This was recommended to me by a great personal trainer/physical therapist after my second round of physical therapy for my post laminectomy/discectomy surgery. I have had this stretch out strap for something like 12 years now. It traveled with me everywhere (work kept me on the road a lot at the time) and allowed me to stay on program for finishing rehabbing my back. I paid like 10-12 bucks back then, it's only up to 15 as of the time of this review, so I'd say the value is pretty good. the loops allow for various and short pull distances, and it's length allowed for setting up to pull different angles. Performance wise, it's as good as you could want it to be and as comfortable as it needs to be. the build quality of the one I purchased has been stellar, no issues with any stitches or fraying. I've only ever used it to stretch out limbes and my back, I've never tried anything that would apply real load (felt or otherwise) to the stitching, so I can't speak for it's ability to act as a daisy chain.

Solid dumbbell rack. Used to hold 5-50 hex dumbbells (and a few loadable dumbbells). It has a reasonable footprint and is plenty sturdy. The finish will wear from setting weights down, but that's to be expected. Excellent price for what you get

Excellent stand at a reasonable price. Getting the dumbbells off a table was great and I can say that after 2 years of excellent service there has never been any cause for concern regarding it's strength. Do make sure that you have the clamps good and tight so that the cradles don't come out of position on accident.

This is a straight from the factory alibaba leg extension / seated leg curl. It is plenty heavy duty. Maybe not big box commercial, but definitely local ymca commercial. I had the weight stack upgraded to 130kg. The strength curve is much improved compared to my previous titan plate loaded machine. After cleaning the unit and lubricating the rods, it is silky smooth. I'm 6'1" and I almost feel small sitting in it. Wife is 5'2 and was also comfortable using it thanks to the multiple adjustment point in the ankle pad. (though did complain about the leg holder hurting a bit [could use more padding] -1 performance star). The felt weight definitely felt like weight. Leg day now includes no less than 3 seated movements. I really like the handles up top for leaning into leg curls. I originally had the titan plate loaded because I missed the movements in my home gym and finally upgraded to this which completely satisfies that commercial feel I used to enjoy. As always: If you go with alibaba, choose a guaranteed vendor, ask as many questions as you can think of. request ddp shipping to your door(residence) and request a lift gate and pallet jack.

Since most Urethane Dumbbells are whitelabel from china anyway, I decided to take a gamble on a set of 5-100 straight from the source. The handles are almost 6 inches long which seem huge compared to a standard cap hex dumbbell. the grips are straight so microgainz fit perfectly with plenty of space and don't move. The knurling is about the same as a cap dumbbell, not terribly aggressive at all. They do require a bit of cleaning upon arrival since the QC is not what it would be if it went through rep or rogue. there are some light scuffs on the surface of some of the dumbbells and for that I'm going to take a quality star away, but honestly, for the price, they are very easy to ignore. Since they are urethane they don't have the usual used tire smell, but they do have the "I came directly from a factory floor" smell. I recommend giving them a day after cleaning to air out, I'm on day 4 and the stall mats have firmly re-established dominance. I spot checked dumbbells from 5 - 50 on a postal scale. each were above the listed weight, the highest discrepancy was 12 ounces on the 25 lb bell. I am very pleased with the accuracy (performance). This was a part of my second order with alibaba. make sure you ask questions, make sure you understanding the shipping side. I ordered using DDP shipping, that's where the seller assumes responsibility for all duties paid and getting it to your front door, most of the factories have a shipping broker they work with. make sure to request a lift gate and a pallet jack (mine had a motorized pallet jack this time and drove everything right into my shop). If you go through the link I posted, make sure to talk to Karen and let her know Patrick sent you.
