Product Description

Rogue’s DT Tempering Rollers were co-developed with powerlifting legend Donnie Thompson—creator of the Thompson Fatbell, the Fat Pad, and the Belt Squat Belt—among many other innovations. In his South Carolina gym, Thompson has helped introduce “body tempering” as a heavy-duty upgrade over traditional foam rollers, utilizing weighted cast-iron cylinders to break up trigger points and relieve tightness in the joints, muscles and fascia. Rogue has refined those original prototype cylinders into our 24" DT Tempering Rollers, available here in 50 LB, 80 LB, and 110 LB increments.

Rogue DT Tempering Roller
Increase Your Explosiveness

Rogue’s DT Tempering Rollers were co-developed with powerlifting legend Donnie Thompson—creator of the Thompson Fatbell, the Fat Pad, and the Belt Squat Belt—among many other innovations. In his South Carolina gym, Thompson has helped introduce “body tempering” as a heavy-duty upgrade over traditional foam rollers, utilizing weighted cast-iron cylinders to break up trigger points and relieve tightness in the joints, muscles and fascia. Rogue has refined those original prototype cylinders into our 24" DT Tempering Rollers, available here in 50 LB, 80 LB, and 110 LB increments.

Compared to other massaging rollers, the substantial weight of the DT Tempering Rollers can create a much more intense form of soft tissue mobilization, without causing any additional pain or discomfort in the process. All of our rollers are made from powder-coated cast iron, and feature recessed ends that act as the handles, enabling easier handling and control. Color-coded bands are included in the center of each roller (indicating the weight) and at both ends (featuring Rogue branding) for easy identification from a distance: Green = 50 LB, Gray = 80 LB, and Yellow = 110 LB.

Disclaimer: Performing Body Tempering does not give license for one to call it ‘Chiropractic,’ ‘Physical Therapy,’ or ‘Adjustments’ or ‘Manipulation.’ However, when utilized by a licensed coach, trainer or practitioner it can be a strength preparation or rehabilitation tool. Body Tempering is currently being used by licensed athletic trainers, massage therapists, occupational therapists, physicians, chiropractors and physical therapists in treatment of their patients. Outside of licensed clinics, it is not to be used in diagnosis, treating injuries, and/or body manipulation. Otherwise, it is a highly anaerobic method of strength training and preparation only! Any use of this equipment is at the sole risk of user.

Developed with Donnie Thompson

Developed with Donnie ThompsonFor Donnie Thompson, decades of experience as both a champion powerlifter and world renowned trainer have helped him become one of his sport’s great innovators, as well. In his own South Carolina gym, the creator of the Thompson Fatbell has already replaced foam rollers entirely with the weighted cast iron alternative, noting the added intensity in treatment without any added pain. His body tempering methodology has caught on with trainers around the world, and now has a new formal tool design in the form of the Rogue DT Tempering Roller.

Intense, Effective Mobility Treatment
2

Intense, Effective Mobility Treatment

Despite their heavier weight, the size and shape of the DT Tempering Rollers help distribute pressure in such a way that the athlete gets the benefits of an intense massaging treatment without any additional pain or discomfort from the tool itself. Slowly rolled over a muscle/joint/area for 1 to 2 minutes, the weighted cylinder can help facilitate soft tissue mobilization and temporarily relieve nagging knots or tightness, enabling the user to train longer and more effectively in the weight room.

Three Sizes

Three Sizes

We currently offer the DT Tempering Roller in three size options, giving users the ability to switch weights depending on the area of the body being treated:

100LB: 24" long x 5.5” diameter, Yellow color bands

Excellent Tempering Tool
My husband and I both use this tempering roller and are impressed by the thoughtful design. The spiraled grooves and negative space to allow room for the spine set this roller apart from other tempering tools. 50lbs is the perfect weight for both rolling out the back and legs with ease. Highly recommend this tool as provides relief from soreness and allows you to enter your next workout feeling stronger.

Helped cure Achilles tendinitis
I had bad Achilles tendinitis, so I thought. Rolling, stretching, theragun, hyperdrive ball only help a little but it got so bad I could barely walk. I’m very active 32 years old and this sucked. I saw the roller and the physiological process made sense so I gave it a shot. Literally felt like knives the first time with the 80 on my calves, but immediately I could walk and felt 80%. After using it for a few more days 3-5 min on my calves I was 100% and it started to not hurt when I rolled I Them. Recommend this for every muscle pain and recovery!

Surprised
I was ultimately surprised by this product but pleasantly happy. I bought the 50lb roller. It feels very good in use and helps roll out adhesions, knots etc. Your hamstrings will hate you but thank you. it is built like a tank yet easy to use. I also use it as hand placement while using an ab roller to work the core. Great product.

GREAT TOOL FOR PREHAB
I bought this bad boy and in less than a month its paid itself. I have more and more athletes booking BT sessions after privates. Cant wait to purchase the other available sizes. Mt athletes are telling me after being rolled out they are feeling fresher and less or no of DOMS before our next session.

Absolutely LOVE this TOOL!!
We use ours for everything. Feeling sick -- roll it out --- tight muscles -- roll it out -- spine feeling out of line -- roll it out this tool has saved us so much money in massage bills - I heard a rumor that the 140 lb was coming out earlier this year and I can not wait to add it to my set!

Love this product
I'll preface by saying I'm a huge SuperD fan - Donnie's been super helpful in sharing his protocols, publicly, for mobility, and approach to lifting. I have the boomstick but was looking for something a bit heavier, to round out my tempering collection, to target legs and hamstrings. This does the job. It's super easy to use and grip and not too heavy for a partner/spouse. You will need someone's help to target glutes and hammies. Service was fast and easy - and very well packed. No blemishes or scratches at all. All set.
