Yeah, took a good bit of saving to get. I could've saved a little and gotten plain black bumpers, but I couldn't've saved a lot and gotten crumb bumpers as they're too thick to get enough weight on the sleeve. I figured I was going to buy these once and they'll be the last plates I'd need... Buying second hand also saves money.Definitely Rogue. Looked the price. Fainted. Came back to consciousness.
You'd probably not be a "fan" of my bar. Its a Rogue Boneyard bar and, well, quite rusty. But at least the sleeves spin nicely and the knurling is good! I don't mind the rust...Rogue bumpers are nice. I went to a gym that had recently purchased thousands of pounds of all new Rogue bumpers, but had (and I s*** you not) exactly ZERO barbells without frozen sleeves and negligible knurling. (and several that were bent)
