Just had my first leg day with this piece. Worked great, thanks!

[@thehomegymlifeproject1246]

Nice! I like it a lot. My only complaint is that I wish the pads were a little thicker but I am happy with it. I do see myself replacing those pads in the future at some point.

[@getsome9102]

Set it in decline so your hamstring are pre stretched to get full contraction

[@markmentzer2603]

Im going to try this and simply drill a hole for a bolt and washer in my rubber mat and attach using the bolt through the front of the base.

[@ggram0551]

Finally have to thank the algorithm. Literally in the same boat. This is a game changer for me. Greatly appreciate you putting the video out.

[@dho11]

What product is this? How do I find it? WTF?

[@carps_gym]

I don’t know if you were listening, but I just did over 100 😂

[@thehomegymlifeproject1246]

lol

[@hk_1811]

Incredible video, thanks for this man. Lifesaver

[@donnahuggles4337]

So where do i buy this?

[@kevinsatzinger2648]

Any thoughts on connecting it into a (DIY) cable system to get more uniform resistance?

[@thehomegymlifeproject1246]

I am going to test it out in the new year to see if it can work

[@danielroy9452]

Keep us posted on that please

[@jamestonbellajo]

It can easily be done. I wish I could send you a video of how someone did it with the Ironmaster attachment. It’s a bit hard to search for so sending it would just be easier. I set it up a little differently for a friend but got it to work well with him and his cable system.

[@christiandaugherty6339]

Very jealous of you Americans being able to get this. In UK with delivery and import taxes it would add to much for me to justify the cost, but I'd love something like this to be available over here. Great video 👍

[@sandybb36]

Just got this today! Have to put together, can't wait to try! Thanks so much! Would like to see use with cable machine: I have ftx functional trainer : )

[@time.4174]

Hey man I’ve been looking for something like this for awhile. Thanks for making this video. Question-do you think you could do sitting calf raises with this setup?

[@thehomegymlifeproject1246]

You could but you would need some type of kickstand to hold the weights at the top so that you could get into position. Im not sure its a good solution for that. The SSB has been my goto for both standing and sitting calf raises

[@time.4174]

Thanks man. You do sitting calf raises with a safety squat bar? That’s interesting.

[@thehomegymlifeproject1246]

Here's a good pic of it: exrx.net/WeightExercises/Soleus/SBSeatedCalfRaise

[@time.4174]

Another question man…do you find it easy to do one leg curls at a time? Is it still stable that way?

[@thehomegymlifeproject1246]

@@time.4174 havent tried to do singles but id imagine you need to make sure you use the board method to stabilize it

[@johnk.2167]

You ever try standing single leg curls with this?

[@jhonatanalejandroabellodia9024]

Hi guys! Do you know if it will work with Rep Ab 5200 2.0????

[@MML96769]

Nice video! I was curious if you could share the dimensions of the post that slides into the adapter. I'm trying to see if my bench which accepts 1 3/4" x 1 3/4" posts will work with this attachment without the adapter, though I can get that part too if need be.

[@squirts1]

If you wanted to make it more stable... it would be easier, and better... to just use sheet metal screws to attach a large flat base to the bottom of the thing... like plywood or steel.

[@factionjaxon4119]

That's exactly what I was thinking as I watched. Widen the base a little and it would stabilize.

[@thehomegymlifeproject1246]

yeah its super easy to stabilize if you want to. Just a piece of wood and some screws. Very easy DIY project.

[@thebeardedgorilla8596]

Can you do these unilaterally, or will it twist to the side?

[@thehomegymlifeproject1246]

You would need to attach it to a piece of wood or it would twist.

[@russellborrego1689]

This was very helpful, though the buzzsaw attachment is currently sold out. Ill keep checking for sure! Thank you!

[@thadudedk]

How about the Hero attachment, they look kind of identical? I'm using it for a Rogue bench, but I'm not quite sure if there's any difference between the hero and the buzzsaw?

[@russellborrego1689]

@@thadudedk thanks, I was thinking about just giving the Hero attachment a shot. It looks less robust, but I can't imagine there could be a major difference in what can be expected from performance.

[@dustingoto1117]

Do you have link for instructions for adding wood to make more stable?

[@thehomegymlifeproject1246]

I dont have instructions but its a very simple and cheap DIY project.

[@jtovar7543]

Are u sure that this can work with any kind of bench ? On the website it says it only works with they brand benches

[@thehomegymlifeproject1246]

Yes. you dont actually attach it to the bench. Easy mod to make it stable too.

[@jhonatanalejandroabellodia9024]

Do you know if will work with REP AB 5200 2.0?

[@rpclance]

What bells of steel part is that? The website lists the extension and adapter. Kid of confusing.

[@thehomegymlifeproject1246]

Leg extension/curl attachment and the buzzsaw adapter

[@obeygiant..]

@@thehomegymlifeproject1246they only sell it with the hero adapter now - think it would make a difference?

[@AmericanRetrievers]

By chance do you know the model of the rep bench of the guy in the FB group? Some of Rep’s bench’s have handles so it won’t fit on that end. I went to their website and can’t find the exact bench lol. TIA

[@thehomegymlifeproject1246]

I dont know which bench but it shouldnt matter. Just screw a piece of wood to the attachment and lay the bench feet on it - makes it very stable for any bench. Without that wood piece its usable but has some instability. I am still using it stand alone for both curls and extensions with bands but can see that I may need to add the wood piece in the future

[@AmericanRetrievers]

@@thehomegymlifeproject1246 thank you! I will probably be doing that. One thing I liked about that picture from the FB group was how he actually bolted the leg extension to the bench.

awesome.

Do they have a preacher curl attachment you can do with this too?

[@thehomegymlifeproject1246]

I dont believe so

[@bradcondran8896]

They recently released a preacher curl attachment for their benches, not sure if it can work separate like this or not, but would use the same adapter as this so probably

[@thehomegymlifeproject1246]

Yep you are right and it would 100% fit this attachment.
