This adds fat grip training without having to buy fat bars or fat dumbbells. I have the original Blue Fat Gripz and they are still going strong! Adding these to arm day will elevate your arm training without doing anything different but adding these to the bar. The material is high quality; doesn’t “smush” hardly at all but there is a little give due to the material it’s made out of, compared to just bare metal. The new versions have a bit more texture which is nice, but I don’t see myself replacing these any time soon.

I was having some shoulder issues a few years back. I got a slingshot and it helped me alleviate my shoulder pain. I throw it in at the end of bench sessions once in a while.

Great dumbbell rack, especially the price point! It fits hex dumbbells and rubber coated hex dumbbells well. It’s pretty sturdy and stable for what it is. It was nicer the expected once I got it in. It’s holding up pretty well. At the time of this review I have 10lb increments with 10-40’s top shelf, 50-70’s middle shelf. I eventually want to get some 80’s, 90’s and 100’s for the bottom shelf. Not sure how tight that will be since the top I can fit 4 pairs, second self I can fit 3 pairs, so I don’t know if Id be able to fit all 3 pairs. That probably won’t be for a while as I have some loadable sleeves that I use for above 75lbs.

Very robust and is a killer forearm workout! The quality of this piece is amazing. I like the “Grip Genie” strap as it sets it apart and makes it identifiable. There is a slight knurling to the grips, so it’s not just smooth. It’s not very noticeable, and almost feels smooth, but honestly that probably allows it to feel better in the hand than just the powder coat. I wish the knurling was a little more aggressive.

The angles on this bar, are far superior to any others I’ve tried in gyms over the years. I didn’t know what a quality ez curl bar was until I got a Rogue Ez Curl bar. It’s hard to go back to others when working out away from my home gym. The price could be hard for people to justify, but if you like Ez Curl bars and you enjoy well designed angles. This will be the one! All EZ Curl bars are basically rackable as long as you don’t load the sleeves lol.

I got my Rogue Ohio Bonyard Bar before the prices on boneyard bars went into the 200’s, however, you can still find a good value and save some money. My bar appears to be a bare steel Ohio bar with black cerakote coated sleeves. I even wonders for a while if it might be stainless as it still doesn’t have rust on it and it’s in a garage without AC or heat outside of a space heater in the Midwest. However, I was told if you take off the sleeves, there should be an S stamped on the end. I have no S on either side. When I got my bar I could hardly find any imperfection, I had to hunt for it and I found a couple little imperfection on the finish of the coating on the sleeves, which over time you wouldn’t even be able to tell was there with use from sliding the plates on and off. As well as a little “ding” on the ribbing at the end of the sleeve. Again, would probably happen over time with use. None of which were even really noticeable unless I hunted for it! After using it for years, you wouldn’t have even known it was a boneyard bar if not for the end caps (which are cooler than the standard end caps in my opinion!)

I’ve had these bands for about 18 years give or take a couple years as I can’t remember the exact year I got them. I got them when I purchased P90X 18-20 years ago. These have held up over the years of use with P90X and as a supplemental to having hardly any equipment before I setup my home gym to the its current form. They have hardly any signs of damage, there is only some slight discoloration on the medium band.

This is a great piece of gym kit! It allows you to buy 10lb increments and still get the 5lb jumps without taking up twice the space. My only complaint is it’s harder to re-rack when they are on the dumbbells. Not a deal breaker as the value supersedes this. I have larger hands and these do take up a little extra room on the handle but not enough to make it a problem.
