I'll probably snag pair of the hundos on down the road, would be great for a belt squat or weighing down my rack in style LOL

Rogue deep dish plates dropped (and are sold out). The 45s and 100s (not that I have a use for 100s) look pretty solid to me, the rest? Big meh. Also, maybe I missed it but I couldn't find anything about weight tolerance. Considering the price, I am more than happy with my 6-shooters.

They did not sell out. They created the product page, but haven't started selling them yet. I noticed that's the way Rogue has been introducing lots of items recently.

Mine are on my reverse hyper and never really move.

If I can suggest, you might want to go grip plates for these. Hundreds are a bitch especially if some nimrod lays them face down (ultimate d*ck move but funny). Deep dish won't help at all in that scenario. This is why I splurged and added a set of 100s to my revolver order a while back.

Weight tolerance was added, pretty much what I expected

Weight tolerance : +2% / -0%

Think so? I've had deep dish hundo's before (vintage skinny script) and they were really easy to carry around. Not 'farmer walk' easy, but from one side of the room to the other they were tolerable. They would just be nice to have, would be cool if REP released some hundos to match my plates but I doubt that will ever happen.

It's more an issue if someone lays them face down - deep dish are great for grip otherwise. You won't do it to yourself but someone eventually will do it to you and smooth flooring doesn't help purchase either. It's also a lot easier to hold onto that much and maneuver with grip plates - like floor to squat bar height (deep dish is close though). I've trained in a garage and a few times the heat differential had the plates "sweating" which with 100s can get dangerous. One time we were squatting and lifters had a wide range so lots of unloading/reloading - we actually changed everything it was so bad as someone was going to get hurt. Grip plates sweat but can't slip as easily, deep dish or not.

Ultimately if you need/want a set of 100s, you can handle 100s. That said, I have one pair and for all my experiences I went unconditionally with grip plates for those reasons above. Ivanko Revolver 100s are actually a different design from the 45/35/25s so you can reach inside the holes and get purchase closer to the center when face down. Smart design and took me a bit to figure out why.

All that said
1) if I had a full set of deep dish...I'd go deep dish 100s as I'm aesthetically minded enough that I'd want them to match. Pathetic I know.
2) if I competed I'd have comp/calibrated plates and just deal with it

Rogue just announced there will be NO BF this year.

This should shock nobody. I've been saying for some time now, the best thing you will get for BF deals is something in stock.

Ditto. Some seem to think retailers offer discounts out of the goodness of their hearts, rather than to drive sales, and were convinced BF would proceed as usual. :x

Exactly, when demand outstrips supply, there's absolutely no incentive for retailer's to offer a discount, in fact the opposite is more likely.

I just respect that Rogue has not raised their prices unlike FringeSport and York Barbell.

Rogue's email in stock notification works.

Ordered items I have been waiting on last week and this morning after receiving in stock email notifications. I have been checking Rogue's site several times a day and the email notifications were within minutes of the items being available on the site.

Rogue has raised their prices twice on racking and doubled their shipping prices, basically quoting freight and shipping ground whenever possible...don't be so quick to crown them.

What gear did you receive notification about? I have been waiting or the stainless/stainless Ohio power bar to come online - it looked like it was moved to the 'in stock' section on the website but was still unavailable - not sure if that is because it was never available or sold out that quickly?

I think that was the 45 lb bar so if you had the notification for the 20 kg bar that could be why

This is true.... I don't know if it's the size of the item.... but last year/early this year plates over 230lbs+ went to LTL, consistently roughly $125-$135. But now, 6 45lb Rogue HG 2.0s or 2 95lb Rubber Hex Dumbbells is $171 shipped to same zip.

Great thought, but I have notification set up for the 45lbs bar. I was just curious if anyone was actually able to snag one (confirming they were actually available today) vs if it was just a glitch it showed up under in stock. I usually check a few times a day in addition to email notification - so I’m not sure they were actually for sale today.

I think Rogue is just sending out plates individually as they have them and bypassing the freight where possible to just get stuff out the door faster. I order 3 pairs of the deadlift tiles and they basically broke it up into three separate orders. Definitely not ideal and I'd hate to get a big order via UPS ground where they beat it all to hell but it is what it is.

[ncsuLuke]

Deep dish plates are available with hundo pricing for those looking for some plates. Better act fast.

[Deep-Voiced-One]

The 45s are out of stock, but it appears the 100s are available to those who want them.

[rpark]

I would have gotten two pairs of hundreds..... but local pickup is not an option...... $170 for freight is the only option in the Columbus area..... sheesh, kinda ruins the hundo pricing and reasonable plate price. 400 lbs would have been $578, but tax, shipping out the door bumps over $800. I don't need them that bad.

I work in freight logistics. Rogue didn’t raise shipping prices. The shipping companies did, both fedex and ups have increased prices because of covid. They did this back in March right when the lockdowns started.
Rogue also isn’t making any money charging freight prices and sending it ups. A pallet of 500lbs via ltl will be cheaper than sending 20 boxes totaling 500lbs via ups.

Yesterday I purchased 2 used barbells and a couple other things for $200. One of the bars is obviously a Texas power bar. Super happy about that one. The second bar I’m not quite sure what it is. The guy I bought it from said his dad purchased the bars and he didn’t know what it was.

Doing some research I think it might be an old rogue beater bar. It’s definitely not anything I’m keeping and I’m hoping to get $100 for it. Can’t find much info about the bar online and only a few pictures. I knows it’s definitely thicker than your stand opb and tpb and it’s definitely not big box store bar.

I really wish they would offer local pickup. Shipping cost savings is one thing, but peace of mind of getting what you actually ordered without damage is another. There seem to be a lot of UPS issues of losing or switching packages, or the correct items arriving but with a lot of damage - local pickup would cut down on the risk of that for folks within driving distance.

Cracked open the carton on my new Rogue 2.0 bar this am. The knuckling felt dirty/improperly finished. It was much rougher than my curl bar, which both have the ecoat finish. Talked to Rogue (only 5 minutes on hold!) and the guy said it should wear off over time, but I could take pics and reach out to the warranty team. I have their cheapo barbell brush. Brushing it didn't help, but I rubbed the wood side across the barbell, and then brushed it. All good now, but slightly dissatisfied that it seems like a final sanding (or something else) didn't happen at the factory. Now it's time to get used to the 28.5mm vs the 31mm on my old Rogue Beater bar.

Is,there,a,reason, or,did,they just do it because they can?

I imagine the massive overtime they have to pay the 300% increase in online orders is a factor.

[DeathByEagle]

I was lucky enough to pick up a pair of 35's and 45's competition bumpers the other day when they came available. Even grabbed two pairs of 10's from there Echo line. I didnt think the shipping was that bad honestly. But mine wasn't freight. I did separate orders so it was ups. Was cheaper that way. I think I paid about $75 total for shipping. Not bad for 200 pounds of weight.
