I had this bench to replace the Rep Fitness AB 3000 1.0. This was essentially a clone of that but had rubber feet on the bottom, which allowed me to stay under the bench without it moving on my platform. At the end of the day, the other major problem that I had with it, and why I sold it, was the lack of a cage on the FID sliding portion of the bench. It was not able to be stood up, and that is a huge drawback since space is a premium and I'm squatting in the cage half the time and need to move around the rest of the gym between sets. The padding was essentially the same as Rep's at that point. I'm not sure if they have the same clean grip vinyl that Rep has moved to, but this bench was essentially a copy of that one, so my guess would be they're made in the same factory or close to it. The one other thing I didn't love about the bench was being unable to remove the foot holds. That kept me from being able to really dig in on incline or flat.

This wasn't a great purchase. Having to put it together sucked. And it was just a handful of skinny pieces of unfinished wood. It did what it was supposed to do, which was as a pedestal for my Echo GHD. Once I dumped that, I dumped this. Would recommend a softer material for a box, since no way in hell I was going to jump on this thing and beat up my shins. Pass unless you have to hard fan-boy Rogue with every ounce of strength in your CrossFitting body.

I had this on my wall for a couple of years and I used it mostly for ab work. As far as using it for GHRs, the games box that was under it was not 100% aligned, or something like that, because it always moved just a touch off the box, which was unnerving to deal with it while trying to build up those hammies. I ended up selling it because it just wasn't working as intended, and I figured I'd get a GHR to replace it but never quite got around to it. I don't believe I'd use a proper GHD if I had one. So I haven't bothered trying to find the space in the gym for it.

I think this came with my Fitness Reality XLT rack that I had when I first started my gym. At least I don't recall paying separately for it. Either way, it was fine and got the job done. It was easy to screw on the rack and it rotated, which is exactly what a landmine attachment is supposed to do. It's not sexy but you're not paying for sexy if you're getting a budget rack ecosystem off of Amazon. But if you need a simple set up, or something to attach to a 2x2 rack, then Bob's your uncle.

I bought this used and the dude told me that all three pairs of horns would fit bumper plates. By the time I got home, 40 minutes later, and tried to put my 45s on the top, it became clear that this would not fit three levels of 45s. It took me about 4 months to sell the damned thing, and I got almost all of my money back, but I had to figure out storage for a couple of pairs of 45s until I could offload this and buy another tree. Honestly, why bother making something like this? I guess its for a commercial gym and they will have smaller diameter plates at the top, and I ended up with 25s and then 10s, 5's, and 2.5's on the other side. But what a hassle. Don't pick this up if you plan on using it for 45s on each post.

Great product from Gods of Grip, with the typical grippy powder coat they provide, and a true to size 50mm ball to test your grip. I'll likely get larger sizes as my grip strength improves, but this is big enough for me for now.

These were a middle-of-the-road plate for me. I had them during covid and the black rubber showed quick signs of use and abuse. I was able to get my money back and switch out at the time to color Echos, but those two were not the best at hiding scuffs and whatnot. They're a pretty decent value overall but can't see buying these, or the colored ones, or the Flecks over the Savage plates from Fringe at this point, between the quality and price point. Perfectly fine plate, however, if you come across them used and they're in good condition.

These get the job done and I've had them since day one in my gym. The problem is how much they move around when you slacken the band tension to the bar and while its not a big deal, I'd much prefer to have pegs that are magnetic. I missed the opportunity to get them from Fringe when they offered them, but it isn't a big enough deal to replace. I do have a pair that I'm using for my smith machine at the top (to bring down the weight of the bar at the lower settings), which gives a nice little bit of increased feel at the top of a squat or bench. Get magnetic if you can, but the options are pretty pricey now for that.
