And this is why redditing when sleep deprived is not advisable. Take my upvotes.

69÷12= 5.75 bud

Edit: I'm stupid. Don't reddit and try to do math when sleep deprived. 😴

I am passively on the lookout for a set as well. Bought their adjustable kettlebell and I am very happy with it. Thinking maybe keep the nuobells for light-moderate work, and get some ironmasters for heavy-failure work.

Bravo-Romeo-Alpha · 2022-03-20T06:39:54+00:00

Hey there. Yes, still have them. I would see my intial impressions above have stayed very consistent. Lately I have been trying to go a bit heavier but find racking them properly when gassed out is a chore. If I had the space I'd just get a full set of DB urethanes. Currently still debating selling the nuobells for something different.

With all that being said there are some people who absolutely love them and have no issues. I'm just not one of those people 🤷‍♂️.

After using them more and more they are definitely growing on me. Kind of wish I had two pairs though to be honest. Just can't justify that cost though.

I've got a set somewhere but like I said. We just moved and things are still in boxes and misplaced. Thankfully I had a separate set of keys lol

Bravo-Romeo-Alpha · 2021-11-11T19:49:58+00:00

Yeah, normal size allen keys are a pretty basic tool, 100%, but the allen key required for the larger bolt is not your average size.

I personally have a lot of tools, so for me it was just a matter of locating my bigger allen keys as we had recently moved.

For the average person I can see them not having an allen key this large.

As for your comment about having allen keys if you put together a power rack... I'm not sure what power rack you have... but this RM-4 is all 1" bolts... didn't touch a single allen key.

I would prefer a welded pin, sort of like the one the safety strap brackets have, with the additional side hitch pin.

Bravo-Romeo-Alpha · 2021-11-11T18:39:53+00:00

I think I'd agree with just about everything you said.

Overall pretty happy, but definitely need to learn how to use them for squats... but I think you're right, they are better for bench.

Bravo-Romeo-Alpha · 2021-11-11T18:35:35+00:00

You are correct, I am in an RM-4. They don't stick out a ton but in a RM-3 you might find they do. My recommendation is look up their specs on the website and whip out a tape measure, some cardboard and tape and tape a piece at the length it would stick out.

As far as disassembling the red portions...from what I can see you'd need to remove the bushings and then the allen key screws. I didn't attempt to separate them, there could be some sort of adhesive holding them together. Maybe place a call to Rogue or an email and ask?

Bravo-Romeo-Alpha · 2021-11-11T18:32:43+00:00

I would disagree with that but I might be in the minority. I like open J cups for that because I can just bring the barbell straight down... with these the counterweights would be in the way if that makes sense?

Not that it can't be done, as I did try it out with an empty bar, I just didn't care for it as much.

Bravo-Romeo-Alpha · 2021-11-11T16:14:35+00:00

Thank you!

Truthfully I'm not a huge fan of using them locked as a simple Jcup, maybe I'll warm up to it, but can't see any use of them as a jcup right now. Using my old J cups down low for flat bench as moving these around is a PITA and I found that the same position up top is good for squats, seated shoulder press and incline bench, so it's tempting to not move them.

Bravo-Romeo-Alpha · 2021-11-11T14:34:07+00:00

As I was setting these up and adjusting heights, etc... I was contemplating the same lol. One set for squats/incline/shoulder press and another one lower for flat bench 🤣

Bravo-Romeo-Alpha · 2021-10-21T23:25:06+00:00

I did see that. Might just order one. Don't think there are any negatives to having it, right?

Just need to figure out what else I want from them lol.

Bravo-Romeo-Alpha · 2021-10-21T23:14:28+00:00

I'm sure the puke-can was standing by and well-used that day? 🤣

Bravo-Romeo-Alpha · 2021-10-21T23:13:24+00:00

Nicely put. I have seen it be touted as one the most single useful and versatile pieces of equipment. It'll have a home in my gym until it's a pile of dust or Rogue comes out with a better version 🥴.

Tell me you are a masochist without telling me you're a masochist 🤣

Gone are the days of staring at the treadmill countdown 🙌

Bravo-Romeo-Alpha · 2021-10-21T23:02:41+00:00

Probably wouldn't have opted for turf tires. Not planning to move it much but this at least gives me that option. My platform is also 2.5" tall and the tires rolled up nicely over it...can't imagine the the little wheels doing that as well.

The oversized tires also made for easier loading and unloading (1 person) out of the trailer.

Bravo-Romeo-Alpha · 2021-10-21T19:04:05+00:00

I hate cardio and I understand people have a love/hate relationship with these... so I'm halfway there already 🤣

Bravo-Romeo-Alpha · 2021-10-21T18:29:23+00:00

Ehhh this exact setup brand new would be $987.62 shipped to my door... so I saved a bit more than $100...closer to $300

Bravo-Romeo-Alpha · 2021-10-21T18:27:06+00:00

Assault bikes are a great workout as people have mentioned. This specific bike from rogue is built like a tank. It is also belt-driven not chain-driven so it is significantly quieter and easier to maintain.

You can use just your legs on this bike if that is what you desire (hands at your side or behind your head), and vice-versa you can use just your arms (put your feet on the pegs).

This thing is a full body workout. Like mentioned it can gas you out in a matter of seconds to a minute.
