What are you made of?

From Qualifier

People always ask me who uses all this equipment we have.  This picture explains it pretty quickly.

At the MidWest Regional Qualifier, the rain came down in waves but the athletes didn’t budge.  If you ever wondered what not to do with a Concept 2 Rower, here it is!

Our Equipment Packages are second to none:

1) Rogue Rings – The most robust ring system on the market.  These rings are made in the USA, TIG welded and coated with the Rogue powder coat

2) Rogue Bar – One of few bars out there that is guaranteed for life against bending.  This bar is the workhorse of weightlifting bars.

You have the option to choose the Rogue Men’s/Women’s or the B&R Men’s/Women’s

3) Rogue Bumpers – The most durable training bumper available – Made in the US with recycled rubber and HD stainless steel inserts

4) HG Collars – Collars that don’t pop off easily during Olympic lifts

5) Dynamax Balls – Choose the weight you would like from 4-20LBs.  Made in the USA

6) Rogue SPX System – This press/squat stand system is priced perfectly with the equipment packages.  The shipping is consolidated with the rest of the gear

Much more: AbMats, Spring Collars, Concept 2 Rowers, Rogue Climbing Ropes and much more

If you would like to build your own set, we have introduced the New War Chest. This is a very unique way for you to put together a ton of gear with consolidated shipping costs

Sneak Peak at the Rogue Reverse Hyper for West Side Barbell!

From West Side Barbell

We just finished the build of the first ever Rogue Reverse Hyper which is a patented design by Louie Simmons. This is the signature piece of equipment that Louie designed for West Side Barbell.

Expect to see this piece of equipment in a gym near you very soon. This was built with the budget in mind but as usual it will carry the Rogue name hence it will last to serious beatings. This unit is made in the USA by Rogue Fitness any other way would be a crime against the weightlifting community.

Louie has had a B&R bar at his gym for a few months now with the full intention of bending it. It is still very much straight and that is with some deadly rack jerks and bench press movements on it.

Here are some general updates:

1) The Rogue Bumper Sets are ready to ship, our bumpers are made in the US by a guy named Chuck!

2) We tripled our manufacturing capacity on the Rogue Rings ! They are in stock and will ship within 24 hours!

4) The Rogue Do Win’s are in stock finally but Do Win decided to leave out the 8.5 – 9 Sizes. We have an expedited order for those!

5) The Legend Econ GHD’s are in stock and ship within 24 hours!

6) The Sorinex GHD and BaseFit units are in stock!

How do the 10-15LB Rogue HiTemps stack up?

From Rogue Bumpers

We have 10’s & 15’s that are getting dropped overhead almost every 3 seconds, that is our Rogue approximation. We currently sell Rogue HiTemp bumpers only and they are made with the following:

1) Recycled rubber

2) HD Stainless steel insert as see above. The insert is recessed so that it doesn’t catch the edge of the bumper next to it

The Rogue 10-15LB Bumpers are very inexpensive and will last a very long time. At $30/pair of 10’s or $45/pair of 15’s they are very affordable. They are also made in the USA! Nothing lasts forever but compared to a brass insert that may get deformed and/or fall out they are the most durable out there. The fact that the sleeve is recessed is a very big deal, the brass type are flush with the surface which subjects them to more damage.

These bumpers are not made to look nice enough for the World Championship but they will perform well enough for any Olympic training center around. The thicknesses are characteristic of a training plate hence they are wider than competition plates. A nice comp plate will set you back approximately $200/pair.

From Rogue Bumpers

10LB Plate on left and 15LB Plate is on the right.

This is a very cost-effective way to train the Olympic lifts.

Here are some general updates:

1) The Rogue Bumper Sets are ready to ship, our bumpers are made in the US by a guy named Chuck!

2) We just added products by Iron Maven – If you don’t know who that is, check out her site. Check out her videos on YouTube as well!

The Right Thing

From RAT

I am from Logan, OH which is a very small town built on Industry and hard work. Over time much of the factories have closed or reduced production dramatically. We proudly bring business back to communities like this, back to the small business folks. We hope to bring more business to this area with future products. The new Rogue Ring MIL pouch will be made in Logan Ohio by a family friend and five other people in Logan. The owner is a retired Team Sergeant from the Army Special Forces so the design is very similar to the MOLLE gear used by our troops. We will release this in 10 days.

1) Classic Ranger Green or Desert Khaki colors will be offered

2) Eyelets for Drainage on the bottom

3) HD Velcro to keep the rings secure along with a center divider for the rings and straps

From RAT

4) The back of the pouch has the latest in MALICE clip attachment systems so if you want to attach it to a pack or just throw it in your travel bag

This is just one of many new items to be added to our American made list of equipment. Check out RAT Tactical, they have some great equipment for the MIL & LEO community

We will continue to do what we can to bring industry and work to the US. There are some instances where we cannot make the items in the US but trust me we have tried.
