REP Fitness’ Best Rack Attachment…

[@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.

[@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

[@stellarsaleen]

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

[@KyleDotson_VFL]

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.

[@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

[@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?

[@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).

[@Jingyih]

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

[@calderonmike]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@DregGayton777]

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

[@GoostavaRS]

God review! I want one now!

[@porkrindrob]

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

[@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.

[@TheCarterHomeGym]

Well done review Coop 👌

[@Svnchx]

When is the Rogue functional trainer review coming? I’ve seen a few people already have it and still no reviews besides glucks

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@ColinKing]

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

[@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

[@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!! :(

[@fuscinha10]

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

[@ianlynch6345]

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

[@randerodr7389]

Handles attached to a chain would fix the problem. Easily adjustable as needed

[@Belivo]

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

[@bbuchner]

Rep says PR-4000 series coming soon

[@tywedekind2807]

God damnit, my bank account was just recovering

[@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.

[@Tondre55]

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

[@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.

[@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…

[@AmirDahdal]

Get a hold of the Vander M14+ and review that. Llero fitness owns it.

[@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

[@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.

[@Markus-fw4px]

Can you do farmers walk with it?

[@HoormazdKia]

Should buy two if you’re planning to do farmers walks

[@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.

[@michaelstewart9366]

What’s up with the delayed adjustable dumbbells?

[@DevinPennington-z3n]

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

[@ArmedBatman]

Still waiting on the pr4000 version

[@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.

[@joecowan3719]

We need Sam to test the weight capacity.

[@christophermitzel746]

How well would this work with the ARES 2.0 on the 5000 series?

[@noonce]

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

[@SeanFarrell1]

You can buy a Lat Pulldown attachment from REP for $449 or a seat for $400... lol

[@javipiglifts]

This is the product that made me fall out of love with rep. Instead of building upon their eco system, they became like apple. If you want to use this with ares 1.0 u gotta be willing to sell ur ares n upgrade to the 2.0. Im sorry im not selling n buying just to be ab.e to use ur attachments. Btw they did this after just 1 year of releasing the ares. Ill buy rogue / prime from now on.

[@javipiglifts]

Example- rogue dropped the functional trainer. Everyone who has a rogue rhino can contact rogue n upgrade to the FT using their rhino and save money.

[@Noahbdh]

I dont think theres enough space on the seat adjustor to put any numbers on it.

[@CTF10]

They need to make this into a chair with wheels, so it can be used in a fitness trainer.

[@melodyalvarez1378]

[@StonedRambo01]

If it was made in the US I could understand the price (still pricey) but it's not sooooo no thx.

[@arcadepiano]

can you handstand like children do against the wall? or you just build muscle without agility nor elasticity? how do you actually dance?

[@SteveK6578]

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.

[@robjones2655]

300 lbs isn't enough, unfortunately

[@n00dle_king]

IMO full range of motion on stuff like seal rows is overrated. Just use a barbell and use the limits of the seat as a reason to lengthen bias your rows.

[@reconstructionwouldhavesav9472]

Spoken like a true noob.

[@wendell3610]

One of the benefits of seal rows is the lengthened bias though
