Rogue Donkey

This thing is very solid and nice to use for whatever you use it for. Reverse hyper, GHD, GHD sit ups are my staples. I was not the biggest fan for back extensions. There aren't any handles. Things I don't like are the price l, the size and the weight. It's an absolute monster and moving this thing even inches is an event. With the new options coming out that angle and have quality of life features this will become obsolete.

The Rogue Donkey has been an awesome addition to my gym. I use it almost every lower body day, at the very least as part of my warm-up, and it’s become a staple in my routine. The versatility is a huge plus—being able to do reverse hypers, GHD work, and more on one piece makes it worth the space. It’s built like a tank and feels incredibly stable during use. One of the biggest benefits for me personally is that it actually helped improve my sciatica. Regular use of reverse hypers on this has made a noticeable difference in how my lower back feels. Overall, this is a high-quality, multi-purpose piece that I get a ton of use out of and would definitely recommend.

A great option for commercial gyms or home gyms with space restrictions since it acts as both a ghd and reverse hyper. All though I would argue a separate ghd and reverse hyper would feel better this is one of the best combos on the market and my personal favorite

I have had multiple iterations of the GHD and the reverse hyper. I had a rogue GHD and a rogue reverse hyper. They took up too much space for both. So I then sold the reverse hyper and bought a rack reverse hyper that fit on the RM6 rack. I still had the GHD taking up space. So I sold both and bought a donkey and I am very happy with it and I use it more than 4x a week so it's a good buy for me. The adjustability on the feet portion of the GHD is crappy. It's so damn heavy it's hard to move by yourself without help. The "nut saver" pad is a good thing because I don't want to be slamming them on the GHD. It's essentially an Abrahms GHD and adjustable like that one, again it's difficult to adjust so I keep it in one spot for me. As for the reverse hyper, It's a reverse hyper machine. This thing will not move. I've had a lot of weight on it and it will not move this piece. It is large and cumbersome, but then again so am I. It does take the place of two machines so I'll take it. I am overall very very happy with it.

The Rogue Donkey is built like a tank. It does not move when performing the various exercises this piece of equipment offers. The padding is superb. The design for the removable center pad is well thought out. I feel would improve this piece of equipment would be to add handles to help get up after performing back extensions. For example, I spot my wife when she goes to failure on back extensions to get back up. I use a broom stick in this situation. It would be nice to simply add handles. Overall, great adjunct to the home gym. Wife loves it.

This takes my favorite reverse hyper and adds an excellent GHD to it - the ultimate cup holder! Jokes aside, it’s heavy duty and super stable. I like the split pad and that you can add the center pad if you don’t want the split pad. I like the handle on the foot plate for adjustment. If it’s going to cost a lot and take up a ton of space in your home it should at least do more than one thing. Plus, it’s cool that you can just buy it as an add-on if you already have the Hyper Z.

Obviously does both the GHR and reverse hyper as well as some other exercises, but you better have some pretty strong hamstrings to be able to do GHR's on a flat knee pad like that. On regular GHR's having that rounded pad gives you good options because the further back you are the easier they become, and the more you scoot forward the harder it is because the knees are higher and in a fixed position, like how this setup is. Its good for space saving if you want both

The “Dunky” - best said with worst Shrek impression. It’s an absolute monster and will Not move anywhere. As a GHD it’s solid. Adjustability can be a pain because everything weighs a metric butt ton. We use bands to help individuals first using and they can wrap around foot platform and hold steady with confidence. As a hyper it has thought of everything. Our Titan hyper was hated by many of our female lifters because of the pressure points. I didn’t understand but I was told it’s because I’m male and never birthed a child - fair point. All love this piece. But while potentially inadvertently looking after mothers, Rogue purposely blessed the fathers with a removable center pad ensuring that there never an incidental nutcracker incident. We salute you engineers.

I have had the Rogue Donkey for almost 3 years. Overall this piece is incredible, and and very sturdy. I have loaded over 130kg in plates on the hyper and there is absolutely zero movement from the machine when im doing heavy hypers with momentum. The foot plate is easy to adjust, which is helpful because I use a different setting for sit ups, back extensions, and hypers. I do wish there was somehow the ability to switch the pop pin side, because the side that has the pop pin is towards the wall in my setup. There are very few drawbacks, the first being that there is absolutely nothing to help you get up from doing back extensions. If you went close to failure its hard to crawl your way back up from the bottom of the back extension if you are too tired to use momentum to get back onto your knees. The second frustrating feature is getting plates on and off. The space to get plates in between the weight horn and the frame is small and its easy to scratch your hand or the plates on some of the inward facing bolts. I would not reccomend using plates that do not have a grip because it can be awkward getting pates on and off of the weight horn. I personlly only have competition bumpers so loading it is incredibly annoying which has at times caused me to skip using them. I also wish the weight horn had a bearing because the plates spin in use and it wears like crazy. The weight horn spinning on a bearing would solve that problem instantly. I have also found myself using the collars INSIDE the plates to space them out, then a second set of axle collars to keep the plates from coming off. The Donkey definitely has its flaws, but overall, once its loaded the weight of the unit makes it perfect for the hypers, and the GHD function works fine as long as you get used to how to get out. I might find myself making a modification to add handles soon to solve the GHD dismount issue, probably drilling holes to add the monster lite plate posts along the front upright as handles.
