Built well, price isn’t horrible, the only detractor is the starting weight is pretty heavy. Doubles as a club.

This is one of those pieces that once you have, you wonder how you made it so far without. If you don’t like to lift heavy things while lifting heavy things, this is for you.

Really a slept on product that is one of the most versatile pieces in the gym. Nordic curls, split squats, pull downs, hip thrusts and more can be done with this piece. It’s a bit expensive for what it is so that’s really the only thing I can knock on it.

The superior gym flooring, come for the price, stay for the smell. Build those forearms and lats pulling them around the garage

V2 that I purchased used. So far build quality is classic Rogue overbuilt, feels very solid. Others have mentioned that due to design, it may not be best for steady state cardio but I’ve done a few 20 minute+ sessions and it’s not bad. Where the suck factor really shines is sprints.

I picked this up from a local crü member for a great price to try out. I use it on a squat variation day and it feels good on the back and shoulders. I don’t really have any complaints on the bar itself, other than it’s a bit of a pain without a dedicated camber j cup.

They hold plates on the rack conveniently. Nothing too mind blowing but the plates slide smoothly on them and they are pretty expensive for what they are.

Mainly picked this up to train on hex bars since that’s what the Army fitness test uses. I got it on marketplace for $300 so a fair amount saved over new, but I’ve only used it once. It just takes up space and boy, what a lot of space it takes. In my Rogue 9 bar holder it eats up several spaces. A bit of a pain to move around and get set up but it’s a sturdy unit.
