The Great Gym Equipment Famine of 2020 - Official Thread
Posted on 5/15/20 at 8:59 am
Posted on 5/15/20 at 8:59 am
We've sort of been unofficially using GtG's heads up on Monster racks for this, but wanted to start a thread on everyone's home/garage gym hauls during the equipment shortage. Can also use this as an in-stock update thread.
So far I've snagged:
RML-490 power rack (w/ skinny and fat/skinny crossmember)
Ohio Power Bar black/black cerakote w/ HG collars
Rogue Bolt-together Bench (originally ordered FB-5050 from Rep but it took too long so I cancelled when bolt together came in stock)
Rogue Rings
Black Echo Bumper Pairs in 10s, 25s, and 35s
Finally snagged a pair of 5 and 10 change plates this AM.
Some storage pins to attach to my rack
Also built a DIY platform to mount my rack to
Other things I will buy when I can get them:
At least 3 pairs of 45 or 55 bumpers and a pair of 15s
Pairs of 2.5s and 1.25s change plates
Powerblocks 5-90lb
Wife wants a mat
Bands
Things I want down the road:
Kabuki trap bar
Rep AB-5000 adjustable bench
Farmer carry handles (getting trap bar first)
Push/pull sled
A rower or airbike

I believe they are sold out.

He had 4 left yesterday, I know one for sure was bought because they didn't want the bench.
I just texted the coach, Northshore High still has 2 racks/benches left.

Have you looked at the Eleiko Trap Bar?
If i had to do it over again i would have gotten that one over the TB-2.

I've got everything I need for now, except the damn bumper plates. Getting an F5 complex on rogue, york, and titan. Managed to snag change plates and bands so I will at least get to imagine I'm bench pressing.
Eventually I'm gonna add the matador dip attachment, expand my kettlebell selection, and get powerblocks, but that will be an ongoing process. I wish Rogue, Titan, York, etc would start limiting the amount of plates per order. Seeing the price gougers on FB marketplace is frustrating.
ETA:
RML-3W FOLD BACK WALL MOUNT RACK
Adjustable Bench 2.0
40LB Rogue Kettlebell
Ohio Bar Cerakote
2.5, 5, and 10(x2) change plate pairs
All I got left to get for now:
3x45 bumper pairs
1x25 bumper pair
maybe 1x10 bumper pair
ETA: people are saying that Rogue Reps are indicating they won't have bumpers in for another week or two.

Must have decided to sell more cause they posted on their Facebook they were sold.
If you are just looking for a rack and bench it's a great deal. All attachments would have to be custom though.

Since this all started I've purchased and received a dip attachment, spotter arms, a pair of 55# color echo bumpers and the Titan V2 trap bar.
I've ordered but not yet received a 88# KB from Kettlebell Kings, Ski erg, and Titan V2 SSB.
I'm currently trying to sell an infrared sauna that I use about 2X per week, but it just takes up too much room in my garage. I'm going to purchase a bike erg when that becomes available again to take the spot of the sauna. After that I'll really have everything that I could want in my garage. I've been building up my garage gym for about 5 years now. I love training in it, but just building the gym is also addictive.

Eleiko Trap Bar is good, it's also the most expensive, and it only has one set of handles and they are at the level of the bar, whereas most trap bars also have handles 2" higher for those with less mobility. Kabuki is also made in the USA.

Haven't looked into Eleiko but I'm going to check it out now.
Snagged 3 pairs of Rogue HG 2.0 45s just now!!

Wright fitness has rubber coated plates in stock, only thing I noticed missing were 5 lbs plates.

Finally received my American Barbell Cerakote Mammoth Power Bar that I ordered on 4/7.
Earlier purchased a used Marcy bench and barbell set to get me started. Wasn't a bad deal - paid $250 and came with around 250 lbs of coated grip plates.
Ended up building a rack and connected it to my current home gym. Had to keep the home gym because my wife likes using the machines, and I didn't have room for both the home gym and the rack. It is nice being able to use the pulldown and some of the cable excercises, but it makes the rack a little cluttered. It only cost around $175 to build the rack and it works well enough for what I need.

I bought an adjustable "commercial" bench off eBay when this first started and was given a pair of adjustable Bowflex dumbbells.
ETA: I use a pair of saw horses for dips and body rows.
Since gyms are opening up, I will be looking for the newer used equipment as people go back.
Maybe we could post links to used equipment here too? If it's not against the rules.

That’s really cool that you built that.
Rogue has 5/10lb change plates in stock right now.

Literally just went to check after seeing your post, and they are already sold out.
Posted on 5/16/20 at 1:20 pm to Dixie Normus
Managed to get 3 pairs of 45s, 1 pair of 25s, 2 pair of 10s HG2.0s last night. I’m done for a while. I don’t care that they are fatter, I’m not planning on doing more than 405 for a while anyway. If I ever get back there I’ll upgrade to slimmer.
Wish I had been able to buy all my equipment at once and combine the shipping. Buying these as they came in resulted i shipping eating me alive.

Did they restock some last night? It’s impossible to tell any times they may restock from what I’ve been able to tell so far.
Posted on 5/16/20 at 2:19 pm to tigerbait01
Yeah they did a restock at about 4:45 yesterday. I snagged 3 pairs of 45s as well. They’re thick, but I’ll just grab some cast irons if I outgrow the weight I’ve got.
