I love this thing. So easy to take on and off. Very expensive, but if you are doing truck pulls you know how you want to get it on quick and off quicker. Especially if you are doing it with others. This fits me well at ~180 lbs and has been able to cram onto 300+lb people. We have pulled some serious semis and buses on this thing and it has not shown any wear on it. For a home gym this is hard to recommend due to the cost, but if you are doing a comp you need this for time efficiency.

I am not a big fan of the twist and pressure fit design, but I love having collars with a secure attachment point for chains that is easy to take of and off. I am not sure of anything on the market I like more so Id recommend this to those who plan to do chain work.

This is the cheap way to get the job done. It works and that is it. For most this is what you will need and nothing more. Unless you are going premium with something with more controlled weight or with a nicer finish, just get these.

These look cool and function in a neat way. They feel quality and the knurling is great. They lock in pretty well, but do get loose after 2 sets. The magnet is strong and that is a big plus. They do have plastic on the inside, but for some reason they still scuff the plates. I have checked time and time again and I am sure. They will wear away all the pain and coating on your plates quicker than any other collar I know. They are also expensive compared to most collars. Get the USA aluminum magnetic instead. These are fun and easy to use so may be a good one for a guest to use. I would not recommend them for daily driver or for regular use on fine fine china plates.

Don’t get this. It looks like it will be great, but it basically does not work. There is not enough room for someone to stand on it. It is not wide enough. Your foot will be half off it because your legs will be hitting the bench. You can stand at an angle to make it kind of work, but at that point you aren’t in a good position to lift off or to save a lift. It just adds weight to the bench and limits the angle where it can be rolled around. They need to stop selling this and make a new design. It almost works for spotting incline press. It is a bit short for that, but I bet it will help some people

This is one of the few home gym (and just gym) innovations that have maintained the classic design over the years. Reminds us of when we used to be a proper country. I love these things. I got a pair at HGC 2023 for free. I was talking at the booth and the person working it asked if I was looking to get a pair. I said something like “they are on the wishlist”. They said “wish no more. Here you go”. Gave me both of them. There isn’t really anything else they sell that I have much interest in so I am not sure how that was going to make them money, but it really left a positive impression on me. There are plenty of cheap knock offs of these. Get the original and support people who come up with innovation. They do work really well and support any amount of weight I have ever seen on them. Makes board press on your own, realistic and safer.

Tanner painstakingly makes these by hand. Keep buying them so he keeps having to fill his house with the outgassing smell of stall mats. This is a fun piece to use that most home gym owners will get a kick out of immediately. Anyone who has moved horse stall mats knows the pain. These give you a chance to scale that pain.. and possibly make it even worse. If it is good enough for Brian Shaw and Brandon Doyle then it is good enough for you.

I am not positive where these came from, but they were a FBMP pickup. The size and shape do not seem like they came from a gym equipment seller. I do think second hand chains are the go to for adding them to the gym. These are heavy duty and are just fun to use. The store bought ones I see are mostly lighter weight and don’t have that same wow/fun factor.
