The 2024 Deadlift Big Plates for Reps Challenge

[John K]

Definitely Rogue. Looked the price. Fainted. Came back to consciousness.

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.

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)

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...

I don't care about cosmetics - rust is totally fine. (give me a rusty bar w. unfrozen sleeves over a shiny new one w. locked sleeves any day)

I did a single at 405 today. First time I have attempted that in at least 5-years.

You can put me down for 315 x 20 on 4-24-24.

That's a lot of freaking deadlifts for one set.

I can feel the lightheadedness and vomit just reading that.
