This is exactly what i was looking for, love the quick release bolts ideal for what i need. Overall great idea, don't need to be pay for a 1000+ euro/dollars for a bulky machine to do flys and most people with home gyms have small spaces to work with so great way of saving space.

[@UsawaFitness]

I love it! It's a great addon! 💪🏾

I'm glad you like it!

Vern!!! Having these quick connects are simply brilliant 🎉 Cheers!!!

[@UsawaFitness]

Thank you! It does make it quick and I don't think you really need the other eyebolts.

[@mikemazzi226]

My man !!amazing guide . Im having a hard time trying to find the Lat pulldown for the fitness reality cage ( it goes from $170 and up ) i only paid $100 for the cage 😂. I tough about buying the one from Balance form for $80 and see how to adapt it .

[@UsawaFitness]

@@mikemazzi226 Thanks man! You should check and see if Amazon has a prime day deal on it.

[@mikemazzi226]

THANKS so much for doing this video. These easy connects will hopefully do what I am so desperately needing..

[@UsawaFitness]

You are so welcome!

[@misteresguerra]

Nice video. Been following you for a minute and I love this diy hack. No joke, I think you should make these quick connects and sell them. I got the Fitness Reality Power Cage and could use these quick connects, I just don’t got the time to buy and make everything. Good stuff, man. Keep up the solid video content.

[@UsawaFitness]

Thanks man I appreciate the support here in my channel. I was thinking about making them and selling them but that little piece that holds the cable in place looks a little unprofessional because it's sanded down and I'm not sure if people would be out off by that. I might try it though.

[@michael-789-c]

I like this cage more then the other one 💪💪💪💪

[@UsawaFitness]

I was wondering what you all were going to think about these two cages!

[@3gypt]

Yo this is brilliant homie. I'm thinking about gettiing a cage and was wondering if i could add pulleys when i came across your video. Gotta say I'm all about finding clever efficiencies... & I have to tip my hat to you sir 😏 way to innovate.

[@UsawaFitness]

Man I wish I could take the credit for this one but one of my subscribers came up with it and I just put it together but I'm glad I did! It's a perfect solution. Thanks for watching!

@@Fanny-fl5id really anything. A piece of wood to go around that bolt. I'm going to redo this video soon to improve that feature.

Awesome setup!

[@UsawaFitness]

Thank you!

[@NyNjMafia]

I’m using a Titan T2 rack with extended plate holders and a lat pull down.. I have a similar setup but my eye bolts have 2 nylon washers and 2 stainless washers front and back .. instead of the quick disconnect I use Butterfly Nuts .. the nylon and the stainless steel washers are glued with a drop of crazy glue and the other end it’s glue with the Eye bolt , its fairly quick to connect and disconnect.. the nylon washers are used so the rack doesn’t get scratched

[@UsawaFitness]

That's the same reason that I use the nylon washers. Send me a picture of your setup man! I can show it to the community here as an alternative. 💪🏾

[@JoseSuarez-bk3qg]

This is nice. Love the DIY video.

[@UsawaFitness]

Thanks man!

[@lawrence09151]

After building the quick connects and discovering some of its shortcomings I have decided to improve on them in a few ways. One is a must have and that is putting a 3/8” 2in steel washer behind the rubber one. The other day, the quick connect came flying through the 1 inch hole of the fitness reality cage. The washer you have behind the 2in rubber washer is too small and will get pulled through once the rubber washer has had enough. Second the cheap plastic tubing from ace got all tore up and needs to be replaced. I’m going to replace it with 3/8in pex type b tubing. Lastly I’m going to experiment with adding some stainless steel D ring shackles with “no snag pin” to make it easier to connect the carabiner. Just have to make sure it fits through the 1in cage hole. All of this does add to the cost but as it is now, it’s unusable if you want to protect the cage and minimize noise. Overall they have been such a great add. Thanks again!

[@UsawaFitness]

Nice job! I think you might have skipped the part at 6:14 where I added that second washer. That what is the one that holds the quick connect in place and prevents it from coming through the hole. Nice work making it your own though. Have fun!

[@lawrence09151]

Crap I used the smaller washers. I followed the guide emailed and used the same smaller washers for everything including the cable fly. It didn’t specify to use a larger washer but I should’ve known. Thanks Verne!

[@UsawaFitness]

@@lawrence09151 it's all good I definitely didn't spell that out for you guys in the video. I need to update these videos because I found a way to build these without all of the extra tools in the first video.

I've been trying to add this to a rouge monster lite squat rack with has 5/8" holes and legs that are 3" wide. I can't find an eyebolt that is small enough to fit into the holes and it long enough to stick out of the other side (would need to be about 4") has anyone had any luck finding eyebolts of this size?

I think you can get one from Grainger
