Product of the Day Recap
Gymnastics rings are a staple in many home gyms, but AbMat recently released this option with a twist. These 1/4 rings were primarily created to replicate the feel of rings during pull-ups without having to deal with a complete ring setup, which can be a nuisance to continue taking on and off. However, they have the ability to do much more, which is explained in the article.
The Force USA Walkthrough Trap Bar is a solid option that’s priced fairly in the middle of the open trap bars on the market. While there are some more polished options out there, those cost nearly double the price of this option. A tool like this will instantly add a ton of versatility to your home gym, and the experience of changing out the weight is about as good as it gets. With a built-in deadlift jack for easy loading and an open frame, open trap bars are much more versatile and convenient than a traditional closed-off trap bar. Rather than just deadlifts, an open-ended frame allows for lunges, Romanian deadlifts, split squats, weighted carries, and other exercises to be done easily. This adaptability aspect is likely just as important as the ability to do deadlifts to a potential buyer.
Remember when there were no kettlebells about a year ago? Rogue went out and quickly found a way to produce them within the USA. First came the E Coat and the Powder Coat. Both are solid, but the E Coat option will be a better option for most home gym owners. Check out the article.
The Transformer Bar is much more than your typical safety squat bar, which seems to be the most popular type of lower body-focused specialty bar. This ambidextrous barbell is easy to use, comfortable, and just an overall powerhouse. While the price is high, it is a high-value option with all that is explained in this article. If you’re able to swallow that upfront cost, it may be a worthwhile investment for you. Someone may enjoy using a certain bar more than any individual setting on the Transformer Bar, but nothing on the market can match this versatility. It’s the GOAT Specialty Bar at this time.
