There's just something about DIY pieces that someone else made decades ago. I got this tree with some vintage York plates, and it's like it all came out of a high school that hadn't upgraded their gym since the early 90s. Still going strong and doing its job.

Got this as kind of a throw-in with a combo rack and some plates. For as old as it is, it seems like it's holding up really well. The knurling is super passive, especially where it has sat on the combo rack's metal rollers, but that's to be expected. It's not an everyday sort of bar, but it's a cool piece of history and is perfectly functional.

These things are awesome. I love the look of the milling, and they perform great - they're easy to grip and the tolerance on the sleeve is tight. It's fun to have a little piece of lifting history, too.

I have to use a mini jack in my garage gym due to space and the fact that my platform is small but elevated. However, my experience with this Rogue one at my work gym was very positive.

If you've got a power rack, this piece in a home gym seems pretty superfluous to me, especially if space is a concern. That being said, it's Rogue, so it's extremely solid and does what it says it will do.

I am a big fan of this thing. I don't have a lot of wall space for storing barbells, and I don't love vertical storage options. This does a great job of keeping my barbells up and out of the way, especially my multi-grip bar, which is otherwise pretty awkward to store. Add in the fact that it's really well made and gives me another pop of red, and I pretty much couldn't afford not to have one in my gym.

They have a very secure fit to my Titan T-3 j-cups and were easy to install. I love the pop of red, and I’m happy about the extra protection they give my barbells.

I made mine out of some scrap lumber and leftover horse stall mats. I filled them with foam puzzle piece flooring tiles so that they work as silencer pads, too. Since I had everything lying around, it's impossible to beat the value. Really my only "problems" are that they're cumbersome to move around and only have one height.
