I am a fan of the 2.0 design. The spokes and the extra lettering looks great. The chrome is my favorite look for comp plates, but the lack of color indicator is a downside to me. On the face or on the lip would be good. I prefer the face look. These are everything you want in a calibrated plate: accurate weight, thin so you can fit more weight on the bar, and have a sticker on them that makes them approved by whoever that matters for. Although these are very nice plates, the lip to grab is very small. Expect it to be challenging at first and needing to build up a tolerance to it over time. I am glad to have mine, but I don’t see much need for them in a gym that isn’t competing in power lifting. Even then, I think you will get as good training on normal, but still nice plates.

Same feel and quality as the KG plates. I don’t find much use in this type of plates calibrated plates are a pain to handle and if they are lbs then they aren’t simulating comp specific equipment (which I believe to be a big reason for having these. I’d go with something with more lip grip for lb plates. The Chrome looks great and make these tempting. Still go KG. I do wish there was a color marker on the lip.

TOASTER RACK. For a set of bumpers this thing is great for quick setups and moving things around. It does get pretty heavy when fully loaded so make sure you load it correctly if you plan to move it (heavy weight at wheels). I think a tree or posts on your rack will serve you better. That said, the tree with rollers does not roll well on mats and this rolls just fine.

I have seen this thing in the Rogue show room a couple items per month for the last 3 years. It. Is. Odd. I get who this is for and the use case, but based on the few seconds I put on it every now and then… it feels awful and like a fancy toy. If you are a parent who is getting this for their kid playing football (which is the only home gym use case I can think of)... just don’t. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe I have no clue. But it doesn’t feel like what it is simulating from the field house.

I am a big fan of a slat mill and this is the best one I have used. The monitor is simple, but does provide a bit more detail than similar priced competitors. If you have used a higher end slat mill this will have the familiar feel. It also says rogue on it so it makes you faster. Science.

Like a mini barbell. These feel great. As a loadable DB it is one of the best you can get, but as an option for a DB, I would not recommend. Something with a more convenient weight change system is the way you should go. It is hard to get yourself to pay that much more, but trust me that waiting and saving up is very much worth it. Using these as your DBs will be a pain and will result in you doing very little DB work due to how long it takes to change weight.
