Any home gym/garage gym enthusiasts have extremely weak wrists, any suggestions for D-handles.
I own U**-clips D-handles** they spin around nicely not bad but a little heavy, I also have Beyond Powers d-handles I use those quite a bit.
I haven’t tried any from the list below but heard the following are top contenders;
1-dialed motion’s or BOS d-handles with bearings
2-Trak handles
3-Eric Janicki’s Torq handles
4-Darko D-Nade open handles
I’m looking for d-handles that are easy on wrists, anyone else out there with decent strength but extremely weak wrists?

I’ve been looking into buying some Voltra accessories and mounts from brands like Darko Lifting and Force USA, as well as the RX3 Lat Pull & Low Row Pad.

The problem is that most of these products seem to be US-only. They either don’t ship to Europe at all, or the shipping costs, import taxes, and customs fees make them ridiculously expensive.

So, to my fellow Europeans here: where do you buy your Voltra accessories, mounts, and other gym equipment? Are there any EU-based shops or manufacturers offering similar products?

It’s already frustrating that we pay more for the Voltra itself, but it feels like we’re also missing out on some of the best accessories and mounting options available in the US.

Would love to hear where you guys shop or if you’ve found any good alternatives.

Thanks!

Is there something about it that makes it expensive to manufacture?

Edit that's a 6-pack

I was thinking how nice it would be if BP and offered more accessories that worked well with the Voltra or Voltra’s. Similar to Mutant Metals or Rorman Strength products available on Rogue’s website or Porter PhysEd fitness partnering up with Fringe sport. Maybe offer a credit card, or payment setup like shop. To me the biggest pain in the a_ _ is when than the payment gets processed in seconds then you have a question or concern and no return email or call very frustrating to not know the status of your order. and now you’re wondering if the company is reputable.
At least with BP you know that you are spending your money with a well established company with proven customer service that will stand behind their product.

I had been going back and forth on purchasing a voltra to help with rehabbing an injury and was about to pull the trigger. However, just saw that there’s finally progress by Freak Athlete on their digital resistance (Atom) platform over on the homegym subreddit with a plan for pre-orders by the end of this year. The price point is about half of a single voltra and it sounds like there will be a similar mounting ecosystem. I know the voltra has an established track record, but am struggling with the price-point for purchasing two units+accessories which I’d want for pressing exercises, attaching to my barbell, belt squats, etc. Appreciating there will always be something new around the corner, wondering what others thoughts are if two Voltras are worth the cost or if I should wait a bit to see how the Atom plays out.

I'm planning a garage gym with an 8 ft ceiling, and I really like the RxD Viper Cable Tower: wall-mounted, only 13" off the wall, two Tornado pivot arms, 200 lb stack, 2:1 with one handle and 1:1 with both. The catch is I'd rather drive it with one Voltra than a stack.

Looking for creative ideas:
- Has anyone convinced RxD (or anyone) to sell one without the stack?
- Pulling the stack and anchoring the Voltra to the carriage or selector rod, or mounting it under the tower and rerouting the cable?
- How are you handling 2:1? One arm would top out around 100 lb. A pulley on the top plate? A 2:1 doubler mount?
- Any existing builds on a Viper, Athena, Slim Gym, Titan, etc.? Photos please!

A slim wall tower with pivoting arms and digital resistance (eccentrics, chains mode, no plates) would be a great garage setup. Would love to see RxD and Beyond Power team up on something like this.
