Build quality on this is TBD. But for $230 you get a very whippy deadlift bar that has some unique knurling patterns to cater to our sumo pulling friends. What concerns me is the low tensile strength (130k) and how that might impact the usability of this bar in the long run.

Assuming you're not dropping these, they're pretty decent overall with a few drawbacks. I like how they go up to 92lbs, but it's annoying they have a bunch of non-traditional increments. In older models you got a lot of plate rattle but they cleaned that up a bit in these newer models.

Simplistic but super functional. Almost a must have for any gym where you have a bunch of smaller odds and ends and no real way to store items. I keep everything on my wall control from attachments, sleeves, shoes, ammonia, etc.

It's hard to mess up build quality here when dealing with something so simplistic. You get a lot of value out of the pre bundled kits however and I suggest purchasing these together vs buying individual hook types to save money. The performance on these take a knock b/c it's super easy to dislodge these from the board when you have a lot of them on there with heavier pieces of equipment.

I like the thought of thing, which is a multi use pushing/pulling device that you don't have to worry about skid plates for. However what I found was that the resistance profile on this was all over the place, even after upgrading the kit through Xebex. My kids enjoyed playing on it, but at this price point it just was a miss for me.

These things are a novelty. They're an interesting piece to have on display but they don't hold really any liquid to make them usable (even if you're jacked enough to lift them). These ones are built well and priced better than some alternatives however if you're still in the market.

These little things are super handy and have a nice build quality. Best of all they don't break the bank. Can use these in a variety of ways to suit your desires.

Why has no one made a Koozie with a magnet earlier?
