I’m a welder, but I’m way better at lifting.

Was a mandatory purchase for my initial rogue home gym order. Very solid, does the job. And well. I just wish I knew about how much status points a UDA would get me when I was a young home gym nerd. But this thing works, powder coat is nice, thick handles is nice. It looks cool and stores well on the matador hanger on my wall

They do the job. No plastic on the ends of the j cup sucks, definitely roughed up my bar and the j cups themselves on several occasions. Also there’s no plastic protection on the bottoms, so you can bang it on a bench press possibly. But they come included as the base j cups themselves on your rogue squat stand/ rack purchases etc. structurally they are very sound

Works extremely well for holding drinks. Even fits big ol thicc Gatorade bottles which are delicious. Can’t wait to put my next drink in this thing. Made out of airplane parts I think. That magnet is strong as heck!

Work well. Always used to be my favs in the commercial gym. Very cheap on Amazon. They do the job. My wife likes to use them because my Keppi open collars are too hard to remove. I didn’t even know you could get cooler collars then this before entering the home gym world

Just got this bad boy in and built. I can get commercial feeling ROM on leg extension, but it’s a little tricky. Haven’t tried it with the machine loaded to my working weight yet, and I don’t think I can wear shoes because I have to slip my foot between the ankle roller and a cross piece very tightly. But one adjustment up, I can’t quite get as much sciencey stretch as you’d want, but it’s still very decent, smooth, and solid. Got 3d printed knurled handles from Kinzi at Kpex homegym lab gym lab’s Etsy, which go on the thigh pad and make the leg curls vastly improved. I can wrap my arms around the handles and bend forward which gives the leg curls again that sciencey stretch you want, if you believe that kind of thing
