I’ve got the 105 lb rep kettlebell. Got it for doing swings and get ups, when I was really into Pavel tsatsuline’s “Simple and Sinister” program. This kettlebell is really nice, looks good, powder coat is nice. They get expensive when they get heavy but that’s to be expected. Holds chalk well

These are pretty sweet. I’ve decided there’s too many near 5 star reviews so I’m getting more critical with the stars. But overall these are awesome and a huge upgrade from standard j cups. Very beefy, was very satisfied upon unboxing. The roller function is quite nice, if I didn’t have monos I would only use roller j cups. The cone shaped rollers is ok, mostly works out for bench, most other stuff it’d probably be better if it was just flat but it doesn’t matter much. They look dope. A little pricy though

Got this on the 20% off sale so it was only like $180 after taxes. Free shipping. Was looking for a lighter barbell for my wife, and something I could use as like a rackable straight curl bar. The finish looks nice, sleeves spin well. Knurling is not agressive at all but not the most passive I’ve ever felt. The only thing that sucked, and this is my fault, is that the tube it came packaged in had the cap screwed. They were a bit of a pain to take out with all the tape covering them and I left one halfway in still before I slide the barbell out. Left a pretty good scratch on one of the collars. Don’t be like me, take all the screws all the way out first lol

I ordered the 3 bar gun rack from BOS. This got delivered instead. I informed BOS and they offered to pay for shipping to return it, or let me keep it for half off. It was already on sale, so half off was $53. For that much I’m pretty happy with it, except the knurling is oddly spaced and passive. But it looks kinda aesthetic. You can’t center tell the sleeves have a bit of play in them and they’re extra ribbed, but it works good enough for a curl bar

Good looking band pegs. Quality. Affordable. $30 for 4 of the 5/8” with free shipping makes them a nice deal, better than even some Amazon choices. I use them as storage posts for my change plates now

I got the short version. Very affordable, showed up quickly, no damage. I thought it looked good. The powder coat is a little slick, but it’s alright. I mostly plan on using this for hip thrusts, since the larger diameter/ surface area will be more comfortable on the waist and the shorter length will be easier to balance. I was pretty satisfied with the purchase. I could’ve done better welds on the little sleeve collars though, but no big deal. Also kinda wish the distance between sleeves wasn’t exactly 43” so that you could load weights on it like a short EZ curl bar, even though it isn’t rackable. As it is now, you can’t center it onto the sleeves on j cups, has to sit offset. Kinda sucks oh well

I’m 5,7 and squat low bar and these work for me on that. They also obviously work extremely well for bench press. They look cool. They are heavier than I expected, but much lighter than the older style of mono attachments from what I hear. I have the monster light version, and the area where the pin goes through the holes extends higher up on the attachment. I can’t get them high enough on the rack for shoulder press, but that’s ok. Mine showed up with a big scratch on one of the monos, but rogue offered to replace it or refund me $75. I took the cash. I love em
