GORUCK’s GR1, touted by the company as “the greatest (ruck) of all time” is the company’s flagship product of its flagship line of bags.

Sporting higher-end materials (with a higher-end price tag to match) and one of the best warranties we’ve seen in the rucking industry, there isn’t much not to like in this bag that truly has something to please everybody.

The MAJOR FITNESS PLM03 represents a slightly niche offering in the crowd of home gym half rack options. It’s full rack configuration facilitates squatting in ways that many others cannot.

The RitFit bar…despite boasting both an attractive price point and coating, the bar’s low tensile strength and almost non-existent spin only make it an appropriate choice for a very specific lifter.

If you’re just getting started and/or can snag it at a discount in a package deal with a RitFit rack set, it might be worth a look.

The Total and the Powerlift 5

Neither of these shoes are the top of the line options for serious powerlifting competitors, but for reasonably low-priced shoes, each is a solid option and each shoe has characteristics that make it ideal for a certain type of lifter.

The M1 is definitely a more “complete” piece of equipment. Being fully capable of accommodating free weight, Smith Machine, and cable pulley exercises ensures that just about anybody would wear themselves out long before they ran out of exercises to try.

However, the PSR05 is a pretty nice basic Smith Machine, with included accessories and overall accessory compatibility putting it a few steps ahead of other “standard” Smith Machines.

The GORUCK Rucker 4.0 Constructed to perfectly and comfortably accommodate a (GORUCK-branded) ruck plate and with numerous handles and other ruck training features, the Rucker lives up to its training ruck designation.
