Quick Hitters

Here are few survey results from questions asked via Instagram last week:

  • 50.2% are interested in the 😈AGGRO knurling option😈 on the Ohio Power Bar that was released last week.

  • 60% said they want REP Iso Arms, which should be available this week.

Sunday Survey Results: Equipment Preferences

The Lat Pulldown was the winner when asked, “Which plate-loaded strength machine are you most interested in?” It was closely followed by the functional trainer with belt squat and leg curl/extension following behind. None had more than 31.1% of total votes, though, so nothing absolutely dominated.

A follow-up conversation is on the IG post below. The leg curl/extension received quite a bit more love here.

When it comes to “bench width preference,” over half do not know what they like. However, the rest know that they want it wider than 11 inches. In total, only 4% said they prefer 11 inches or less. Rogue probably wishes they had this data when they designed the Adjustable Bench 3.0.

With that being said, there was a bit of a flaw with this question. There needs to be an option for between 11 and 12 inches. This will be added to next week’s survey.

Traditional Hex Dumbbells narrowly beat out Adjustable Dumbbells as the best option for most home gym owners with space and budget in mind. Loadable dumbbells were pretty far back compared to the top two options.

The multi-purpose bar narrowly beat out the power bar as the most popular “primary barbell” that survey responders use.

Nearly 2x more prefer a bar to have a center knurl on it. Only a handful don’t know what they like better (as opposed to the bench width question above).

The power rack is the most popular for most home gym owners even with space and budget in mind. Over half voted for this option.

Bumper plates are the ideal option for most. As with most surveys done in the past, they beat out traditional iron plates relatively easily.

Motorless treadmills are much more popular than those with a motor from these survey responders.

Over 8x more voted for dumbbells with steel handles vs. rubber.

Hot🔥 or Not🧊 Results

Last week’s Hot or Not survey took a look at some “fitness sports.” All results are below, but here is a quick summary:

  • With nearly 83% voting “hot,” Powerlifting beat out Olympic Weightlifting for the top spot. Stronman and Bodybuilding also had over 70% vot “hot.”
  • Obstacle Races beat out all of the other “running sports.”
  • CrossFit seems to be one of those love/hate sports. Only 52% voted “hot,” which was third from the bottom.

That’s It!
