If you're looking for a plate the isn't calibrated, it will get the job done, and won't break the bank for a good set. Then Standard is the right plate for your gym. Rogue in their store in Columbus has these every so often for $1.00 a pound in their surplus section. Anytime I'm in the store, I take a look for a great deal.

Spud straps are built to last, and a company I trust to make great straps, I use them all the time in the gym.

Rogue bands have outlasted any other bands I have tried. I use them for warm-ups, deadlifts, to hang kettlebells on the e-maxx bar, etc. Great bands, and my preferred choice.

Build, performance, and quality from Rogue are always top-notch. Still, perhaps nothing has been moved around more, left unused, and collected more dust than this. It's actually a friend's piece of equipment that has gotten so little attention that he has no intention of picking it up or having me drop it off. It's loud and just not used. I thought of getting a friction sled, but it just hasn't been used since my son played high school football 3 years ago. Great equipment if it gets used, though.

I've had this rope for the last 5 years, and it has withstood the test of time, physical excellence, and lots of sweat. It does its job, and it does it well.

This was my first specialty bar and I quickly upgraded to a kabuki bar. I love Rogue equipment, but at the time of this purchase, their specialty bars, in my opinion, weren't great. Finding the balance of the bar wasn't easy. It's now strapped to the top of my rack for pull-ups.
