Super beefy all SS axle bar with fantastic knurl. Beats any on market. If you want rotating collars it’s not your bar, but until that becomes comp standard that feels like a “nice to have but won’t simulate real world”.

Only knock on performance is they feel a little slick in hand compared to other brands and even styles within the Rogue family. Very solid value all things considered and probably just depends on your use for a KB

Not the budget option, but a great one nonetheless. If Ohio local watch the Rogue garage sale anytime you are Columbus local as sometimes gems like these appear at a solid price. Nothing wrong with paying full price, but I’m always a fan of “I’m gonna use it anyway, who cares if it’s already got character”. Solid grip on these that newer ones are lacking. If I did actual KB training I’d pick these over e-coat

Nice pad, nice grip. Great for me, but my ladies absolutely hated as some of them basically were doing a floor press off it or hit them funny in width. Had mine in a Westside bench and sold both together.

Had for quite awhile and moved away from this bench and to all comp benches in my gym. Overall a great piece, just didnt make sense for our direction and limited space especially as we wanted to start running larger competitions.

My piece is the great great grandfather of the Aura. This piece has been through more gyms than a traveling salesman, but it’s finally home here. A purpose driven piece with low versatility, you can use as a poor man’s chest press to burn in at the end of a session, otherwise it has one job it performs admirably. This was clearly before Matrix acquired them but you can still see some common build points were carried over. Frankly, this machine is much more low profile so if any old version pops up on secondary market you can’t go wrong. A cable and a couple pulleys

The premier gripper choice. Best served on your work desk so you can train grip during zoom meetings or long calls!

A super unique take on the camber bar as each arm independently pivots. I have to be honest - I’ve never squatted with one before and don’t plan to. But as an accessory bar it offers massive potential to change the game on a number of lifts and variations!
