Yep, I've been wondering too about impending post-covid carnage with gym equipment companies who grew too fast, like MuscleDriver rode the Crossfit wave too hard. It's about that time, and double bad...

This is a weird BF from what I'm seeing. We aren't back to 2019 I guess. Rogue used to sell out of deals in minutes. Now they have the same deals up for days and their % remaining bar stays near...

The Fitness Reality brand racked up exposure in 2020 when everything else was out of stock or shut down. That's why they have gobs of Amazon reviews. I don't know how they managed to get so much...

I can't imagine any situation where it would be worth renting it out, no matter who it is or how many people. It would have to be in a unit at another property, and then there's tons of...

They certainly look good! I too am thinking they won't wear as well as UHMW, which does wear for some people depending on your habits of rolling the bar against it. It would be interesting to do some...

On deadlift day I do a light warmup gripper set, flip it around and do a set to work the other fingers, then rest and do a heavier set both ways too. Then start my deadlift warmup sets. This grip...

Has anyone ever tried taking a metal file to sharp knurling?

Oh I see what you're saying, adjusting for hole spacing. The metric specs of the PR-5000 makes everything seem strangely off.

You expanded the hitch pin hole on the mono? I'm guessing you mean you expanded the rack hole to fit the mono? Are the PR-5000 holes a hair smaller than Rogue?

Yeah nobody seems to be making a perfect gun rack. The Titan UHMW sticks out better in that regard, but I wouldn't get it either. It has a thinner UHMW sheet that can pull away with any sideways...

The diagram you posted says it will fit fine. The part you put plates on goes outside the rack.

Kind of a bummer to me. I was planning on getting a 2x3 Rogue rack as my next one. It's the clearance issue. I want that extra 2" to feel safe.

How much does everything weigh? How much do 3 friends weigh? Is the floor going to suffer structural damage if 3 friends are standing there?

Thanks! Things were going well, with lots of happy customers with Troy plates and dumbbells especially, but I'm anticipating that things will be out of stock for months, or other issues. That's okay,...

FYI, more and more states are shutting down all businesses as of today, and many equipment stores can't ship and are shut down indefinitely. Adamant Barbell might not reopen again.

Who's Al? Is he on here?

There was actually another commenter on the blog post who was quite a bit more out for blood than Joe's mild criticism. I had to delete it!

Anyway I'm glad you guys...

I'll keep it off that post just in case people get confused about that. In my haste to get an image slapped on and publish it, that didn't even occur to me, but at least one other person took it to...

Hey, I'm really sorry about that, AttyGuy! One of those pics of your gym must have gotten spread around so much that it was on one of those unreferenced online galleries, and I snagged it. I feel bad...

Will a cheap carabiner like this not fit? I bought this exact one for relatively low weight applications. A 50lb chain certainly qualifies.

It sounds strange, but some adjustable wrist weights could be cheaper and not stick off the sides of the dumbbells like Platemates. For most exercises it's effectively the same to move those couple...
