This holds you securely, but I had to mod the bar and rollers that engage your ankles. I ordered the larger sized ones and the longer rod that holds them to replace the existing shorter rod and smaller rollers. I also installed a thicker more grippy handle cover for the center handle. While this piece is relatively inexpensive and totally functional from a performance standpoint and 100% worth the purchase, it could be made a little better.

It’s simple, and sturdy. I secured it to the ceiling and after thousands of weight pull-ups it hasn’t budged. There are a multitude of similar options out there that are less expensive, but I can’t speak to those. This for me has been a great add and present essentially from day 1 of my basement gym buildout. I like the diameter of the bar and it’s powder coating, which has held up amazingly well. It holds chalk nicely too.

I use this for a lot of hand to hand dynamic exchange movements with the landmine. It’s inexpensive and has a nice girth and I wouldn’t want anything knurled for that type of work. The large globe end makes me feel secure when I’m going from hand to hand that the handle won’t slip through my grip. I also have JD Gym Equipped handle for Meadows Rows and other single arm pulls.

A definite must if you own the bench versions that this didn’t come with this pad. The padding is way better and more comfortable. The grippy vinyl is so much better as well. It’s an easy swap. I use my old bench pad now to make floor presses more comfortable and I sit on it for low rows on the floor while using my functional trainer.

This bar has held up quite nicely considering it gets its rounds every two weeks into my routine. So it gets high marks for build quality. I use it for BP and OHP and it has really trained all my accessory muscles to fire up during those movements. I applied some skateboard grip tape on bar (neatly as if it came from Bandbell) because I found if I was perspiring more the grip is a little slippery, or at least I perceived it to be, so it gets a stat taken off for performance. The grip tape makes me feel more secure. I only use it with KBs and bands, but the weight holders look to be a nice option to own. It really shouldn’t cost what it does and that’s where it gets dinged for value.

Inexpensive, solid, feel great in palm. Nicely rotating. I would order the SS ball version, by just emailing the seller. I never got charged any more for the SS version. These are fantastic for cable crossover work instead of just grabbing onto cable ball ends. These work for other exercises as well (similar to hammer handles)

These are not as expensive as most of JDs other attachments. I had him shorten the Hammer handles because handles longer than 3” will tend to add torque on your wrist in use. I think the SS ball ending option I chose feels comfortable. They feel great for tricep kickbacks, hammer curls and single arm pushdowns. I rated the performance at 3 stars in their normal format/length, if you opt for shortened ones the performance jumps up.

I have both the standard length and the short 12” versions. Nothing special here. They are durable and helpful in a variety of applications, banded deadlifts, BP, on belt squat, with Bullet Proof Isolator, warm ups, etc. These are likely the very same product from overseas but labeled “Rogue” thereby increasing the price. They work…but so does an off brand right?
