Bought an extra pair so I don't have to move them when changing lifts. Very happy with them. Yes, they could scratch my bar because of the metal on the outside is not covered with plastic, but I am not too concerned about keeping everything perfect - I would have to basically not touch anything to ensure that, and that's not why I am lifting. Also, the price for the covered ones is a lot more. I wish these were a little cheaper so I could pick up another pair or two in order to have all my lifts preset in my recently purchased totally awesome Monster Lite Rack that I love so much (seriously).

I bought a second set to hang my Hex bar on the side of my rack. These are very sturdy J Cups with nice rubber inserts.

Things are awesome period!!!!!

I bought a second set of J-cups because I was tired of moving the other pair around on my rack. They're shinier when new than I remember. :-) I also have a pair of the sandwich J-cups. Both have their pros and cons. I prefer the sandwich cups for my squat position and the standard J-cups for my other lifts. I've had no problem with the cups scratching my rack or fitting improperly. They work great.

As others have stated, because the uhmw plastic does not extend over the lip of the standard j cup, there is metal on metal contact. With any decent amount of weight on the bar, the cup and bar grind together. It will leave grooves in your bar and in the cup. If you have a cerakote bar the coating will scrape off over time. You will end up replacing the jcup, bar or both. Do your self a favor and opt for the sandwich jcups, or buy an additional gaurd for the standard jcup.

Almost have had these for a year and holds up well. Unfortunately they lack UHMW on the front lip so I have to be careful not to scratch my beautiful SS Ohio Power Bar. I wish Rogue would address this because some of the competition has got this right. And also I would have preferred my SML-2 with the 1” sandwich cups instead of these 3” standard ones.

I bought a second set of these to have options, in reading the other reviews I was concerned about trouble re-racking as there is limited clearance on either side. I have not found that to be an issue, they are great.

I have a huge Rogue Froning Rack. It is the absolute best for pull-ups. It has a lot of space and to save time during workouts we added 2 more pairs of j-cups to the rack. One stays on the inside of the back to hold the Rogue Ohio Power Bar for bench press. Another pair stays on the inside of the front to hold the Rogue Ohio Bar for squats. The other pair stays on the outside of the rack to hold the Rogue Rackable Curl Bar and the Rogue Multi Grip Bar. The Rogue Men’s Training Bar stays on the floor. Everything is ready to go without time wasting adjustments. It is also so much easier loading the Rogue Plates on and off when the bar is on the j-hooks and not on the floor. Love my Rogue setup.
