Drink spotters are for keeping your drinks safe, but equally important is keeping your furniture safe from your drinks. These coasters handle that job admirably.

Nicely made, can get the straps and carabiners to hang from a pullup bar but can also just get the implements. Not super expensive either. Looking forward to the day that i can do a pullup with these- today is not that day. Not tomorrow either.

Got a great deal used on a bare steel version. Like everyone says, fantastic bar, the knurling feels great, love it. I would say that i have done a few 10 rep deadlift sets and it's a bit too aggressive for that (in my probably soft boy opinion), but anything else including heavy low rep sets feels great. The one i got was several years old and had been in a garage but had only the tiniest bit of rust, so even though it's bare steel I'm not expecting it to need too much maintenance in my basement. A plus, five stars, lives up to the hype. I think it would definitely be worth the price to buy new as well.

(4.67) 4/3/2026 Purchased BoS crossmembers and uprights to use with some Rogue uprights that I already had to make a full 4 post rack. The shipping was pretty quick and everything was packaged well so that nothing was damaged en route. Bells uses the same imperial measurements as Rogue, so everything lined up perfectly during assembly. There are a few quirky things that I noticed in mixing and matching. Nothing negative, just differences between companies to be aware of: -Numbering is different; Bells numbers all of the holes on crossmembers and uprights, Rogue doesn't. On uprights this means safeties or j cups are going to be at different numbers at the same height. -Rogue top crossmembers have a different design (flush with top of upright) so the lower bolt goes through a different hole in the upright than the Bells crossmember. This doesn't affect stability or anything but having two top crossmembers that are different means they are not even with each other. So i will need to get another one to make them match if I want to add a Darko anchor or something. -Least important, the "black" of the Bells crossmember is gray. Not nearly as nice as the satin black from Rogue- but i saved some money and they are just as strong and will function just as well.

Added this to my Rogue plate tree like many others and it works perfectly. Although that is because i have spacers on the side pegs- otherwise plates would be bumping into each other. However, in my setup, that still leaves plenty of room on the other pegs even if I accumulate more plates in the future. Price is relatively comparable to other options and it will literally last forever.

What could be better than a true test of strength using that classic of home gyms everywhere. Now, do i have horse stall mats in my basement? God no, the two that i have purchased in my life stunk up my car so bad each time that i had to drive with the windows open for a week. But a tiny rectangle of one with an opportunity to get on a leaderboard? Now we're talking.

I have the same comments as everybody else- these are relatively cheap, they go on a bar or dumbbell easily, and they will work your grip like crazy. Even if you aren't focusing on grip training, these are an easy way to get some extra work in.
