Even at the higher price now as compared to where it was when it first came out, this is one of the things on the Rogue site where price and quality meet in the middle. It is built well and it cost enough to justify its price. Similar items on their site would be the reverse hyper, or the basic Ohio bar. You pay for what you get, and you don’t throw a fit. I chose this as my first cardio piece for home (my wife previously had a walking pad). I knew I hated it, so that must mean it’s good for me. It’s stout and sturdy and does the job even if you only do 10/20 intervals for warm up.

Don’t take my review as completely endorsing this product. It’s made well and these guys sort of own this niche. The only other producer that most will know in this space is grip genie. You can buy them incrementally as you get stronger. They are priced right and feel really good when you use them. But I feel everybody buys them to start working on their grip. More likely, these are used to fill up space on your wall control.

If I am comparing this to the Amazon special bolt together, this bench is unbeatable. If I am comparing it to the basic Titan flat bench, this is definitely better. Hard to beat the price for a much more than decent bench. It will want to shift a tiny bit side to side with a decent amount of weight, with some of the minimal slop. I think that comes with a simple ladder system of the incline. It’s a good starter bench that you may never need to upgrade. You can kind of store it standing up if you lean the bench pad to the wall side.

I got shipping information that this was on its way but I was nowhere near the post office, I’ll tell you, I’ve been driving all night, my hands wet on the wheel. There was Tanner’s voice in head that drives my heel. Tommy was calling saying “I need you here” It was a half past four and I’m shifting gear. But then it got stuck in Carol Stream.

Always have something in your gym just outside of your reach, or something very far outside your reach. Thats what my 350lb bag I’ve made out from an old zip up duffle bag someone tossed my way. The make up of this bag are 2 heavy duty trash bags, a couple of zip ties, and a lot of duct tape. It is a fat, dense, log of sand. I left the handles on it, but I’m afraid they’re not going to survive. As of now I’ve used it 2 or 3 times for a silly little Between the legs deadlift. Eventually, I will get it to my shoulder. It’s either this bag or myself that will break.
