From what I read elsewhere, Rouge has started vetting abnormally large quantity orders, and sending out letters/denying some of those orders unless they can prove they're a company/gym owner.

Hi Brandon, ive just laid some flooring. Unfortunately I didnt see this video first. I've 15mm thick rogue basic floor tiles (500mmX500mm) under my rack only, as the stall mats were too thick (limited height). I've stall mats laid elsewhere and have now taped them 👍 Quick question, the tiles are not perfectly uniform and some slightly thicker than other and im Worried this would cause issues squatting. Do you think it would? If so, do you have any suggestions as to how I'd even them out? I'm not very handy but I thought maybe a wood plane or something? Or would this be more hassle than it's worth

If you didn't put a moisture barrier down the tape will lock in the moisture that the floor has coming up from the ground.

@@BasementBrandon no ofcourse its your gym, it has been bugging me in your previous basement as well :P

I don't know what Rogue you're using but everything I look at on that site is "out of stock" and has been for months. We're like half a year into this covid overreaction bullshit. You'd think by now fitness companies would've gotten their shit together by now and replenish and adjust (increase) their production output and stock. I mean I can't imagine it takes that long to machine a barbell and assemble it. Same with the racks. Everything is out of stock. Longest continuous weld on a rack is 3 inches..... how long does it take to assemble a rack? I am a boiler and pressure vessel fabrication inspector. Should take no more than 15 minutes to weld a 3x3 post to another 3x3 post..... and that's with a union worker. A non union dude could probably get it done in 5 minutes, haha. It's not just Rogue either.... it's all of them. I seriously wonder how much profit the fitness equipment industry has let slip away by being woefully unprepared or capable to fulfill a high demand. I thankfully have a pretty stellar gym setup already, but I got a new job and some extra cash and was hoping in 2020 to upgrade/swap out some stuff just to keep it fresh. There is literally nothing out there. I had been eyeballing the ironmaster quicklock DBs for a couple years now and was hoping to pull the trigger this spring...... nope. They're so bad that at the end of July they had a message on their site saying they'd have their stock replenished next week and to check back then. Then when you checked back the message was "there has been a delay, please check back sometime in early August." I'm not going to visit your site every damn day multiple times a day just to get a straight answer on when you'll have your shit together. Anyways.... I checked back at the end of the first week in August..... they now had and have a message along the lines of "we have had our raffle for the new stock, if you have not received an email you were not selected. Check back sometime in mid September." Do potheads run Ironmaster? Dude..... we're not, like.... exactly sure when we'll have the shit we sell..... so like, check back - you know - whenever, bro. It's fucking ridiculous. Ironmaster is the most egregiously unprepared. But they are all sucking major asshole. I mean at least IM is leaving messages on their site on roughly, haha, when they should have some shit to sell even if they sound extremely unsure..... of when they'll receive shit.... they themselves have ordered. I don't get that. But Rogue.... they have nothing on their site. No memo - nothing. A new person to the world of lifting might go there and think the company is now defunct because they could've visited in June and saw everything was out of stock and just went back to check the site again today and absolutely NOTHING has changed. All I can say is..... November 3rd needs to get here ASAFP. Covid will magically go the fuck away come the 4th then.
