I don't love many of the business practices of IronMind, but it's tough to argue against the LBH being the gold standard cone or anvil style grip implements.

Got this as a gift, and it's definitely a premium option to hang up some bars on the wall. UHM liners on the surfaces that bars touch, which is nice

It holds barbells and was one of the cheapest options I could find. I keep my saxon and axle bars in this. Don't see any need for a more expensive option.

Probably the gold standard for saxon bars right now. There are more premium options, but you can definitely get strong with these with very few sacrifices. I have both the 3x4 and 2x5 versions. I am not very good at all at lifting them.

Feels odd rating this 5 stars, but it's exactly as advertised. It was a pretty negligible upcharge vs the standard pull-up crossbar. Great for dead hangs

I have these as my main plates because my wife liked the way they looked, and I know better than to argue value with her. They're extremely nice plates with tight tolerances. Aside from the price, my only complaint is that it's very difficult to completely clean chalk off of them (edge of nearest 5 lb plate in the picture has been wiped with a damp cloth). Minor detail, but transparency is my passion.

Built like a tank. This implement is very common in grip contests, so it's a decent tool to have in the arsenal. I don't love that you have to buy it in pairs though. The connection point is also too bulky for many styles of carabiner. Takes chalk really well.

This is a great grip training tool. I do a lot of my cable rows and pulldowns with this (2" version). The smooth plastic handles are challenging. Chalk doesn't help much, so it's a convenient mess-free grip option. The clips for changing out the handles are PITAs though.
