Has been and continues to be the gold standard for deadlift bars. Aggressive knurling and the right amount of whip.

Not cheap. But as well made as a wedge could be I suppose. I really like the width of these more than the smaller individual foot wedges.

It's possible I have a bit of bias on this one, but what's not to love about a designed and made in South Dakota grip tool?? All from ethically sourced Tractor Supply horse stall mats.

The best pad out of all the SSB options out there. They pioneered this design and all the others have tried to replicate it. Pretty reasonably priced especially when you catch it on sale. Down sides is it won't use standard barbell collars, and sometimes the finish wears off bar- but that doesn't negatively effect the utility at all.

I really believe in terms of value and build quality there isn't a better iron plate option out there. The E-coat finish has held up REALLY well after almost 5 years of heavy years. I also have always really liked the aesthetic. Class 4 spoke design. Not too deep, not too thin.
