Specs:
I used a set like these(not the same brand, but the same design), and was pretty happy with how well they held. My issue with ones that look like your link are that they are difficult to open and close tightly and often (but I've never used that particular brand). Good luck with your search! :)
Both of my recommendations are for later in BB, but you might want to get a pair of barbell collars later in the program, for making sure that your plates stay secure on the barbell. A lot of gyms have the metal clips that you have to squeeze in order to open them onto the barbell, which requires a lot of grip strength. I’ve also found that the clips/collars at my gym go missing all the time, so it’s easier to save myself the hassle and keep a pair in my gym bag.
I also love this squat bar pad . As the title suggests, it’s for use while squatting, but I also find it to be useful for keeping the bar from digging into my hips during hip thrusts.
As for running, I own a FlipBelt and love it. It’s basically a giant tube of fabric that you can fit anything in (I usually have a debit card, metrocard, ID, my keys, an iPhone 8 Plus and a 16 oz bottle of water) and it holds it tight to your body so nothing jiggles when you run. It doesn’t ride up or fall down, either.
Anyone have any idea how much barbell lock collars weigh? They're definitely heavier than your standard barbell clip and my gym has 2 pairs that I sometimes use to microload slow lifts like OHP. I'm referring to something similar to these

I'm also wondering if any brings their own 1.25lb plates to the gym (my gym doesn't have any) to microload lifts - would this be weird?
