Donnie Thompson and the Rogue DT Tempering Rollers

Published: January 14, 2019 | Updated: April 14, 2025

Rogue’s DT Tempering Rollers were co-developed with powerlifting legend Donnie Thompson—creator of the Thompson Fatbell; the Fat Pad; and the Belt Squat Belt—among many other innovations. In his South Carolina gym; Thompson has helped introduce “body tempering” as a heavy-duty upgrade over traditional foam rollers; utilizing weighted cast-iron cylinders to break up trigger points and relieve tightness in the joints; muscles and fascia. Rogue has refined those original prototype cylinders into our 24″ DT Tempering Rollers; available here in 50LB and 80LB increments. Learn More: https://www.roguefitness.com/rogue-dt-tempering-roller
