REP Fitness’ Best Rack Attachment…

[@lnt3ch]

I want to see REP come up with a Leg curl/leg extension solution for their PR-4000 and PR-5000 with Ares.

[@jeremymercer665]

Yes! I would buy this in an instant

[@gregnichols663]

Absolutely. I assumed we would have seen that by now

[@Notsostrongman375]

I have the BodySolid GLEG and it’s works really well with the functional trainer part of the Ares

[@lnt3ch]

@@Notsostrongman375 ​​⁠that’s good to know, it seems to be the best solution. Do you use the low row connection point with it? Any gripes?

[@gregnichols663]

[@anca1ag0n37]

A gap or something that would let the cable through would open up more versatility and make it 10/10 perfect. Amazing piece of equipment regardless! Big dubs to REP.

[@desaryll2044]

Yes, my rack has cables running down the center-front of the upright if the trolley is all the way at the bottom. Things like seal rows would be impossible if the cable can't pass through.

[@stellarsaleen]

Solution to the limited ROM during chest supported rows…. Darko longy bar with D handles.

To turn the pads into nordic curls sold it for me!

[@Gimmithat491]

Looks a little narrow, might as well use your flat bench with a band instead.

[@macalderon81]

Love my Pegasus! Got it for my Rogue RM4, and fits without any issues. The detachable leg rollers to use as a stand alone piece is a very nice feature. The Pegasus will come in handy even more as I convert my power rack to the new twin stack cable system for lat pull downs and for some leg workouts

[@JonHanner-un7ef]

Generally been impressed with all the new releases from REP. Another solid one for all of us home gym fans!

[@emmanuelvasquez5621]

Trying to figured out what set up I want in my new garage gym. Most likely going with wall mounted fixed athena due to most versatility for price and space. Rep fitness is the move for equipment

[@XMegaJuni]

When will the review of the Ares 2.0 be? I heard it was going through quality issues and thus they are double checking. Great consistency from REP. Better take longer and right.

[@joebower1417]

This gives me an idea to finally use the eyehole for my rep multi grip camber bar. Seal rows on the Athena upright with this seat

[@porkrindrob]

This is really slick. Make it in 5/8” holes and I’ll buy

[@YunisRajab]

With so many cambered handle options the limited range is hardly a criticism. This looks like a no brainer if it fits within your setup. Putting this in my ever growing wishlist

[@curt248]

What are the players for options? What’s the price range?

[@grantliu9185]

Need a way to center this within a rack for use with their lat pulldown/low row attachment. should be possible to mount something on the rear stabilizer for this. cmon Rep make it happen!

[@Tondre55]

Hey Coop, which app do you use? Love your content!

[@GoostavaRS]

God review! I want one now!

[@Jingyih]

Love to see Rep innovating. This looks nice. I still prefer a bulldog pad and a separate thigh pad for simplicity.

[@TheXILLR]

All new prime single stacks have holes on the side. I wish yours had holes on the side because I want to see if the Pegasus would work on the prime single stack. Thanks for the great review!

[@fwiffo42]

My biggest complaint with this as a seal row pad is your face ends up right next to the upright. That’s why I like the Thresher so much, you have a good healthy distance from the upright which means you can also use it facing away from the rack like a Pritchett Pad (minus being offset for the landmine).

[@stellathecat2457]

Great review as always! Waiting for the full review of the REPPIN 👀

[@WAWA24ZAZA]

Are you going to do a hands on review of the new rogue functional trainer? Would really like to see more info on it especially the half rack version. Please please please

[@sirlost94]

I think we’re going to see a lot of rogue squat racks for sale soon as everyone will be buying their functional trainers lol

[@eszlsk]

I absolutely love mine on pull days.

[@carlosshaw6648]

Coop! Have you tried the The Infinity Arm 2.0 by Exponent Edge? Seems like a great product.

[@sscarbon]

I pre-ordered this so you know I was excited about it but since receiving it, I haven't found much use for it so it mostly collects dust. Its does not even serve me as a seat for the lat pull downs. For most of the exercises mentioned like curls, flys, chest supported rows etc. it's just easier, simpler, and faster to use the bench that I'm already working out on. For context, I have the Rep PR 5000 with the cable attachment and the additional weights. The selectorize weights for a single stack on the Rep cable attachment only go up to ~155lbs, I can pull down over 200lbs for reps so I require the double stack which you can't use if you use the Pegasus Seat. It's ok for dumbbell rows, but isn't the best for barbell rows like Coop pointed out.....even when doing dumbbell rows its faster and easier to use my Rep fitness bench. I can't think about a single use case where I'd recommend its purchase to a home gym user, especially at that price.

[@lowrights33]

Hey give a GymPin a shot with a single stack and the seat will come in handy. You can keep the other stack free for supersetting, etc.

[@johnwolfjr2287]

Coop I have the VOLTRA and a rogue monster lite? This fit? If so how’s the angle with the voltra on a pulldown

[@nathanrobinson3302]

Still waiting for Coop’s review of Rogue’s new functional trainers. It’s mind blowing to me that customers have already been receiving these functional trainers for well over a month now and only one single review (thanks Gluck’s Gym) exists on KZbin so far! This was one of the biggest equipment releases of the year by one of if not the biggest home gym equipment supplier and no one is reviewing this equipment. Why?

[@andersonhirt]

I don't think rogue has a kickback program like rep does and they don't send out review samples. Plus you kind of know what you're getting with rogue most of the time

[@mistahozzy]

Have you seen how much that costs lol

[@DJCCustomWoodworks]

@@andersonhirt that makes sense... If you have to pay for the unit to do a review, that takes the guys who actually are invested in reviews. I love Glucks channel for willing to pay his own money

[@tonya7699]

They also have an affiliate / kickback program. It’s on the bottom of their site. FYI. Their cable slinger thing was bad but the Ares 2.0 vs FM will be fun to see! Great for consumers to have competition and choices.

[@DregGayton777]

Unfortunately won't work with Athena if pulleys are in lower position under seat.

[@JJ-to6qu]

I need a seat for between my spotter arms for my DIY plate loaded pulley system. Right now it’s just my bench which has limitations

[@TheCarterHomeGym]

Well done review Coop 👌

[@Jjurek4911]

I would like to see a version of this that works with the cable attachment for the PR-5000 rack so that it can be centered.

[@zacharylaschober]

10:52 this would only be not getting a full contraction, not limiting the stretch portion, and there are plenty of cable attachments such as hammer curl or open row style. Is there a way to attach the leg rollers not to each other, to have one on either side of a rack rather than around the same upright? doesn't look it, but has some versatility.

[@desaryll2044]

Can you leave the seat loose? As in free-swinging as opposed to always setting the pin? I ask so you can use it as back support for hip thrusts.

[@rubenrobles7275]

nice piece, but the ares 5000 has the cable running outside of the square tubes, so low rows cant be done with that rack, since the attachment will interfere with the cable. They didnt think about that!! :(

[@ak_777-d5k]

What app do you use to track your workouts?

[@sahebassist]

Any idea when the 5/8 version is coming? Also, what do you think about using this with a dialed motion set up like the sidewinder? Seems like it might be similar to using the voltra, as mentioned in the video.

[@ianlynch6345]

I would love to have but Im stuck with PRX due to my limited space.

[@ryanniec6396]

Hey Coop, would you recommend using this on your FreeMotion cable machine or is it too big for that?

[@johnhersh8654]

The cambered attachment isn’t super necessary, because the stretch is at the start of a row. Otherwise why not use a cambered bar for lat pulldowns too?

[@rodfisher4371]

Please review ETE ( Extreme Training Equipment ). Please start with their Lat pulldown machine.

[@fuscinha10]

Just use your angles 90 or Kensui handles and attach them to the straight bar attachment, Coop. Boom! you now have a camber

[@lawrence09151]

Need one for fitness reality cage. No side holes on the uprights.

[@ckPinson-n4j]

does the prx axis thing achieve similar things? bells of steel? i'm still not certain why you can't just use an ad bench and rollers for most things this "does"

[@killerkhatiby009]

I had the same thoughts, but I was told one thing this can help with is if your rack has front extension feet you can't bring a bench right up against the upright easily so you can't really use your bench as a seat for pulldowns with just a lower cost leg holder attachment on the upright, so in that case an attachment like this can make pulldowns possible. But I am still trying to figure out how an adjustable bench can't already do the other things like chest supported rows and presses, especially given the only 300lb weight capacity. It seems a bit overpriced for mainly just allowing you to have a pulldown seat but there could be some other advantages to using an attachment like this instead of your bench for those exercises that I'm just not aware of.

[@ckPinson-n4j]

i'm looking to have as few pieces as possible so i'll actually use them all. this is why i ordered the dialed motion. use their method for lat and belt so that i can use mostly what i have already and not have to deal with carrying a heavy accessory around mounting and adjusting. i could literally use my entire 3 car garage as i have another but i just don't see the point in doing that. i'm not competing and im not training others so im looking to keep it minimal but full service. to each their own i just see this the same as i see lever arms-fun in theory but either in the way or unweildly

[@ColinKing]

Coop, your Dr. Mike is showing. Camber bar, incline curls, mesocycles…

[@DevinPennington-z3n]

Will this be compatible with the Ares 2.0 cables being outside the post rather than in like with the post?

[@codekeeper32]

I hate that there are 1” and 5/8” holes. I went with 5/8 because everything is cheaper and I don’t see any benefit to 1” holes. It just stinks that sometimes you can’t get the attachment you want because it’s for a different hole size.

[@douglowry7382]

You just said there is no benefit to 1" holes then listed the very reason I went with 1" holes. Every company makes more accessories for the 1" version. So yes there is a benefit you should've thought about before buying 5/8"

[@AgoncilloJ]

Can this be used on the Arcadia

[@unknown_truckers]

Really surprised you didn't demonstrate single Leg Extensions, or single leg Curls

[@ScottO84]

Rep is really thinking some of these designs through, using them, and refining things until they're truly great. I also don't mind the weight of something like this given its usage and versatility. In terms of price, given the fact that Sorinex wants $369 for a basic piece (albeit well made), I'll spend another $30 to get something like this that's leagues ahead with respect to features. In my mind, this one is a value compared to those.

[@marckspal]

Anyone know any low row attachment (not just hack with a bench), so you can do proper seated low rows, instead of sitting on the floor, or in an awkward position with a bench?

[@trashpanda875]

How does this work with the Ares 2.0?

[@aveneyer]

I want it just for the removable rollers that screw together in the post. Seriously, sell that as a standalone, and I'd buy it. Are there any other dual-side single-post rollers? Leg Hold Down Attachments always stick out too far.

[@johnathanbeicher536]

The “full rom” argument kinda doesn’t matter. The stretched/extended portion of the movement is the most hypertrophic. The top of the movement isn’t that critical in the seal row.

[@YunisRajab]

Technically correct but the peak contraction just feels so good. That being said there are many cambered handles out there to fix this

[@bruuhhhh]

Definitely disagree purely from an enjoyment perspective, but also not everyone is training for hypertrophy and full rom can be better for other adaptations

[@codyk5595]

Is rep ever coming out with calibrated steel KG plates? I feel like I see them in videos at expos all the time last 2 years…

[@noonce]

Will this work with a 6 post pr5000 and lat pulldown?

[@hunterceroy]

I have the Athena - so is this essentially useless because there’s two cables and the Pegasus can only be on one side?

[@lowrights33]

Add a GymPin to one side and you are in business. Then you can use the two sides independently.

[@Belivo]

If that would fit on 3x3 5/8 holes, I would insta buy it.

[@killerkhatiby009]

Coop, I'm genuinely a little confused as to the usefulness of this thing, couldn't you do almost all of these features/exercises just as well with an adjustable bench and a cheap leg holder attachment off AMZN for pulldowns for like $75? Just slide your bench up close to your rack/cable system and you can incline for chest support, pressing, curls, etc..., and flat for a seat + leg holder w/pulldowns. Is there something that the Pegasus does so much better that it's worth the $400 if you've already got a good bench and leg roller attachment?

[@polycultural-capital-enjoyer]

Using your bench as a seat for pulldowns is impossible if you have front legs on your rack. It's also a lot more adjustable than any bench. But this would only make sense if you need a seat + leg holder, an adjustable row pad, and leg rollers. All 3 of these combined will run you about 350-400 USD.

[@killerkhatiby009]

@@polycultural-capital-enjoyer Ahh totally makes sense for racks with front stabilizing feet that aren't flat on the ground, can see how that would make it hard to pull up a bench to use as a seat with a leg holder attachment, good point!! My rack has flat feet that don't stick out much further than the front pulley does so I can do pulldowns with my bench as the seat and a cheap leg holder attachment on the upright without any issue. If I really need to, I can easily put a thick plate on each side of the rack foot to raise my bench feet on and give enough clearance to bring the bench pad right up against the upright too. But what are the advantages of a rack mounted row pad vs just inclining your bench to do some chest supported rows (and/or curls/presses like coop showed)? Especially with only a 300lb weight capacity! Seems like it accomplishes a very similar purpose unless it's something like a Pritchett Pad to offset you sightly from the upright for a t-bar row with a landmine.

[@jlgg9816]

@@killerkhatiby009 Can’t you just rotate your bench 90 degrees to avoid its feet overlapping with the rack foot? That is, sit in the middle of the bench facing one side and place that close to the rack upright for lat pull down. The bench feet are far out to your left and right and the rack foot is directly underneath you.

[@killerkhatiby009]

@@jlgg9816 Ooh good point, that could definitely work with some benches and racks!! Though there are benches where the design of the frame could mean sitting right on the gap between the back and seat pads since that's the point on the frame that has the highest clearance off the ground, so it may not be ideal. Really just depends on how the bench frame and pads are designed I guess, but definitely could work for a lot of people and I think most benches should have enough clearance without needing to sit on the gap. Unfortunately, for my setup I actually need to decline the back pad to allow me to achieve full ROM since I'm a little tall and my rack is a bit too short for me when sitting on top of the bench when it's flat, so turning the bench sideways doesn't work for me either since I need to sit on the lowered head closer to the ground.

[@DrDeusExMachina]

Not sure you understand physics. A 200 lb lifter supported on the pad does not weight 200 lbs from the perspective of the attachment. Further more, a 100 lb weight on the distal extremity of the lifter likewise does not have a 1:1 correlation of increase in the load which the pad experiences…

[@iliketoreplytovids]

for the price you can literally just buy a decent standalone plate loaded lat pull down machine and a cheaper row bench..

[@SteveKelly1]

If only it could somehow, magically, be used as a lat pull down seat for racks that have a back center pull point.. thinking Ares and Rogue's offerings, for example. Sure, you could always just use it off one of the front uprights and use the pulley/2:1 ratio, but that's less than ideal. I have no practical suggestion on how to do that, since you'd need an upright awkwardly in your way, but I think many of us have lat pull downs that are based out of the back center of the rack and this doesn't quite hit that mark.

[@Noahbdh]

Btw they did this after just 1 year of releasing the ares. Ill buy rogue / prime from now on.

Yes but also thats what happens when you are first to market with a revolutionary product like the ares. They made mistakes on gen 1 and fixed them properly instead of bandaid fixes to the gen 1. Thats why you should never buy gen 1 of anything, the car market proves this time after time.
