Manufacturers are still trying to catch up with demand from everyone at home who can’t go to their regular gym anymore.
Some conditioning equipment or functional training equipment is easy to find: sleds, weight vests, medicine balls, resistance bands… It’s the staple weight lifting equipment like barbells, weights, benches and racks that are badly sold out.
A few hot things in stock right now… No promises that they’ll last past today!
- Power Racks: Several Rogue Monster Lite Racks are in stock.
- Barbells: CFF has WOD Bars in stock. Texas Power Bars is also still making and shipping bars with the normal 1-week lead time.
- Benches: FringeSport’s Flat Bench is in stock.
- Hex Bars: Titan Fitness Hex Bars are in stock.
- Kettlebells: American Barbell has some of assorted sizes. Kettlebells USA is taking pre-orders of their high-end competition kettlebells with a 2 week delay.
- Rubber Flooring: Rubber Flooring Inc has plenty of rubber mats and rolls.
Rogue frequently has stuff back in stock, because make a lot of equipment in-house in their huge facility. You have to keep checking and be quick. Rogue has an “in stock” filter in each category, which is not accurate to the minute but it helps you narrow things down better.

New Wim Hof Videos
No equipment needed to do this!
Here are a couple good recent videos “The Iceman” Wim Hof put out. A short inspiring message about the coronavirus, and the second one is his famous guided breathing technique.
He has talked for years about the effects of his methods on the immune system. It happens to be particularly relevant right now. Yet, in the midst of a health crisis, most of the media does not talk about how to have a good immune system. Strange, isn’t it?
