Yes4All Barbell Holder Vertical Storage Rack for Olympic Bar (5 Bars, 9 Bars) Review:


My multi-grip bar absolutely needed a holder since, twice, without it, I had laid it on the ground and it had flipped onto my bare feet (Son of a @$!@#). I purposely shove the Yes4all bar holder after I insert the bar to evaluate its stability. It is solid and stands good and flat on my wooden floor with its weight. Additionally, as others have mentioned, it is much preferable to be able to stand those heavy bars up and out of the way when working in a tight space than to have to maneuver around your equipment and run the danger of tripping over it (a true foot saver). The fact that I bought it on sale (from $61.50 to $38) is an added bonus. Why pay more for a logo when the product accomplishes precisely what it is meant to do, whether it is on sale or not, and does so well? Despite the fact that my multi-grip bar is a Titan, I refused to pay more so that the items' logos would match.



PRx Performance Double Barbell Storage, Wall Mounted Hanging Bar Holder, American Steel, Black Powder Coated, Space Saving Commercial or Home Gym Accessory Review:


Wow, this carries a ridiculous amount of bars—like, two more than I actually own.I used to have a stand-alone weight rack with dual-bar storage, which is a large, steel, space-consuming piece of equipment. These take up no floor space and keep the bars off the ground and out of my way. They appeal to me a lot.



RIGERS Vertical Wall Mounted Barbell Holder - 4 Bars Hanger - Barbells Storage Rack, Weight Bar Holder, Garage Gym Bar Wall Rack Review:


This vertical barbell holder is excellently made. I mounted it on a garage wall with studs spaced 16" apart. The required lag screws are included. To protect the barbells, it includes hefty, thick protective plastic on the back and the horizontal lip. Due to a window, I had also thought about gun rack-style mounting; nevertheless, the vertical solution worked much better for me and was more space-efficient. I'm thrilled with the mount.



Yes4All Horizontal Wall Mounted Olympic Barbell Rack, 3 Bar or 6 Bar Options (Pair) Review:


I needed this in order to complete my home gym and remove the bars from the rack when not in use. I'm regarded as the anti-Bob Villa since I'm probably not paid enough to spin a screwdriver. This installation was so easy that even I could complete it in about a half-hour. My wife and I both adore the appearance and the way it truly highlights the gym. Yes4All produces top-notch gear. Definitely, I would advise.



GoFit Padded, Adjustable Ankle Weight Set – Comfortable Training and Rehabilitation Gear Review:


These are ideal for my requirements. In water walking, I use them as ankle weights. used 1/4 of a pound at first to get accustomed to the resistance. Despite not being described as water gear, they are 100% polyester, so there shouldn't be any issues. None of the bars rust. After the pool, I remove the weights, wash them in a solution to remove chlorine, and hang them to dry (I'm not sure they require this, but my locker is small, so they don't get enough air to dry, so I bring them home). Although it isn't a drawback, the empty weight pockets retain water, so you'll also want to push it out. I'm glad I acquired them.



CAP Barbell A Frame Olympic Plate Rack, Dark Gray Review:


Arrived today, put together in within 15 minutes. You'll need a wrench because it doesn't come with all the required tools. Although the fit between the pieces is adequate, the finish is good. As soon as the nuts and bolts are really tight, the assembled product is fairly stable.The major reason I gave it only four stars is because of a small but foolish design flaw: it's really challenging to fully tighten the upper pegs (see photo). With some jiggling and quick spins, I was able to get them relatively snug, but the issue would have been solved if the pegs had been moved down slightly. It simply seems like a very ill-considered choice to set the pegs so high because it's not like they're that high so they can fit full olympic bumper plates (see other reviewer adapting the stand to suit bumper plates).Other than that, assembly went smoothly, and the finished item is attractive. Although I'm not sure if the bolt for the bottom peg would prevent the object from rocking on a hard, flat surface, it is quite stable on rubber gym flooring. If your gym has a hard floor, you should take that into account.
