Great cart for powerblocks, very heavy duty, and has no flex or wobble. The price on this definitely screams “we designed this for facilities but also made it available for individuals to buy” because the welded 2x2 cart is very expensive and overbuilt. I’d highly recommend if you can find it for a deal.

Fine safety bars, that work well for their intended use in professional sports facilities. They are very high profile, require a hitch pin to be safe, and are incredibly expensive. They also probably only work with sorinex racks, which deviate from most with in-line holes. That said, they came with my used rack and work fine for their purpose.

Solid Buffalo bar, I do think it is a bit overhyped. When it first came out it was in a class of its own, and I do love the profile and knurl. I have the black oxide, which is not awesome at corrosion resistance, and the overall build quality on my example could be a bit better. All this said, it’s probably still top 2 Buffalo bars on the market, and if you can pick one up reasonably priced, I’d recommend it.

Cons: A bit expensive and falls over easily. However, having a lightweight deadlift jack my wife can move one handed is invaluable. I also have a 2’x8’ deadlift platform, and most normal jacks wouldn’t work.

I use these things to limber up literally every workout. I never adjust them, but they store out of the way well and do their job.

Good basic strap. Hand holes are a bit small, but this thing is cheap and works great. I find I don’t use it now that I have a long ab strap though.

Great sled. I can’t say I notice much difference between different “good” sled offerings, but this one certainly works as well as a sled can. Doesn’t tip, loads easy, and can push and pull it. They’re big and heavy to ship though, so I’d keep an eye out for used.

Really classes up the place! Fits the rack great, and the stainless looks awesome!
