Changing The Home Gym Equipment Game w/ MAIAK-GO

[@cweb1988]

Dang....so we won't be able to get this in our hands until end of the year, or early next year? If I can mount this on simple sliding wall mount and it has good longevity....I'd get in in a heart beat.

[@GrayMatterLifting]

most likely, yeah. We'll have some more details during their AMA next week on production timelines

[@cweb1988]

Stoked about this...looks to be the only thing other than Voltra that checks the boxes and at a WAY better price than the Voltra.

[@GrayMatterLifting]

@@cweb1988 👍 agreed

[@jeffferguson69]

I wanna see more of this. If I can put it on my rack and it works well I’ll get one for sure at this price.

[@GrayMatterLifting]

@@jeffferguson69 yeah that $499 price is solid

[@rtra3863]

Still waiting 😂

[@griccini]

Any update on when this will actually go live

[@GrayMatterLifting]

@@griccini I talked to them this week. They said production is beginning and moving forward. Test products are being handled first I believe. So no official ETA, but it is moving.

[@ludenspal704]

@@GrayMatterLifting I guess we're talking months to market, minimum

[@GrayMatterLifting]

@@ludenspal704 just got some update. Might be MUCH sooner than we thought

[@12PieceAndaSoda]

How could you modify the resistance curve? This is the only feature I really care about lol. Given the voltra is like a rent payment

[@GrayMatterLifting]

@@12PieceAndaSoda it has an App, and since the motor is electric, it just modifies the resistance applied at different stages of the Rep.

[@ludenspal704]

what's the size of the hole for the wall mount? I could start drilling the holes to accomodate a standard DIY pulley system made with ring wall anchors, while waiting for this

[@GrayMatterLifting]

@@ludenspal704 I don't think they are monitoring this video, but I can ask them for ya

[@GrayMatterLifting]

@@ludenspal704 got an answer... See if this link works... drive.google.com/file/d/13T92ipHmziuPXf8aD6Kt8RVWh6JRMZ2w/view?usp=drivesdk

[@fwiffo42]

It’d be really neat to combine two of these with a Dialed Motion setup. You’d get a full functional trainer on your rack with 220 lb of resistance on each side and a lot more functionality than a traditional plate loaded or selectorized weight stack.

[@GrayMatterLifting]

Why are you thinking you'd need the dialed motion? Isn't that just an extra piece?

[@fwiffo42]

@@GrayMatterLifting faster to move the cable exit point up and down. It may be overkill, but I think there could be some value in combining these new types of resistance to a traditional machine. Like what if you had 2 or 3 cable machines in your garage but instead of needing to load them with plates or have a stack for each one, you could connect on of these to whichever machine you were using. Get the optimal bio-mechanics of a machine with a quickly movable, smart resistance source.

[@AlKadath]

​@@fwiffo42exactly turn any normal machine or cable setup into basically a prime machine strength curve , applications are endless

[@GrayMatterLifting]

@@fwiffo42 totally with you on the machine. I'm not seeing a huge win with the Dialed Motion though. You'd be connecting a pully system to a pully system, which seems redundant. I could get behind if the Dialed Motion was a dedicated Low Row or something, but I believe these swivel, can mount on basically anything, so you should be able to with a quick adjustment drop it anywhere on the rack.

[@echtalion]

I think they said the KS price would be $500, but the link has it as $599, from the RRP of $850.

[@GrayMatterLifting]

@@echtalion from my understanding you have to register to get that. And it might have gone up since the video already, as I think the closer we get, the higher the price

[@innateloopy279]

How long is the cable

[@GrayMatterLifting]

@@innateloopy279 not sure we have those details yet. First round of available products should be here soon though.

[@innateloopy279]

@ 🆒 was thinking if long enough would be awesome to use with the RG bar from functional pattern

[@sabar.c6535]

Do u know when they will be ready

[@GrayMatterLifting]

Nope! Great question to ask during their AMA though.

[@leftyrighty6059]

Much cheaper than a Voltra!

[@GrayMatterLifting]

@@leftyrighty6059 yep! Should be interesting

[@jermboat44]

Any idea what rack hole sizes will be compatible?

[@GrayMatterLifting]

@@jermboat44 I believe they plan to do similar to Beyond Power and make it compatible with anything you got

[@jermboat44]

@@GrayMatterLifting seems like a cool concept. I put down the $10. Hope they let some reviewers check out some units before it fully launches!

[@GrayMatterLifting]

@@jermboat44 I believe that is the plan. I'm on the list I believe as well.

[@rodolfomedini9931]

WOW surprised to see this! I just messaged Mr. Gluck about this two days ago. I actually emailed Andreas to see if it had eccentric too suprised it did very compelling especially at the $500 intial offer.

[@GrayMatterLifting]

@@rodolfomedini9931 yeah man, I've had half a dozen people message me about it before this chat. Glad I was able to connect with him

[@Snerdles]

Can tbis do app controls for doing things like auto-drop sets? Like set it so it drops 5 lbs every 3 reps... So that you can grind out one giant set until you just can't do any more?

[@GrayMatterLifting]

@@Snerdles not positive on the extent of the drop set, buy he did mention that the app has Drop Set functionality. So I would assume something similar to that

[@kriskarl1333]

How would you incorporate two of these for bench exercises? All I have now is a bench and a pair of powerblock dumbbells, and a pull-up bar.

[@GrayMatterLifting]

@@kriskarl1333 you definitely need something to anchor them down. A rack, or something you stand on, etc. if you have that, you could use them similar to a cable crossover machine, even lying down, or on your bench.

[@sagerkoheel3068]

Man that looks awesome. I go back and forth because my cable machine made of pulleys and metal will last forever. This on the other hand will free up space. but the longevity is unknown. What if the internet goes down and I can't get on the app. etc? What if the company goes out of business in 20 years. but its soo intriguing

[@GrayMatterLifting]

@@sagerkoheel3068 I think you have the right thought processes... definitely a difficult decision

[@ckPinson-n4j]

subscription?

[@GrayMatterLifting]

@@ckPinson-n4j not that we are aware of

[@Johan88k]

Kickstarter... yeah, not gonna happen...

[@GrayMatterLifting]

@@Johan88k I've gotten a few updates behind the scenes. It sounds like they are hard at work and we should start seeing them soon
