(6:08) “Yay” or “Nay” to 35 lb plates?

(23:53) What’s the best purchase you’ve ever made for the home gym? And, Worst?
Puzzle mats were definitely not mentioned as the best purchase by anyone.
(40:40) The best item you have for the home gym that is not gym equipment?
Leaf blowers, Wall Control, sound systems, lighting, and more were mentioned.
(51:42) In 5 years, who will be the most popular equipment supplier for home gym strength?
As you’d expect, most still believe that it will be Rogue, with its competitor out of Denver being second.
(59:00) What company not named Rogue, REP, or Titan has the best opportunity to be #1 in 5 years?
While nobody necessarily thinks the top two are going to be dethroned, several companies were mentioned with huge potential.
