Product Follow Up
Last week’s product idea got some feedback from the community, specifically reminding us that the non-knurled sections on the bar are to protect knees/chins from being scraped during deadlifts.
Neverthless, many still think that there was potential for it to be a product.
New Products
- The PCD may just be the most versatile machine ever created. This machine replaced the GHD and features a “patented ISO chest-supported T-bar row. So many other possibilities are available too.
- REP has added some budget-friendly/high-value barbells to their lineup:
- Black Canyon Bar: A budget-friendly multi-purpose barbell for powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, and cross-training. Available in two finishes: bright zinc or black chrome.

Survey Results
Interest in tech entering the home gym space continues to go down.
The open trap bar easily beats out the traditional hex bar as the choice for most.
In regards to the Open Trap Bar of choice, REP’s wins easily vs. Kabuki & Giant (all include different price points).
Only 38% say they save money by owning a home gym, which is down considerably from 3 years ago.
However, almost everybody says they save time by owning a home gym.
Your favorite reviewer is more likely to convince you to buy a home gym product than athlete or influencer.
