Nice review Brandon! I didn't know much about REP before, but now I might pick these up for my new home gym I'm building! I have a question about sandwich J cups: What is your opinion on the sandwich j cups vs the 2 inch sandwich j cups? It looks like the normal ones have the potential for the bar collar to scrape the bolts (especially the bolt at the end where you unrack, and especially because the monster racks are 49in wide). Or are all the bolts always out of reach of the bar collar? Also, will the bar collar slam into the backplate of the normal sandwich j cups when you rerack hard against the back? I like that the normal sandwich cups are thinner, but not if it defeats the purpose of getting them to prevent metal-on-metal contact!

@BasementBrandon

I have the sandwich ones (regular) and have no complaints, like them a lot! Don't own the 2" version so nothing to really say on them unfortunately!

Yeah I'm thinking spring of next year things should hopefully be back to normal-ish, but we'll see!

if ignoring cost differences, would you go with urethane coated plates like these or urethane bumpers when your training does NOT include overhead stuff like cleans or snatches? Plates will hit the floor from things like deadlifts or pendlay rows. I don't want plates that are sloppy on the bar like some poor quality plates can be. The machined inserts of urethane bumpers seem like they will stay tight on the bar over time vs. the metal inner rings on the Urethane covered plates likes these, but I don't have either so tough to tell.

Just how they are holding up, how the rest of the set turned out, still recommend them over the six shooter? Pros/Cons

Sometimes I wonder with everything out of stock and stuff flying off the shelf the second it drops, how many homes have something akin to a home gym... 1 out of 5? Once this all blows over the used market will be flooded, folks won't be able to give it away.

There’s stock bots out there. That’s the only realistic way to get fitness gear these days

I mean they are still 45 pounds right? No need for that price you can get a pair for 120-150

Not an apples to apples comparison tbh. With that logic you could argue a 50lbs bag of sand for $5 is all you need.

I do, but the last few months have been very inconsistent b/c of work and moving. Once the rest of the equipment is in, I'll be jumping back in to programming.

I live in central Texas. I think I’ve been in maybe... three basements in my entire life.?. None of them in this state. I’d rather work out in a basement up north than a garage down south. At least I never have to shovel the heat out of the driveway.

I've got a question ... the man who runs one of the You Tube channels I follow, not fitness related, claims that he makes over $200,000 per year in revenues, and he has just a few thousand more subscribers than you do. Obviously I'm not going to ask for any specifics, but does that sound at all reasonable?

Largely depends on affiliates and other selling. Strictly KZread views depends on activity. I make around $1-2k per month from views pre-tax.
