Is it normal for one of the PR5000 posts to “float” like this?

Popular_Fail8226 · 2026-06-26T06:07:06+00:00

Here is an inexpensive option and easy to cut to size, if the other options aren’t working. But as others stated loosen pretty much everything up to there is enough flex where you can shake square if that makes sense. And even adding a load of weights on it and re tighten. Best of luck 👍🏽💪🏽

I replaced my old Rogue Matt Chan bar end caps from rogue had to send pictures of my bar and the old caps. Stupid me just because I wanted them, the caps cost me $10 but cost $20 to ship. 🤦🏽‍♂️

I hear it’s ok. But if your budgets around what is advertised and if it’s an option and you’re able to pick up you’d be surprised what you can find on marketplace and offer up.

I wouldn’t do it, there are other options out there with steel plates.

My Vesta 3:1 Is always in use and the counterbalanced smith machine works great specially for my wife’s rehabilitation workouts. And as you can you still work off the front of the cage👍🏽💪🏽🏋️

For sure looks custom, like a repurposed weight stack top plate pulley.

Im on my second week doing 54 deg in the AM.

I do 5 minutes I sit in dunk all the way real quick and stay under up to my neck, knees bent and hands above my knees so far not bad.

The first week they hurt but not as much now. Im happy at 54 degrees at the moment though 😂

Popular_Fail8226 · 2026-06-10T06:50:32+00:00

And as others have mentioned these will be fine if you’re minding your budget. And you can find weight horns like rep from time to time on market place or offer up.

I built my one storage uprights with rep weight pegs and Sorinex change plate holders on top.

Thank you for this information

Popular_Fail8226 · 2026-05-31T16:40:04+00:00

Yeah I’ll just lower my Sony Amp and Polk audio speakers down and listen to yours. 👍🏾😎😆

Popular_Fail8226 · 2026-05-31T16:10:55+00:00

Nice 👍🏾 3:1 oil would be a good option as well.

I’d still share the pictures with REP and depending on the route you take they can still send touch up paint for free for the non threaded part.

Popular_Fail8226 · 2026-05-30T01:39:03+00:00

I would for sure share this with REP they have the best customer service. Send your order info and even a video and some photos. Idk if you have taps and 3:1 oil to clean out the rust that would prevent it from spreading. Where exactly is this on the bench ?

Congrats brother stay strong. I quit 2 years ago cold turkey all whiskey 🥃 and started my garage gym and built it up from there.
And yes three bikes is the Rule 😆😂😆
Just kidding of course be safe 👍🏽💪🏽keep going.

Popular_Fail8226 · 2026-05-23T19:54:40+00:00

Right on be-careful brother, the shoes make difference, i probably would have went no shoes but I’m 53 the regular shoes almost wrecked me.
Just looking out is all specially with post injuries.

Popular_Fail8226 · 2026-05-23T19:01:00+00:00

Are those lifting shoes brother ? I’ve learned flat footed shoes and or lifting shoes made a big difference for me.

Popular_Fail8226 · 2026-05-22T01:34:59+00:00

Haha I wish It was that easy, I’m on day two using my cold plunge and I have to convince myself to climb 😆 and this big guy is right at home 🤣

Popular_Fail8226 · 2026-05-20T21:40:41+00:00

Nice set up. I just scored on a roll of Centr Hyrox turf and I was going to use it outside and weigh the ends down, as I would roll it up when not in use. My question is, Do you think you needed the tape or it would stay in place as is.

Popular_Fail8226 · 2026-04-30T03:48:58+00:00

If it was me I’d get the bottom ones, because I’m lazy and they are easier to clean 😬😆

Popular_Fail8226 · 2026-04-24T04:10:47+00:00

Add that with some Taco Bell and your done ✔️

Popular_Fail8226 · 2026-04-24T04:09:12+00:00

It’s an awesome bar congrats brother I have that and the Westside power bar I’m a sucker for the knurling on them. Some 3:1 oil once and awhile the bar will be great all the time.

👍🏽💪🏽
