Rorman Strength Megalith Handles Unboxing and Review

These are the Rorman Strength Megalith handles. They are assembled and partially made here in the USA by Rorman Strength. I believe the handles (zinc coated in this video) and moving parts are from overseas and the pivot arm is made here in the USA and powdered coated in Tennessee. If that isn't correct let me know. At the time of purchase these ran me $274.99 shipped to me. They are now going to be $289.99 and be fully stainless steel handles. I am not affiliated with Rorman Strength in any way and everything said in the video is my opinion.
For me these are a must have for using trolley arms as well as side lateral raise setups. These handles feel great in handle, and you can catch me posting other hacks and lifts I did with these handles in my videos and shorts. These handles do fall short in the price of them is steep, and the slight rust issues I showed in the video. If I had to pick between these and the articulating handles rogue sells I would get these as they are more versatile and cheaper. I will be looking to get the bigger handle when they release so stay tuned and like/subscribe!
Again if you have any questions leave them down below. Thank you!

thank you for watching sire 🫡

[@temptedadverse]

Very nice thank you for the review! May i ask what the rack behind you at 7:13 in the video holding your bars.

[@andie_pl]

That is the Rogue RM-6 monster rack mine just has a bunch of stuff attached to it

[@TheGhu123]

the handles are 7 inches but how far from the level arm does the handle reach? I am trying to figure out if this is too short. thanks

[@andie_pl]

It is right about 12” from the lever arm. This is with all the washers and hardware installed without any changed

[@TheGhu123]

@@andie_pl Did the handle continue to rust or you were able to remove the rust? How do you like to it far? Any downside?
thanks

[@andie_pl]

@@TheGhu123 the rust was more surface level and because it was in the thread of the handle you can’t really brush it off. I sprayed some wd-40 in it and called it a day lol. there hasnt been anymore rust issues but if you train in a humid area its going to rust even more. I like the handles a lot in terms of feel and think it’s worth the upgrade if you have lever arms to use them with. If you don’t mind waiting rorman has stainless handles now as well as making a thicker handle down the line.

[@TheGhu123]

@@andie_pl I see that you have his stainless nut. How's the quality? I have Rogue knurl nut and want to know if it's worth getting the stainless. thanks

[@andie_pl]

@@TheGhu123 It’s pretty solid, the knurl is more passive than the handles but I like that you can basically have 2 knurled nuts next to each other. The rogue ones have an edge in my book because they have the built in washer. If you do metal on metal contact it’s going to scratch whatever you have. I already have scratch marks from the stainless nut on my racks.

[@nickc3365]

What's the weight limit for each handle?

[@andie_pl]

Not sure what the weight limit is! In one of my shorts I did a megalith handle deadlift max out and it held up pretty well around 6 plates each trolley arm. I would say these are definitely made more for rep work rather than maxing

[@nickc3365]

@@andie_pl perfect thanks. I mostly use them for upper body work anyways so that usually caps out at 3-4 plates per side. Have you tried rogues rotating handles? I have those but don't find them smooth and they extend the arm length which is not ideal for me as I use the short arms inside my rack.

[@andie_pl]

@@nickc3365 yes the articulating handles from rogue aren’t as versatile, I just have mine setup forever as pull-up bar handles. The megalith handles should be able to handle the 3-4 plates each side but it might have a hard time spinning depending on the movement. When I was doing the megalith handle maxout on trolley arm deadlifts they were definitely stressed

[@thejohnhend]

Why so many washers?

[@andie_pl]

Need them for that spin action

[@ScottSandersW]

I noticed in another video that you had the rogue articulating handles. How do these compare? Any upsides or downsides compared to the rogue articulating handles?

[@andie_pl]

@@ScottSandersW The articulating handles from rogue aren’t as versatile. They are more suited for static pressing/pulling movements or setting up as dip/pull-up handles. Even when I had the standard trolley handles and the articulating handles I used the standard handles more. I don’t like that the diameter of the rogue handles is pretty small overall. Unless you are getting the rogue handles on a steal I’d probably pass and get the megalith handles
