Rogue CG-1 Cable & Landmine Attachment

Outstanding construction quality. My wife and I purchased these handles and a ton of other gear including a squat rack. The build quality is exceptional. Design is great. We just installed the rack into the floor of the garage. Very stable.

Close Grip - Amazing Product, size is perfect for close grip pulls, knurling is the Goldilocks of knurls found on the Ohio bars. The last close grip attachment you’ll ever buy - no regrets.

The CG-1 is one of those Rogue attachments that looks simple on the surface but ends up becoming a “must-have” if you’re already invested in their ecosystem. I bought it mainly for lat pulldowns and low rows on the Functional Trainer, landmine rows on Pritchett pad, and it’s been brilliant. Build Quality & Knurling The first thing you notice is the knurling — it’s outstanding. Perfect grip, not overly aggressive, and the whole attachment is surprisingly lightweight. The machining and finish are excellent, as you'd expect from Rogue. Some reviewers left a bad review because it wasn't perfect - its not a piece of aeronautical equipment, not having 100% smooth edges shouldn't be an issue for an attachment. Versatility What really makes it shine is the sheer number of hand positions and widths you can use. Wide, narrow, neutral, — everything feels natural. For lat pulldowns and cable rows, it’s been fantastic. There isn't an angled option but Rpgue has separate attachments for this purpose. And even though Rogue lists “landmine” in the name, they’re very clear that this is primarily a lat-pulldown tool, with landmine compatibility as a bonus. That’s exactly how it functions: lat pulldowns first, landmine rows second. Using It With the Pritchett Pad I also own the Pritchett Pad, and I’ve had zero range-of-motion issues. Some people online mention problems with plates hitting the back of the pad, but in most of those cases: Their landmine post may be positioned too far back They used 45s, which are naturally huge Or they didn’t realise you can simply move the landmine slightly forward to clear the pad I experimented with landmine hole position just for use with the the Pritchett Pad and have never had the plates touch the back. If you do have issues, there are easy fixes: Move the landmine sleeve forward one hole Use smaller plates (25s or 10s) 1st Put a collar behind of the plates Or simply use the Pritchett Pad exactly as Rogue intend — the geometry works perfectly Reaching the Bar / Liftoff Solutions Some users said they couldn’t reach the attachment when it’s resting low. There are loads of simple workarounds, many already recommended by reviewers: Attach a j-cup under the Pritchett Pad to act as a “rest” Use a peg pin through one of the pad’s holes and knock in with your knee during liftoff Use a small Rogue deadlift jack Or a simple, cheap car jack from Amazon (this is what I use) All of these solve the problem effortlessly. Freestanding Landmine Rows If you’re not using a Pritchett Pad and you’re doing freestanding landmine rows, the CG-1 does work — but you’ll probably want to use smaller plates or a collar to improve clearance. This isn’t a flaw; it’s simply because the attachment wasn’t designed primarily for that purpose. The Rogue product page even explains that the primary function is lat pulldowns, not freestanding landmine rowing. So if your main goal is freestanding landmine work, a different attachment would probably suit you better. But if your main goal is pulldowns and you’re already in the Rogue rack ecosystem (Pritchett pad owner), this is perfect. Overall Thoughts For me, the CG-1 has been a fantastic addition to the Functional Trainer setup: Excellent knurling Lightweight Beautifully machined Tons of grip options Works flawlessly with the Pritchett Pad Great for pulldowns and low rows Landmine functionality works as long as you understand its intended use It’s one of those attachments that just enhances everything — smoother rows, better pulldowns, and far more hand-position variety than standard handles. In the Rogue ecosystem, especially paired with a Functional Trainer and Pritchett Pad, it’s an absolute no-brainer.

The feel of the handles on this attachment is perfect. There’s no comparison between this and a regular lat pulldown bar. Trust me. If you do rows and lat pulldowns, you be notice a huge difference in feel and overall enjoyment during these lifts. Worth every penny!

This is the nicest close grip handle I have ever used. It is very lightweight, the knurling on the handles is top notch.

The build quality on this was outstanding, the knurling feels perfect and its super light. I was debating between this and the Rep Kleva attachments and i'm very happy i went with Rogue's instead. Very good quality build.

I picked up the cambered multigrip attachment along with an additional set of 20° grip handles. Wanted it primarily for landmine work with my Pritchett pad. I’m glad I did. It’s excellent for working different parts of my back and the angled grips open up more options, especially since you can 180 the orientation of the attachment and invert the grip that way. When using a Pritchett pad it can be kinda tricky to reach the attachment but I got creative with a j-cup to prop the barbell on and it lets me use this attachment just fine

Highly recommend, totally versatile attachment that lets you work back from various positions. Attachment is light and versatile.
