This holds your barbells. It’s pretty much a decent copy of some other brands. Value wise, when I got this item it was the cheapest option. One complaint I have is that occasionally the plastic protective liners in the holes tend to come out when pulling a barbell out. No biggie but something to note.

This is a decent axle for the price, overall an excellent value. It is great that it can utilize normal collars also. The coating on mine isn’t the best compared to some other brands and has began chipping overtime just with sliding plates off and on.

I was gifted this from fellow supporting member and friend Big Robo. At first I was a bit overwhelmed by the data and how to use VBT alongside my programming through jugg AI. I primarily use it to gauge RPE. Build quality is very good. It’s a piece of electronic equipment but does not seem fragile. The magnets work well with all my barbells and specialty bars. One knock on performance is setup time compared to some other options. Some days it can be a bit annoying setting up the mat and getting app opened up and Bluetooth setup just for your top movement of the day. That really is a minor gripe. Once you build a library of your lifts it is really cool to be able to look back and see all the data it measures. I do remember Robo saying it did not work with his TSS power bar.

Overall, this is a really cool attachment. I really like using it for cable bicep curls and tricep push downs. It really works the forearms while performing the movements. I do knock it a bit for the paint coating. It’s held up great, just still smells like spray paint almost a year into owning it. I would still recommend to anyone, high build quality otherwise. As far as performance goes, for me it does two things. But it does them well.

These are super cool. Marcus, the owner really helped me design them and is a super awesome person. He also makes these works of art and sells them at very fair prices. Cool way to add some personality to your gym.

These are my favorite plates I’ve ever owned. For iron pound plates, they have tight tolerance on the barbell sleeve. The E coat has held up great over the past couple years and the finish still looks great. These plates were weighed when I first got them and are all very close to stated weight, which is not the norm with iron plates in general. They are well worth the price tag. They are also fairly thin by plate standards. Overall, a great product.

Definitely a decent Buffalo style camber bar. Knurl feels grippy but not crazy aggressive. The coating has held up well over the 4 years or so of ownership. This bar serves its purpose. It’s not as high of quality as the Kabuki Duffalo bar or even the Rogue version but it gets the job done.
