Everything heavy canvas that Spud makes is the highest of quality. I like how these ones have the straps that rest on the bar as I've used other versions where they just give you a big metal clip which ends up chewing into the pull up bar.

Pretty standard offering these days, rogue's UHMW is some of the better ones on the market as a lot of other companies cheap out here, however Rogue charges extra to include it and you need to put it on yourself which is annoying.

These are solid and well built. It is annoying that you have to attache the plastic itself and doesn't come standard. I stacked this below my 6 bar holder and while it works, there is a bit of a bigger gap between the 6th and 7th bars. I use this for my camber bar however so no harm done.

A staple in most commercial or hotel gyms. I found use for them back then as a way to super set in bicep or tricep movement, but from a home gym perspective these are pretty useless. Takes up a lot of space and limited use at a high cost.

This bar gets a lot of hate, I think part of it is we expect so much from Rogue and this product has one huge flaw, which is the pad. If they could just put on a better one they could leave the rest of the bar as is and it would be great.

Icarian gets a lot of love, and rightfully so, I just don't like the mounting pins on these ones. It's a bit low for me and the metal knubs dull knurl, some will have plastic casing but in a commercial setting these usually crack and break off.

I've owned and used many ropes. The amazon ones are fine if you just want to get one to get one but I've found the rope tends to be stiffer and more slick, and sometimes the bottom attachments can fail.

These things will kick your ass. I personally like the tripod design a bit better as they're easier to maneuver, but this big beefy boy may be worth the hassle for you.
