I’ve had this rack for 5 years and I’m completely satisfied with it. When I first started looking for racks I was contemplating cheaper racks from other brands, but I decided to go with the Rogue Monster Lite line with the 5/8 holes and west side hole spacing. I didn’t want a rack I would have to bolt to the ground, but I still wanted something sturdy. This totally fits the bill! In instillation as pretty straight forward and pretty easy to do. It’s heavy enough to stays put pretty well. If you’re slamming the weight into the Jcups you may move it a little over time, especially if you’re not on rubber floors. This is a great and safe rack, the only thing you can’t really do with a flat foot rack is use band pegs for band work. I mean; you can, but you risk potentially lifting/moving your rack if you’re strong enough as the rack weighs 295lbs. Also, I don’t think you’re supposed to use attachments like the Pritchett pad either. So it does have its limitations. Just like anything, there is a give and take. I do believe that you can buy some mounting brackets if you do decide to bolt it to the floor for you to be able to use that, but that just removes the whole reason you probably got a flat footed rack. There is also no numbers laser etched like other racks. So I used a white out tape to mark holes. Some people buy those magnets and others just use a paint pen or chalk. I’m pretty happy with this purchase and don’t see the need to upgrade to anything else. I’ll probably end up passing this down to grand kids lol.

I got bit by the grip bug a few years back, so needless to say I had to buy some Captains of Crush Grippers. I have the Trainer, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 & 3. I have yet to close the 2.5 and 3 but I hope to eventually. These feel very well made and have been known as the gold standard of grippers. They can have a squeak to them that can get annoying. I have dropped a drop of 3 in 1 oil on them when they get squeaky. The knurling is great and feels good in the hand. If you’re going to get grippers, might as well get the “gold standard”. The picture shows the 2.5 and 3’s when I first got them. They all sit nicely on my desk and I use them during the day. Just wanted to show them in the packaging so you could also see the weight ratings. If you’ve never done them, they are harder than you think. Start lower and just build your set up. Just like dumbbells it’s nice to have lighter and heavier grippers.

I pieced these together over years, the 10’s I have are probably 30 years old. 20’s I picked up 20 years ago, the 30’s I picked up probably 15 years ago (the rest of my dumbbells are other brands). These aren’t anything fancy and get the job done. The 10’s being the oldest have a lot more chipping on the outer coating. The 20’s and 30’s are a lot better on the finish with no real flaking or chopping. One of the 30’s when used almost feel like it has some sort of void inside and you can feel it in vibration and almost hear it when it clanks of ether with the other dumbbell. I’ve wondered if this one will break over the years but it seems fine. The weight isn’t affected either. The 20’s and 30’s each had a little “slag” near the hex heads that I had to file down because it was sharp and could cut your hand if you weren’t careful. Over all they do what they are supposed to and have lasted for decades. They were all picked up from Walmart over the years too. I’d probably get them again if I had to, but I prefer the two “USA Sports Hex Dumbbells” I have for 40’s and 50’s. There is no real texture or knurling on the dumbbell handles. They are a basic dumbbell and not a premium option.

This is a very cool piece of kit that allows you to work on different portions of your bench like board presses. This locks onto the bar and holds snug. I have the Large and like it for when I focus on bench.

I really like this in comparison to just putting a V-grip cable attachment under the bar like people have done for years. This is a great handle and feels good using it to do landline rows on back day! I like how your can also use it as a jack stand for loading plates onto the bar. The powder coat finish started chipping off of the hole after a few uses but that’s expected when you have metal on metal contract.

These are fantastic collars and hold tight! They are really snug on my valor fitness log sleeve, which caused the lever on one to not fully lock open anymore but it doesn’t effect the hold on the bars when I use them. I would highly recommend these. My favorite collars I’ve used over the years.

I got these in a pull-up package, and mainly picked them up due to 3 ships free, but I use them for some knee movements as well using them for pull ups once and a while. I don’t do too many pull ups like I should so I don’t use them as often, but they are nice to have!

This works well to hold my barbells. It gets them off the floor and the vertical orientation takes up less space and makes things look clean!
