Highly coveted at first, this handle has become rather polarizing online as of late. While currently only offered in Prime green or all-black, many years ago, Prime had previously offered their RO-T8 series of handles in "N1 Blue" as well as in Red (for Valentine’s Day & Halloween one year) for a very limited time. At HomeGymCon 2024, I finally got to try them and in late 2025, despite only wanting the RO-T8 handles, I picked-up a used, Prime RO-T8 Bar Bundle for around $130.00 from a local seller on marketplace. It’s true - not everyone is going to like these handles. You really need to try a pair before buying them, if at all possible (cough, cough, HomeGymCon 2026, cough, cough.) These RO-T8 handles are marketed to reduce grip fatigue, unwanted tension on your wrist, and the need for wrist wraps - I feel that these claims are accurate. That said, these handles are great for only certain exercises. More specifically, with regards to Doug Brignole’s BRIG20 exercises, the Prime RO-T8 handles can be used for - Upper & Middle Trapezius, External Obliques, and Sissy Squats (when using cables to assist during the exercise.) You are NOT going to want to use these for chest flyes or tricep work.
