I went with Lockjaw Pro 2 collars after seeing your collar video a while back. They perform very well and even work decently on EliteFTS specialty bars, which they say you need axle collars for. But honestly if you're just doing basic gym lifts and aren't doing any olympic lifts, the collar you use doesn't really matter.

@TheCarterHomeGym 2 жыл бұрын

I have have the Rogue collars and they are great! They clamp on really tight! I also have some cheap generic collars from Amazon that do the job as well. I only bought the Rogue because they were nicer and a more premium product. The good thing about the cheap generic collars is you can usually find colors to fit your gyms color scheme, and they do the job just fine.

I have the Öppen collars and really like them. They are a little stiff at first, but after a few months, I found that I can flip them open, most of the time, with one hand. Yes, you don't need them, but why not? They aren't "that" big of an investment and you will have them for years. I also have a couple of different Rogue collars (most of my home gym is Rogue stuff) and they are nice as well. The magnets on these are surprisingly useful and I like the weight. Just enough to true up a 44.1 pound bar to 45 pounds, plus a couple of banker ounces, if you use pound plates.

You should review mouth guards for lifting. People can mess up their teeth and/or dental work by gritting their teeth during lifts. Also in theory you can produce more force during your lifts while clenching your jaw.

So would you save space with the attachment or just buy a titain stack pull down instead?

Vintage spinlocks forever! Actually, I use the same Rogue collars featured in the video more than anything. I bring out the spinlocks when I'm using an older bar. It just feels appropriate. But I've never loaded up bumpers and dropped a bar with spinlocks. I think they'd hold. We'll see.

How are you liking those Tru Grit bumpers? I'm always looking for more products in Freedom Units. Speaking of Freedom Units, Hulkfit has a calibrated cast iron powerlifting-style plate in pounds, 2.5 through 45 lb, but no 55 pound plates. Haven't seen any chatter about them yet!

I got the Rogue collars for 25 bucks from the boneyard awhile ago. At that price, they're unbeatable, and honestly I can't tell what got them boneyard status. I use them on my adjustable dumbells, and despite them being clear you're not suppose to drop those they hold up great when I have.

The Eleiko collars are nice-ish but, at best, hit and miss. I handled at a powerlifting meet about a month ago and used these for hours. I had access to several pair. More often than not, the thumb clip was far too tight, requiring way too much force to unclip. I’m just not sure the Eleiko collar solves any sort of problem. No time was saved placing the collar on the side of the sleeve versus sliding it over the end.Save your money and grab a pair of Rogue USA aluminum collars.
