Performance Benefits
Targeted Back Development: The Straight handle is optimized for wide-grip bent-over rows, while the Angled version allows for a more natural, neutral grip that emphasizes mid-back and lat recruitment.
Enhanced Balance: Unlike improvised V-handle setups, these handles lock onto the barbell sleeve to prevent shifting or sliding during heavy maximal effort sets.
Explosive Training: The secure connection makes these handles excellent for dynamic "combative" drills, push presses, and rotational pulls used in athletic conditioning.
Ergonomic Neutral Grip: The Angled handle configuration reduces wrist strain during overhead presses and heavy floor rows, allowing for a safer and more efficient bar path.
Maintenance and Care
Rubber Grip Care: Wipe down the rubber handles after use with a damp cloth to remove sweat and oils. Avoid using petroleum-based cleaners, which can cause the rubber to degrade or slip.
Sleeve Inspection: Periodically check the 2" interior collar for any debris or metal burrs to ensure the handle slides smoothly onto your barbell without scratching the finish.
Powder Coat Protection: To prevent oxidation, keep the steel frame dry and wipe away moisture. Any deep chips in the powder coat should be touched up with a rust-preventative paint.
Storage: Store on a dedicated hook or peg when not in use. Avoid leaving the handles on a barbell for extended periods to prevent moisture trap between the sleeve and the attachment.
Warranty Information
Limited Lifetime Warranty: Rogue Fitness warrants the structural steel and welds of the Landmine Handles against defects in material and workmanship for the lifetime of the original purchaser.
Rubber Grips: The rubber handle components are considered wear items and are covered under Rogue's standard accessory warranty policies (typically 90 days to 1 year).
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: Which handle should I choose for T-bar rows?
A: Both are excellent. The Angled handle provides a narrower, neutral grip that many users prefer for traditional T-bar rows, while the Straight handle allows for a wider, overhand grip to target the rear delts and upper lats.
-
Q: Do I need a collar to keep the handle on the bar?
A: While the handle fits snugly, it is always recommended to use a collar behind the handle (between the handle and the plates) or ensure the bar is angled such that gravity keeps the handle seated during the movement.
-
Q: Will these fit a specialty bar like an Axle?
A: These handles are designed for 2" (50MM) Olympic sleeves. They will fit any bar with standard-sized sleeves, including the Rogue Stubby Axle.
-
Q: Are the handles knurled?
A: No. These specific models feature rubberized grips for comfort. For a knurled option, consider the Rogue Parallel Landmine Handle.
