Overview
Rogue Fitness offers an extensive ecosystem of professional-grade cable attachments designed for functional trainers, lat pulldowns, and low row stations. Moving beyond standard "chrome-plated" gym accessories, Rogue’s lineup utilizes materials like Stainless Steel, Chromoly, and Anodized Aluminum to provide superior grip, longevity, and biomechanical comfort. These tools allow athletes to precisely target the back, arms, and lower body through highly specific handle angles and knurling patterns.

Featured Pulling & Lat Attachments
Lat Pulldown Bars: Available in 20" and 40" lengths. The stainless versions use the same 28.5MM steel as the Ohio Bar, offering authentic knurling and a laser-cut swivel tab.
ARC Cable Attachment: Co-developed with Mutant Metals, this modular system allows for interchangeable handle lengths (5" to 18") and varied angles, ideal for high-precision back training.
CG-1 Series (Close Grip): A US-made collection available in lightweight aluminum or heavy-duty steel. Key models include the CG-1C Multi Grip Camber (wide/close grip options) and the CG-1X X-Grip (neutral, supinated, and pronated orientations).
LM-1P Parallel Handle: A dual-purpose tool compatible with both cable machines and landmine setups, featuring a stainless steel clevis and acetal sleeve to protect barbell finish.
Featured Arm & Isolation Attachments
Curl Bar Cable Attachment: Replicates the ergonomics of the Rogue Curl Bar for cable curls and tricep pressdowns, featuring 28.5MM steel and an integrated bushing for smooth rotation.
Rotating V-Grip: Features 32MM anodized aluminum handles and a 360-degree swivel with bronze bushings to reduce wrist strain during heavy pushdowns and rows.
TR-2D Tricep Dual Cable: A unique alternative to tricep ropes; it features two independent knurled grips on a pulley system, allowing for up to 20 inches of handle travel for maximum contraction.
Mutant Metals V-Grip: A 70-degree V-shaped frame with a threaded hub that accepts different handle lengths and materials to customize the width of tricep pushdowns.
Speciality & Soft Goods
Single Handle Cable Attachment: A strap-based design using Cerakote-finished knurled steel handles. The strap design keeps metal from digging into the arms during crossovers and flys.
Tricep Straps: Available in Nylon (padded handles, D-ring) or Leather (crafted by Pioneer Fitness using durable sole leather with neoprene lining).
Ankle Cuffs: Designed with IFBB Pro Tim Martin for kickbacks and lower body isolation; adjustable from 9" to 14" with comfortable foam construction.
Grip Triangle: Available in standard sizes or as the Monster Grip Triangle with 1.9" diameter handles for extreme forearm and grip development.
Maintenance and Care
Knurling Maintenance: Use a nylon brush and mild soap to remove dead skin and chalk from knurled handles. This ensures the grip remains effective without damaging the finish.
Swivel & Bushings: Rogue cable attachments often feature integrated bushings. Periodically check that the swivel tabs move freely. If they become sluggish, a drop of lightweight machine oil can restore performance.
Strap & Leather Care: For nylon straps, check for fraying near the D-rings. For leather straps, occasionally apply a leather conditioner to prevent drying and cracking.
Aluminum Care: Anodized handles (like those on the H-5) are resistant to sweat but should be wiped dry after use to maintain the vibrant finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use these on non-Rogue cable machines? A: Yes. All Rogue cable attachments use standard connection points that are compatible with any cable machine featuring a standard carabiner.
Q: Why choose Aluminum over Steel? A: Aluminum handles are significantly lighter, making them easier to handle and transport in a gym bag. Steel is preferred by "old-school" lifters who want the added weight and the traditional feel of raw metal.
Q: Are the handles on the ARC attachment interchangeable with the V-Grip? A: Yes. Mutant Metals handles use a standardized threaded system, allowing you to swap handles across the ARC and V-Grip frames.
Q: What is the benefit of the E-Coat finish on the Lat Bars? A: E-Coat provides excellent corrosion resistance and a "tacky" grip feel that works well with or without chalk.
