A Grip World preview! We’re continuing to add training variations for the Rogue Grip System. We’ve been testing this sphere in the Rogue HQ gym. Holds, pull-ups and varied lifts have proven this to be one of the most versatile grip tools that we’ve built. At 12 inches in diameter and strong enough to be clipped overhead, this grip tool is unique Rogue Fitness.

Test: max number of dead hang pull-ups in the three minutes. The athlete notched seventeen. It “felt like 100.”  For more grip aids and strength tools, check the Grip World.

Here is the latest in the Rogue Grip System. We were just testing it out at Rogue HQ with a tight grip and a full turn out. It brought a new level of hard to traditional pull-ups. At full extension, the emphasis is on your forearms whereas the higher you pull – the more your hand grip is in play. We’ll keep you posted for when it’s ready to go. This one is tough!

Years ago, the question of what products were needed for CrossFitters was asked on the CrossFit message board. One of the products that came out of that discussion was a plyobox that shipped flat to save on shipping charges. They could be put together in less than 10 minutes and featured perfectly cut angled sides and predrilled holes. All you had to do was add glue and assemble.

Here is the next generation of Rogue Wood Plyoboxes that feature pocket screw construction for a seamless look and ultimate strength.

All boxes are CNC cut to exact dimensions. Assembly is a breeze using the provided hardware. Glue is highly recommended but not included.

Get the perfect box you have been dreaming of without buying hundreds of dollars worth of power tools or paying for exorbitant shipping on a pre-assembled box.

You do not really know what functional fitness is until you have done workouts with sandbags. ROGUE TACTICAL Sand Bags have 3 separate handles allowing for a vast range of carrying methods and movements, and if you really want to make things difficult, you can avoid the handles altogether. Lifting a sandbag adds a dimension to the workout that a stiff, more predictable and controllable weight like a barbell cannot provide. The softness also makes them safe to run with both inside and outside the gym.

They are fantastic for both individual and team workouts, as was shown at the 2010 CrossFit games, where they really took a beating and kept going strong. Possible movements include, but are not limited to: Shoulder carries, the team carries, farmers walks, cleans, jerks, thrusters, snatches, squats, swings.

They come in three sizes, fillable up to 45 pounds, 80 pounds, and 160 pounds. The extremes were chosen to match the weight of an empty barbell and the average weight of an adult male. However, a 45-pound sandbag is much harder to move around than a bar, and carrying the large sandbag is similar to rescuing an unconscious man who can not help you get him into position. The medium weight can be used for a wide range of movements and is an ideal weight for loaded runs.

ROGUE TACTICAL Sand Bags are made in America with American made 1000D MIL Spec CORDURA, that means they are tough as nails! This material is relied upon in the most austere of conditions every day!

Each bag and filler is handmade in Ohio and inspected to meet the Rogue Specifications by a retired Special Ops Team Sergeant. Attention to detail is first and foremost.
