(Old Video) Why I Switched from Rogue to Surplus Strength: Best Safety Spotter Arms for Garage Gyms

I apologize for the re-upload, when Youtube put music over the entirety of the video, I tried to get a video replacement without the music that was placed over the talking and it was denied, so here is the reupload as people were getting some value out of it. New Video Link here:    • (Updated) Why I Switched from Rogue to Sur...   I switched from Rogue Monster spotter arms to the Surplus Strength Stealth Spotter Arms for one main reason: space. After running traditional spotter arms from Rogue Fitness Monster Safety Spotter Arms 2.0, I switched to the Stealth Spotter Arms from Surplus Strength and trained on them for six months in my garage gym. I don’t review equipment for clicks. I train on it, live with it, and if it doesn’t fit long-term, I move on. Early mornings. Training alone. Limited space. Kids’ bikes five feet away. This video isn’t a first impression. It’s why these earned permanent rack status in my Iron & Lime gym. Barbells & Balance Blog Article: https://www.ironandlimefitness.com/ba... What this video covers: Why I moved on from Rogue spotter arms The real advantage of a smaller rack footprint (4 holes versus 7-8) How stealth spotters affect day-to-day training flow Real missed reps: squats, bench, and RDLs Long-term build quality after 6+ months Storage and space efficiency in a garage gym Speed pins vs mag pins and my customer service experience Honest price comparison and who these are actually for I paid for this equipment myself. No free gear. No sponsors. No hype. Just real use and real tradeoffs. Key takeaway: Strong equipment matters. But equipment that fits real life matters more. If you train alone, value space, and want safety gear you won’t skip using, this is worth a serious look. Mentioned in the video (I bought this gear with my own money.
