Jack of all trades, master of none. I found the only setting I liked was the "Goblet" setting.

A great take on the football bar. The Kabuki made version with the grippy powdercoat is a lot nicer than the Rogue produced one. That being said, I found myself going back to a straight bar. Had a lot of issues with the sleeves, which Kabuki ended up replacing 3 times and ultimately replaced the entire bar.

A very unique take on a dumbbell. Collaboration with HAVAK for a fixed set of their TRIAD dumbbell. Grippy powdercoat on the handles is fantastic. Very cool idea in concept to be able to "keep cranking out reps without setting down the weight". But I found them most useful for lateral raises, as you better load the initial part of the movement. Didn't love them enough for the space they took up to store and use they got.

Compact and easy to move squat stands. Easy to tuck out of the way, making them a great option for those limited on space. Individual stands let you customize the width. I originally bought in 2016 and ultimately upgraded to a power rack in 2020. They served me well, but better options exist today for the price point. Primary factor that pushed me to upgrade was not being able to use safeties.

Had the Costco version for a while and was my first weight stack piece of equipment in the home gym. Works well and an incredible value. However, is limited by the height. Included accessories leave a lot to be desired (especially the bench) - so expect to replace them with better options. Weight stacks do not have listed weights, but rather just sequential numbers so you don't really know how much you are lifting.

Works great as a calf pipe. Had one for a bit, but found it heavy/annoying to move and store.

I have an older version (maybe v2?) that was all stainless steel. Really nice, but the exposed magnets will scratch up the powder coat on whatever you are using them on. More expensive than other options, but has that premium feel to them. More of a bougie buy as there are much more economical options out there.

Very lightweight and easy to move platform. Great for travel but also for voltra work from the ground (i.e. belt squats, curls, RDL's). Does not fit in a carry on, so better for road trips than an airplane.
