Re: Stand/Platform vs Power Cage
most well designed power cages let you do pullups, dips, hang rings etc.

Re: Home Depot - mats

Pros: cheap, easy to clean, easy to reconfigure
Cons: slippery, squishy

Re: Rogue hg vs Rogue hi-temps bumper plates
I suspect that they are actually NOT all the same width. I don't have the Rogue HG but I think they are just rebranded Chinese made virgin rubber plates similar to the Pendlay Econ V1 (I have), and...
