They're bands, they got picked when finishing out an order from Rogue to get a "3 ships free" deal. We have to change them out annually, as they are stored in an open air gym in Florida. I don't think that any other brand will last longer. I have noticed that the heavier bands are sometimes shorter or longer than the other, we simply added that resistance/color to another order from Rogue, because no gym is ever finished, and matched them as close as we could to make an even pair. That was kind of aggravating when doing squats or presses and the bar felt misloaded.

Got to use the metal versions at a competition, and they had been on my radar ever since. Completely unnecessary, but what they lack in practicality they make up for in coolness. They're permanently attached to one of our axles, and have made that bar more popular than it already was. Strongly recommend if you can find them on marketplace or second hand.

A member made our log out of 12" pipe. Until doing competitions it was the only one I had ever used, so wasn't sure if ours was good or bad. I can only compare it to a Pitbull 12", and the only difference I could tell was the tape used on the Pitbull to make the clean easier, even the weight was the same. Hands down everyone's favorite implement to use, it leaves a bruise on your arms from cleaning it, but it's strongman, deal with it. I've added tape to the center of our log now that I know what I've been missing. My guy gets 5 stars.

Great quality as with most things Rogue. The only complaint is lack of a place to step up, but that's probably because a Rep GHD is beside it. The adjustment system for the footplate is a much better design than Rep's for our application.

It was an upgrade from the original adjustable bench we had, but it didn't take long to upgrade the upgrade. It looked great after putting it together, and that's where the "good" ends. The feet aren't flat, so there is a constant wobble. The system used adjust it isn't very stable either, making it impossible to know which foot is the bent one, even when the pad is set flat. It's our secondary bench in our gym, a Rep adjustable is the main bench now. It is the go-to bench when we hang kettlebells off a bar with bands to make a poor man's earthquake bar because of the added instability. It's giving our Reverse Hyper a run for it's money as most popular piece to store your stuff on. Titan did a great job selling us a Rep bench. This will be replaced as soon as the wood on the back pad finishes rotting enough to make it truly unusable. Save your $ and buy a Rep bench in your first go.

Great option to test your grip. It's pretty humbling if you've been using a Rolling Thunder, axle bar or pinch blocks and think your grip is up to snuff. Great addition to grip gauntlets.

Great upgrade for belt squats compared to what Rogue includes with their Rhino. Fits short/smaller people better and doesn’t dig into your hips.

Got a lot more use than I expected out of this. It feels great on facepulls, tricep work and use it for chest supported rows on a Rhino/cable. I guess you can use it for abs too, but no thank you it's all about the powerbelly here abs are for kids.
