Unitree Pump Review "Gym In Your Pocket" Is it The Worth Cost

[@msflaneuse4340]

I’ve been watching your channel for years and just wanted to thank you for all the content! 👍

[@hybridresistance]

Thank you so much. Means a lot that you took the time out to say that.

[@terrywarchief5647]

I agree you gave it a honest review, you mentioned the flaws and the unknown reliability. No way I would buy that when I can throw 3 or 4 resistance bands into my bag. You got it for free ;)

[@GGhostStudios]

I’ll stick to my fit, I love it. my power blocks that I recently bought, and my bands. This thing doesn’t look like it will Hold up. Appreciate the honesty in the review.

[@user-cp2qw2ek5e]

I ordered two that arrived a couple of days ago. After two workouts I’m actually impressed. Theres six training modes i think, and some settings/modes make the resistance feel more imho. I like em that much I might buy another two …… much better than my maxpro actually. Makes me realise that the concentric only on the maxpro really does make it an inferior product

Well, that company already made its money back for sending you a demo, your video made me buy one this afternoon!

[@hybridresistance]

Great to hear, thank you for watching and trusting the review.

[@davidrafkind8278]

Really interesting device. Never seen it before. You gave it a fair review. I love some of the shoulder work you can do with it. Doing a lot of those exercises at PT right now. If I had the extra cash I would consider it. Thanks for sharing

[@josefdeigner1045]

Appreciate you doing such honest reviews..I will stick with my resistance bands and a few dumbells for my travel exercise kit..No App...No batterys..no over heating😀

[@hybridresistance]

I had some great band workouts over the weekend, that I intend to share in the future. Thanks for watching.

[@kingspina1781]

You bring dumbbells to travel?

[@Samuellwright]

Great review! Never heard of this product. Unfortunately, it's a little to on the expensive side for me. Definitely worth wild for someone who's always traveling and has the extra cash 💸 to dish out though.

[@hybridresistance]

It's a luxury item for sure. For anyone that travels for work (and can afford it), I'd recommend it.

[@Nad1922]

Bonjour,merci pour la vidéo,vous pouvez tester l'isokinator? Merci

[@Tiger1016.]

Does the resistance feel as good as the Speediance? I already have a gym monster, but I am thinking about also getting the new Pump Max for supersets, additional weight for things like deadlifts, higher setup for pulldowns, wider setups for flys, etc. But i wonder the resistance might not feel as good.

[@hybridresistance]

It's feels pretty good, but the battery life and having to use an app is what killed this thing for me. I actually have another product that I still have to review that is very similar that's pretty cool.

[@Tiger1016.]

@@hybridresistance Interesting. What is the other product? The Unitree Pump Max that is ~1 month away from delivery seems to fix all of the complaints with their previous models. It also seems like the only semi portable option that I am aware of that can be moved off the floor, with a wireless remote start and stop, and have the two units be controlled and synced with each other (this last part is a feature they have just added according to their commentary on Kickstarter). And although, I would be better off with 400lbs, I could make 300lbs work by continuing to use the Pump Strength Lifting Hooks and dumbbells work for adding extra weight for things like deadlifts. The Maiak Go caught my attention because I don't really need the battery. But it seems it will lack a wireless remote, which is what drove to Speediance as I think they have the best solution for this so far.

[@kriswempa5171]

It's cool that we're seeing more and more of these devices come up. They seem to all have some issues. For example, The Max Pro looks cool, but it only has concentric tension. The Unitree Pump Kickstarter site makes this claim: A fully charged PUMP will take you through a week worth of full workouts. At 100% battery, the PUMP can last 1,000 reps at 22lbs (10kg) or 500 reps at 44lbs (20kg). That’s enough to keep you going all week, with efficient charging to get you back to capacity in no time. Your test did not seem to support this claim.

[@hybridresistance]

Yes, the battery is not good for practical use. But I will say I'm still having fun with it and actually using it as superset with my Total Gym.

[@Kid9139490]

Wondering if there is an update on this product

[@hybridresistance]

I honestly stopped using it because from time to time I have to update my password which I forgot and have to use the app in order to operate.

[@kendralane5951]

Thanks for the review! Update your Amazon link :) that listing is sold out but there are other listings available.

[@hybridresistance]

I think they rebranding and making a new product

[@kendralane5951]

@@hybridresistance I looked at their actual website and they didn’t offer shipping to where I lived so I found it on Amazon. I got it about a week ago and am loving it so far! Highly recommend!

[@galenyeo46]

Thanks for the review. How long did you workout before it started overheating?

[@hybridresistance]

It honestly doesn't take long if you're pushing heavy weight with it for reps for what I remember. You could also if you wanted drain the battery in one workout.

[@ParkerBinion]

Couldn't you increase the Pump's resistance from 44 pounds by simply attaching it to a Mutt Bar (which come in 11, 22, 33, 44, 55 and 66 pound sizes). This would also allow you to do all sorts of two-handed exercises with the "Mutt Pump" as it were...

[@chimenthao3047]

How long is the cable?

[@slaes]

Hi, Can you select one load for the concentric contraction and another load for the excentric contraction ? I am looking for equipment that would allow me to put double the weight on the eccentric phase of the movement compared to the concentric phase during each repetition.

[@hybridresistance]

No unfortunately you can't do that.

[@mreverybody1150]

The closest to what you asked would be the Synapse CCR.

[@slaes]

@@mreverybody1150 Thanks ! I didn't know this tool. I already have some sailling pulleys, so I can make one myself. Otherwise, the Unitree pump can overload the eccentric phase. I bought 2 of them. You can make the concentric phase being reduce by a pourcentage compared to the eccentric phase. If you select the maximum reduction (50%) and the maximum load (20kgs), you will have 10kgs on the concentric and 20kgs on the eccentric. You can select the reduction between 1 and 50%, and the load between 5 to 20kgs. Personaly, I always work on eccentric 20%. The sensations are insane ! You can thus work equally qualitatively the two muscle actions ! It's a very cool device ! Worth it price.

[@Joe.T888]

Mike I purchased one of these after I saw your review. Now there is a knock off available called Harayaa Home Fitness Equipment Pocket Resistance Machine. It is around a third the price. Wondering if you knew about these and any thoughts on them. Thanks!

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks Joe. No I was not, I'll check them out!

[@Joe.T888]

Thanks again, Mike! As always, look forward to more product reviews!

[@GoceKostadinoski-ny7wm]

do in negative reps have tension?

[@hybridresistance]

@@GoceKostadinoski-ny7wm yes they do

[@surfinjim]

No interchangeable batteries like on wireless power tools?

[@hybridresistance]

No unfortunately not;

[@dodger1x]

44punds is still to little. 120LBS pr unit should be a minimum . But I guss one could combine it with rubber bands to get best of both worlds?

[@dodger1x]

I would like to see someone make one that combined a motor together with the twist resistance tech used by OYO (Nasa SpiralFlex) and Ancore, Then the motor would give you a smart variable resistance of 20kg. While the Spiral Flex gives you the heavy analog start weight.

[@karimtaj2]

Can we get un update ? Are u still using it ? Did it break ?

[@hybridresistance]

I haven't used in the last couple months. It still works, I just fell out of using it for habit. I would use it MUCH more if it wasn't controlled through the app for resistance.

[@chunwong1807]

Hey Mike, would you consider to do a comparison between x3 bar and Pump?

[@hybridresistance]

I'll just say that the x3 bar is better. This thing is cool but not as versatile and not sure how long it would last given the battery.

[@ELDogStar]

My ex got those recently. A pair, you can double up the resistance or do exercises bilaterally. Kind of interesting, resistance is pretty good. Long term, probably not too worth it. If you've got money to burn, maybe. But I doubt they will hold up long term.

[@hybridresistance]

Biggest thing for me is the reliability. If this thing can hold up what I'm about to put it through, it's worth it for what it does and what it feels like.

[@LarryRichelli]

I sure wish you could have put a meter on it to see what the weight actually is when it says 44 lbs. I watched another video where it was like less than 35 lbs when it said 44 lbs.. Since they gave it to you it would be nice if you could test that. I guess I could order it and check this and then send it back because cuz no one testing this will do this test.

[@hybridresistance]

I don't really have that capability, but I can tell it certainly feels like the weight is accurate.

[@fredvos4015]

interesting tech. This will be perfected in time I think.

[@michaelcortez8470]

Might i suggest a terra core.

[@hybridresistance]

I'll check it out.

[@thetwikikid4444]

Traveling soon, think I’ll stick to the bands. I’d like to have cash left over to do stuff like eat as that device is on the pricey side😂

[@PaulHo]

Unrelated, but I love this outfit.

[@mikeervin7654]

I know it's expensive but the bullworker bow and steel bow are worth a review from you

[@hybridresistance]

I keep saying I'm going to look into it, I got to. It's just something that doesn't jump out and interest me.

[@tonymediati8274]

Seems like a great idea except for the fact once the battery goes tits up you have an expensive paperweight.

[@hybridresistance]

Very true.

[@MidwestPyro55]

Interesting product. The price point is probably too high for most people. I'd probably take a quality suspension trainer like pocket monkii on the road instead of this unitree.

[@baylor3894]

Is it still holding up for you

[@hybridresistance]

I honestly haven't used it much. I started too many toys for my own good. One downside for practical use is only having one unit and having to use the app. I wish you could just adjust settings on the unit. With that said, thanks for the comment, because you're making me want to break it out.

[@Tomasquo]

Reminds me a bit of the pricier and noisier Handy Gym, which by contrast does not require charging.

Never heard of those, they look cool.

No offense taken brother. I'd probably say the something if I didn't try it, but I will say the resistance and what that little box does is pretty amazing given the size and weight. I'm honestly thinking as technology develops these could give dumbbells a run for their money.

@@LarryRichelli which is better, synapse ccr, handy gym, or max pro?

[@LarryRichelli]

@@Beast_Mode_Jones I sold my max pro because there is no eccentric action. I don't care for the synapse because one can only workout one side at a time. I bought the handy gym and I do like it. I already had a bunch of kettle bells so I use both to get great workouts. I might be interested in the Unitree pump if they could make it have more weight and the price is crazy.
