These are amazing plates. Accurate, extremely thin, and much easier to move around than regular calibrated plates with the handles. And of course, they are beautiful with the steel/chrome finish. These are made by Xmaster and essentially identical to them, though I prefer the HVO branding and they were much lower priced at TEMU.

Perfect pulling attachment for those with factors that limit ROM, such as limited face height or connector bars like on my Ares 1.0 due to the attachment point being flush with the handles. This gives me more ROM on the ares 1.0 low row then any other attachment. It's also lightweight, the handles feel great, and I like the multiple grip widths and ability to flip it to swap from slight pronated to slight supinated grips.

Absolute tank of a treadmill. The slat belt will outlive you in a home gym setting. I vastly prefer the feel of it to a standard treadmill. I have the version with the analogue monitor which I prefer. Keeps it simple. Value? Ehhh, this thing is like 15k new. Find yourself a used one from a closing gym. I got one for $2500 with 7k miles on it. Sounds like a lot until you realize the slat belt is rated for 100k.

Great value (when purchased on sale, which Fringe runs all the time). The kickstand is a must get. The side weight horns are not unless you are super strong and/or only have bumpers. There are inherent limitations to a level style belt squat, but this minimizes them by allowing you to have a very long lever. A few tips: 1. if you have the space, overlap the two pieces by only 2 bolts instead of 3. its still plenty strong, and this extends the lever which improves the squat path and felt weight. 2. Move the weight horn back 1 spot closer to you. Has the same effect.

These feel fantastic for many cable exercises, especially curls, flys and shoulder exercises/lateral raises. For heavier presses, I actually prefer a typical steel/non spinning handle for stability The price is high for what they are, so dinging them on value, but they're well built and if you do a lot of cable training, a D-handle is the accessory you will use the most and is worth investing in.
