Great tool to reduce the number of fixed dumbbells needed in your gym. They are expensive but the value stays high considering the amount of money they save on additional dumbbells. I wish they were slightly thinner, but I think they have done the best they could at reaching that.

Fantastic tool for board pressing that doesn't involve banding wooden boards to yourself. Must have for anyone serious about benching.

To be honest, I'm not sure if this is actually my dumbbell rack after my dad repainted them, but it's the closest I believe. Got it for cheap, and it does the job well. Only major downside is that it can be tricky to reach the bottom dumbbells with the vertical construction.

A simple accessory that works. No complaints. They even sell them at Walmart.

I love these plates. I was able to do some restoration on the chrome and removed the 'play it again sports' stickers, so they are better looking than they are in the picture. One day I hope to find a pair of 50kg and the missing 5kg plate.

The best neutral grip bar without a doubt. The angled in design allows for overhead work that normal swiss/football bars don't allow. Also, the handles are slightly offset in the frame for increased stability. It is very expensive for a neutral grip bar which dinged it on value, but I find it worth every penny.

I got one of these bars from the Rogue garage sale at the Arnold a couple years back. I got it after heavy use (I'm guessing either at a crossfit event or weightlifting training hall). Knurling is more passive than the Pyrros bar which may be preferable for daily training. There is a little play in the sleeves during the spin, but it is hardly noticeable. Definitely a solid choice for a weightlifting bar if you prefer a more passive knurl.
