These are some of the most useful things in my gym. I never used to do much dumbbell pressing because the process of getting them into position always felt very dicey and unsafe, especially when going heavy (or as heavy as I could go, anyway.) Now, there's definitely a learning process to using the dumbbell hooks and you need to dial in the right height well, but once I got the hang of them, I really started appreciating them. Build quality could be better though, the paint chips off pretty fast.

Perfection. The knurling is just the right amount of grippy, the stainless steel means this bar will outlast me, all at a very reasonable price point. Easily the best bar I've ever tried. Unless you're specifically into Olympic weightlifting, this is probably the best all-around bar for the average home gym.

This was my first barbell and in retrospect investing in a proper power bar would have been a better use of my money, but this is still a great bar. The knurling is excellent if a bit passive, machining is well done, the sleeves spin well (especially for bushings), only the black zinc comes off over time but that's to be expected. The lack of a center knurling is a bit annoying for back squats but nice for front squats, so it evens out.

Basically indestructible, good build quality, no tendency to tip over, all I could ever want from a calf block.

It's a basic ab wheel with no bells and whistles. Rolling action is smooth, the handles have a little bit of padding for comfort, it's cheap, there's really not much to say about it. It does the job.
