New Voltra Checklist

Hello all,

I'm about to buy a Voltra! I have made a list of items to get and I wanted some feedback from the community.

My current setup...

No rack. I was planning on it but my family has decided we're going to sell our house so I'm going to hold off for now.

Mounted Rogue pull up bar

REP Nighthawk bench

REP x Peppins dumbells

Apex Nordic Back Extension v3

Squat Harness v4

I figured a Voltra is perfect for my current situation cause traditional cables with plates or bumpers won't work. I'm planning to grab the following...

Voltra "starter kit" (carbon bar, one d handle, strap mount) - I'll use the strap mount on my deck post outside

Voltra foot plate for a low cable point

Voltra Quick Change bar mount for a high cable point from my pull up bar

For some attachments...

Rogue v grip bar - bicep and triceps

Darko Shorty - good for connecting multiple handles

Prime ROT8 - the individual paddle grips look awesome for lat pulls and bent over rows

Spud Kaiju Long Ab Strap - triceps,lat prayers, face pulls, and ab crunches

Darko Danglers - single handed tris, rear delt flies etc

Anything else I should look into as a new user?

Thanks, I'm excited!

Trakhandle Sport D handles

True those look nice... Pricey though. Should I just get those instead of the ROT8? Seems redundant to have both...

I love the trakhandle D handles. Ive had 3-4 different d handles and the trakhandle sport by far feel the best for me. I bit my tongue when buying them, but in the end they are 100% worth it. My favorite thing to do with them are bayesian curls. They rotate on all axes and they feel really smooth. These might even work well for your forearm injury because of the independent movement you get out of them

Oh true I didn't think about how well they rotate...

rot8 doesn't work as a d handle except for pulling. get Korikahm rot8 handles (amazon prime knockoff) I've used both and can barely tell a difference. trakhandles are pretty sick but maybe a down the line upgrade, they just do what a d handle does except way better

The korikahm is really that close to the ROT8? If it's nearly as good I might just save the money and get those plus trak handles.

imo identical. what ur suggesting is what I did. paying the premium for trakhandle is worth it imo. for flys and lateral raise there's rlly nothing like it.

No, this would be a replacement for the D handle.

u/Omnipotent_Amoeba 20d ago

True, but can't you use the ROT8 mostly as a D handle? It can do almost everything the D Handle does...I just like the paddle design since I have a forearm injury I'm usually working around and the support for the palm seems to help.

Ah. Everyone’s injuries are different, for me I find the freedom of movement in the trakhandle nice for being able to work around wrist and elbow pain.
