I first used these at a strongman comp during a deadlift medley. I liked the feel of the height I pulled from so bought a set. Overall, I really like using them. They are Rogue so the quality is spot on, there was almost no smell from the rubber when they arrived and the bounce is really nice. The only downside for me is storage and the limited use I have for them. They are also not the best to load on a bar. But.. I would buy them again and do recommend them especially if you regularly train deadlift and like mixing in variation to your programming.
