Metolius Eco Ball Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My friends and I do some heavy weightlifting in another friend's garage. We were running into issues on a hot day with sweat slicking up our hands and making it hard to hold the bar. So we decided we need some chalk, but we didn't want to leave chalk dust all over the garage.
This Eco Ball was *perfect*. It gave us the grip we need, and didn't leave chalk marks all over the floor, equipment, or us. It doesn't even really show up on your hands. The ball is especially useful for keeping the dust under control. I have a feeling that even if I got this kind of chalk outside of the ball form, it would get everywhere.
So, I don't know about rock-climbing, but for weightlifting, this little Eco Ball gets the job done. When we finally use up the one we have, I will definitely be getting another one.

Valeo Chin-Up Bar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'll agree with the other reviewers that this thing is sturdy. I weigh 220 and it holds me with ease. I'll also agree that the placing of the hand grips is bad. The bar extends in one direction, so you end up with a hand grip that is butted right up against the door frame. Yes, you can move the grips. But, 1.) it's a pain, and 2.) your grip will become uneven because the extension pole is smaller in diameter than the stationary pole.
But, for the $$$, it works fine for me. I am planning on putting up a more permanent pullup bar (joist mounted) in my basement, so I won't have to deal with the grip thing much longer.
