Dinnie Ring Set

Name: Dinnie Ring Set
Brand: Rogue Fitness
Rating: 4.93 (10 reviews)

The Rogue Dinnie Ring Set is a pair of hand-forged strongman training handles modeled on the rings used in the Rogue Replica Dinnie Stones, the apparatus behind Scotland’s famous Dinnie Stone lift and Rogue’s Record Breakers events. Each ring is individually hand-forged from American steel by blacksmiths at Lockhart Ironworks in Logan, Ohio, and the set is sold as a pair — one large, one small — with intentionally non-uniform sizing to mimic the original stones’ uneven grip challenge. Beyond simulating the Dinnie Stone hold, the rings work as a general grip-training attachment on a cable machine or loading pins, giving strongman and grip athletes a way to train hook-grip strength and ring-lifting variations at home.

What is a Strongman?

Strongman equipment trains raw, functional strength through odd-object lifting, carrying, and loading — atlas stones, yokes, farmer’s handles, sleds, logs, and tires — rather than the fixed, balanced resistance of a barbell. It’s a fit for lifters who’ve plateaued on conventional strength training and want to build the grip, bracing, and full-body coordination that competition strongman and functional fitness demand, or who simply want the most direct training carryover to real-world lifting and carrying tasks. Most pieces are bulky and some (tires, natural stones) are sourced or repurposed rather than bought outright, so plan for storage space and, in a few cases, DIY sourcing as part of owning this equipment.

Rogue’s Dinnie Ring Set is a hand-forged pair of strongman training handles modeled on the rings used in the Rogue Replica Dinnie Stones, the apparatus behind the famous Scottish stone-lift competitions and Rogue Record Breakers events. Functionality is the standout: strongman athletes training for the actual Dinnie Stone hold, including a Rogue world-record holder, use these same “replica handles” to rehearse the lift’s brutal, uneven grip demands, and reviewers confirm the rings double as a grip-training attachment on cables and pin racks. Build quality is solid — American steel hand-forged by blacksmiths in Ohio — though that same hand-forged process is also the source of the weakest dimension: Rogue’s own buyers report dimensional inconsistency (ring diameter and sizing that don’t precisely match the source stones) and inconsistent finish/cleanliness on arrival, and there’s no independent editorial review to corroborate long-term durability.

+Functionality: purpose-built to replicate the uneven, non-uniform grip challenge of the actual Dinnie Stones, used by strongman athletes (including a Rogue world-record holder) to train the stone-lift technique (YouTube: Big Loz Official, YouTube: Chloe Brennan)
+Versatility: doubles as a general grip-training attachment, used on a cable machine or pin rack in addition to stone-lift simulation (manufacturer site customer review)
+Build quality: hand-forged from 5/8" American steel by blacksmiths at Lockhart Ironworks in Logan, Ohio, made in the USA (manufacturer spec sheet)
+Durability: buyers describe the set as "high quality durable" and suited to repeated contest-prep grip training (manufacturer site customer review)
+Value: sold as a pair (one large, one small ring) for $60 with free shipping, an accessible price for a specialized niche tool (manufacturer spec sheet)

−Functionality: at least one buyer reports the ring dimensions aren't a precise match to the real Dinnie Stones (light side off by 1.5", heavy side 3.5" higher), limiting fidelity for athletes training to exact competition specs (manufacturer site customer review)
−Build quality: the 5/8" steel diameter reportedly feels too narrow once single-hand loads climb past 400 lbs, and the hand-forged rings arrive raw/unfinished, which is rough on hands and calluses (manufacturer site customer review)
−Build quality: at least one set arrived "disgustingly dirty and greasy," a quality-control complaint inherent to the small-batch hand-forged process (manufacturer site customer review)
−Durability: no independent editorial review exists for this SKU specifically — both video sources cover Dinnie Stone competition training generally rather than assessing this product's long-term wear (across available sources)
−Value: Rogue's own retailer rating (3.4/5, 9 reviews) is notably lower than GymRadar's aggregate (4.93/5, 10 reviews), a split worth weighing before buying (manufacturer site vs. GymRadar)
