@@AirtiAbailar can’t say 100% but looking at the pictures/design of the QuickDraws, it looks like the U Clip should fit.

@@DoritosResidue completely agree, feels so much more balanced with it on.

@@TheXILLR I’ll have to look into it but I don’t think it will work on the Single stack due to their design with how far the cable comes out. The single stack one tucks behind the cable so it doesn’t kink it.

@@GoreckiFit Man best of luck. I hope you buy it and test it out and record a video about it and if it doesn’t work you return it. Because everyone is raving about how good it is and in my opinion your the number one prime single stack reviewer

@@rayjbb1494 thanks, I have some crossover symmetry bands, elite FTS and rogue bands, along with some Therabands but I have bad shoulders and when I travel, that’s mainly my concerns. I’d just look for bands with good reviews, they usually don’t have the best useful life since bands tend to break over time which is helpful if there is a sleeve on them to prevent the band from injuring yourself if it breaks and smacks you in the face. Get a door anchor too, rogue makes a really good one but can be overkill. Suspension trainers are helpful for traveling too.

@@Paul-ob6ob yeah those Watson stainless steel are very nice, but as you mentioned, very very expensive for a home gym. Even Iron Grip I looked into and I think it was another $3k at the time for my set.

@@robjames1037 yeah that could work or even a UClip. Lots of possibilities out there now.

@@palakahun3366 I’m 5’11”

I'm 182 cm, I can't stretch my arms to the full extent.

@@palakahun3366 I’m guessing your arm span is longer than mine. Only other way is to sit on the floor but that’s not comfortable but I’ve done it in the past. No longer have this unit, upgraded to a selectorized unit.

@@tekniquez12 glad you enjoyed the video and happy to help!!

@@TheCarterHomeGym at one point you were gonna get the Ares, but I think the Rhino setup worked out great instead.

@@GoreckiFit Yeah i agree. A Rhino stack would be awesome but probably way too much weight needed.

@@TheCarterHomeGym yeah you’d need one hell of a tall stack to make it worth while and that would mean the tower would no longer be lower profile.

@@LukesGarageGym yeah BareSteel Equipment has a few options for these pins.

@@adrianch3539 These are very safe while using them, as long as the screw is tightened. If you add all the weight plates on to one screw which is 3.700 inches, you have just about a half inch that engages fully in the handle. This means that 4 of those threads are completely engaged and due to design, this is plenty secure when going up to 75lbs. As for the next question, the longer screws can only be used when you have more than 75lbs because the two ends will hit each other and not allow them to screw into handle. Hope this helps.

@@bigjoesan that’s the one!! JD Gym Equipped makes some awesome pieces but very pricey.

@@GoreckiFit Thank you for your prompt reply 👍. Yes, they make amazing stuff. would you say that the knurling on the wrist roller and on the supination/pronation handle is aggressive enough or too passive?

@@bigjoesan oh it’s definitely aggressive enough, nothing passive on that piece at all. Very well done, I goofed up once and let the handle slip on me and it took some skin off like butter 😂

@@GoreckiFit Awesome then!🫡👍 that's exactly what i wanted to hear, thank you buddy, very nice of you.

@@bigjoesan always happy to help!!

@@tammim3426 I’m glad I didn’t mess up my shoulder too!!

@@bobbyhunt3009 it’s called U clips and price is 20% off now at $39.99. It’s a decent piece, but I mainly bought it for using my dumbbells for my wrist roller exercises.

@@GoreckiFit Price is $40 with 20% off, I knew they would be $50 or more and that is price gouging but all small companies do it,, every single one because they make such a small number of units. Guy makes 1,000 units because he doesn't know if any of them are gonna sell so he can't make 100K units and they not sell, he'd be bankrupt. Cost to make each unit is around $17-$20 with 1K units ordered. If ordering more units to be made, cost obviously goes down. $50 for one single unit is around 125%. Anything over 100% of profit on one unit is a term we use called price gouging. He starts the price so high though so if it starts selling a lot,, he will be a millionaire and it gives him wiggle room to always put it on sale and still make a profit of 100%. At $50 for one unit, it is always applied whether it's on sale or not. I'm not one of those that buys every product that comes out just to say I own it, thankfully my ego has not ever risen that high but most home gym owners are like this and people are coming up with anything to sale because they know these type of people will buy a rock tied to a stick if you say it's for a home gym. Those same people will then justify buying that rock tied to a stick until the cows come home. People are trying to think up any ty hing to sale and thats fine ad ling as they dont price gouge but they all do and home gym owners justify thr price saying that's just the economy know, no that's price gouging.

@@bobbyhunt3009 so I actually met this guy at HGC and he seemed like he genuinely wanted to help people. So the first thing I’ll say is sometimes you come across as insulting. You basically said I’m a guy that just buys all home gym equipment almost like a collector and that’s not true. I stated in my review why I bought this and I didn’t buy it to be a collector. You really need to stop saying that because sometimes people will accept something for free in exchange for a review and there are plenty out there, but some actually see a reason to buy something. Trust me Bobby, there is plenty of shit out there that I could buy if I wanted to be a collector and grow the channel. I buy only stuff I see a use for that looks like it’s good quality and will fill a spot in my training. As for the price, this is also patented and that’s like minimum of $10,000 plus fees if someone wants to try and fight him on it. Check out his website and see why he made the product, it was because he saw a need for it in his own training while resources were hard to come by for training. He’s also revised the design for quite a large amount of versions and has kept making revisions to make his product the best it can be. All these things take money and if you’re spending all the time running a business, you have to make a profit to live. I’m also an accountant and you probably don’t understand cost accounting. If it takes $17-20 of material to make it, you also have to be the manufacturer a profit otherwise they won’t do the job at cost. You have to figure out how to distribute it and that requires a lot of time, effort and money. It’s not just paying for shipping but it’s also packing and assembly as well. I’d guess his margins are much lower and I very much doubt this guy is a millionaire just because he made this one product. Plus you also have to consider advertising to get his product seen and the expense to operate the website and have someone manage his social media and take care of customer service. I’ve spoke with a few people about running a business and there is a lot of hidden expenses that the consumer never even considers.

@@GoreckiFit Man,, you took my comment way the wrong way. By no means was I talking about you. You were one of the very few I Respected and in no way did you ever even cross my mind when I was writing that comment. I won't mention who I was talking about because I find no pleasure in hurting anyone's feelings but I promise you were not one of them. Wow, never saw that coming and that is why social media is good for no one as most texts are taken out of context, like here. It's the main reason I won't be a Patreon to anyone because they can turn on you due to one comment taken out of context, like here. Man,, I was one of your most loyal subs and you should've at least let me explain myself before you blasted me that hard. I made a point about price gouging and it is the truth. Did I say a thing that was not true? I was not trying to hurt your friend's (the inventor) feelings, I was just explaining about the whole industry. You take care

@@bobbyhunt3009 I didn’t blast you, now you’re taking my comment the wrong way. I was just saying there are a ton factors that go into making a product. Until you invent a product and go into business, it’s all speculation. Price gouging really isn’t what this guy is doing, there are a lot of factors that go into making a product that consumers don’t think about. And if you reread your comment, you said people buy stuff just for the sake of buying and your glad your not one with that kind of ego. If I took the comment the wrong way I apologize, but sometimes it’s just ok to say, man that product isn’t for me and move on. I don’t think you need to be negative in the comment section, if it’s not for you just move on man. There is no reason to waste the energy in the comment section to write something if you don’t like it or how the industry is. Trust me, my feeling weren’t hurt and I mean no ill will against you. I just said there is plenty of shit that I could buy that would help the channel grow, be cheap enough and make a bunch of useless content. I’ll leave you with this one, we’re not all in the same situations, some people only can accept free equipment in hopes that they can review it and built up their social media a bit to only get back a small portion of the amount of time it takes to make a review. This review took me 10 hours and I’ve never received a single piece for free and affiliate payments are less than $150 the entire time I’ve done this. For some that’s a problem and they can’t afford to waste that time without getting something in return, so that’s why many people take free stuff. It’s then up to them to be honest in their review. I watch many reviews before I buy something and then makeup my mind whether something is worth purchasing. It’s up to the consumer to filter through the information and make an educated decision when buying gym equipment.

@TheCarterHomeGym yeah it’s not a bad little attachment.

@@Eccles_basement_gym yeah you probably could come up with some cool hacks!

Yep, I met him at HGC.

Yeah man, it really has!! It's a decent little attachment.

@@bobbyhunt3009 this is one of the reasons why I do videos…So others can learn from my mistakes and make the decision on whether or not they want to spend their money.

@@GoreckiFit That is why I like you as you tell the truth. I am so tired of watching reviews which are nothing more than a commercial for the product and the company who made the product. The reviewer is only taping a commercial because they were sent the product for free. I understand the game it has become but I don't like it or agree with it. We viewers and buyers need honest true reviews on which barbell, plates, attachments, etc. are good, which are decent, and which are bad. We dont need to see commercials for REP, Fringesport, Rogue, etc. just because a reviewer recieved a free piece of equipment. Outside of 3 or 4 reviewers that is what we get. So frustrating!!!

@@Chris_from_Detroit good to be back!! Yeah I prefer a bit more knurl especially for an attachment like this. Not sure about the acetal ball, someone commented on their review page and Steve said the ball was not designed to grab on to, just to be used as a stopper so your hand doesn’t fall off.

@@tammim3426 yeah it just doesn’t function the best for what it’s designed to do. My opinion of course.

@@HughLeFitness yep, $20 tricep rope will do the job just fine.

@@FitnessBauer the only place to order when they are back in stock is klevabuilt.com/ and I’m not 100% sure they deliver to you. You can always add something in stock and see what their shipping options are at checkout.

@@dennislin2753 thank you!! Glad you enjoyed the video.

@@TheCarterHomeGym I’m always trying to elevate my videos so the puff of smoke was a nice little touch 😀. Yeah I considered Baresteel and once I started adding everything in my cart I was like wow, that’s pricey for one hammer handle 😆 After owning these and using them for awhile, I don’t think I’ll be using a hammer handle enough to justify another purchase. I’ll be trying to stay on making videos, at least 2 a month is the goal so hopefully you jump back in at some point.

Thanks!! Happy to be back and making content again.

@@asianrulez201 the only way to get 1:1 is to use the high pulley. So technically, you can put your foot on the knee pad and row at an angle, but you can’t do seated rows. If you arch your back enough, you can pretty much do a row from the lat pulldown so yes it’s possible, but not on the adjustable pulley.

@@GoreckiFit thanks for the reply

@@dannypaul3333 of course!!

Length of it from top to bottom is like 35 inches. Bottom pipe is like 7 inches. Top feels like a solid bar but the bottom and body are definitely hollow, so a pipe would work. Diameter of hole is a tad over 2 inches so an Olympic barbell sleeve will go on it.

Haven’t *

@@jr-qc5ue yes, you can rotate it and use the attachment point for cable machines and add a single handle/attachment to it.

@@Myguiltyleisure yeah I’m not sure about the brand Keyfitness. I looked them up and they do look identical but this one is from X-mark Fitness and it looks like another company just copied the design maybe. I agree with the U shape too, my gf is short so she actually puts her feet on it for stability and works well, but definitely a tripping hazard if you’re not careful.

That’s definitely a good option.

Yep, they’ve got a great ecosystem going on for them.

So honestly, I bought this mainly for Nordics and the extra versatility was a big bonus. That being said, if you aren’t gonna utilize it for everything and the reverse hyper is not a reverse hyper so you’d still need the Westside which I have, then going the Titan will be a good choice. The Titan will be more stable in my opinion and doing reverse hypers will feel more stable as well. I will say I think the Freak Athlete is holding up very well and it’s easily a piece I use a few times a week. The Velcro GHD pad is the only thing I’m not a fan of otherwise it works very well. Reverse hyper again is not a real reverse hyper but the other exercises work great. If you use the Freak Athlete mostly at the lower setting, it’s a bit more stable but the Titan one is probably gonna feel more like a GHD and work well for Glute ham raises. The freak athlete can do them, but the Velcro does have some give, doesn’t physically come undone, but you can feel it move a tad. Ultimately comes down to the goal and your use for it. The FA does a great job for a versatile compact unit, but it sacrifices the feeling of being stable until you do the exercise. Once you do the exercise, It feels good.

@GoreckiFit Thanks! Very helpful and crazy quick response. Also, very helpful review to begin with. I am predisposed to love this product as an inventor and creative minamilist type (who has gone as far as drawing up various sketches of commercial and home gym innovations myself but have instead stayed focused on higher returing efforts in my career), so it's uniquely painful to turn to other more dedicated and limited options. I see the potential in a 2.0 or 3.0 derivative of Freak Athlete products being very exciting if the company can make it that far. Even if it might not be a fit for your needs, you'll probably enjoy checking out the Tytax products. I owned and enjoyed the M1, had a T1-X on order, and got close to ordering the MX with the JA option recently but space did not permit.

@@Tiger1016. that Txtax piece looks crazy for an all in one type unit. Yeah the Freak Athlete piece is pretty cool and overall they did a great job, but I definitely don’t see them being done yet. I’m sure they will work on refining this one until it’s much better. Once they get a nicer pad, maybe one that doesn’t have Velcro, it will be much better in my opinion. Again, definitely depends on what you’re using it for because you do a pay a bit more for the versatility. I think for your uses, either one will work very well.

The foot plate does make a small amount of noise. I workout with music so I usually don’t notice it.

Appreciate that!!

Hey thanks for stopping by and checking out the page. I really like them, but mainly use them for rehab work. I popped over to Primal Strength and those bands look great.

@@GoreckiFit Yes, they're on sale. I'll probably grab them, I use my loop bands for warm-ups and rehab work as well. They'll probably be better, maybe even as a finisher for triceps and biceps after curls and skull crushers.

Thanks, just looked it up and in most cases that would be correct, but loosen and unloosen mean basically the same thing. To make something loose, or to make something completely free.

They are very nice looking and super lightweight due to the aluminum design with only the attachment point being stainless steel.

@@GoreckiFit Ah ok, they're aluminum. I have the Bare Steel Equip hammer handles and they're nice, but have a different look because they're steel.

I think the pad is too wide for those. You can remove the pad and use your core, but it’s not gonna be good for seal row or chest supported row just due to the width of pad.

@@GoreckiFit thanks sir

The main ones I use would be the Prime RO-T8 handles and the Rogue D handles. The hammer handles are the ones from Klevabuilt and they feel good, but I only use occasionally to mix up my workouts.

Yeah a bit more knurling without being too aggressive is nice. My Iron Masters for going over 75 are very aggressive and some might find it uncomfortable so a lot of companies including Rep & Rogue, go more passive/medium to play it safe. Stainless would add to the cost, I quoted a few other companies and Umax I recall was much more for stainless.

With out a doubt it will add to the cost but if I’m already paying a lot of money for them. I wouldn’t mine pay a bit more for stainless steel. I shouldn’t have should come standard with all the high quality materials already. But that’s just my opinion.

@@sliccvicc7605 completely understand, always nice to have more options.

These were prototypes and they haven’t come out yet so not 100% sure but here’s the spec requirements for mad spotter hooks according to their website. “Handle length should be 4.5" (114 mm) or more, and handle diameter should be 1.4" (36 mm) or less”. Looks like they might drop in from the top even with the rails, but can’t be sure.

Thanks Chip!! Appreciate the support!

Only on rows, that high pulley is 1:1 and I doubt I’ll max that out ever with 350lbs on it.

The stack is 350lbs with 2:1 ratio and I had a 10lb plus the 5lb adder pin for a total of 190lbs for seated rows. My strength I’d say is average, but appreciate you calling me strong.

Goddamnn bro how long did it take you to max it out since you got the machine 1st day

@@thomaspham-qf4ry had to look at my old videos, had the single stack for 2 years and maxed it out for fun about a year later. Might have been sooner.

Not yet!! Work in progress 😂

Same!! Once they fix a few small things, these will be the perfect adjustable dumbbells.

@@Pler1978 the revisions that I’m aware of are different coating for plates, fixing the small amount of play in that slide mechanism, and they might make a smooth surface on handles for the incremental plates to sit on better. A storage cart and walk in stand are still in the works. Yep, it’s gonna be one long ass wait for these. David PÉPIN said everything will be fixed and production ones will be perfect.

This and as a loading pin for my wrist roller is what I use it the most for.
