I love John Meadows

[@DesignBuildLift]

He is my favorite fitness youtuber of all time!

@@DesignBuildLift mine too. I realized years after my knee surgery, i needed to work out to prefect my legs from getting weaker and weaker. The way he talked and explain things made me want to getting into building my body.

Bro! It's like you have answers for problems I did not even know ow I had because I did not even think some of these things possible in a home gym. Definition of value. Thanks, and keep it up.

[@DesignBuildLift]

Thank you so much for your support, Brother!!! 🤘💪🙏

[@CD-ky3sg]

That's would also work nice for standing calf raises! Great idea!

[@DesignBuildLift]

Absolutely! Great idea!!!! 🤘🙏💪

[@tonymurray7260]

Very innovative hack. I’m thinking there are many more ways to use this also. Thanks! Just subscribed!

[@DesignBuildLift]

Thank you for subscribing! There are definitely other uses (hack squat, standing calf raise, etc.) which I will showcase in a future video! 🤘🙏💪

[@tonymurray7260]

@@DesignBuildLift yeah I’ve always done my standing calf raises leaning toward the rack with the bar and this will save my bar and rack wear and tear. Thanks

[@kenbrandt6100]

Scrape/cage presses are my OHP of choice! Love this exercise, and am so pleased with the information in this video. Thanks!

[@DesignBuildLift]

Thank you, Ken! I appreciate it!

[@memolibir]

Danke für das Video I will try to buy it in Germany

[@DesignBuildLift]

Thank you! Please let me know how it works for you! 🤘🙏💪

[@jkrisanda2011]

[@DesignBuildLift]

My pleasure!

[@bobbullethalf]

Great idea!

[@DesignBuildLift]

Thank you so much! Please let me know how it works for you! 🤘💪🙏

[@cowboy21745]

That is good for calf raises

[@DesignBuildLift]

Absolutely! 🤘🙏💪Video for calf raises here: Standing Calf Raise HACK kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWm0cmiYl72Wr5o

[@goldmanasable]

Awesome content brother always really appreciate it

[@DesignBuildLift]

Thank you so much Adam! I greatly appreciate your support for this channel!!! 🤘💪🙏

[@jkrisanda2011]

Now thinking how I can use this for a wall squat variation.

[@DesignBuildLift]

There are definitely more uses than just the Cage Press (hack squat, standing calf raises, etc) - I will feature more in an upcoming video! 🤘🙏💪

[@craigpage1261]

I’m going to do this to my beater bar. Do you think it would also work for doing hack squats by leaning back against the rack with your feet in front of you?

[@DesignBuildLift]

Craig! Great question. I tried that, but I didn’t like it because I don’t have spotter arms. However, if you have spotter arms it should work great - set the spotter arms low and then begin and end the set at the bottom the rep. 🤘🙏💪

[@docyogi]

could this be used to make a smith machine hack?

[@DesignBuildLift]

It definitely has more applications than just the Cage Press - in full transparency I was running short on time so I only included the one exercise in this video. In a future video, I may include more exercises.

[@bannedtwice7767]

Hmmm an "old beater bar" you say 🤔. Oh! You mean my regular bars!!! 😅

[@DesignBuildLift]

Then you can make several of these! 😆

[@vltn3020]

I tried with fat grips and some lube onec kinda worked

[@DesignBuildLift]

Yes - unfortunately the rubber on the fat gripz provides too much friction. If you give my hack a try please let me know how it works for you!

[@DanCB7]

Or just put pvc pipe on your safety pins?

[@DesignBuildLift]

This hack reduces friction as you drag the barbell against your uprights.
