The Big Shot

Name: The Big Shot
Brand: Sorinex
Rating: 4.6 (5 reviews)

Despite its barbell-styled name, The Big Shot is not exercise equipment — it’s a pair of novelty shot glasses from Sorinex, machined from food-grade 304 stainless steel with the same light knurling and snap-ring endcap Sorinex uses on its Standard Series barbells, made in South Carolina. Each glass holds a 2 oz pour and weighs 1 lb; the pair is sold as a gift item for lifters, sized for spirits or espresso shots rather than training. There’s no independent editorial, video, or community review coverage — treat it as novelty drinkware, not gym gear.

What is a Miscellaneou?

What’s in Miscellaneous

This is the catch-all for the conditioning tools and accessories that don’t fit a single equipment class — weighted vests and plate carriers, medicine and slam balls, plyo boxes, ab mats, and the odds and ends that round out a garage gym. Items land here because their job (loaded carries, jumps, core work) cuts across the categories rather than sitting neatly inside one.

Who it’s for

Anyone filling in the gaps around the big pieces. If you already have a rack, bar, and plates, this is where you find the vest for rucking and weighted push-ups, the ball for slams and wall throws, or the box for step-ups and box jumps. Match the tool to the training you actually do — a plate carrier for conditioning and rucking, plyo boxes for explosive work — rather than buying the whole shelf.

Not a training tool at all — despite the barbell-styled name, this is a pair of knurled 1 LB shot glasses, novelty drinkware built to look like a Sorinex Standard Series bar end. Build quality stands out: food-grade 304 stainless steel with the same light knurling and snap-ring endcap Sorinex uses on its real barbells, made in South Carolina. Functionality and versatility are its weakest dimensions by definition — it holds a 2 oz pour and does nothing else; there’s no lifting performance to evaluate. Coverage is thin (no independent editorial or video reviews turned up, only a handful of on-site ratings), so treat this as a novelty gift item for a lifter, not gym equipment.

+Build quality: food-grade 304 stainless steel construction, made in South Carolina (manufacturer)
+Build quality: fine knurling and a snap-ring barbell endcap base matching Sorinex's Standard Series barbells (manufacturer)
+Value: 2-glass set at $99 (down from a $120 list) is inexpensive as a novelty gift relative to Sorinex's full equipment lineup (manufacturer)

−Functionality: purely drinkware — a 2 oz shot glass, not exercise equipment despite the barbell-styled branding (manufacturer)
−Versatility: single-purpose novelty item with no training application (manufacturer)
−Durability: hand-wash only, and stainless steel is prone to rust without careful cleaning per the manufacturer's own care instructions (manufacturer)
−Value: no independent editorial, video, or community reviews exist to verify the on-site rating (manufacturer)
