BarbEricScotaku Report post Posted September 17, 2014 Can we have a general thread for whatever fitness-related stuff we just got our hands on? Cuz this came in the mail last night: That jack was on FerrousMaverick's suggestion (along with olympic dumbbell handles and grease pencils, both of which have served me well). Can't wait to try 'er out this Thursday! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrutallyFrank Report post Posted November 21, 2014 I'm awaiting delivery of my new SBD Knee Sleeves. Got a meet in a few weeks and they changed up the rules and nixed the use of wraps, which I've only been using since the early 1990s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edge121212 Report post Posted December 13, 2014 great video mav, when you get time could you do a video on your rogue bumpers and b&R bar? i would like to see how they are holding up here are my new buys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Art Report post Posted December 17, 2014 nice buys guys I have PP on my comp, maybe I should actually read it lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edge121212 Report post Posted December 17, 2014 trust me Art, the last thing you need is a book that talks about switching programs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Art Report post Posted December 17, 2014 Hahaha very good point, edge Actually I'm in contact with Alex Viada, I'm thinking some online coaching from a guy who understands 'all around fitness' might be just the thing to get me to stick to a plan I already have the book though, not tellin who gave it to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bosworth Report post Posted December 17, 2014 yo lemme get that book Arty Farty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Art Report post Posted December 19, 2014 I'd be happy to, not sure how to go about it though, since the computer it's on is no longer hooked to the interwebs (not sure how to do it if it was, tbh) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarlHmS Report post Posted December 31, 2014 I don't have any recent buys yet, aside from some C&P supps. I'm just waiting for Rogue to re-stock the bare steel Ohio Power bar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edge121212 Report post Posted January 1, 2015 hey carl, i sent them an email and they said it should be back up for sale today. I'm also waiting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarlHmS Report post Posted January 1, 2015 Its not back yet, but hopefully that means it will be soon. I will check regularly and i have an email alert set up for it as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edge121212 Report post Posted January 1, 2015 ya not sure why it not up yet, i might have to just go with the B&R bar if they don't hurry up lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarlHmS Report post Posted January 1, 2015 If they didnt have all those issues a while back i would already have a b&r. Now im not sure i trust it enough. Id probably go black zinc power bar, but since im not desperate for a new bar i'll just wait it out for bare steel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edge121212 Report post Posted January 2, 2015 the rogue ohio power bar is back up for sale Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarlHmS Report post Posted January 2, 2015 Yeah, just ordered one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarlHmS Report post Posted January 8, 2015 I'll do a review at some point, but here's some pics for now. Obviously it's way better than a cheap sporting goods store CAP bar. Bare Steel Rogue Ohio Power Bar Also, the tube it shipped in was damaged at one end but the bar is in perfect condition. It's literally dead straight, no bend at all, not even a tiny bit. And the knurling is simply not THAT aggressive. It's good, don't get me wrong. I just mean that people talk like it's going to rip up your hands. It's not. I haven't used a Buddy Capps Texas Power Bar so I can't compare it with other bars that are notorious for aggressive knurling. I don't think the OPB is really all that "aggressive". But I don't know what other peoples' standards are for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edge121212 Report post Posted January 8, 2015 hey i got mine today also, i am pleasantly surprised with the knurling much more aggressive then my castro or chan bar but not as aggressive as the texas power bar. love the bare steel can't wait to use it tonight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Report post Posted January 21, 2015 I just bought these a few hours ago, can't wait for them to arrive. Went with Pendlay Do-wins because everything I read says they run wider than the Adidas or Nikes, and my feet are short and fat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
