Being able to do heavy bench work without a spotter in my garage is a valuable commodity.

[@MyHomeGym_]

Great video Mike. So I have the PRX Performance Fold In Squat Rack that has 2x3” beams with 5/8” holes - do you know if there are any lever arms like the one featured in your video that will connect to a 2x3 frame? I haven’t been able to fine any. Thanks!

[@hybridresistance]

I saw one on Amazon, but it got bad reviews. I don’t know if they have stopped my head. I’d likely would just be Google searching though. Appreciate you watching as always, Larry

[@JayB-JayB]

VERY cool!

[@kyles8391]

Thanks Mike, I plan on getting jammer arms but I've got the REP PR-5000 rack with their Ares 2.0 cable system coming. I'm looking for the converging (free motion) feature with horizontal and vertical locking points. Also want something that integrates with a pulley and that's quick/easy to attach/detach (fine with leaving the trolleys on and just removing the arms). Thought PRx would deliver on that but they crapped the bed so now I'm waiting for the Bulletproof arms that are due out soon.

[@hybridresistance]

Sounds like you got the right idea. I’m gonna be dabbling and testing this out for a while until I commit to a more expensive one.

[@kyles8391]

@@hybridresistance lol yeah been looking at jammer arms for awhile so what I'm looking for is a culmination of feedback from a lot of rack owners with a cable system. No one wants to deal with taking them on/off if they're a PITA to do it, so an integrated option is huge. It addresses the resistance curve while also turning your rack/cables into a FreeMotion machine set up. 💪

[@GGhostStudios]

Hey Mike, I’m fresh out of surgery. Broke my wrist skating, on the road to recovery. I wouldn’t say they’re essential but definitely not overrated. One of the safer options I would say, no spotter required. Stay well, god bless bro.

[@hybridresistance]

Sorry to hear that my friend. Are you a skateboarder? I’d love to get into one of those hobbies, but I know it would be a matter of time until I’d be in surgery. God bless to you as always, brother.

[@GGhostStudios]

@@hybridresistance thx bro. No i rollerblade, hit a pot hole on a slant at a good clip.

[@hybridresistance]

I got some rollerblades about 3 yrs ago and realized quickly learning to stop is a skill all in itself.

[@protectandserve7385]

Hey Mike Great video as always. Do you think these will fit with the Rogue SML 70” Monster Lite squat stand?

[@hybridresistance]

I think they would but you would have to make sure to add some extra weight on a weight horn to load down the machine. Obviously you have to be careful.

[@protectandserve7385]

@@hybridresistance ty sir. Yeh I have the plate holders affixed with some weight. For that price it’s really a quality purchase. Thanks again man, as always.

[@johnsmith-iu9py]

Thanks for the vids. I like the Quantum Trainer. Do you know where it's manufactured? Is it from China?

[@hybridresistance]

I believe it’s manufactured in China

[@theozwalter3009]

They are very versatile and that’s a good price. Great video!!🇺🇸

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks man. I agree with you on both points.

[@shiwakuseven5859]

They are overrated. Lever arms are o.k., but just o.k. If I had to do it again, I would have just bought hammock straps and used them like lever arms.

[@hybridresistance]

Which pair did you pick up?

[@StonedRambo01]

Great video. Is there any uhmw plastic on it to protect the uprights? Or room to line it with gorilla tape or something to fit on a Rogue monster rack

[@hybridresistance]

They come with these plastic bumpers, but I took them off. You can see little shots of it in the video. I didn't find them necessary and also wanted more space at the end for the handles.

[@StonedRambo01]

@@hybridresistance Thanks, but I think you misunderstood the question. I'm talking about where the bracket connects to the upright. Not the handle end with the bumper. Is it lined with anything that wraps around the upright? At the point where you adjust the arms up and down

[@rambojohn7118]

Mike do the Arms have liners to protect the rack uprights from getting really cut up scratched?

[@hybridresistance]

If you mean on the inside of the areas that pins to the rack, I'm honestly not sure. I'll have to check when I get back home. But I don't think so. However, I noticed no scraping whatsoever on the rack for whatever that's worth.

[@user-bu6se7cj2q]

These look better because they are adjustable with the grip and the Vendetta Style posts. I have a Titan T3 rack, and I got the Lever Arms off of marketplace for pretty cheap. I don't use them as much as possible because the handle doesn't move at all, and it's inconvenient to set up and takedown. If I am doing lever arm stuff, I will use hammock straps attached to eye bolts in my rack because they are easier to set up and store away. If I had these I may use them more. They can at least stay on the rack out of the way which makes set up not as annoying.

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks for this comment. Always good to hear everyone's perspective and use of these products.

[@FillTaylor]

Thanks for this review. Just wondering: does anybody make lever arms to fit a 2" wide half rack? [Never mind - I found some after a search on Amazon!]

[@hybridresistance]

Let me know that brand, if you get a chance.

[@FillTaylor]

@@hybridresistance I opted for: ER Kang Adjustable Jammer Arms for Power Cage, Fit 2" Power Cage, 600LBS Capacity Lever Arm, Squat Rack which sells for $59.99. Delivery is set for the end of next week.

[@shall7070]

Very versatile, but seems to be just too much set up time for me.

[@MetalsForBrunch]

isolated cable rows feel better on my functional trainer compared to lever plate load machines. lever arms can be replaced with barbell/dumbbell movements.

[@avinashtyagi2]

So, sounds like you're saying to wait for v.3 of the QT

[@hybridresistance]

I’ll likely make a full comparison in the future when they release the full lat package. It’s not really a fair one to to one comparison, but if you’re just doing basic lever exercises and don’t want a dedicated machine, then the some simple jammer arms might be the way to go. Another way to look at it is that these cheap arms would be a good way of assessing how much you would value the function of a dedicated machine.

[@avinashtyagi2]

@@hybridresistance That full comparison sounds good maybe do it with the swiveling jammer arms so you get a fair comparison

[@neillobo5231]

Check out Kaizen/gym pin lever arm adapters that allow them to swivel inwards and outwards with 5 locked positions. They may not be compatible with these arms though. Great review!

[@hybridresistance]

I have seen that and mentioned in a some previous videos. I got to see if it would fit this.

[@eldybellacetin8167]

Dude im just going to make it its not that complicated

[@NoFate247]

largely overrated

[@hybridresistance]

Happy Father’s Day brother

[@brianscott8456]

Second

[@HomeGymAustralia]

First

[@smoothierip5693]

looks like it forces you to start bench press from the bottom position which makes them useless for benching. so there's that lol.

[@gregoryanderson7103]

Lever arms suck, waist of money and potentially dangerous

[@hybridresistance]

Love the honest feelings brothers
