be LOCKED DOWN on the bar. Good collars from keeping weight on. I am not a fan of the twist mechanism, but they will work on normal and axle like sleeves. It doesn’t feel cheap, but it’s not comfortable or convenient. For the price either go cheaper with a budget lockjaw or high end like rogue USA aluminum. The chain version of these I do like a lot.

The quality control on these is better than Titan or other budget brands, but in reality this is a very similar feel to anyone else who does a basic landmine. If you are going this route just to the tennis ball in the corner trick or the weight plate trick Joe Gray has shown. If you want quality that has a bit more ROM on the pivot point go with the rep x kleva.

Tried and true for dips. The angle and quality will meet your needs. I will say after using specialty ones like the UDA, I’d have a hard time going basic with my dip attachment. Mostly because it does one thing and I have multiple uses for the handles with my UDA. If you want to save money and want to do dips, this will work, but at that point go with whichever brand that does the same thing but cheaper (rep or titan). It is large and difficult to store.

It’s a well built pin, but I’d recommend buying a cheaper one if you’re looking at this general level quality. Titan is a good pick. If you want something premium look at more specialty brands like grip genie, JD gym equipped, or others that do a stainless or similar design. I generally don’t recommend a high end loading pin, but they are cool!

These are a true axle collar. These will not work with something larger than an axle bar. Make sure the axle is true axle size as the titan axle is 2”ish and too big for these. Really good for a tight fit for your axle sized sleeves, but personally I’d recommend another brand that has collars that will fit both axle and normal. Cerberus makes a pair and I believe lockjaw as well.

I’m not a big fan of these double wide foot designs. For a similar price you can go with a rep bench and get a better pad and the mono post by the foot. If you find a used one I’d recon upgrading the pad with a rep pad or one from Darko. The material is a bit slick.

These are a step up from crumb/ high temp plates. Quality and overall feel is good. For the price and how thick they are I’d go with something cheaper from another brand of crumb plates from homegrown. If you find them used the reduced price will make this a more appealing option.

These are made of a hard plastic. For fundamentals of Olympic lifting, for people young, rehabing an injury, or those with significant limitations these can be a great tool to get into the typical position with the bar on the floor. They are light enough that you really will only be working with the bar. Paired with a lighter weight bar and then you have equipment that can be adapted to any level. For most people I don’t see much need in these. They are thick and will take up as much space as a 25kg bumper plate. I do see their use, but almost seems more like a physical therapy tool.
