This bar will only be of value to you if you 1. Have Rogue’s Dumbell Bumpers, 2. Need short bar because of space limitations. Those two reasons ere valid for me. It’s exceptionally made - after all it is just a mini Rogue Ohio barbell. It’s cerakoted with the Rogue branding on center of shaft. The sleeve collars are designed to allow the dumbbell bumpers to nest over them to increase the loading space on the already short sleeves. I use it for straight bar curls and curl to underhanded shoulder press movements. I also was using it with my Bulldog pad for chest supported rows because I needed to do them inside my rack and couldn’t use a standard length barbell. It is not rackable.

The C.U.B.B. Does not live up to its name for me personally. Even if this was your only bar, you would be itching to get yourself some additional barbells. This is a good adjunctive barbell. It is impeccably fabricated, which enables it to function in a number of configurations. I purchased the MACK Daddy full modular bar package. Where I have both long and short sleeves, can make it rackable, and can configure it just as and cable attachment. It’s interesting for bench press to incorporate a rotational resistance movement on the concentric phase. Curls are also nice with the CUBB. I’ve never used it as just a cable attachment. I currently have it configured in its shortest variant and use it for Arnold OH shoulder presses. That is the movement that is absolutely exceptional with this bar. The sleeve collars happen to fit exactly with my Rogue Dumbbell bumper recessed sleeve (as if they were designed to do so and mimic the exact fit like on the actual Rogue C-60B dumbbell bar). I have all the different levels of resistance bands and I thought 3 sets of backups because that’s the only thing that will wear over time. The supplied bands haven’t worn down yet but I still got several backups in case this company doesn’t survive. The precision components and the durability of the components are amazing. This comes from the company having a background outside of the gym equipment community (I think automotive?). Couple of wishes - wish that the grips had a knurling option, - wish bar was all black without the neon green (unless I had a gym equipped with all Prime Fitness pieces)

This is a fairly well made rack attachment. The foam rollers are comfortable and still firm, the vinyl is nice and grippy. It is easy to position exactly for your height. I had to line the inside of bracket with UHMW tape because there is nothing to protect your rack surface. I paid $375 for it. I sold this when I got the leg attachment for my IM bench.

These are durable and have lasted over 6 years without any defects. They have more of a dead bounce with a durometer reading of 88, which I prefer in my basement. I had the colored V1 too for many years.

As is, this piece is marginally decent. I upgraded the rollers to wider diameter injection molded ones. I also added a longer weight horn and use a 4” weight plate spacer to push the plates further out to get a better resistance curve. I also swapped out the side bolts for some eyebolts and connect my functional trainer to it. With those mods the performance bumps up. I can’t wait for Dialed Motion to release their leg curl compatible with IM bench, but for now, this is the best option available, without buying a stand-alone unit.

I grabbed a pair of these 45lb Deep Dish Plates that were a Nickel Plated Special Edition that Le Master Barbell Company made for a weightlifting meet. This was the only unused pair. I mounted them flanking the TV in my gym purely as decor. I’m unsure how true to weight their full set is. It was these or the Rogue Arnold ones, and the limited edition dick plates won out. Performance for my application got 5 stars.

Love the knurling, love the customizability for length too. Love supporting Chris and a small USA company. They are obviously on my UDA but I also have a pair the has spent some time in my Rogue trolley arms, but now reside on my Powertec Belt squat as added handles to balance for Split squats.

These are basic and I just wanted the wider version. I properly upgraded them with a set of fixed stainless steel knurled handles from JD Gym Equipped. I also lined the inside with UHMW tape to protect the sleeve of my barbell. This is how it should come! That’s why I docked the rating on build quality for just having Vinyl grips and no protective lining.
