You should start a thread for people to follow.
Lol, that would actually be really fun. The problem is i can see myself looking like a solicitor or looking like im advertising for a few specific brands, simply because most vendors don't have inventory.
Right now is such a crazy time because most of these vendors simply don't have the, the key components like barbells, plates, benches, racks, dumbells in stock.. Now is such a bad time to build a home gym because selection is very limited and i follow the mantra "buy nice or buy twice". There's still good stuff out there you just have to know where to look. So right now there's a lot of settling for less or for something different. For instance it's very difficult to buy any decent name brand barbell right now, or buy cast iron plates. A few places just started taking backorders, the lead is a few months though. I know of a few places though if you're just looking for something to get you by.
Technically anything can be found but a lot of places are price gouging horribly as yall noticed.
Vendors are updating their inventory daily but a lot of the stuff will sell out instantly. I have email alerts set up for basically rogues entire website. Literally every item I've gotten an email alert lasted no more than basically 15 minutes before it was out again. A few of the home gym build websites have been updating on who has what in stock and whats expected to come back in so following them could be helpful.
If anyone has any questions, needs recommendations, simply can not find an item or peice of equipment in stock, or would like my advice on equipment selection feel free to ask or send me a message. Im sure i can help.
Okay, I'm done hijacking.
