Overview
The Rogue Monster Pritchett Pad is a specialized, rack-mounted attachment designed to facilitate chest-supported rows without the massive footprint of a standalone machine. Co-developed with legendary strongman Jerry Pritchett, this pad allows athletes to perform heavy landmine rows, dumbbell rows, and barbell rows while eliminating lower back strain and stabilizing the torso. Manufactured in the USA, it provides a professional-grade, space-efficient solution for any Monster Series rack owner.

Performance Benefits
Spinal Health: By supporting the chest during rowing movements, the Pritchett Pad alleviates pressure on the lumbar spine and vertebrae, making it an essential tool for athletes with back concerns or those performing high-volume training.
Isolation and Stability: Eliminates the "cheat" motion often seen in bent-over rows, forcing the lats and upper back to perform the work in a stable, fixed position.
Versatile Movement Patterns: Beyond landmine rows, the pad is highly effective for:
Spider Curls (bicep isolation).
Lateral Raises.
Single-arm dumbbell rows.
Ergonomic Taper: The tapered pad design ensures that the user's shoulders and arms can move naturally without obstruction from the pad edges.
Maintenance and Care
Pad Cleaning: Wipe the polyurethane foam pad with a mild soap and water solution after each use. Avoid harsh industrial cleaners that could dry out the foam or degrade the self-skinning surface.
Clasp Inspection: Regularly check the 1” mounting pin and the clasp channel for any debris. Ensure the UHMW plastic liners are intact to maintain the protective barrier between the attachment and the rack.
Installation Safety: Use the built-in machined UHMW handle for a secure grip during setup. CRITICAL: Only install the Pritchett Pad on a rack or rig that is securely bolted to the floor to prevent tipping under load.
Finish Care: Clean the powder-coated steel arm with a damp microfiber cloth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this fit my Monster Lite rack? A: No, this model is specifically for the Monster Series (1” holes). Rogue offers a separate "Monster Lite Pritchett Pad" (5/8” holes) for the Monster Lite, Infinity, and Echo series.
Q: Do I need a specific landmine to use with this? A: While it works exceptionally well with the Rogue Monster Landmine 2.0, it can also be used with a floor-based post landmine or even for standard dumbbell movements.
Q: Is the pad centered for a barbell? A: Yes, the arm is purposefully offset so that when a barbell is used in a rack-mounted landmine, the center of the bar aligns perfectly with the center of the pad.
