Yea the restocked and then sold out real quick. I was using the distill app, but there is also a discord chat server started on Reddit r/homegym and they actually notified the group before the distill app picked up on it.

ETA I would have preferred echos or flecks but I haven’t lifted since before a vacation right before all the shutdowns and I’m desperate.

It’s a chrome plugin. You can set it to check for changes on a webpage. So I selected the “notify me” button on the different rogue equipment I wanted and set it to check every 30 seconds when I was around my computer, and when the notify me button went away, it meant it had come in stock and I’d hop on and order it.

Their email notification system is kind of trash and way slower.

Eleiko Trap Bar?


No way it’s worth the money to spend that on a trap bar

If buying Eleiko stick to Olympic bars

Vulcan strength systems is supposed to reopen their website with some items in stock m. Tonight at 9pm.

I don’t know what will be back in stock but thought I’d give a heads up.

It depends on how much disposable income one’s got I suppose. Maybe there’s an OT baller or two on here.

People that are very driven to stay in shape are typically successful at most aspects of life. You never know!

I need to do a better job of checking FB marketplace now that we're progressing in the phases here.

It's always been an afterthought the little time I spend on FB, but people will def start selling off impulse buys on the various sales channels once they start collecting dust.

If anyone is interested Ghost Strong should have their rolling j-cups 2.0 this week or next. I’ll be getting two pairs.

I’ll grab Rogue colored echo or competition bumpers sometimes in the fall. (Along with change plates)

Any of y’all ever rescheduled a delivery from UPS? I have the option in the my choice app, just never done it.
We were looking at going out of town for memorial day weekend and it looks like a bunch of my stuff is coming in from rogue then.

The only people I wouldn’t feel bad asking them to haul weights into my garage are going to be out of town as well. Thinking of delaying delivery but just imagining it getting lost as soon as I complicate things.

If you need a good bar that will actually ship fast, hit up Mobell Muscle. Made in America and I think a certain percentage of the profits go to veterans. I got a 29mm black coated bar with aggressive knurling and it's been awesome.

& fast the Rogue's went. They only had the Bella bb ladies 25 mm left. Seeing this about 7 hours too slow.

After taking a quick look at the Mobell Ethos, that might be a winner. Was looking at the isellfitness BAM bb, but those don't restock until July.
