In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials, DOTS Calculator discloses the following about its use of affiliate links.
What this means
Some links on this Site — for example, in articles recommending training equipment, belts, sleeves, or chalk — are affiliate links. If you click one of these links and make a qualifying purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is not affected by whether you use our link.
Our editorial standards still apply
We only link to products we believe are genuinely useful to lifters, and a product’s affiliate commission has no bearing on whether we recommend it or how we describe it. See our Editorial Policy for more on how content decisions are made independently of monetization.
Programs we may participate in
DOTS Calculator may participate in affiliate programs including, but not limited to, the Amazon Associates Program and similar retailer or brand affiliate programs. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
How affiliate links are identified
Where practical, affiliate links are marked with a note near the link or at the top of the article. If you’re ever unsure whether a specific link is an affiliate link, feel free to ask us directly.
