This is the flag that introduced me to Massenomics. If you grew up in the 80s or 90s and played videogames then this is a must for your home gym. The fact it's part of a series is awesome and can help establish a theme to your home gym that's fun and nostalgic. Would absolutely 100% recommend. I own the t-shirt too. The whole 8 bit series rocks.

I have the magnetized version of these and use them quite frequently for plate loaded machines and EZ bar curls. They are mostly plastic and the build quality isn't as robust or beefy as some other collars on the market, but I've never had an issue with mine. They snap into place and hold the weight there and the magnets are a nice feature that allow them to be stored virtually anywhere. Not sure I would trust them with a ton of weight on each side, but for the price they are fine for what they are. I'd recommend them for EZ bar or specialty bar curls where the sleeve is smaller since these are very narrow and definitely better than spring collars.

I got these as a budget alternative to the Prime handles, which I assume is why most folks have picked them up. While they work well, I don't really find a need for them over my Mag grip style handles that I have already. The paint chips almost immediately as well. I would recommend getting the mag grip style package over these given the similar price. That being said if you are specifically looking for single arm row handles, these would definitely be my recommendation. I just don't do a ton of those movements. I use them with a banana clip and they're fine for dual movements but not as good as the mag grips.

I used these extensively during bodybuilding prep and would highly recommend for those looking to increase vascularity and arm size. BFR allows an individual to target arms with less overall weight while keeping intensity high. It makes the same weight harder. While not ideal for gaining strength, it's a huge asset for individuals looking to reduce injury risk/strain on tendons while still getting a crazy arm pump. Just be sure you don't tighten these too much. The one thing I didn't like was the metal clips did have a tendency to snag on my arms while tightening them (ouch). However, they are affordable and do exactly what they are supposed to if you follow the instructions. Not for strength athletes but for those getting close to a bodybuilding or physique show, this is a valuable asset to keep intensity high while minimizing injury risk and managing fatigue.

I have a love hate relationship with this machine. It is absolutely brutal. I think it was fed peloton bikes in a cage somewhere before being delivered. It's beefy, well built, and will absolutely destroy you. I use it for steady state cardio, warm ups, and HIIT. The fan is loud but it's also nice to get hit by wind while you're gasping for air trying not to die. The one thing is, if you're not already in decent cardiovascular shape, this machine might be too much for you. It's just a lot of power to get it going and keep it going. I love the value and build quality of this thing and have never had an issue with its performance. Have to knock off a point from performance just because it doesn't come with stirrup style pedals and it may just be a little too much for someone just looking to start their fitness journey.

Just make sure you don’t make eye contact with anyone while using this machine. I got this piece for $350 online and the build quality reflects it. Pain in the butt to assemble and took forever. It does what it says it does and will target your adductors and abductors but the range of motion getting into and out of the machine is awkward and the lever arm in the back squeaks. I wouldn’t spend more than this on such a specialty piece of equipment with such a large footprint but that being said this is far from perfect. It’s adequate/good for the movement but just don’t expect it to be premium.

Not essential by any means but it’s a great specialty bar that helps with a lot of variations. It’s extremely good for seal rows thanks to the camber and also does well for bent over row work and neutral grip bench press. It’s simple and lacks the same polish and the Kabuki Cadillac bar, but it’s also significantly cheaper. The cable loop attachment is a nice touch but I’ve never actually used it in that capacity. Just way too big to be attaching to a lat pulldown.

A bit of a right of passage for home gym owners. Alan Thrall has done a terrific video showing step by step instructions. I used a base of two layers of plywood, wood glue to hold them together, then wood screws to drill everything in place. Ordered the logo off a third party website that specifically does flooring logos. Did 2-3 stain layers on top of a nice piece of sturdy pine wood. Horse stall mats on the side we cut. Overall the entire platform is 4x12 which is plenty of space for deadlifting. It's held up well over the past 6 months and is just a nice touch to the home gym. Home Depot or Lowes will cut wood to size, so it's a really approachable and affordable DIY project for home gym owners. Just take your time and you'll have something that will last you 10+ years.
