Drill some holes in a 4*6, put some gas pipe through, counter sink the flanges on the other side. Drill a hole for some dowels at the end. Glue dowels. Done. Less than $100 from large home improvement store. Attaching the flanges on the top with screws puts too much faith in the screws, the tapered threads will have more than enough strength.

The easiest, most effective and efficient way to clean a dirty barbell. A drink spotter chill is the most stylish way to keep your brush attached to the rack

I haven’t managed to break them after two years. The more expensive options on Amazon don’t last as long. Bells offers replacement covers for when the zippers eventually explode. The foam will break down over time if you keep resting the plates in the same place on the pad. The Velcro works great for stacking the pads to make blocks, just make sure you put plywood on top or the weights will sink into the pad. You can see a bit of a dent in the middle of the logo.

Each one in the set weights something different, +- half an oz. They didn’t do a very good job cleaning them after they were made which causes the weight differences and makes them look cheap. At $5/lb they should be better

Like most BOS equipment, retightening of the nuts and bolts is required. The UHMW wears a bit quicker than you’d like if your barbell has decent knurling.

The main problem with these roller cups is that there is a 3/4 inch lip that you need to clear to get the barbell on/off the roller. Not a problem if you have a lift off, but it’s really annoying if you bench by yourself. Still better than using squat stands like a jackass.

If for some reason this didn’t come with your gym, or it wasn’t delivered by the EZ curl bar fairy, this is an option. This is an incredibly overpriced item now, it’s gone up 200% over the past two years. It’s fairly reliable but the nuts on the sleeves need to be tighten occasionally, which wouldn’t be as annoying if it used a standard sized lock ring.

Great plates for hub lifting and a great plate to start a vintage weight collection with.
