We have legitimately tested more than three dozen Olympic collars. And when we say test, we mean we throw them, drop them, and see how much weight they can hold.
We have spent years lifting with collars and know which ones are good for a home gym and which crack under pressure-literally. Check out our video to learn what made our best barbell collars list.

I have the Rogue Metal, Rogue Aluminum, and the Eleiko, and I like them all. I do mostly SBD lifts and never had an issue with any of them. Its nice to have a variety so you can choose based on your mood, lol. The good thing about the Eleiko is the weight. .25kg each adds just over a pound, so if you use a 20kg bar it brings that to just over 45 pounds, which makes calculating weights easier when using your 45 pound plates, and the magnets are unexpectedly useful. Rogue is still my go to brand in general for just about everything, and all three I have are all great collars for my purposes. Love the reviews. Keep 'em coming!

I’m not a fan of the smart gym technology. So it’s nice to see more reviews of the simple things.

@DampRaccoon 2 года назад

Coop needs to read recent SYQQ collar reviews and change what he implied here - that they are top tier, but not recommended just because of cost. Many damaged barbells out there already because of his praise here for them... Even for those that do work properly, I saw videos on RU-vid and they damage the bar by putting little dents in wherever the ball bearings meet sleeves if you drop the bar and stuff like that (putting extra force on those concentrated areas).

@stephencaserta2969 2 года назад

I workout in my garage, no heater, temps drop below zero during the winter. If you are in a similar boat, id recommend not going with plastic collars as they will easily break in those temps. An all metal design is probably best. I have the magnetic rouge ones that Coop mentions and they have so far held up really well

@eggs-benny 7 месяцев назад

@GavinBrown 2 года назад

Hi Coop. You mentioned the OSO magnetic collars due to their magnets, but Rogue have also brought out a magnetic version of the Aluminium collars. Slightly different shape, almost a cross between the original OSO collars (which I love) and the Rogue Aluminium collars. Might be good to review them, do they still hold as well, do the magnets scratch etc. Also, any experience with the cerakote versions and wear and tear with use compared to the bare version.

@claycon 6 месяцев назад

Thx for the update Coop ! ✌🏻

@mlazansky 2 года назад

Coop the one thing you keep forgetting to mention that makes the Oppen collars great is they can be taken off even after you've loaded more plates on the outside of the sleeve. Every workout at least once I forget to take off my collar and load a plate. For any other collar, I have to pull the plate back off. With the Oppen, I just slip the collar off and push the weight flush. Just a nice little way to avoid a very common hassle.

@GarageGymReviews 2 года назад

Fantastic point. Truly. I will include this next time I discuss them. Thank you!

@gumbygreeneye3655 2 года назад

Also the magnet means you can attach weights on the outside without unlocking it.

@BriColinceej Год назад

As always, a lifesaver! Thanks for this!

@GearMashers 2 года назад

So you are missing 2 collars. Rogue Beefed up their Aluminum collar and added magnets. It is awesome. The guy that build the RooBox Plyobox that Abmat sells is coming out with a collar that looks super cool. It has a mechanism that tightens when dropping the barbell, so it moves closer to the weights.

@davidklimas1408 2 года назад

I bought the cheap ones from your 800lbs drop rack test video. That's all the proof I needed. Lol Surprised they weren't mentioned.

@TMGxRUSHx Год назад

I have a feeling they aren’t very good, but I’d love to see a review of the “SnapClips” collar. They remind me of the snap bracelets that we used to have as kids.

@chrisbarberis1573 2 года назад

Love your channel Coop… how about the Ivanko COT 1.25 compression sleeve collars? Any good?

@majorgear1021 2 года назад

I grabbed the Rogue alum magnetic cuffs because magnets are extremely convenient. The only thing that I didn’t like was the lack in choice of colors. Basically, I want anything except black, with something bright like chrome , white etc being preferred. My power rack is black and I have trouble seeing a black item, like my TV remote which has a magnet attached as well, when it’s attached to the black power rack.

@TwoWheelNinja 2 года назад

I've been using my generic Amazon $7 special collars for 4 years now without a single issue even while deadlifting. I don't need to jump on my plates to see if it moves lol. I don't drop weights from overhead so there's that.

@thomastkach7467 2 года назад

I'm pretty happy with cheapies, too, except for deadlifting, where they loosen up after a few sets. You don't need much holding power for doing squats or bench.

@smjewett 2 года назад

Thanks for the comparisons, Coop. There are a few on your list that I didn't know about that I may consider in the near future.

@ExpeditionaryRanger 2 года назад

You had me scared. I bought two of these for Christmas. The wife and I can attest to their exceptional performance. Hopefully the grip lasts.

@Buran01 6 месяцев назад

I have the Rogue ones in ABS and in aluminium. Both get loose after a few dozens of drops with olympic movements, so my pick would be the ones in plastic since are cheaper and weigth ~600 grams (pair), so are useful to count as a half Kg plate. If you really want unamovable collars you will need calibrated ones from weighlifting; they weigth 2.5 Kg and are really expensive, but I wouldn't use them for non olympic wl.

@MrRoflmao1000 2 года назад

Comp collars are a good option, act as 2.5 KG weights, and work both on regular and specialty barbells

@smallhomegym 2 года назад

Have had the rogue aluminum collars, eleiko Oppen collars, and SYQQ collars. If I were to choose one given money isn’t an issue, I would go with SYQQ. A true one handed simple collar and beautiful. Eleiko could be functioned with one hand but was very difficult to do so. Check out my review of the SYQQ collars!

@Rack979 2 года назад

Hey Coop, which collars weighed in at 205.8g/206g or near it? 2 of those plus 20kg equals a right proper 45 pounds.

@Joe___R 2 года назад

The syqq collars are actually a great option for people with severely weak hands. As a quadriplegic operating the levers can be extremely difficult but being able to simply push it on & pull it off will make it a great option.

@chethammer 2 года назад

This is my own curiosity and you can ignore or answer it if you want. You're a quadriplegic and you lift weights? So not fully paralyzed?

@elkhills1 Год назад

Sarcasm detected.

@Siberius- 2 месяца назад

@@chethammer - So there is "incomplete paraplegia" and "incomplete quadriplegia" for example, but the chances are very high that the OP is making an elaborate comment to joke about quadriplegics. Bodyweight would surely be far more than enough for such cases. I also don't think they would be aware of incomplete cases, which makes the edgy comment very lazy as far as it not making sense under that context.

@chethammer 2 месяца назад

@@Siberius- Absolutely true. An incomplete quad ( I think sometimes referred to as a paraquad) would have weak arm strenghth. I have to admit I don't like seeing people in these positions, let alone talking about them. It's a tough row to hoe.

Any reason to get the Rogue ones with replaceable rubber? Seems like it would be better than replacing the whole collar once the rubber wears down a little, but maybe you'll wear out the lever or something else before the rubber and it won't matter.
