I’ve used in multiple spots. I didn’t like the rock it had, and it felt like it may fold like a cheap lawn chair when I got going on it. If you’re a smaller lifter, or have a small space, it’s a very viable option to help get hypers into your routine. If you’re a big individual, or like doing hypers with 405+ - it’s not the answer to your challenges.

Everyone has em, and they get you through. Piles of change plates still surviving in my space even we upgraded everything else. They are circles with increasing weight, and the more you lift the the stronger you get. The bare bones way to gains

Ever hear of a beater bar? It’s the piece of crap in the corner that everyone beats up, bends, etc. That is the end game of this bar, right out of the wrapper. It’s isn’t particularly good at anything, but it’s not so terrible as to be overlooked. It’s a cheap price point for a no frills, gets you lifting barbell. The “load rating” is a joke. I sold mine still in one piece but we put a wobble right out of the wrapper at our local Y that thought these could survive a commercial setting. My take - if you need a bar, and don’t want tetanus, and you need it fast and cheap - great pick. For anything else, step up to a better bar. It’s in the mono hooks of my old Edge Fitness monolift prototype

Seems like there are multiple barbells like this with same look, performance, setup, etc. Nice spin and overall finish. Didn’t make sense in our space since no one really Oly trains and the knurl isn’t what we want in a bar. Dropped off for use with our local HS and it’s taking a beating there! It’s on front of rack in attached pic on left side. Not best pic of bar but all I got at this point!

Regardless of brand, we all know what these dumbbells are. We also know what shelf of the rack they are. They are the newbie shelf, the “I bought a set to workout in my living room” shelf. The “fitness class” shelf. The “I can’t lateral raise real weight” shelf. Or worst, and most common, the “I hurt myself” shelf. They aren’t pretty. They aren’t always durable. The weight isn’t always accurate. But when ya find em at the right price, you scoop em up knowing someday you may need those 3’s, or find the one exercise that requires a 7(ish)lb dumbbell. Or someone will. Or you just wasted $20 but at least you have more toys. They are like a penny, look anywhere and you’ll find some so always be on the lookout. The 12’s are the only pair to ever find a home in between our 5-100 set. The balance sit in the bottom of the rack, silently judging our bad form knowing they will be called into service someday.

They are nice, and overbuilt as all things Rogue are. That said, I have a homemade version that holds almost 2000# of weight for me, and a Titan version that’s been loaded up to 1300+ that serve admirably at a better cost. If you want the Rogue name, give it hell. If you just need cheap storage any fabricator can help you out, or other great options exist in the market

High quality and a nice add on. Great example in Rogue storefront and you can see the usefulness of the setup. Made no sense for us to add on as we already have a low row but if making the buy on a rhino and you don’t have - easy move to make.

I used on outside of my DL platform with a wood insert I made. A hint of the stall mat smell we all love, but leans harder into the “uncured rubber, Harbor Freight” essence. Decent bounce, good protection. Functionally work. Pic is early gym but probably shows them the best
