After some helpful input on my last post I ordered Rogue Rhino! What are everyone’s favorite mod’s & recommendations for it?

So far I’m planning on getting a horse stall mat for the platform, these clips to get in and out of the belt easier and maybe some handles to make split squats easier

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

So I was pretty set on the Rogue Rhino as my belt squat pick, but went down a rabbit hole and learned that Powertec released one over a year ago that quietly got pulled, based on comments on the original post, it was a cease & desist from Rogue

Reached out to Powertec directly and they’re targeting a re-launch sometime this summer but their customer service seems kinda iffy so idk if that’s concrete

Only reason I’m kind of keen on getting one so soon is bc I’m dealing with some lower back issues right now and don’t want to pause training, so a belt squat is kind of a priority for me at the moment but if it’s worth the hype I’d wait

A few things caught my eye about the Powertec (beyond it’ll probably be cheaper) is that it looks ever so slightly more compact, the locking mechanism seems better, and it has a bigger platform and safety stopper

For my use case, none of the extra versatility that the rogue ecosystem matters, I’ll just be doing belt squats, RDLs, split squats, lunges, etc

So the question is whether it’s worth holding out a few months or just pulling the trigger on the Rhino now. I already have other Rogue equipment and genuinely like their stuff, and the rhino seems to be the gold standard, just want to make sure I’m not sleeping on the Powertec if it’s the better fit, any insight would be greatly appreciated!
