If you're reading a review of a Finnish ball trainer, then you're likely already deep down the rabbit hole of grip toys. Just buy it. Your spouse has already lost track of these things. Fun key pinch training tool that's considerably easier to acquire than the original from otevoima.

Strong collars. Great for deadlifting, ahem, for reps.

Bought these to belt squat off of my low row. Turns out I don't like belt squats, so now they mainly are a pedestal for my scale. PITA to assemble.

They provide a suitable place to rest a barbell when not using it. No frills. Zero concern about them holding the weight.

This is a rare case where the low quality is the exact feature I was looking for. The thin spinning handle allows me to turn all 3 sizes of fat gripz into spinning thick handles.

Honestly a really nice and affordable group training tool. The spin is better than most rolling handles. The knurled plastic handle is pretty slick and does not take chalk very well leading to a very challenging grip workout. It's a bit on the thicker side, but for folks with large hands, this is a great first grip training tool.

I bought these at my wife's request as she wanted something a bit easier to use than standard locking collars. They're pretty fun and work fine for most lifts. As others have mentioned, they do not pass the "for reps" test on deadlifts.

When you're as bad at benching as I am, you need safeties you can trust. I haven't died yet, and I've failed plenty of reps. I wish there was a second hole for a mag pin to prevent then from rotating. I put my leg roller in these for Bulgarian split squats and need to be mindful of which side I feed the roller through
