If you are wanting some vintage weights in your gym for daily drivers that you are likely to find near you and at an okay price, these are great for that. The look and feel just screams strong. These are well worth considering as your main choice for plate.

These are my go to sandbags. I have had a few other brands and I like the feel and durability of these the most. Sandbags tend to get looser over time as the canvas stretches out with the weight. That still happens with these, but I have found it to be a bit less pronounced. I have been pretty rough with these bags both inside and outside and have never seen an issue with any damage. I do have a code with them, Code PSYCH saves you 10%, but I spent probably $800 of my own money over a couple years with them before I applied for a code. I do have other bags that are good enough and I don't feel a need to swap out, but any new bags I get are these.

These plus the rubber coating are totally worth the extra money to go with your wall control panels. I do have normal pin hooks as well, but for attachments, these provide greater security and stability for the weight.

For the money I really do think this is a great stand for the rep x pepins. The cart is their other option and I am not a fan of how big it is and how it does not allow you to fully step into the stand to pick the DBs. This is great for that and the wheels are easy to roll around to help with setting up use for your exercise. The slots for the add on plates are great. I am a fan of the toaster design. My top pick is still the Black Widow stand, but I get why some can’t go that route. I think this is a good alternative. If this is too expensive then you can get the titan stand, but you will be making some serious compromises in comforts for use. A DIY stand could also be good I guess as well.

I do have the older design for these, but those are no longer for sale. These are functionally similar, but do have a cleaner look to them and a knurled twist pin. These function great and come with the fancy sticker telling you they are approved by someone important apparently. If you want comp collars these are a great option.

There are a few IG ads you will get for equipment that will actually turn out to be a great buy, and this is one of them. Now I do think they make some large claims with the range in use for this, but it does have wide application if you get creative. I don't think it does that many things well enough to warrant saying it does all those things, but I have found them good for using as a set up for Viking press and a dumbbell for weighted dips/ pull ups. They can also be good for hooking handles onto for landmine rows. Worth it for the Viking press alone in my opinion. The securing pins for the UHMW fall out all the time. It does not fall apart as a result, but it is a pain. I should add some super glue to just keep them in. You could toss them I guess, but I prefer not to.

Tried and true grippers. If you want to train these types of grippers you will be happy with these. That being said, I don’t find these to be a great true grip strengthening exercise. They can be if programmed, but there are other better ways to truly train your grip. I view this more as a grip tester or an event in itself. They are good quality and maintain their resistance over time.

Such an incredible adjustable bench. Truly almost 0 wobble regardless of the angle you put it in. Leg roller for decline situps or incline press works great. The foam pad is hard as a rock and is well worth changing out for the vinyl pad. The vinyl pad is a nice firm standard sized pad, but with the grip of the fat pad. I believe the foam pad comes with the texture black finish. Any other coating comes with the vinyl pad. You can order the pads individually if you buy it used. Any Rep bench will be a better bang for buck, but this is truly a better bench. Not worth the extra cost new. Might not be worth the extra cost used.
