I want to shout out the importance of video chapters.

[@steverapos3904]

I really wish I could give this 1,000 likes, makes it a lot more efficient to look at long videos

[@michaeleldridge5640]

they are in the description but not showing on the video. i wonder if they are too long maybe

[@PappaAlvaro]

​@@steverapos3904Maybe training the attention span is a good thing to do

[@BradleyADavis]

Definitely want to see a Coop video on the Vendetta/Kaizen/prx debacle.

[@kyles8391]

nah, it's been hashed and rehashed on too many channels already

[@minhinh0]

utter waste of time 😂. feel bad for the small businesses vs big ones for sure but in 2024 who is really buying jammer arms? all the functional trainer craze and smith machine attachment craze taking up real estate on your upright posts is way better than some jammer arms.

[@polycultural-capital-enjoyer]

As a european, I can't wait for you to do in-depth reviews on ATX products, especially their benches and barbells.

[@mlh6s]

We need more ATX reviews. Can't wait for them to come to the USA! Looks like solid equipment all around.

[@alenbukvic]

Seperate channel for professional gym equipment? Would love it. So much content you could make.

[@GarageGymReviews]

I would too and have definitely considered it. So much cool stuff and a lot of value I think we could bring to that market. - Coop

[@brianpetro391]

And maybe progressional equipment that can be considered for home gyms like Gymleco 😊. I’m currently looking at their hack squat and leg press for a home gym but there is very little out there as far as reviews…

[@danieloh698]

People watch car review channels on Bugattis not civics. But they buy civics. Its a great idea to review equipment we'll never own tbh.

[@logancarman1917]

This would actually be incredible

[@forhisglory1984]

Machines that are garage gym affordable

[@virgillopez5889]

The Darko anchor was a game changer in my home gym.

[@CombatWombatI]

looking forward to the ATX equipment 👌

[@forhisglory1984]

Yes you should do a video about PRX and Kaizen

[@brycefowler5821]

Let’s see a review for that leg press! And the bulletproof VTS system 💪🏻

[@Wetterwet]

Second this

[@MrPanthers23]

I really can't wait for my repins dumbells

[@patrickmurphy8008]

That Mutant Metals attachment is so cool, and how they do all the custom colors etc.

[@enriquel1993]

Please review the Iron Master Lat pulldown with the seat attachment. It seems perfect for a home gym.

[@carps_gym]

Solid list. Nice to see some of the smaller companies get some love and recognition

[@dbertap]

Could we get a review of the Eleiko Prestera ecosystem? It looks amazing but getting an in-depth look at how the pieces work together and how those might work with other attachments would be amazing!

[@dbertap]

I'd defiantly like to see what you did to the Free Motion Functional Trainer, and even a comparison to the Prime Fitness Functional Trainer.

[@DemietrichBaker1]

Couldn't agree more with the Voltra. Was expensive, but by far the most innovative piece of gym equipment since the invention of the barbell. Love it

[@cv2633]

Oh for sure, but for the price you can definitely make your home gym A LOT better with more pieces and weight capacity but for space saving, it’s definitely number 1

[@kyles8391]

More interested in the release of the Maiak Trainer. With their $1 deposit for VIP release pricing at $500 and a 220-lb resistance it's going to make Voltra think twice about their pricing. No subscription and you don't even need their app to use it.

[@UberAugie]

@@kyles8391 I put the $1 deposit down, company is very responsive to answering questions. Looks legit.

[@Buy_YT_Views_533]

You're genuinely talented at this

[@BrimhallBarbellClub]

The one piece of equipment that completely changed my little gym was Buffalo Bully Fabrication’s Bully Glyder. Replaces any top loaded weight pin for a cable system and attaches to the rack. American made. Super smooth. It’s awesome.

[@TraptacularD]

Definitely show some commercial pieces. Home gyms do have room for 1 or 2 bits of commercial gear that people REALLY love that hits their muscles just right.

[@bigk2080]

I've been waiting for this 🏋‍♂️

[@shuvamsatpathy6060]

Now that's what I was waiting for😍😍😍😍!!!!

[@jonstewart5386]

Commercial machine reviews would be awesome! Thanks for bringing it up.

[@NUMBER_74]

As a freemotion owner I have been waiting patiently for your video on this as far as modifying one goes. As always, thanks for the content!

[@GarageGymReviews]

Working on it! - Coop

[@dbertap]

I'd defiantly like to see what you did to the Free Motion Functional Trainer, and even a comparison to the Prime Fitness Functional Trainer. Thanks Coop.

[@raheemkhan2105]

Hey Coop! Can we please review a full gym of all Temu machines? How low can we go??? I think it would be awesome to weigh out the pros and cons for a low budget machine gym.

[@jonmacbuff2268]

Weight pins / loading pins !!! These are so versatile in the right hands. I clip my cable attachments to them and do some kettlebell swings, rows, use them on their own as grip training implements, add weight in interesting angles and places, set up pulleys for a lat pull-down, and basically turn a pile of 10lb. weight plates into adjustable dumbbells/kettlebells.

[@peterzhao86]

Please review the Dialed Motion Ibex system

[@ak-zw8jv]

Glucks gym did a pretty in depth review

[@stanleygarrett769]

Yeah...that bullet proof VTS lite Rack attachment is sick...

[@ChuicyProductions]

Would love to see the Maxum SX2 functional trainer/rack. Looks awesome

[@jonmacbuff2268]

2:52 Coop: I'll have an LMNT martini... shaken, not stirred ;)

[@parmeshkumar1683]

Loving that you're including a few smaller brands.

[@mattv9240]

I'd like to hear your take on the PRX controversy.

[@Wetterwet]

Would love to see more machine reviews

[@killerkhatiby009]

Coop, you gotta take a look at the MAXUM Fitness SX2 and the Force USA C10 (with their sliding bench), to me those seem like the most innovative and feature-packed all-in-one combo racks. Way more functionality compared to the Rep and Rogue options featured in this video and more affordable too.

[@B05SxBrennan]

I would love to see Coop review some MAXUM products! I have their F-220 rack and it's been awesome so far. I haven't been able to find any other racks with one-inch hole spacing and a built-in functional trainer for the F-220's price point in Canada. The downside is that it has some unusual upright measurements (4 cm x 8 cm) that prevent it from being compatible with attachments from other brands, even with spacers. I didn't need any attachments though, so not an issue for me.

[@kyles8391]

The C10 sliding bench is nuts, I've got the REP Ares 2.0 coming and I'm pretty sure with the REP utility seat as a foot plate it will work

[@TorBoy9]

Nice reviews. There is great value in keeping up the competition. I welcome more ATX stuff for North America. Innovation makes everything better for all of us.

[@FLEXjs]

Seeing one of your lifting vids in a GGR video = priceless.

[@mateo1726]

The Rep QuickDraws have been awesome.

[@joecowan3719]

Best response shirt, Strength Co Puff Coat T.

[@carps_gym]

😂

[@thomasrichter9183]

I like the Dean Scream at the end.

[@darrensemmel6830]

I would love to see you review the Maxum SX2 and Force USA C10

[@spud1300]

Recently got the Freak Athlete all in one bench. So good! Also cool how they have the leg extension add-on available, will probably be my next add.

[@amfitness5598]

I am obsessed with the Gymleco leg equipment…looking forward to the review for that one. For years I’ve considered the powertec leg press as the one to get when I’m ready to add a leg press but Gymleco one is sick. I can’t get over that beautiful design and compact nature of it. I just hope it’s not complete unaffordable for home purchasers.

[@rmgaming3899]

The Darko anchors have been a game changer to me.

[@bazintrickways3045]

Love to see you review commercial gym equipment. I have a combo of commercial and home gym in my gym. I want a pendulum squat, but there is almost no comparison reviews. Such as Atlantis versus arsenal strength versus gymleco versus French fitness.

[@conqueringbarbell2101]

The most innovative Specialty bar is the United Fit cambered bar. That bar can handle over 1000 lbs, you can detach the weight horns and use the multi grip handle for cable lat/low row attachment. The middle portion is cut out so you won't hit your face while doing shoulder/overhead presses.

[@ArmedBatman]

I see them for sale so much on marketplace. Only cambered swiss bar I wont buy. The design looks awful and the functions you listed makes me doubt anyone going through that trouble to do it. I have several other cable attachments and bars that do those excercises better. You can achieve the same excercises you mentioned on the rep cambered swiss bar without removing the sleeves.

[@danielpicerni24]

Dialed motion should be in there somewhere. Their rack attached functional trainer and lat pull down options look awesome.

[@Mench951]

I have it. It's great. Takes up virtually no space and does everything an Ares can do (though it is plate loaded but given how little space it takes up I can live with that trade off). Can't wait till their rollers and footplate is released.

[@KCChief1204]

@@Mench951 I have one as well - it is awesome. What do you mean by rollers coming out?

[@Mench951]

@@KCChief1204I meant the leg pads to hold your legs down while doing lat pulldowns. Based on their instagram account, they have a piece they're working on that will be both a footplate for rows with detachable leg rollers. Looks pretty cool.

[@chunnin33]

So many amazing products in the market

[@LegendSays-vn8ch]

Great video

[@RobIvy]

+1 for the mammoth belt squat with kickstand from Fringe Sport. Love the wall mount adapter option. I modded mine to also function as a seated calf raise. Highly recommend!

[@danieloh698]

So pleased I ordered the Megalith handles after your first mention. It'll be out of stock for decades after this vid. Also ordered his weightpins that have the 2 inch diameters so I can finally use normal weight clips when loading my lever arms. Also the surplus strength spotters are so useful to use on jammer arms since they take up only 4 inches you can fit them on below or under your arms easily.

[@kyles8391]

Love my Freak Athlete, bought it January. When they released their updated one later with the colored knobs they changed their warranty to 2 years. Mine has a lifetime, reached out to Freak Athlete who said any purchases before March 22 has the lifetime warranty and 2 years after that date.

[@ItsxMagiicGaming]

Freak athlete also has an attachment to do plate loaded leg curls and laying hamstring curls. The versatility is crazy.

[@RakibulIslam-js7jq]

Griffin deserved the lever arm award. They've been on the market for far longer than prx.

[@kyles8391]

With my REP Ares 2.0 coming I pulled the trigger on a pinkies up "Larry Scott" lat pulldown bar via the Fat Bar Reverse Lat Pulldown 48 bar that EliteFTS sells ($81 with a discount code). Larry Scott passed 10 years ago but his website is still up and even though you can't order from it anymore you can find his "upside down lat pulldown bar" there. The description explains why a fat bar is necessary... "All back work should move the scapula through it's entire range of movement, from full adduction to full abduction. If you start the exercise with the little finger higher than the thumb. It makes it easier to get into full abduction position. That's why the bar should be turned up on the outside not turned down. The bar needs to be at least 1 1/4' in diameter and it should never be revolving. Otherwise the bar will twist right out of your hands."

[@Fitforacting]

20:12 come on Coop! I expect you to know this is the first Mr. Olympia and give him the props he deserves❤

[@Fitforacting]

Ironically, enough back was not one of his strongest suits

[@kyles8391]

Bulletproof VTS and voltra look sick. Great lineup😊

[@kyles8391]

looking forward to Bulletproof's new jammer arms due out soon

[@coopertrost3816]

got my ares 2.0 special edition on pre-order!

[@kyles8391]

Same, and looking at finding a way to use the new Force USA C10 sliding bench with it. I think with the REP utility seat as a foot plate it's doable.

[@jro3299]

Rogue Velocidor: Ask customer service for a second pin, its a game changer for ease of use.

[@frankback8872]

Can u do more on standard old plates, equipment etc. Thanks

[@DeanTribbett]

Dialed Motion?

[@SGEnemark]

Coop, I'm on a new journey with all this Home gym, I comes from the Military, Trathlon and endurance sports, now into Body training, calisthenics. I love your videos! Keep it up. I need new floor mates, can you recommend any heights for these? I want to have the best possible for dropping weights, but not in a Crossfit way. :) So is 30 mm okay or should I go for 60+mm??

[@andrewmartin1842]

Can we get a Coop coffee/espresso review! Love to hear about the Olympia lever machine you got! Love the content, keep up the great work!

[@AstraImperium]

I think the force USA C10 base bench and the C10 sliding bench should of won most innovative. The base model can hook up to a cable tower to do leg extensions and leg curls, comes with preacher curl pad and is vertically storing for a good price. I want to use with my bells cable tower. The sliding bench can allow to do hack squats and leg presses. Pretty crazy.

[@kyles8391]

yep, I said the same thing. I've got the Ares 2.0 on pre-order, due out in late Aug and I'm thinking with the REP utility seat as a foot plate I can get that C10 sliding bench to work. I'll sell my Ironmaster Super Bench if it pans out.

[@liamhanavan1644]

Yes! Gymleco leg press and prime leg ext leg curl review please!! Dream pieces for my gym

[@nicelikemike]

Knurled espresso handle is next level lol

[@willwharton5813]

Macebell reviews. Im curious about adding one to my gym.

[@josephearhart6623]

I have the prime leg ext/curl. It is worth every penny to me and the wait. I waited 33 weeks when I ordered mine. Every time I go to commercial gyms I still prefer the prime combo to every piece I use aside from the standalone prime leg ext and prone curl. The combo is goat status for the home gym. I love the stability pad also. Try the dynepic sports single spiral strength attachment. Use it for my freemotion dual cable for triceps individually. Excellent

[@marcusellis387]

With your footprint in the home gym community, I would love to see a video on the controversy surrounding the PRX Halo Arms.

[@ryanunderwood6827]

"Jammer arms aren't that useful" I think one of the Power Athlete coaches would like a word. He's doing tons of good stuff with basic jammer arms that isn't dynamic based work.

[@tz12346]

Great video! I highly recommend the MOBO Board by Jay Dicharry, a PT. It's fixed a lot of my balance and foot strength issues, and you can do squats if you have two of them.

[@HighSpinSwingSpeed]

Jeez. I want all of it

[@Oli-Ravioli]

Coincidentally, I received my cone grips from Rogue today. They are exactly as expected. IMO this is a ''must'' attachment for cable systems.

Hello Coop, Is there any kinda device for having a sort of simulator for open water swimming but then at home. Like a 3 meter (10 feet i think) water pool that simulate open water swim, but then at home. Sort of like those surfers at a closed pool were thet get those fake waves.

[@mikehermosillo3139]

Do the new plate loaded lat pulldown machine from prime fitness. I wanna know if it also eliminates the need for a stand alone row machine since the angle of pull and seat adjust so much
