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).

It's part of my "grip wall," along with Ironmind's Rolling Thunder and Captains of Crush, among other equipment. If you want to certify with Ironmind on their pinch grip lift, it's definitely a must. I bought it years ago through Ironmind's website and it cost me around $50 (minus shipping). I was going to dock a star or two regarding value on that basis. But I see that you can buy it through Rogue now at a significantly lower price point. That makes it competitive with other hub-style trainers out there, and well worth the cost.

I bought mine secondhand and it was missing the part in the rear that allows one to attach plates to anchor it down. Despite this, I never felt that it would tip over during use. I would say its build quality is approaching commercial-grade and definitely robust enough for home gym use. It has wheels and is meant to be transported, but I find it awkward to move it around that way. Its key selling point is that it allows for progressive nordic curls. It has various angles (beginning at 25 degrees and ending at 0) through which one can progress in the movement. The Tib Bar Guy has since upgraded their nordic bench, but I think this model is still worth it if you want a way to progress on nordic curls and can find it on the used market for a decent price.

It's basically a deadlift wedge but made out of premium leather, so it has a certain aesthetic appeal. Its build quality is robust and I expect it to last a lifetime under normal use. Performance-wise, it works well if you have 45 lb plates that are nearly all the same in diameter, as it lifts the innermost plate just enough to slide the next one on.

I have the version 1 of these monolift arms by Titan, so my review won't deal with any features introduced in later versions. I've had mine since mid-2017 and it is still holding up fine. I tend to do a "hard re-rack" after a set of squats, and these are more than up to the task. I haven't had the issue that some reviewers mentioned, namely, hitting them on the way up of a squat (but I tend to squat with the pretty upright stance). Their amount of clearance seems just right to me. They are heavy, though, so I wouldn't recommend them if you plan on putting them on and taking them off of your rack each time you use them. They live on my rack permanently on the "squat area" outside. Before I rated its value, I checked Titan's site and its retail price is currently $329. But Titan is also currently running a sale (as they often do), which brings the price down to $215. At that latter price (but not the former), I think this still remains worth it for someone who, for whatever reason, prefers not to walk out a squat, or - another great use of the arms - who wants a more shoulder-friendly method of unracking a bench press.

These are definitely OSO knock offs and my pair is odd in that one holds noticeably tighter than the other. Also, it is sometimes hard to open them up enough to where they'll slide onto the olympic sleeves easily. I got tired of trying to make them work as dependable collars and have put them to other uses in my gym (e.g. see attached pic).

These D-handles are two of the oldest equipment in my gym and they've taken a lot of abuse over the years. They are still holding up great. My only complaint is that the knurling is a bit too passive. Also, some (though not I) might find the squeak of the rotating handles to be annoying, and even a deal breaker.
