They definitely create that late Saturday stumble they promise when you use them for the first time. Creates a pretty unstable yolk walk with a barbell and compact straps. They're also useful for people with short ceilings. Since I have limited overhead space and can't overhead press with bumper plates, I choke up the straps as far as they can go and hang the bumper plate under the barbell so I can overhead press.

It works as advertised as long as the advertisement you're listening to isn't a podcaster saying it'll change your life and improve your ACT scores. I bought one a few years ago and use it intermittently on my psoas and traps, but I'm sure it's useful for other muscles too. Provides a good bit of benefit, but I'm not sure it's worth the $80 price point on amazon.

I have the kabuki-made gen 1 bar where they used powder coating for grip instead of knurling, but I haven't had any issues with grip so I imagine the knurled version is great. The neutral grip spacing is great on pressing/rowing movements and the camber gives a great stretch at the bottom of those movements too. Storage can be an issue in smaller spaces, but the Darko anchor and the PRx safety squat bar storage plate works well.

Really convenient way to get some extensor work in and help with the occasional elbow pain. I keep a set in my desk at the office and use them when my elbows get cranky.

It's alright, you definitely get what you pay for. Pros - Inexpensive, compact and easily loadable. It's great for working through wrist/forearm discomforts in a variety of motions and you can adjust your hand position on the bar to fine tune that felt load. Cons - Knurling is nonexistent so it'll help to wrap it in athletic tape.

It’s a fun little desk addition for the discerning gym enthusiast. It’s also the first thing I’m picking up if a fight breaks out in the cubicles. Things slide around pretty easily since it’s all metal, and I personally added a piece of paper behind the front face to really make the logo pop, but overall it’s been a great purchase.

A Costco sized bag of rice and an orange bucket (or any color you want) makes one of the best forearm conditioning tools you could have. I also bought a spinning chair bucket lid from Home Depot and have a convenient little chair for more seated exercises.

Made a gym so nice, I had to get it certified twice.
