If you don't mind the cage design and want a pair of adjustable dumbbells that'll last, PowerBlocks is a good option. They are often available secondhand on Facebook Marketplace, which is how I acquired mine ($200 for the dumbbells + stand). My pair is the classic, all-metal design without any urethane. It functions like new and the only thing that looks aged is the color coded bars on the side, which have faded somewhat over the years. Although I have a set of fixed dumbbells (up to 65 lbs at present), it is nice to have an adjustable pair - in case I have a visitor to my gym. I'm docking a star for build quality because I'd rather have a straight knurled handle, rather than the bumpy "ergonomic" rubber handle.

These monolift arms are spring-loaded rather than using the counter-weight system more common among monolift attachments. As such, they take up a smaller footprint. I have a custom fabricated rack that is too shallow for Titan's monolift arms, for example, but these fit comfortably inside. There is a catch to using the spring-loaded version, however. Until the weights get heavy enough for the springs to fully uncoil (around 135 lbs or so), you'll have to apply downward pressure into the arms to extend them fully to get the "snap back" effect upon unracking. Once this point is kept in mind, the monolift works great. Now I can bench inside my rack and unrack heavy weight by myself without aggravating my old-man shoulders! Perhaps my biggest complaint about its build quality is that there is no way to lock it in securely to your rack (e.g. via hitch pin). Only thing holding it in place is the weight of the attachment, combined with the load on its arms. Also, the back side of the attachment, the side that anchors it to the rack, only extends about 2/3 of the way across the 3 inch tubing (see attached pic). The attachment is advertised as being for a 3" x 3" rack, but it seems better suited for the odd 3" x 2" rack. Maybe these are issues they can address in future versions of this monolift attachment? (This, combined with the previous point, made me wary enough that I secured the attachment using Gorilla tape, which is not a problem for me because I don't plan on removing the attachment once it's set up.)

A favorite among climbers, these rock rings offer new stimulus during pull ups. You can grab the top for open palm work, and it has pockets for four, three, and two (or one) fingers. The synthetic material they're made of offer good traction and take chalk well. They can chip, though, so be sure you avoid banging them into other equipment, especially ones made of metal. It has holes for mounting on a wall, but I like to use them free hanging.

Like all Spud Inc straps, these are built to last. I used to use them for farmer's walk, but ran into the issue of the plates swinging laterally during usage, bumping into my outer calves. For its price point, I think a mini farmer's handles would be a better option.

This is a sleeper pick among budget collars. It has a nob that allows you to adjust the tension level, making it suitable for specialty bars as well.

Got this intending to train grip via pull ups and pulldowns with it. I found it to be better for tricep cable pushdowns. The big balls just feel good against my palms. 😆

I got this from a Sports Authority that was going out of business. I was fairly new to lifting, but I had heard of the "EliteFTS" name and that it represented quality. It's an old-fashioned neck harness and the build quality is what you'd expect from EliteFTS. I won't ever outgrow this thing in terms of weight capacity, etc. However, neck harnesses have innovated since I bought this, e.g. chin strap, side and rear hooks, etc. Simply put, it is not comfortable to use. I used to wear a beanie to help prevent the rubbing against the ears during the "Yes" movement of the head. (But cauliflower ears have since become a symbol of male dominance, so I guess regular neck training with this equipment - sans the beanie - would give one a way of achieving that look without the toils of BJJ.)

I really wanted to give this equipment the benefit of the doubt. Watson sells a similar equipment - at their usual exorbitant price point - and I wanted a more budget-friendly version of a Zercher squat device. In this case, you get what you paid for. The problems I found were twofold. First, the device "bottoms out" before I can get a deep squat (I'm 5' 7"). For a taller user, I don't think that will be a problem, but it's not user friendly for "short kings." Second and more importantly, the tubing at the foot of the device uses a lighter gauge of steel than is needed to support the drops at higher weights. With only 140 lbs, I started to notice that the weight horn started to bend downward after I set it down a bit harder than usual after doing Zercher carries with it. It might be better to save the money and learn to "man up" on Zercher squats/carries, or to invest it elsewhere (e.g. AbMat's Zercher Pad).
