Kabuki Strength ShouldeRok

Kabuki Strength ShouldeRok

More than just a simple rehab/prehab or mobility tool, the Kabuki Strength ShouldeRök™ can help produce significant long term effects for any strength athlete—developing the muscles around the complex shoulder joint (the body’s most flexible joint) for higher PRs and reduced injury risks. This unique steel apparatus—created by pro powerlifter Chris Duffin—is similar in design to classic swinging clubs like the Macebell or Gada. With this modern update, though, the science of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization led to some key changes, including a longer shaft for maximum balance and a non-fixed, easy-load club head for quick weight changes between multiple athletes.

One of those pieces of equipment that you should use more, but it inevitably sits in the corner for most of the year. It's a really nice loadable mace with some solid knurling. The nut holding the weight to the base can come loose if you're not careful, so some kind of rubber O-ring might be something to add on if you can.

I purchased the breakdown version of this product and the build on it was so bad that I couldn't get it to twist closed. When I reached out to them to complain, they sent me a new one but I had to pay shipping for the replacement. And they wouldn't take back the product and give me a refund unless I paid to ship it back. So, probably why they went bust. Just crappy service and a rather hard time with QC. Good news is that the replacement was fine, chipped coating and some rust, but functionally good. With the lousy experience I had with the first go-round, I couldn't bother reaching back out to them about it. I've since had the Shoulderok for about 5 years now, and it has been a great tool for loosening my shoulders prior to bench or shoulder day and I don't know what I'd do without it. Knurling is wicked sharp and it really helps with the movement of the mace as it goes around your back and swings forward. Totally love it despite the misery inflicted on my by CS and I only wish I had bought the version that did not breakdown, as I've not once taken it apart.

Its built really well but its not something I'd use very often, and I also don't see many other people using it either. Kinda a fad that came and went, but thats no knock on the product itself

Have had this for ~10 years. It goes in and out of the rotation for me. Mostly out currently. I used to do it prior to every training session. It's fun. It's built to last. I'm not sure how practical it is for my training and time economy currently. If it helps your shoulders or anything else, it's worth it. Don't @ me unless you can spin it with a 45 pound plate.

Nice adjustable mace. Not much else to say. The “nut” that holds the weight in place can come loose but I’m weak enough that there is enough room on the mace that it hasn’t been an issue.

Another item that I should be using more often, and now I probably will since my new gym space has higher ceilings. Great for keeping the shoulder mobility high.

Probably one of the least used items in my gym. Mainly because I don’t take care of my body in the slightest. I just started stretching last week (I’m 31). That being said I would grab this or my Kleva Built Genesis Jack to fend off a home invasion.

Kabuki makes so many great products, and this ShouldeRok is another testament to that. I can use mine inside cause I'm only 5’8”. My only problem with this apparatus is that sometimes it's hard to change the weight cause the threads seem tight and it's hard to get undone.

When I use it my shoulders do feel better, I really should use it more.
