I'm 38, have been sitting behind a PC for multiple decades, and my lower back hurts to the point it's sometimes hard to sleep at night with a trapped nerve. I say that in case someone can relate. This year I decided to get a bit more serious about health and the gym again. I made a list of my existing equipment, my goals, and my issues (back), fed it to ChatGPT, and got recommendations on what I need to achieve these goals. ChatGPT made me aware of the Reverse Hyper and its use in rehab for lowe...

Training on the device feels fantastic! Really brilliant for the price! However, I have two points that could perhaps be reconsidered: 1) the rubber grips are easily broken off; I would pay around 100-150€ more if you could make the same grips with sensible metal knurling 2) when using the narrowest grips the handpieces hit the pad. If the handpieces were mounted upside down, then this wouldn't be the case, but then the angle of the handpieces is uncomfortable. Hope this feedback helps, I lo...

What can I say guys! I am beyond impressed with your products. They are exactly what I was looking for. The quality is absolutely excellent, could not have made it better. The kettlebell I ordered is sturdy, not slippery and honestly, a pretty good price. I like the pink mark on the 8kg one haha, makes it a bit more girly for me. I want to show endless appreciation for your Customer Service team, Valentina sorted out all the separate issues DHL brought with them in Spain. It took time and patien...

These are great! I'm so sorry I waited so many years to get them, because I already had long small-diameter dumbbells. I considered getting the fixed version but am very glad I ordered the rotating sleeves. Amazing difference for many lifts, esp. cleans. As you can see from the pics, they work great for bench press aided by hangers. In one pic, you can also see how much thinner Strength Shop Riot plates are than another reputable brand (on eithe end). Some reviewers have complained that the h...

I bought the Neoprene Knee Sleeves about a month ago and have been using them roughly twice a week. I feel ready to share my first impressions. While I can’t give a long-term review yet, that would require at least a year of use, I can offer a reliable opinion after several training sessions. I’m a bodybuilder, not a powerlifter, but I do two squat sessions per week. I’ve tried sleeves from non-professional brands before, and the difference with these is noticeable. With a real 7 mm thickness, t...

Normally, I don't write reviews, but my experience with Strengthshop has been so good that I had to share. After finding out about Strengthshop while searching for an adjustable kettlebell, I've already bought two of them in two individual orders in less than two weeks. Both of my orders shipped incredibly fast (I am located in Germany). I was speechless: It took only three days from placing the order to watching the UPS driver carry the heavy package up to my door. The kettlebells were also pa...

The bag has a large capacity and is made of high-quality material. The straps are anatomically shaped and generally comfortable. However, I would prefer them to be a little wider. The interior has Velcro panels that provide shape and can also be used to secure a belt, but I find them uncomfortable; they lock the belt to the bottom of the bag. Any powerlifting belt is moderately heavy and wide, and securing it to the bottom would interfere with the shoe compartment. I would also prefer more pocke...

Die Scheiben kamen super verpackt, sehr schnell an. Der Spediteur war auch sehr nett und bemüht. Natürlich waren sie, wie bereits beschrieben, zum Schutz eingeölt. Das ist aber ein Zeichen der Qualität und kein Makel. Einfach säubern. Die Scheiben wiegen alle das was sie sollen. Abweichungen liegen, wenn sie vorhanden sind, im unteren Toleranzbereich. Was mir besonders wichtig war, ist dass sie auch deutlich leiser sind als normale Gusseisenscheiben ohne dabei soviel Platz auf der Hantel zu brau...
