Picking Plates - Why I Sold My Rogue Competition Plates
Рет қаралды 125,235
Күн бұрынAs a follow up to my last few videos, I was asked to talk about which weight plates I purchased. I think it makes more sense to go through a similar process for this as we did with the racks. So in today's video, we'll take a look at why I sold my Rogue Calibrated Competition Plates.

I love my calibrated lb plates but I agree they aren't the easiest to manipulate. One reason I bought rogue calibrated plates during the pandemic was that you can easily resell them without a loss. The second reason is that they are one of the few 55lb steel plates on the market and, for me, plate math with 55s is easier than 45s.

I know you will get the best plate set that fits your needs. Having the exact equipment that is used at a meet really helped me. After loading my new 25kg plates for a while the 45lb plates seem really light now. I mix and match when I'm in a hurry. Conversion slows me down. Two 25 kg plates plus bar and callers are 165lb. Then I just start loading lb plates. My lifts aren't heavy so four 25kg plates on the bar won't be for a long time if ever. I lied four weeks before my meet I did two reds (each Side) on the bar for a deadlift. So what I'm saying calibrated plates are great to have when training for a meet.

Hey Brandon, wondered if you could do a video on what motivates you to continue doing so many video uploads when they average 10k views. I remember years ago you were getting hundreds of thousands of views and probably making much more money for the effort required. Perhaps this will help other fitness youtubers stay motivated in similar situations.
@BasementBrandon 5 жыл бұрын
You say that as if 10,000 views isn't a lot. That's 10,000 times a day people watch me workout in a basement or garage :) TBH I don't care about views, I never did, otherwise I would have given up on my channel before it even got "bigger" I make videos on things I like, if I don't like something I don't make a video. Never wanted to get into the fakeness that it takes to be a larger "fitness" youtuber, so I just do my own thing when I feel like it!

I haven't found much difference between cal and lb plates when it comes to the big three and while they are nice to look at, they just aren't worth the cost for most home gym folk, IMO. I share the same tendencies when it comes to laziness and that need for all of my equipment to look good - especially when it comes to plates. Cannot stand the mix match look, regardless of how inexpensive it can be to locally source used plates or equipment.

Brandon: pays $1300 in 2015 dollars for plates and sells them for $1800 in 2019 dollars. Pumping out content like no other banking that yt money. Sells house for huge profit. Will somehow finesse selling new equipment and profit when he moves to new house, will make more videos and money with new house.... "i bought a lambo" video when?

Spoiler from the last video in the series: Brandon repurchased the Rogue calibrated plates when the powerlifting club found out they were sold only due to laziness and the club took pity on him and the under privileged children agreed to move them for him into his new place.
