All of Rogue the Fitness Lat Attachments

The top of this article features all of the links to purchase these items if you're here for our affiliate links (thank you so much!). Keep scrolling to read about each one or to watch the original YouTube video on them.

Ibought every cable attachment that Rogue makes. Ok, technically I didn't buy ones that were functionally the same just made of a different material (leather vs webbed tricep straps for example) , but I bought every unique one they make. Did I need this stuff? No, my cable machine came from a commercial gym that was closing down and it came with everything they had, honestly more than anyone needs but I wanted to do some upgrading and thought it might make for a fun video so here we are.

The theme for this video (and article) is that all of these items, from a price standpoint, are hard to justify. They're honestly just expensive and when I bought them all they cost over $900 for 6 items including shipping. That cost a few months later has ballooned to over $1,000. Do I regret my purchases? No, I think they're all very well made and function probably better than expected overall but that doesn't mean I couldn't get them from somewhere else for less (though admittedly not remotely at the same quality).

In this article (and the video) I'll also offer up a few alternatives if you can't seem to stomach spending quite as much. I get it, it's a lot and you can get the same functionality for a lot less.

Rogue's Multi Grip Cable Attachment

I originally purchased this in September of 2020 and it was much more reasonably priced then but has since shot up quite a bit. I have a hard time recommending this to most people because of the price hike but after having it for a few months and allowing the sticker shock to wear off I'm pretty happy with it. It's a nice piece of equipment at 48" long with 4 sets of handles and weighs in at a hefty 25lbs.  The size can also be it's own worse enemy because your machine probably doesn't have enough resistance to support it which makes switching between weights, or between people, when it's attached, a difficult task. Made in the US and very well made at that, this thing will outlast your kid's kids but at the size and price it's probably a bit hard to justify for a home gym. If you can manage to convince yourself (or the wife) to pick one up it's a pretty piece with nice welds, knurled handles, a quality powder coat finish (though mine was a bit off where the cable attaches but not a big deal).

Budget Alternative: Titan Fitness Multi Grip Lat Pulldown

A good option to look at if you're not up for paying for the Rogue quality. This is essentially the same thing at a much lower price. I say essentially because that change in price has to come from somewhere. This is an imported item that doesn't feature the same build quality but it does accomplish the same thing on a daily basis in your gym. You won't be bragging about the welds and showing it off to your family (who does that?) but it'll get you to the same place in the end.

Rogue Tricep Strap

When I first got this in I thought no matter what I paid for this, it was too much but after using it for months I have to say I really like it. If you're the creative type you can find a ton of uses for this strap and I find it hits muscles differently and effectively for certain exercises. I do wish the padding was more substantial or durable but that might be me nitpicking. Technically the padding works quite well I just debate how well it'll last after a few years of use. Now there are cheaper options for sure but once you factor in shipping, quality, Rogue's customer service, and that Rogue name the difference either isn't worth it or the prices end up being the same.

Rogue makes two versions of the tricep strap the nylon webbed version and the leather version which is actually made by Pioneer and sold through Rogue. Both are very well made you'll just have to make a choice as to which one you prefer.

Alternative Choices for Tricep Straps

If you're looking for something a little different out of your tricep strap here's a few I think are worth a look. Some of these are also sold on Rogue's website though there are cheaper (and more expensive) options elsewhere.

Rogue Single Handle Cable Attachment

I’m going to start off by saying this thing is pricey especially considering they’re sold individually. I’m not backing down on this one, there’s no way around it, it costs too much for what it is. But I also really like it. Everytime I buy something like this and need to feel better about my purchases or justify them to Wynie, I like to play a game called at least I didn’t buy something from Prime Fitness. Their Kaz Handles are over $135 shipped for the pair so… I mean I basically saved money buying these. I was losing money by not buying them… (quietly) because these only cost me $105 shipped. Wynie: what, Me: Nothing honey. Jokes aside, they're really well made, rotate and move very smoothly through the range of motion, and besides the price, which is the theme for this video, they’re great. Exceptional build quality and better than what you’ll find in many commercial gyms. Actually my old handles are from a commercial gym and these blow them away. Are they necessary, no, but then again all of these items are over the top for a home gym

Alternative Choices for Handles

There's a ton of companies that make these things so rather than post every single option I'll give a middle and budget tier. That's not to say Rogue is the fanciest option, not even close in this category but perhaps covering all the options is better left for another video and article.

Rogue Stainless Lat Bar

Did I need to upgrade from my old lat bar? Not at all, but then again I didn't need any of the things on this list. I'll be the first to tell you my old stuff accomplished all the same things as would many options that cost much less. That being said I'm glad I have this thing. It clearly belongs in a commercial gym but I take pride in knowing I can pass this onto my kids. At 48" long and fully knurled with a stainless steel finish and a laser cut Rogue logo it's a beautifully done attachment and a huge step up from my old cheap chrome plated one.

Rogue Grip Triangle

 Rogue's grip triangle comes in two variations, the standard grip weighing in at 5lbs with 1.3" diameter handles and the Monster grip with 2" handles and weighing in at 10lbs. They both have handles that are about 7" long (the Monster is 7.5") with laser cut steel plates holding it all together. The black powder coat is textured and it looks and feels great to use. With that being said it might be the hardest thing on the list to justify. The price is pretty high for what it is and there are a lot of cheaper options out there. If you want the best, this might be it but it's not going to do anything a cheaper one won't (except maybe last forever). 

Rogue Tricep Pushdown

At the risk of repeating myself this is a very well done attachment. With pretty welds and a nice textured black powder coat finish it does everything a cheaper alterative would, this one will just outlast you. The handles have about 6" of usable space but I tend to hold the balls at the bottom (ok I know how it sounds reading that...) to force myself to really contract those triceps,  After buying all of these I'm not sure what I'm going to do with all these carabiners but I do know these attachments are going to be a staple in my workouts until I'm too old to do it anymore.
