Who Wins? Rogue or everyone else? 69% voted for Rogue, which means others have quite a lot of catching up to do. This question was also asked in December of 2019, where Rogue received 67% of the votes. There were 5x more votes this time around.

Would you even consider a rack that doesn’t have 5/8 inch or 1-inch holes? 4x voted no rather than yes, and 21% didn’t see why that would be important. Last week, it was discovered that most preferred racks with 1-inch and 5/8 holes so that it’s compatible with popular lines from several companies.

Bumper or Iron Plates? Bumpers win this one easily with 2.2x more votes. Only 9% went with “whatever is cheapest,” so most had a preference.
What’s tougher? Clearing space for gym or Filling space with gym? 79% say that it’s more difficult to find the space for that gym equipment. This is a question that has been asked several times during these surveys, and they have always produced a similar result.
