Is the Speediance Ring Actually Trash? Here's the Truth

After an argument on Reddit about whether the Speediance ring is "trash," I lift on the Gym Monster setup and break down what actually matters: the ring vs. the ring clip vs. the Tonal-style clicker, why the bare ring degrades your grip, and where each accessory lands on my tier list.I also get into the stuff Speediance keeps getting wrong and right: dynamic weight modes finally being stable since V3, the UX bug they fixed and then re-broke, Bluetooth ring disconnects, the software bug they once tried to charge me $80 to "replace," thumbless-grip strength math with real deadlift and bench numbers, and the partner free-lift / custom-workout feature I keep asking them to bring back before the Tonal goes back on the wall.Part workout, part smart-home-gym reality check, part "please just add a weight-lock setting."Not medical, financial, or training advice. This is personal experience and commentary; talk to qualified professionals for your own health, training, and purchasing decisions.More from Toby: https://tobyonfitnesstech.comChapters:00:00 Is the Speediance Ring Trash?01:00 The Ring Clip vs the Tonal Clicker03:39 Proof: How the Bare Ring Degrades Your Grip10:51 Tier List and the $80 Replacement Gouge13:40 Buggy Updates and Bluetooth Disconnects17:52 Thumbless Grips and Real Strength Numbers23:49 The Click Fix, Partner Mode, and TonalTags: Speediance, Speediance ring, Speediance ring clip, Tonal, Tonal clicker, Gym Monster, smart home gym, digital resistance, dynamic weight modes, grip strength, thumbless grip, free lift mode, partner workout, fitness tech
