It's still a work in progress - sanding, staining, trimming edges - but at least it's built now, and can officially be used. It doesn't replace my #roguefitness Collegiate rack, rather supplements it for leg day supersets, and gives me a pull-up bar that I can get to when benching or squatting in the other rack; while taking up very little floor space (14" crossmembers).

More equipment waiting to ship. Excited to have new stuff to review now.

I just wanted to give my thanks to @pioneer_fit for always excelling in both the quality and refinement of their belts, and their consistently-excellent customer service.

The custom Pioneer belt in the first picture was in the trunk of one of our cars that was stolen (yes, a Hyundai); and the belt in the second picture is the perfectly-duplicated belt that Pioneer rushed into production and got to us as quickly as possible. It's perfect; just as nice as the first.
-
When I say we were more upset about losing the belt than the car, I'm not kidding. The car was insured, and meant very little. The belt was not insured, and was a gift.
-
Thank you, Matt and Magen, for being so willing to help us get a replacement ordered so quickly. You guys are amazing, as always!

Am I the only too lazy to actually put the plates around the post of my weight releasers? 😂

The Rogue Adjustable Bench 3.0...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's a beast, and the blue + stainless looks great and works well with my nameplate. It's even lighter than REP's AB 5200 and had more back pad settings!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However, after using 12" and 14" grippy pads on my 5200, this 11", standard vinyl pad feels like... a compromise. Of course, I'm a tall guy with a pretty wide upper body. Most average height folks will probably be fine with the width, and maybe even grateful that it's at least 11" rather than 10".
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But hey, it's my first session with it. Who knows how I'll feel tomorrow.
