PRIME’s RO-T8 pair combines palm-shaped supports with swivelling cable connections. The handles work independently on cable exercises or with the separately sold RO-T8 Short Bar.
The shaped palm contact and rotating attachment are the features to buy. Their feel differs from a round D-handle, so personal grip preference matters more than adding another accessory.
The drawbackThe Short Bar is separate. A combined setup needs compatible attachment points and enough pulley height for the handles, bar and intended range of motion.
The RO-T8 Short Bar connects two compatible handles to one cable, with attachment spacing from 9 to 18 inches in one-inch steps. This purchase supplies the bar alone.
Rogue’s USA Aluminum collars use hinged nylon levers and internal rubber linings to clamp Olympic bar sleeves. The supplied pair weighs half a pound, with each collar occupying 1.5 inches of sleeve.
