I mean I find it a little ridiculous that I can’t even order 5-10 pound weight plates off dicks or academy.

Exactly. Most bumper plates are made in the same few facilities in China. They're just branded differently. Quite the racket.

I just want a fricking adjustable bench but apparently that’s like finding a baby unicorn

Yep even Rogue’s bumper and competition plates and shite are made China

Their made in America products are mostly the racks, kettlebells and iron plates

I might even roll with Titan to get some competition or urethane plates

Im talking about months from now

I’m probably getting Sorinex plates anyway bc I can drive to get them in a couple months and save on shipping.

Wright Equipment in Birmingham has 35lb bumper plate pairs for sale.

I believe all of their stuff is made in the US.

LINK

Plenty of other equipment available: Racks, Rigs, DBs, etc.
