So this is more a critique of my experience with purchasing this product and also what I received even after they made it right. So there’s a super long lead time for Surplus Strength, and that’s fine and all because they state it prior to purchase. After waiting that long lead time, you expect it to be a usable product prior to them shipping it to you, right? I mean QC has to at least use a piece of 3x3 upright to make sure fitment isn’t an issue, right? Well I received it and it was beat up with powdercoating flaking off and that’s fine because I’m going to beat it up lifting but the right arm can’t even go on my rack because the pin was too canted. So I contacted them and then it took an additional 2 and a half weeks for me to get my replacement arm. The one I got was also flaking but hey, it’s now going to fit on my rack. It did work and now I have two usable spotter arms. For the price you pay and the long lead times, you just expect a more polished product. But it’s not to say I don’t like these because they are the OG smaller spotter arms and they work really well.

I bought it when I got my rack and didn’t really know what other benches were available besides this one. Can’t say I’m not happy with it because it’s solid and does what it was meant to do. I used to move the commercial gym benches around and so I was just used to them being somewhat heavy. I see other benches with all the attachments and stuff but I find this to just be old reliable and pretty happy with keeping it instead of changing it out. I swapped out the pad to a Darko one and it’s super comfortable with the sticky vinyl and more cushioning. Highly recommend that mod if you don’t like the pad.

Perfect solution for my half rack. It holds that stupid SSB bar that I can’t find myself to sell because I do still use it. Its actually almost the only way for me to store such a bar without it getting in my way. The build quality is really good and the customizable colors are a nice touch. I also use this to also store the Rogue Mg4cn bar that’s also a weird one to store and it holds it well. Highly recommend this storage solution for anyone wanting to get bars out of their way but still have access to it.

I got these but in the knurled option with a center ring for belt squat handles. It has a double ended bolt that connects it to my upright but can also take a threaded hand bolt to use as individual handles that are THICK. Looking to pair these with a Rorman Strength Capstone so I don’t have to keep screwing in my rack and just use a magpin to install. The price on these are cheap and the semi-aggressive knurled is great.

Turn on incognito mode while you throw on the Horn Hub. Everyone always assumes Darko just 3D prints everything but THESE are heavy steel and can hold serious weight. The color scheme can match your rack and another great thing is that this only takes one hole on your upright. American made and it’s a small quality of life improvement that’s worth it.

Use these for my pendulum squat with a Voltra. Since my horns are angled up, the ankle bands I used before would bunch up and it would look janky. These are a cleaner, more robust, and more versatile.

The ability to customize your storage solution is addicting and also allows you to constantly tweak things to your liking and also your changes in taste. The different attachments make storage flexible and also allows for weird things to be off your floor. Believe the hype on these and get yourself a couple panels.

I got two of these on my Titan Lat Pulldown machine to hold a barbell and a mace on the same upright. I used one bolt and man it saves me what would’ve been unused space which we all know is at a premium in our home gyms. Love the color scheme and the build is excellent. Highly recommend this!
