They do what I need them to do- keep stuff off the floor. I like that I can use their hooks and attachments as well as the normal pegboard accessories (round end).

I have been able to amass 570lbs of these used. I have had no complaints. They seem well made, look great on the bar, tolerances are good and should withstand the test of time. I never really used bumper plates before these but they work as imagine they would and provide me more piece of mind that I won’t be doing damage to my floor when I deadlift on a single layer of horse stall mat. New price would be a little hard to swallow for me.

The 3d printing files for these are available for free. I had my friend print them for me and attached an unused computer monitor and Roku stick to it. I now can just zone out and row but I do still have the PM5 monitor when I want it. https://github.com/apkelly/ErgEmporium

This is the bar I learned to squat with. Aside from the sentimentality, this bar is built like a tank. I use this bar for almost all my squats (back, front, Hatfield, split, etc) as well as JM Press and good mornings. It is annoying that regular collars don’t fit but I use my strength co massenomics ones on it just fine. The black coating is easy to scratch. Shipping: The bar is just inside a cardboard box and the pad is shipped separately. When I got mine the bar had broke through the box and obviously drug across the ground so one of the collars is ugly but still functional. This is the only SSB I have used but I don’t feel a need to go exploring either. I don’t think you can go wrong with it, especially on sale.

I have the 35mm light knurling, I bought the factory seconds version. The perfect upgrade to my powerblocks and I couldn't figure out what made them seconds. For what it's worth, my powerblocks are the Sport Exp and type A fit perfectly.

Got this free with Kohl's cash, and it has pleasantly surprised me. We use it for all kinds of things, and it has held up like a champ. It can hold an impressive amount of weight for the cost and size. We have had 700+ lbs (total) on it doing box squats, and it felt as sturdy as ever. I also like the grippiness of the box for things like step-ups. If you just want a cheap box in this size, I recommend this one.

Works like a wrist roller should work. I get a good wrist and forearm workout and that's all I need it to do for me.
