I love this thing. It feels great to use, the powder coat on the handles is nice and grippy, and it does what it's supposed to. I also don't know why so many people seem to regret getting the standard instead of the fat grip width handles. Standard grip is perfect. Why would I want a bigger handle that is going to tire out my hands faster and limit how much rowing I can do? Just get it. It rules.

they sent me a crooked handle. their solution to fix the problem is merely sending me a new one on top of requiring me to go through the hassle of returning the old one. This was one piece of a $9,000 order. There were other issues as well which is very disappointing considering the reputation that rogue supposedly has. If I wanted to run the risk of having poor customer service on top of poor quality equipment, I could have saved over $2,000 and just bought most of this stuff from Titan or Rep. The silver lining is that I split up my gym build out over multiple transactions, so the next 6 squat racks and kilo sets I need have been purchased from other brands. Lo and behold none of them came with issues. A company like this doesn't need my $35,000 order that I budgeted for, but I am sure it doesn't feel good to fumble as bad as they did. Also - it wasn't the trucking company's fault as they tried to tell me. If you never put something on the pallet, the trucking company can't magically make it appear. To rogue - a $3,000 gift card is the only thing I will accept. Please do not contact me if that isn't the resolution.

This is a great piece of equipment and I enjoy using it. Very overbuilt and love the thick grip. My only complaint is that the hole in which you put the bar into is quite a bit more round than a standard Ohio Power bar, which creates a lot of wiggle room. As I’m doing a row movement, the handle will have about 1” of room in which it can move, forward and backwards. If you’re loading the bar up and doing something big like 90+% for 3 reps, you probably won’t notice it. But if you’re using a weight you can rep out for like 8-10 pretty smoothly, you’ll notice the wiggle. It’s not enough to make me tell someone it’s a bad piece of equipment, but I definitely pass along the “flaw”. I know the insertion area probably has to be made a little larger so that it will fit just about any barbell out there, but I wish it didn’t wiggle as much as it does. Don’t hesitate to purchase this piece, but don’t be surprised when you get it.

This seems like a solid piece. It's much larger than I was expecting, but not a bad thing at all. I appreciate the way it can be used as a jack for loading plates prior to use. However, the tube was welded in crooked, so the handles are not in fact parallel. The left handle is significantly lower than the right and the whole thing tilts to the left. I'm not sure this makes a functional difference in terms of muscles work, but my wrist angle is off. Also the finish in and around the tube started chipping off immediately. It is really annoying to buy expensive accessories with such poor quality assurance. If you got a good one, I think this could be a great piece of equipment, but it seems hit or miss and quality so I would recommend you look elsewhere.

This was delivered to me yesterday 11/1/23, within the first use the paint already started chipping off and was everywhere, other than that this is a great piece

Great quality, bigger than the ones I’ve used before

Bought this less than a year ago. Almost immediately paint started chipping off the area where barbell is inserted. Noticed today the area is now rusting. Not typical Rogue quality.

I’m fairly please from a functional perspective with the handle - it’s comfortable and seems well designed. That said mine came with multiple spots where bare metal was showing through the powder coat. I’ve ordered other things from Rogue that showed up flawless so I’m willing to chalk this up to a fluke.
