Ive been building my garage setup for like six years now so I usually have the Black Friday cycle down to a science. I know exactly when Rogue and Rep Fitness usually drop their doorbusters but 2026 feels totally off. Im trying to snag a new power rack and some competition plates with a $1500 budget but everything is already listed as "out of stock" or "pre-order" and the sales havent even officially started? Its honestly so frustrating. I'm in Ohio and shipping is already becoming a total mess with the carriers. Does anyone know where the early 2026 leaks are being posted this year? Is there a specific discord or something because I cant find any actual deals yet...
Regarding what #1 said about the Garage Gym Reviews Discord, its the only place with real info. Unfortunately stock levels are pathetic lately. Ive been comparing specs and everything feels overpriced.
Hit up the Garage Gym Reviews Discord! They're already leaking data on the REP Fitness PR-5000 Power Rack 3x3 11-Gauge Steel and it looks like an amazing budget win!
be careful with those early leaks you see on random forums though. Like someone mentioned, the stock issues are real, but some sites are basically just scamming people right now. Honestly, since you are looking for a rack, I would suggest double-checking the stability specs before buying anything. Safety is huge when you are lifting alone in a garage. Just make sure you dont rush into a deal just because of the price... seen way too many people get stuck with flimsy gear that wobbles under heavy weight.
