Unlike traditional kettlebells, U-Bells have a unique design that prevents the weight from hitting and resting on your wrist for support.

Company	Product	Description
REP	15 KG & 20 KG Weightlifting Bars	Both are in compliance with the IWF’s specs for male and female competitors. The 15 KG & 20 KG bars also include a hybrid needle-bearing sleeve construction that should provide a smooth and consistent rotation for Olympic lifts.

AbMat	Saxon Grips	These grips help mimic a Saxon Bar, a common “pinch grip bar” that can be attached to any standard barbell or loadable dumbbell. Possible lifts include pinching lifting for deadlifts, suitcase deadlifts, farmers’ carries, bicep curls, clean and press, and more. Anyone who wants to improve their grip can benefit.
Fringe	MagPegs	It’s over 9 inches and fits multiple squat rack options. They are backed by a lifetime warranty with a stainless steel pin and an anodized aluminum head.
Fringe	Blue Falcon Training Sled	This is both cost-effective and convenient, boasting easy storage, disassembly, and transportation. Additionally, it comes equipped with replaceable steel skids that can be swapped out as needed and is suitable for use in both pushing and pulling exercises.
PRx	Build Limitless® Ripcord	This is very similar to the Rogue Plate Loaded Slinger, but also includes a low-row option. Thus, you could say it’s somewhat similar to the UPS, but you need to mount it (like the slinger).
Exponent Edge	Infinity Arm	includes six angles to adjust on your upright, and the ability to move the pad 360 degrees; it uses UHMD to protect the rack and can be stored up against the rack when not in use.
Bells of Steel	Bells of Steel Air Rower 2.0	The Bells of Steel Air Rower 2.0 seems to be nearly identical to the Concept 2 option, with a worse monitor but at a lower price.

Giant	SSB	Even though it weighs in at 69 lbs, this seems to be a pretty standard SSB release these days (relatively similar to Titan & REP’s), but it does come at a pretty good price point.
Clench	Helix Adjustable Dumbbells	Heavy duty adjustable dumbbells with no plastic components between plates.
Bells of Steel	Ski Trainer	Bells of Steel has added another Concept2 lookalike with this ski trainer.

July 2023

Company	Product	Description
AbMat	Floor Press Pad	This new pad via AbMat was designed with Steve Ferrell of Bench Blokz. It was developed to make floor pressing more comfortable and convenient. This pad was created with the same materials used for the Thompson Fat Pad, so it should be extremely comfortable.
F& F Steel	Kaizen Rack Spacers	Kyle from Kaizen DIY brings another innovative product to the market, and it’s for anyone that owns a 2×2 or 2×3 rack. These racks do not have the wide variety rack attachment options that 3×3 owners do.
Bulletproof Fitness	The Solo Stand Deluxe	from Bulletproof Fitness: Bulletproof continues to add around The Isolator with another stand.
Bulletproof Fitness	The Solo Stand Deluxe	includes a single post that can be folded up and stored away. It’s quite a bit more cost-effective than the Tri-Post option (3x more expensive) and takes up even less space.
Bells of Steel	Magnetic Clamp Collars	It’s a luxury you don’t really know until you try it. Bells of Steel just launched some new magnetic clamp collars at a very good price so that you can store them on your rack.
REP	Urethane & Steel D-Handles	have been added to the attachments offered by REP. These come in at a much cheaper price than the “Pro-Series” option.
GymPin	The Holey Bar	combination of a basic t-bar attachment & the GymPin Lite D Handle Bar. Therefore it can be attached to a barbell or cable system.
Darko Lifting	The Dock	Darko has come up with another rack attachment to store your barbells (and potentially other attachments). This one uses the uprights and is called ‘The Dock,’ where there are two options – the J-Anchor & Double J-Anchor.
F&F Steel	Kaizen Multi-Link	This is another product Kyle from Kaizen DIY helped bring to the market with F&F Steel. This allows you to combine multiple close-range pulley cables into one.

REP	Double Black Diamond Power Bar	This is REP’s new premier power bar with a very aggressive knurl. It includes specs similar to other high-end power bars. Cerakote to SS options are available. The starting price is very reasonable.
REP	Colorado Bar 20kg	With a 28.5 mm diameter and medium knurl, this is your “everyday barbell” that can be used for just about anything. Cerakote and hard chrome options are available.
REP	Colorado Bar 15kg	With a 25 mm diameter and medium knurl, this is your “everyday barbell” that can be used for just about anything and is the common size you’d find most women using for CrossFit. Pink and black Cerakote and hard chrome options are available.
REP	Helios Squat Bar	This one is designed specifically for squatting. It features several features that make it ideal for this purpose, including a 32mm shaft diameter, so there is no flex with higher weight, longer length, weighs 55 lbs, and an aggressively knurled center. It includes an all-black look with a black Cerakote shaft and Duracoat sleeves.
REP	Hades Deadlift Bar	This bar is specifically designed so you can deadlift the heaviest weight possible. It includes a very aggressive knurl, 27mm diameter, and longer length. There will be a good amount of “whip” when lifting heavy weight. It also includes an all-black look with a black Cerakote shaft and Duracoat sleeves.
PRx	Build Limitless® Axis Pad	This Made in the USA & flexible rack attachment features nine adjustable angles (compared to 7 from Bells of Steel) that range from -90° to 30°, making a versatile add-on to your rack. You can use it for various exercises such as chest-supported rows, standing incline presses or curls, step-ups, and pulley work. It attaches to any 3″x3″ upright with 5/8″ holes and 4″ spacing.
Titan	Warrior Kettlebell:	This limited edition kettlebell includes a unique skull design, wide handle, powder coat finish, & weighs 50 lbs.
Kabuki	Kabuki Transformer Bar by Rogue	The primary additions include an additional detent pin for locking the adjustable sleeve into its bracket and a new Proprietary Matte Black bracket finish + markings for each sleeve and pin position. Overall, there isn’t too much of a change, but it looks better and should be easier to use.
Titan	Elite Series Power Barbell	This bar is priced incredibly well for an aggressively knurled power bar with a 220k PSI (pictured below), 29mm shaft, and Hard Chrome Coating. This comes from Titan.
Titan	Performance Series Power Barbell:	This is another budget option from Titan. For $149.99 this one includes a medium knurl, 29 mm shaft, 165k PSI, and chrome coating.
Fringe	Mammoth Belt Squat	In collaboration with Kyle from Kaizen DIY Gym, Fringe Sport has released the Mammoth Belt Squat. This rack attachment seems to be a solid option priced in between something like Revolt and the more expensive rack-mounted belt squat arms (Sorinex J-Squat, for example). For just a bit more than the option from Revolt, it includes quite a bit more features and seems like a much better option.
Darko Lifting	Thresher Pad	This new pad is primarily designed to attach to take your spotter arms to the next level. It includes five adjustable angles and can be used for exercises such as dumbbell rows, reverse chest flyes, This Made in America product appears to be rock solid – created with steel, powder coat finish, custom grippy pad, and a seat liner to protect your spotters and uprights from scratches.
Havak	Stealth Triad	Through a partnership with Pepin Dumbbell, the signature Triads have been upgraded. The Stealth Triads include the same multi-grip design but will be quicker to load (help fix #1 complaint), have upgraded locking pins, and look nice with an all-black finish.
Havak	Triad Cable Handles	These handles include a similar design as traditional Triads but are designed to be used with cables.
AbMat	Zercher Pad	Most would likely never perform a zercher squat/exercise because it just isn’t comfortable. The Zercher Pad is designed to make zercher squats, carries, and lunches more comfortable! You’ll simply need to add the pad onto a racked barbell, and wala! This product was inspired by Christana Lazo who is a powerlifter and part of the AbMat team. She is pictured below.

May 2023

Company	Product	Description

April 2023

Company	Product	Description
Force USA	Leg Press/Squat Combo	The primary complaint of the Force USA Leg Press/Squat Combo was that it did not allow everyone to get a full range of depth. However, that has been updated, and it now allows for you to o below 90 degrees if necessary.It was a solid option before, but this, along with its updated look, makes it something for many considering this machine a top option.
REP	FT-3000 Compact Functional Trainer 2.0	The updated FT-3000 includes a lighter design with an even smaller profile than the original, upgraded pulleys, an extended cable range, and MORE.
Titan	Nemesis Single Stack Functional Trainer	This now includes “longer arms and fewer moving parts while maintaining the ability to train in over 1,000 explosive strength training positions.”
Rhino	Rhino Horn Magpin	The newest magpin comes from Fringe. I believe this is the only one with a “pierced nose” design, which helps hold the magpin in place in case it does pop loose. Additional features include a stainless steel pin, and an anodized aluminum head.

March 2023

Company	Product	Description
Force USA	Hack Squat Add-On	Force USA is well known for having one of the best compact leg press options. They recently added a Hack Squat add-on to this option, which seems promising.
Rogue/Woodway	Curved Treadmill	Rogue partnered with Woodway to bring another curved treadmill to life. This option is similar to other non-motorized treadmills, but is definitely sleek, includes an updated monitor, and is priced reasonably (somewhat surprisingly).
Rogue	Pritchett Pad	This was designed in collaboration with strongman legend Jerry Pritchett. This rack attachment designed to help with chest-supported rows doesn’t not need additional hardware, can be used with landmines, and is $295 before shipping.
Marrs Bar	Marrs Bar 2.0	includes shorter sleeves and weighs just 35 lbs, which is almost less than half of the original.
Surplus Strength	The Stealth Spotter Arms	take up just three holes on the rack, include 10 laser cut and numbered holes on the sidewall, include 1/4″ UHMW protection on all mating and barbell-facing surfaces + more!

February 2023

Company	Product	Description
Kleva Built	The Genesis Jack Evo	deadlift jack from a collaboration with AbMat and Kleva Built and a cheaper alternative to the Genesis Jack 2.0. I can personally attest to its strength. It feels just as strong as the other and weighs under 1 pound! It’s a very impressive tool.
REP	The FT-5000 2.0 Functional Trainer	includes higher/lower handles, lighter/slimmer/easier to adjust trolleys, additional grips for pull-up station, and just an overall sleeker look.
GymPin	Belt Squat Collar	Kaizen DIY Partnered with GymPin for another product. This time it’s an attachment to help with landmine belt squats (belt squat collar). Adding a longer and adjustable arm makes it much more versatile than a traditional strap. The code GGE will save you 10% off your orders from GymPin.
Rogue	Hybrid Power Bar	The specs on this bar are highlighted by the 2XAGGRO Knurl, Stainless Steel, Proprietary Matte Black Finish on sleeves, and a 28.5 MM shaft. The largest difference between this and any other Rogue power bars is the 28.5 MM Shaft, where Rogue states: “the narrower design benefits athletes that incorporate Olympic lifts into their powerlifting program, as it makes the hook grip easier to achieve.”
American Barbell	Chewy Bar	American Barbell has added this power bar to the lineup. It’s made in the USA, includes a stainless steel shaft/hard chrome sleeve, 190K Tensile Strength, aggressive knurl, and patented/signature recess TIG weld. In addition, they use “stainless steel internal snap rings and composite bushings to keep it quiet, tight, and long-lasting.”
AbMat	Pivot Pad	The Pivot Pad turns any squat rack and barbell setup into a variable-height hip thrust machine. The pad performs like a commercial-grade hip thrusting machine at a fraction of the price – and footprint. The pad has a soft foam exterior and rigid core.

January 2023

Company	Product	Description
Titan	Open Trap Bar	This Open Trap Bar appears to be built like a tank. While we still need to see more reviews, and it’s not quite as versatile as the REP option, it seems like it checks most of the boxes.
Rogue	Heavy Rail	This new item from Rogue is a 3×3″ – 11-gauge steel tube that mounts to the base of a wall for several purposes (plate storage, specialty bar/bar, landmine, etc. It seems pretty versatile. It comes in a Monster Lite or Monster option.
United Fit	Camber Bar	This multi-grip camber bar includes adjustable camber levels, an “X” Taper for ergonomic overhead pressing, and pin-removable horns for compactable cable attachment.
Surplus Strength	Speed Pins XL	These speed pins (magnetized hitch pins) are strong enough to hold any rack-mounted attachment, and Surplus claims they will not damage the finish on your rack – which is something that some cheap options do (use code GGE to save 5%).
