"With the mini jack, I couldn't even get it up. 😢" -Brandon Campbell 😂😂😂

[@BasementBrandon]

u know me.

[@sp-nj9le]

not even 30 seconds in the video and already we got dad jokes love you brandon

[@BasementBrandon]

Sanjin Pilepić making up for lost time.

[@JohnmillerPowerlifting]

Out of all of them it is by far the best looking. It looks like you could very easily beat someone off the platform for doing curls.

[@BasementBrandon]

one way to find out...

[@CIARALEKLEVA]

accurate

[@andyloucks]

Love it! The worst part about deadlifting is getting the weights on and off the bar :|

[@davidbakker3]

Andrew Loucks leg press same, that's my cardio done lol

[@rockfella27]

Boring shit plus the back hurts while trying to rest

[@BasementBrandon]

This is why I take so long between sets lol

[@CIARALEKLEVA]

agreed!

[@jefftparker]

Worst part is actually deadlifting.

[@RusselNguyen]

ahhh, so this is what Candito was showing in his IG story

[@BasementBrandon]

They sent it to a few people, including Ogus.

[@walterarama]

Lost it at the wolverine part, watch out Hugh jackman

[@BasementBrandon]

Now only if I were a huge jackedman

[@spicnspan320]

Just ordered one, though shipping being a third of the price definitely was a bit much, but I have been talking about needing a portable jack lately and this fits the bill. Thanks for the tip, Brandon!

[@BasementBrandon]

I wasn't aware the shipping cost until some mentioned it. I passed it on to the Genesis Jack team.

[@nickc3365]

This deadlift jack is amazing. I've had 300kg so far loaded up and its no problem. One handed mostly just guiding with the off hand. It takes minimal effort. They figured out shipping to canada to. It still wasn't super cheap but I think around 30$ with minimal customs. More than worth it.

[@BasementBrandon]

appreciate the insight

[@leadpaint1969]

Bro. You're SuperHero costume game is off the hook. Mad props. Literally.

[@BasementBrandon]

Had to spice some of these up

[@jefftparker]

$90 isn't even bad. Plus I can support a smaller business. Deal.

[@BasementBrandon]

i think it's well worth it!

[@chandlermccutchan8295]

The idea I love about it is that the handle to operate the jack is higher up above the bar(I think you said total height is 18") compared to the rogue jack and that wedge, each of those you have to bend over and with the rogue jack you have to push the handle to the floor and then back up again, which is annoying and tiring. The genesis jack seems superior to operate at knee height

[@BasementBrandon]

I was surprised at how well it worked as a lever.

[@MrAmysi]

International shipping 70$ 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Where can I get one in Canada?

[@mikecamp101]

Spotmebruv ! Had one in checkout until I saw that...high price for shipping to Canada

[@nickc3365]

well that sucks. was looking for one. the mini deadlift jack is terrible. cant lift more than 4ish plates plus it moves the bar back so much to use it. Hopefully they fix that shipping issue.

[@BasementBrandon]

Damn lol. Hope they can work out shipping costs.

[@killswitchscar1060]

Seems Like the best of the bunch, only thing I can think of is the dead wedge can be used with specialty bars like a trap bar or axle bar.

[@BasementBrandon]

ah yeah true

[@user29a]

wow that is the most entertaining deadlift jack video ever made by man or god.

[@BasementBrandon]

OR MUTANT

[@tonythomas2092]

Love your reviews Brandon. Another alternative to using a small plate is to put your lifting belt around the plates and roll them up onto it. It’s not perfect but it solves the potential damage over time issue using change plates, and doesn’t take up any extra space in your gym bag ‘cause you’re gonna pack your belt either way

[@BasementBrandon]

Ah you know I've seen that but never tried it. I have white lettering on my belt and I'm afraid that would get it super dirty.

[@mr.perfectcell3843]

I just ordered mine, idk if it was the sick utility that convinced me or you in the Wolverine costume wacking it. Now to play the waiting game...

[@BasementBrandon]

Haha awesome

[@Jonnynot1plate]

Dammit you've sold me and just like the Rogue Jack, I'm gonna get 2

[@BasementBrandon]

I think they may come out with a full size version down the road.

[@Jonnynot1plate]

Brandon Campbell Diamond thanks! But with limited space and option to take it with me 2 would small ones would be best. Does the back stand up well on its own without moving? I do a lot of RDL with drop sets so I drop on the mini rogue jack between sets to takes plates off. How well would it work on the jack?

[@BasementBrandon]

As long as it's on a flat surface it's worked awesome. The only time I've ran into a little bit of trouble is if I have half of the jack on the wood and the other half on the rubber mat b/c they're not the exact same height.

[@ross9804]

Really like the video, shows the comparisons and cons! Only recommendations would be to add music in the background possibly, also, fix that white noise that seemed to occur near the end! Other than that, awesome vid!

[@BasementBrandon]

Thanks for taking a look. I used to add in background music but I think it ends up taking away more than it adds!

[@purorawmirez]

Wow... Wolverine at Brandon Basement!

[@BasementBrandon]

Hope to have more guest stars in the future.

[@AlexRides808]

Weight, weight, hold up. You're dead lifting 500 pounds but worried about if your jack is light weight or not?

[@BasementBrandon]

this jack is targeted at those who would likely bring it to a gym.

[@RocketLeon45]

.... Kinda wished I knew about this when my grandparents were asking what I wanted for Christmas.

[@BasementBrandon]

lol

[@jacobethandurham4]

Love seeing Steve's hard work be praised. Guy deserves it and Ciara is also a super star from the business side of things!

[@BasementBrandon]

Real solid job all around!

[@CIARALEKLEVA]

AWHHHH THANK YOU!

[@mikegorbet2544]

This called for a second comment. One. Funny ass wolverine skits. Was unexpected. Two. This jack seems to get rid of my issue of when you slide on and off. That 19 inches causes it to slides and bites at the wood on my dead platform. I like this more upright jack. May have to grab one.

[@BasementBrandon]

I will be getting rid of my mini jack. My one suggestion to them was with the feet, as it can potentially damage softer wood.

[@austinconiglio]

Wasn't sure about this jack when pictures started surfacing, but really surprised at how well it seems to work

[@BasementBrandon]

Same!

[@Fitforacting]

Have you tried it the Back widow? It’s for lay pull downs, seated rows, t bar rows w/ barbell or dumbbell, and to lift up Barbell to add plates

[@BasementBrandon]

I haven't!

[@richman360]

For the sake of the bar and the weight I find it best to get a full sized jack regardless. Having two points of contact has to be better for the bar and for the stability when loading weights.

[@BasementBrandon]

I find the only time a full jack is limited is with a deadlift bar with a lot of weight on it, both ends will tend to hand down making it harder to load.

[@erwincruz6233]

This is the best review for the item. Will buy

[@BasementBrandon]

It's a solid jack!

[@josephscalia1251]

My genesis jack bent under two 45 lb plates while unloading. After contacting customer service and troubleshooting the issue it appears that the problem was that the 3/8 inch foam flooring was too compressive was therefore not supportive enough to use this jack. A firm, non-compressive floor is key to preventing this from happening.

[@BasementBrandon]

Interesting, I haven't had any issues with mine. Have you reached out to them?

[@josephscalia1251]

Yes, they were very responsive and refunded me when I returned it to them. I think what happened was that the Jack tilted slightly laterally as the foam beneath it compressed slightly. I’m not sure if it was a design flaw or simply a weak spot in that particular segment. I’ve since changed the flooring at my home gym to a rubberized mat, but I’m sticking with my dead wedge for now.

[@andrewjoslyncomedy]

My man busting out the wolverine costume.

[@BasementBrandon]

Big thanks to hugh jackman for stopping by

[@kaydenl8552]

When you popped up in the wolverine costume I cried from laughter!😂😂

[@BasementBrandon]

That wasn't me, it was Hugh Jackman!

[@jackielee6604]

Just ordered one Saturday. Paid $17 for shipping that I couldn’t get out of and not really sure what the shipping was so much since it’s just over a pound. I believe it stated 1-3 days shipping however it is now Monday and it has not been shipped yet¿

[@BasementBrandon]

I asked them about shipping and they told me it's due to the dimensions of the box.

[@codyktam]

The wolverine scenes are gold

[@BasementBrandon]

Thanks for taking a look dude.

[@FunniLeeEnough]

I love it. what a simple smart design. The guy who thought it up should be snatched up by rogue!

[@BasementBrandon]

Def works better than expected.

[@sanitary103]

Good review man. Though I don’t lift too heavy, it seems like a great product. Can’t stand wrestling with the 45’s off the floor. Also, is assembly required for this product?

[@BasementBrandon]

ships assembled!

[@mikecamp101]

Looks really good. Nice review, thanks Brandon!

[@BasementBrandon]

Thanks Mike

[@RaineyPowerTraining]

Very nice! Will definitely be pick one up.

[@BasementBrandon]

Really been easy to use so far.

[@DrewLSsix]

Man, here I was figuring out a way to make my own version of this from scrap and you went and told me that it was a Homebrew operation.

[@BasementBrandon]

whoops :)

[@brendanheffernan7580]

Placed my pre-order right after watching this review!

[@BasementBrandon]

hope you like it!

[@dustinmcd91]

Shipping is $20 on this, seems a bit much for something under 2 pounds.

[@BasementBrandon]

dustinmcd91 I think it’s more due to the size and not fitting in a standard box as it comes fully assembled. I believe their cost on average is $13-22. I’ll ask though.

[@dustinmcd91]

Brandon Campbell Diamond fair enough. Still brings it in under the normal price will be, and I think pretty close to the Rogue mini jack.

[@CurtisNear]

Awesome review Brandon! I was thinking about doing some review type of videos on my channel!

[@BasementBrandon]

go for it!

[@DJHEV]

Damn, definitely a must.

[@BasementBrandon]

Surprised how well it worked.

[@abassplayer4life]

Just what I was looking for. Thank you.

[@BasementBrandon]

Thanks David

[@racingdesire]

Ordered one! came out to 115 Canadian, and I have to spend a few hours to go across the border to pick it up because those international shipping rates are not cool. Hope it's worth it

[@BasementBrandon]

I passed that info on to them!

[@glenng2655]

Great review and hilarious! 😂😂😂 do u know if there's a warrantee in case manufacture defect? Will they replace or be able to replace parts in an event of it breaking?

[@BasementBrandon]

I believe there should be!

[@ihyrst1409]

How is it on your platform or “stall mats”. The bottom of the jack looks pretty aggressive?

[@BasementBrandon]

Can eat soft wood, but no real issue on the mats.

[@thomasm5799]

Instant like for the awesome Wolverine bits

[@BasementBrandon]

Hah figured it might add some flair.

[@kylekoster1389]

Love the home gym vids

[@BasementBrandon]

Kyle koster appreciates dude!

[@seventheoutlawspits]

I went to website and nothing plz tell me they still available

[@BasementBrandon]

They are

[@seventheoutlawspits]

Brandon Campbell Diamond where?

[@TheSwoleNurse]

Holy crap lol. Was not expecting that!

[@BasementBrandon]

Nice of Hugh to stop by.

[@Virje94]

Did the genesis jack put a small dent or chip in your platform?

[@BasementBrandon]

It didn't.

[@JLPerez90]

And the award for KZbin entertainer of the year goes to...

[@BasementBrandon]

ayyy

[@markmarco3347]

Here in Nigeria we use a 6 wheeler track Jack... just that weighs already 500lbs

[@BasementBrandon]

nice.

[@MeepMeep88]

Are you worried that maybe the unprotected metal on the jack might.. jack up your floors? Scratch/dent the wood

[@BasementBrandon]

Def a concern I passed along!

[@idiedlastmonth]

Absolutely incredible jack!

[@BasementBrandon]

Have really enjoyed it

[@LowBackPain94]

Its okay tho... Not a lot of people move 1000 lbs.. But yeah that new one looks great!

[@BasementBrandon]

Thanks for taking a look

[@HumanGorillaHormone]

heres another option....which can be easily disassembled for storage/travel. Cost is around $25. although you still run into the same lack of leverage issue as the rogue mini jack. Which you could just have an additional longer leverage bar attachment for when you need it. www.endofthreefitness.com/how-to-build-a-mini-deadlift-jack/

[@BasementBrandon]

Vanilla Gorilla convenience can come at a price, which I’m happy to pay for. There’s also been reports of the home made version you link breaking with more than 600lbs.

[@SteveE293]

3.55 you sound like the grinch lol. Great video and excellent picture quality too 👍

[@BasementBrandon]

Thanks Steve

[@UrbanLegend2k11]

Feliz Navidad to you and your family dawg!

[@BasementBrandon]

right back at ya!

[@markmarco3347]

Do we need 65 jacks to deadlift?

[@BasementBrandon]

we need 65 deadlifts to jack

[@markmarco3347]

Brandon Campbell Diamond thats americanoe lol

[@jdawg1835]

Hey, Brandon, I was wondering if this jack would work with a trap bar, since that is what I am using for deadlifts?

[@BasementBrandon]

As long as there's space, I would think so.

[@phichau90]

I needed this in my life. Any1 know where i can get 1. The link that he provided no longer sell.

[@BasementBrandon]

I just updated the link.

[@x_p_g_x]

Great review.

[@BasementBrandon]

Thanks dude!

[@seventheoutlawspits]

I want one ASAP....and can someone point me to a beginners deadlift routine I want to be deadlifting massive weight by next Jan

[@BasementBrandon]

If you're a beginner you shouldn't be focusing on just one lift IMO!

[@seventheoutlawspits]

Brandon Campbell Diamond so the most weight one time?

[@timvanespen4903]

LoooL awesome stuff again Brandon!! :D "is it.............ADAMANTIUM!?!" :D

[@BasementBrandon]

Thanks Tim!

[@someoneelse9585]

You’re the most humble “KZbinr” 😝

[@BasementBrandon]

Haha I'm as much of a KZbinr as you are.

[@sunfireThu]

Genesis Jack....somehow it reminded me of the Sega Genesis. Btw...that Wolverine though. XD

[@BasementBrandon]

To the Paradise City on a NightTrain! It’s got BLAST processing.

[@sunfireThu]

Not to mention it did what Nintendon't. XD

[@judofry]

I pre-ordered one, also looks handy in case I need to fight off muggers or just to hit random people like children or old people (or kittens playing with string) 😊

[@BasementBrandon]

Hah def could do some damage.

[@lesquidd]

Aluminum, posted on the 23rd? Is this just a festivus pole?

[@BasementBrandon]

now time for the feats of strength

[@Alvsmondares]

I need this jack!.... And also a wolverine costume!

[@BasementBrandon]

lol $20 on ebay

[@joelscb]

did rogue buy them out?

[@BasementBrandon]

No, Rogue sells other products in some instances besides their own.

[@ABRock07]

What about tearing up your platform, Brandon? Is this a problem?

[@BasementBrandon]

If you use a softer wood it may leave some impressions, but it won't tear it up.

[@DaveLotito]

LMFAO this video was priceless dude, great overview man!

[@BasementBrandon]

Thanks Dave!

[@jere_kristian]

I was thinking about pre ordering this thing but once I noticed that the shipping cost to Finland is 60 dollars I decided to pass.

[@siegetank316]

Are you hinting that you are the next Wolverine in the MCU? I dig it.

[@BasementBrandon]

they already did the old logan :(

[@wesleyhovis5101]

Primo man. Merry Christmas

[@BasementBrandon]

same to you and yours.

[@MattFromWork]

Love your reviews Brandon. Thanks for taking the time to mess with new cool gym equipment so we don't have to :-P.

[@BasementBrandon]

Thanks for taking a look!

[@brois841]

@3:42 "I couldn't even get it up" -Brandon

[@BasementBrandon]

u know me

[@brois841]

[@linkindawg]

Appareny Rogue thought it was a great design as well! Love the video nonetheless.

[@BasementBrandon]

appreciate you taking the time.

[@PeakBagger999]

How do you obtain products on pre-order to sample them? Just wondering what the process is. Thanks

[@spicnspan320]

He's listed in their partners and affiliates section, so they probably reached out to him for advice and testing during the R&D phase. Just a guess though.

[@terrydavis3542]

I just ordered mine and my order # is 104. I hope another 96 of you hurry up and order yours!

[@BasementBrandon]

I've known Steve for awhile, he reached out to me and asked if I'd want to review it and give feedback.

[@jefftparker]

Being a YT star.

[@zacharyprice2276]

Omg😂😂😂😂😂 Thank you Brandon that humor made me laugh a little on a shitty day

[@BasementBrandon]

Hope it's going better dude!

[@TunnelVisionAthletic]

Time to start a Comedy channel mate, the futures bright!

[@BasementBrandon]

Thanks Alex.

[@kadams944]

I'm not the first one to say it. I Clicked on the link and was ready to buy, but $20 for shipping...too rich for my blood.

[@BasementBrandon]

I passed that on to them!

[@eriksutterlin3947]

I like the jack but I'm not strong enough for the jack the be necessary

[@BasementBrandon]

lol good motivation!

[@Colingueisen]

but why is it so espensive? seems to easy to even DIY

[@BasementBrandon]

It's easy to laser cut aluminum?

[@willwyatt7023]

If you value your time at Zero, then it's better to DIY. I have the plan/pattern to make a wooden version, but, several hours in, it won't be worth it.

[@phillyskater101]

Low top Reebok power shoes ?

[@BasementBrandon]

Yeah, no longer make them though.

[@ECUpunk]

Lol I was not expecting Wolverine

[@BasementBrandon]

Neither was I, glad he could stop by.

[@BANHMIZON]

Is this video gonna double as an audition tape to become the new Wolverine?

[@BasementBrandon]

They already did an old logan movie, i'm out of luck.

[@josephscalia1251]

What is the shirt your wearing?

[@BasementBrandon]

a 3/4 sleeve shirt from Super Training

[@oliverjamesspicer]

Great video. Also at least you can take comfort in the fact that you're not the first fully grown adult living out his fantasies in a basement wearing a superhero costume...

[@BasementBrandon]

pics or it didn't happen.

[@jxlee91]

" Is it......ADAMANTIUM?!?!?!?!" Never change Brandon, never change.

[@BasementBrandon]

:)

[@DavidBuckley79]

That looks badass

[@BasementBrandon]

Works really well!

[@jeremychen9282]

Yoooooo you HAVE TO make more content like this 😂

[@BasementBrandon]

Lol we'll see.

[@bpt2g2o90]

where's the x3 rack?

[@BasementBrandon]

dismantled in the corner.

[@bpt2g2o90]

you got a plan for that baby yet?

[@BasementBrandon]

Jim Krajick friend is coming to get it and the yoke in a week or two.

[@muhammadsaad9394]

Hahahaha! This was epic! Also you’re the best reviews of stuffzzzz dood

[@BasementBrandon]

Appreciated!

[@pntbllwlly]

How does this video have any dislikes?!

[@BasementBrandon]

magneto does not approve

[@InkedGhost27]

Paused the video right after the wolverine part to like the video and to ask... did you buy the costume just for that joke????

[@InkedGhost27]

Had to pause again.... 2 wolverine jokes. You got me man. I will never unfollow this channel because of this video.

[@InkedGhost27]

Wolverine masturbation joke..... well played!

[@BasementBrandon]

You mean you don't have a spare wolverine costume laying around??

[@HackMasterBlaster]

I didn't know you were friends with Hugh jackman

[@BasementBrandon]

Friend of the channel

[@GilletteGaming]

TFW when you're triggered by the knurling of the bar not being centered in the opening shot. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@BasementBrandon]

GilletteGaming lol it’s centered, I’m just a bit off!

[@JR-ft3uo]

I'd like it if it lifted the whole bar off the ground.

[@BasementBrandon]

I think they plan on eventually doing a full size version

[@sen795]

could have made this under 2:00

[@BasementBrandon]

Just b/c you can, doesn't mean you should :)
