We are always in search of something that we can take out of the hands of overseas suppliers and into the hands of someone local. We are danger close to doing just that.

We have been talking back and forth with our facebook crew and with Chris Spealler to design an American made jump rope. May sound like something small and inconsequential but it isn’t for a guy named Animal.

Animal is a local molder and basically one of those guys that can figure out how to make anything. We have worked out how to mold the names and all kinds of cool stuff into the handle but we were scratching our head on what some of the parts were. Then he found the arm, it is off a remote control car. When I was a kid I had the Frog. That was one of the coolest things in the world at the time and maybe still now. As a side note I purchased it at Slater’s Hardware Store in Lancaster Ohio. That hardware store has survived the economic down turn in large part due to their insane cool stuff factor. They have rockets, huge airplanes and all kinds of cool stuff. Steve makes 550LB Atlas stones and big ass logs as well.

I have diverted from the jump rope a bit so back to my point, we can make anything we want in the US. We have been doing it for years which is a distinct advantage.

Building Families of Equipment

Posted on January 4, 2011 by Rogue

If you go to any good restaurant most likely some where behind the scenes someone is trying to use the fewest amount of ingredients as possible. Our latest creation does just that:

New S-1, S-2 & S-3 Squat Stands

The base is the same across all three squat stands, here are some of many options:

1) Height: 70”, 90”, 108”

2) Pullup Bar on S-2 & 3: You can use the 1.25” OD bars or get the 2” OD bar – Just flip the bar over

3) Dip Station: All new Rogue Matador Dip attachment – This uses our new channel system to attach to the S-2 & 3

4) Safety Arms: The base on the new stands is 48” deep so you can use the new Safety arms on all three versions

5) Plate Storage: Add single or double plate storage to the new unit

We wanted to design a system that you can modify to your training needs and now it is here. With the portability of this system, we can ship it via UPS ground and save a ton on shipping as well.

The feedback has been great so far and we are looking forward to bringing out more attachments for this to include a Yoke conversion kit!

The most frequently asked question is can you do pullups on this without it rocking. The answer is yes but if you plan on doing the kipping type pullup then you need to secure it by using the plate storage, sandbagging or with our new bolt down feet. Check out a vid of our kipping on the S-3 demo.

Things are gearing up for a huge wave of new equipment, so keep an eye on our facebook page! We are hiring more welders regularly now to keep up with everything, thanks to all of you for making that possible!
