So glad Rogue is partnering with Mutant Metals, seems like a great outcome based on some of the response to the velocidor release.

Just ordered the rogue version of the mutant metals dip attachment. The ability to put the handles on uprights and spotter arms is what did it for me.

If Rogue reads through these comments I want them to know that the owner of vendetta strength actually mentioned that he would love for Rogue to assist with production of the Vendetta brackets/ adjustment system for lever arms so that he could come out with more products. It might turn out to be financially advantageous for both companies. So please put the word out GGR because it would only mean more awesome products for the home gym community :-)

Great review Coop! Love it!

I have this attachment. I love it. It is too heavy though, some people will struggle to put it up and attach a pin through it. It might be less useful to some for that reason, or folks dont want to mess with it, or someone might need help to put it up if they are not as strong (45 pounds, unwieldy and need to align a pin could be tricky for some) They could have used 11gauge steel, and shaved off some weight. BUT once set up it is amazing. I didnt think I would use the angles, but I do, and its helping some triceps issues I had. Angles are gold! knurling is perfect. handles are perfect. Its not that much more than other dip attachments, and the options are worth it, for a lifetime of dip variations. worth it. Also, I had a friend drill out the storage post, and bolted to my lat pulldown, so the dip attachment stores out of the way. I have currently been using this attachment three times a week, because I like it so much.

I like that you're doing a Rogue product review on a Rep rack.

I have one and I use it with my RML-3W it works great and is very diverse and usable for several applications. Hang it on the wall out of the way or use it on your rack in several different configurations. It's such a great addition to my humble garage home gym!

A possible solution to the button issue mentioned at the 15:37 mark would be for rogue to create a washer that has a button hole in it so it goes flat once inserted. They may need to make the insert pin a little longer so you can use the thread locker to tighten it in place.

With the addition of the monster bracket. It would be a great addition to every home gym, even if you don't have a power rack.

What I didn't like about the MM UDA and Rogue's V... offering was that rogue filed a patent and tried making the intellectual property theirs. In that patent it encompassed the whole MM design with the addition of angle adjustment. You can't patent something that exists it has to be novel. The patent wasn't specific to the adjustable angle of grips it effectively would have patented the whole design much of which was MM's. This might still be the case too if they continue with their patent plans. Reminds me of who invented the telephone history and even the patent suggests Alexander Graham-Bell did but in reality Antonio Meucci and Philipp Reis each created a telephone like devices before Bell's patent was filed. The US House of Representatives viewed Antonio Meucci's invention so similar that it would have been enough to have prevented Bell's patent. The angle adjustment aspect is patentable for Rogue but the width adjustment is not. I am not a patent attorney but I did well in IP law in law school.

I like that Rogue Fitness and Hammer Strength add tons of attachments to their power racks to add lots of different exercises besides just bench and squat to a power rack setup. Hammer Strength makes add ons as well.

Thanks Coop. One of the (many) things I like about the Mutant Metal dip bar, least the 1" version, is the J-Cup style attachment to the rack. Just slide the pin in and swing down. Alas their 5/8" version only comes with a hitch pin. Same with this. Not end of the world, just looks like a really nice way to manage these bulky attachments.

I like Rep Fitness’ Drop-in Dip Handles, but think storage would be an issue. The Rogue Velocidor could be stored on the wall using the 3”x3” section they include. Storing on my rack is not an option with Ares and weight storage on the rack.

$300 NOT including shipping. I'll buy it in my dreams tonight :)

Great review. Think a collab between Rogue and Mutant Metals would be a great outcome given the similarities between the products. Love that you touched on the additional Monster channel. This with the rogue jammer pull up bar makes it possible for those with smaller spaces (without racks) to do dips and pull ups by attaching to studs instead of relying on hydrid dip bars/ pull ups bars which you've reviewed in the past! Would love a review on the Jammer pull up bar x Velocidor combo compared to some of the dip bars and pull up bars combos you've reviewed previously

That thing looks awesome up close. I wish I could put it on the rack easily like the Rep fitness one. They should of put a permanent pin on the bottom to store it in down position. And a hitch pin on top

Dear Coop, Fan of all the work you do and really respect your opinion so much so it’s it’s almost like gospel to me. You give great reviews on all gym equipment that when you say something is good or not it’s enough for me to take your word for it. I recently hurt my lower back and Amazon is selling a belt squat machine for $699 by a company named Sydee by chance of you seeing this comment would love your thoughts on it being junk or not

Definitely agree on the weight thing. I'm all for good build quality, but when I'm wrestling something overhead, while trying to get linch pins to go through 4 holes without being crooked, I'd much rather have that thing weigh 20 pounds than 45 pounds. Lots of homegym people don't have a crew of meatheads around when it comes time to hook up rack attachments.

the have it for the monster light, 5/8 holes too, which is awesome.

I realize that Rogue has built there business around powder coating steel, but to reduce weight they should make the body of this out of aluminum. Aluminum can be powder coated, and they should use gloss black as Coop mentioned. Throw in some MM stainless style handles and upgrade to a magnetic pin and they would have the ultimate solution.

The adjustability is nice, but functionally I prefer the new Rep drop-in handles that allow me to do work between uprights. Could definitely use with a belt squat attachment. Also easy for assisted movements w bands, etc. plus you can to dips, pull-ups, AND inverted rows 🥳

I might consider this but that's just because I'm a huge weighted dip enjoyer (trying to get it to 200lbs). Currently at 185.

👍 That looks awesome! I don't have a Rogue rack, I have a ForceUSA rack but dip bars for racks have always been terrible in terms of width for the most part. I think a premium adjustable dip bar (& pullup useability) like that is the #1 best & most useful attachment anyone could buy, for the vast majority of people... I wish I could get one for my rack, I'd spend any amount of money for one . . .

This is sick, is there any adapters or anything I could use to put this on a 2in rep rack?

I bought mutants metal one and love it

Splitting the difference and having the Mutant Metals design but with the button pin that allows for multiple angles would be my ideal. Seeing the pictures of it at the end of the video got me instantly more excited to look into that (or see what a possible collab brings out) than the entire 20 minute video on the Velocidor, even though that looks nice too. I’m one of those gym owners that doesn’t want a workout just moving attachments around my cramped garage and then placing onto the upright. It’s the greatest friction that gets in the way of whether or not an attachment gets used or not- do I want to go through the hassle / exertion to move this thing around in space and place onto my upright or would I rather just do an alternative exercise and skip it? 90% of the time it’s the latter.

They should have used this concept with individual dip handles that attach to each upright. All of the controversy would have been avoided, would not cannibalize matador sales, and would provide a truly unique option. The Y style dip attachments tend to make the whole rack shake while using them. The individual dip handles don't have that problem because the load is distributed evenly between the uprights. I have a version of these made by Black Widow and they are fantastic. But I would certainly consider an adjustable option if it was available.

Coop, not sure if you actually tried it on your rig. But I noticed it was off-center in the videos when attached (as it is on mine, I thought possibly mine was just a fluke). When the Velocidor is setup on the rig, the bottom pin hole isn't centered with the rig holes so a second Hitch-pin won't fit through. (I have the Rogue Monster Velocidor and the PR5000 so everything is the 1inch). Also, while the 12 inch wall attachment was nice, it only has holes on the upper section, so if wall mounted, your stuck with having to unpin and remount solo. I ended up drilling additional holes to match up with the bottom on the 12inch strip, so I could utilize both pins, to make "storing it" easier. However, because the strip is only 12 inches, the Velocidor ends up swinging down into the wall. I ended up mounting a small piece of wood directly underneath to circumvent this. I think as overbuilt as this whole product is, if they're going to go out of their way to include a wall strip, it should've been a 14 inch strip, with holes that line up to both pin holes on the Velocidor. That allows you to wall mount it, utilize 2 pins, and have it be able to store down without needing to do the "Hold, pull the pin, lift it higher, re-pin bottom, then lower to stored position. Long timer viewer, first time commenter. Awesome Review Coop.

IMO the textured powdered coat is to help with moving it since it is heavy. Less likely to slip in your hands

Please review the Pepin fast series adjustable dumbbells

That is a whole-notha-leval, looks like its time to upgrade my Monster Matador!

They have a mutant metals rogue version coming. Chris already has a prototype at his home gym

Coop, how 'bout a review of the Rogue Manta Ray Adjustable Bench? Very interesting! thanks!

I have had mine for a month or so and love it. Is it weird that i like feeling the knurled handles??? I will say the second hole on the bottom does not fit a Rep PR5000 Rack which forces you to awkwardly stabilize this beast for a moment. It would be great if they did what Rep did with the Utility Seat to account for different hole spacing. And when taking it down from doing pullups the first time i almost knocked myself in the head. Great product though. Here is to innovation!! Thanks Coop!!

@Garage Gym Reviews you mention that gym owners could use the Velocidor with the included monster mini strip, but Rogue recommends that its Strip products only be used to store the Velocidor, not to perform dips on them. I assume this relates to suboptimal stability vs a rig, but would be interested in your opinion.

Which is a better option, a monster weight stack slinger or Reps selectorized lat pulldown and low row? I’m open to either one, but I was wondering if there was more versatility in the rep option.

I like the cheaper option rogue offers for dip attachment without the knurling. I prefer the black grippy powder coat tbh. I prefer knurling on barbells. Im still curious about the rogue and mutant metal dip attachment.

Is there a brand that makes a dipping handle similar to the 'Perfect Pushup' handle which allows your shoulder and scapular to rotate at you come down. Good for rotator cuff injuries??

Need a video of top accessories Coop’s discovered for Rogue Rhino

It’s great that Rogue ultimately reached out to Mutant Metals, but don’t let it distract you from the fact that it only did so AFTER the backlash from the community. Christopher from MM was very graceful and professional throughout the ordeal, but it was clear that Rogue initially planned on launching this piece with complete disregard for the UDA’s existence

Coop, sporting some Sitka! Standing invitation to come out to Idahosometime and put it to good use 😃

I just hate the attachment piece. I’ve been using some Mutant Metal handles on an Oak Club alpha arm which has worked so great I’m selling my dedicated Sorinex dip attachment.

I’ve been doing dips on rings for the past year and now I feel rock solid even with 40+ kilos added. Is there any point to getting a dip attachment at this point?

TOOK YOU A WHILE COOP!!

Never knew Coop was a hunter 👍

Review of the Pritchett pad next? Rogue has mostly left the home gym market empty while brands like REP, Irwin, and Oak Club are filling that niche.

I love rogue , I have lots of their products and if that dip bar was 15lb lighter it would be in my garage.

I strongly suspect the Monster channel that comes with the Velocidor is purely for storage purposes and not for actually doing dips on the wall. The channel is fairly short and those mounting holes on the channel are fairly small and close together. Even though 2x4 studs are strong and lag bolting this to the wall will be sturdy, it wouldn't be beefy enough to sustain frequent use.

Hey coop, do you think the velocidor could be mounted to a rep 5000 ares on the front upright with the pulley that feeds in to the trolley running through the velocidor? I’m trying to mount a velocidor permanently on each side for weighted pull up and dips. Ares looks to be the most compact option thats heavy other than the powerlift multi function pulley.

I bought the Monster Lite version, and the holes didn't line up with my RML-3. Rogue sent me another one, and I had the same problem. Now they are sending new UHMW thinking that will help the alignment. I don't know if anyone else is having this problem. I have the old RML-3, maybe it fits better on the new ones.

You didn't state the price, so I looked it up: $295. Honestly, I thought it would be at least twice that much. That thing looks solid.

I like the name, and laser cut logo. I wish they’d put the laser cut rhino in the 🦏

Colored knobs and ends would be nice

Come straight to the comments once I heard “it’s hard to get it in” 😂

The ability to roll it up and down the upright like jammer arms would be nice…could you do that?

Just Subbed.

Seriously though, free standing dip parallel bars are cheap and much more versatile

REVIEW THE ROGUE PRITCHETT PAD, PLEASE :)

Can you use the handles on lever arms.

HI COOP CAN YOU REAVIEW THE CAR JACK DEAD.LIFT ATTACHMENT from FORTISEQUIPMENT ?

Where can you find extra hitch pins?

Would like to see a compo to a monster light matador

why didn't Rogue think about put the angle adjustment pin on the frame and holes in the handles ? so the handles could be usable anywhere

Why not just call it the Matador elite? Also, it takes up just as much space to store as it does setup…

Can anyone explain why I wouldn’t be able to use this or the Matador on my SML-1 squat stand. Rogue does not recommend. Thanks in advance.

2:46 -2:49 Old Coop would have inserted a Michael Scott meme.

Rogue could have just put the locating pin protrusions on the base and accepting holes on the handles, and then you would be able to use the handles on anything 😮

Wonder if it fit my basic cheap rack

Wish you did a head to head with Mutant Metals.

Coop, please review Rep Apollo Half Rack. There are literally no real reviews on this rack. It looks great but I am waiting for a review to decide whether it is a good investment.

Will this work on a non-Rogue 3x3 power rack?

Can it fit on a rep rack?

I’ll never buy any of this shit, but I love watching these videos.

Body solid makes drop in handles for like $50 that works on Monster Lite since their new racks model rogue. Y style handles are too unsteady and you need rack to be bolted or weighted down.

Have y'all ever heard of the brand Stozm? Their Adjustable Kettlebell looks interesting, but I wonder about the quality.

Samson’s dip attachment is all 7-gauge, really heavy, and thus almost indestructible.

Rogue customer service doesn't recommend performing dips using the monster channel/mini strip. Have you tried to see if the included lags mounted on a stud are strong enough to support the dip bar and body weight?

Me waiting for Rogue to redesign their slingers and cable pulley systems Rogue: Have a high end dip bar

Would be a lot better if it attached like a j cup like mutant metals. Almost there tho .. stay tune for 3.0 rogue Monstador"

“Un-tighten”? Is that the same as “loosen”?

This looks gray with that power coat. That definitely a turn off that or won’t match my other rogue monster attachments

So it’s a dip attachment made for heavier set people?

Do you know if the 5/8ths version of this would be compatible with a rep 4000?

Why are these attachments and benches not made out of aluminum so their not 1,000 pounds to move around

Now they need some dip bars that do the dipping for u

Turnoff for me is the storage mode. It sticks out far too much especially when compared to Mutant Metals’. I can leave the handles in place and just flip mine up against the rack. When I’m ready to use it I just drop down and go.

Fudge should’ve waited 4 more months to buy this one. I got the matador for Christmas ugh

Can you turn the handles angled up and do dips facing the other direction? Like your back towards the rack? I feel like that would be the best for the lower pecs

He always says anything that rogue is the best 😂😂

If it was half the weight it would be perfect. I may buy it for pull-ups but man, seems like it will be annoying to latch onto my rack so high up by myself

Velocidor is not a copy. Looks great. It is time to do a dedicated video review of the Surplus Strength UPS. I just ordered the UPS bundle and can not wait to try it out. I had been waiting on Rogue to improve the Slinger, but go tired of waiting.

I feel like I was in the minority when this first came out and didn't really care if they "copied" mutant metals. Rogue seems to have knocked it out the park with this one and this will be the dip attachment I buy when I'm ready to upgrade!

Does anyone know if this will fit the REP PR5000?

Ive seen a guy who added a handle on each side of the rhino handles and got a dip feature built in and a handles for belt squat .. and rogue copied mutant metals for sure !

Looks nice now I just gotta get a RACK to use it on

Would this fit on rogues current dip bar hanger?

I bought one of these, and one of the handles will not even fit in the body because the dowel pin piece diameter is too large. I have notified Rogue and included pictures and caliper measurements, and they are giving me the run around. I spent $325 + shipping for them to send me a defective product and bust my balls when I contact customer service. It's the last time I'll deal with Rogue. Rep and other competitors are kicking their butt lately.

It is expensive, but not that much more than Rogue's regular Mantador. I think the weight of the unit is more annoying - I wonder what the base weighs without the handles installed? I assume that is how most people will end up moving it if the weight on the unit bugs them...
