Our aim is to get a barbell in every hand and spread the word about Olympic weightlifting and strength training as much as we can. With over 10 years of coaching experience as a team, launching numerous training programs and hosting 200+ seminars worldwide, with countless hours of customer care, we appreciate and love what we do.

With the same approach we create reviews for different fitness products and supplements. We test and rate each product according to its main characteristics to provide our readers with a comprehensive analysis and understanding of its performance. Our review process prioritises customer requirements and satisfaction, and we only include highly rated products in our features.

How We Pick Products


Today there are thousands of diverse sports equipment on the market designed for all athletes’ levels and preferences. Considering such an endless list, it’s obvious that we can’t take all the products and test them in detail. Although, we do our best to pick up the best equipment, gears, and supplements that are really worth your attention. So, we make a thorough and detailed analysis and comparison to bring you consistent and highly informative reviews.

We choose the best products based on the customers reviews, volume of sales, brand awareness etc, using all open sources and services of analysis.

We personally buy the products we review and test them in the gyms we usually train. So, it helps us to feel the item and get to know it closer to define its pros and cons. As a result, we can present an adequate and true assessment of the product. For the products we can’t purchase we use all open sources we can find (scientific research, customer reviews, video and text reviews, photos etc.)

We perform a detailed market analysis in our niche every day, by searching for new and promising items the majority will definitely like. We’re passionate about trying out new products and sharing our experience with you.

For each product type we determine specific characteristics, which we evaluate according to the 10-point scale. Each review has a top pick product that is the best one, and we can offer several items that may differ, but overally are ones of the best in their category. Usually we pick the best product overall, the best budget option,the best premium option,the best for certain categories of users (if possible) in every article, so that each reader can find the most suitable product.
