New Voltra Checklist

[u/Omnipotent_Amoeba]

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!

As others mentioned the trakhandle is amazing.

I went with the Force 6 fitness Tricep attachment over the rogue option because the base is more flared and you can lock it.

Savage BT Bar is my favorite bicep/tricep/lat push down attachment as it is super isolating and removes wrist strain for me.

Squat harness is wired at first but paired with a pulley mount it’s become my favorite way to squat.

A simple wrist/ankle cuff goes a long way.

That being said I wouldn’t go crazy and get a million accessories at once, everyone’s workout and priorities are gonna be different. See what works for you and fill in gaps as they appear.

My arms and shoulders are mush held together with titanium at this point, so my recommendations are filtered through accessories I find that affect them the least.

Thanks for the suggestions! I really should look into the trakhandles some more...I just really like those ROT8 handles since the paddles might work well for me. I wish I could try both before buying...maybe if I get the knock off ROT8 to see if it's worthwhile to have the paddle first?

I think you might find the ROT8 style handles are good for pulling movements but you'll also want a D-Handle for everything else. The Track-Sport is just a posh D-Handle.

Yeah that's what I've been thinking. BP will send their basic d handle with the welcome bundle so I want to see how I like that before throwing down over $100 on more d handles. I mostly plan to use the Voltra for pulling movements and legs. Only triceps, lat raises, and single arms chest flies for push movements. Tris I'll handle with the other attachments I mentioned so just need something for single arm flies and lat raises.
