475 bux LOL. That's an IQ test. No way jose.

I requested a bar similar to this in February of 2021 from Black Widow ... just looked up the email. I took their image of their Black Widow Multi-Grip Press Bar, opened it in the MS paint program, rotated the image to make the bar horizontal, and then moved the center bar as far as I could to the top of the bar. I emailed it to them and and asked if they could make it and Justin from The Black Widow Team said, "I wouldn't trust making that bar that way. With the offset and the heat from welding it would pull the handles down a little bit and look pretty sh***. Going to have to pass on that one." I responded back and asked, "I am looking for a bar that I can do overhead presses with that allows space for the head/face without leaning back or craning the neck back? Do you know of anything like that? As far as I know, it doesn't exist." They just said, "The only things we make right now that would help are the hex bar or cambered row bar." I wonder if my request gave them the inspiration... Maybe. Maybe not.

Rogue only has a 3 year warranty. That's not real trust in their durability

You are incredible for doing this! Thank you!! Im saving this incase I run into people in need later.

Could you theoretically not bolt to the ground the flywheel without the platform and just put several 45 pound plates on top of so it won’t move? That way it remains portable.

How do you do the bench pressing exercises on this?

Did you give the footplate a try? I’m on the hunt for something that would help me mimic leg press better. So far I’ve got lever arms with an adjustable pull bar connecting them. Wondering if these footplates could be another piece

How much does a basketball hoop upright thing add to the price? 😂 Great video. I wish I could try one, maybe there will be a chance at HGC next year!

Any thoughts on wall storage for the Echo GHD when not in use? I'm searching for ideas. Thanks!

Nice lift

Kurt appreciate your channel and advice. I want a bit more variety in my programs so was considering getting the Crandall lever arms. I'd like hammer strength type exercises for variety for chest and shoulders mostly but might row with it as well. Curious how the flywheels are for chest or shoulders? Which exercises do you do with them the most? Do you ever use them after say a bench chest workout to totally exhaust muscles? Most of us have never used them have no idea how they feel so the harder you pull the harder eccentric feels? The point is to resist that on way down? Is it 1 to 1 ie if I push 125lbs with one arm does it feel like 125lbs on way down or can it be set to more as we're stronger on that portion. I think I might be interested if I could get heavier eccentric lifts like I think Voltra can do.

Is the InerceX Box (on Amazon) a knock-off copy of these?

Cool idea; wish the price would come down.

Which one produces smoother resistance?

Is the resistance variable more like a band or consistant really like a cable machine? Great review by the way.

Hopefully they do catch on though and the price does come down.

This looks like a good option I have a Rep rack with dual cable systems so really want to be able to remove it easily. That being said really like the Crandall lever arms do you feel the shorter arm impacts bench and shoulder presses? Does it affect the strength curve much or feel weird? Would hate to buy these and hate them for two main exercises I want.

It appears the Crandall arms are a better deal locks lever arms in place, can go side to side etc.

I get what you’re saying, for what they can “replace” or “mimic” the price isn’t horrible in comparison.. but, they are still astronomically overpriced for the actual components you receive. I have to assume the margins on flywheel units are the largest in all of the fitness industry. There just isn’t enough to the actual components to justify the price no matter how functional or beneficial.

I invested into the Handygym first. It was about $800, but the training I got with it humbled me. Now I have the Exxentric systems, and I really love it (it really is the real deal). About $3500, but I honestly don’t regret it. It’s a small foot space, really versatile, and it provides a much different resistance profile than just training with weights and resistance bands or isometric trainers. It has provided me carryover for my lifts. Is it necessary? No, but it is extremely effective.

For the algorithm 🫡 great vid. I’m a little fly wheel curious now

Seems really interesting as portable/rack attached devices but how to manage and track progressive overload on this type of device ? And what about durability ?

these flywheels always remind me of equipment that's made more for rehabbing injuries and PT

Very informative!

I really would love to get my hands on a fly wheel system. I think the constant load and time under tension effect is next level. I just can’t justify the $$$ right now. Free weights are the king in my home gym (the rust used ones haha)

Thank you for the video. So what exactly is the point of the keyhole shape, if you can use some 5/8 inch attachments? Why go through the trouble of doing the keyhole? (which you would think it’s more complicated rather than just a regular circle).

… what about progressive overload? It is quite not comparable to weight stacks…

Would you recommend/review leg attachment?! Thank you

Before I even watch I'm saying way over priced.

How much is it?

Single column trainers provide a very different type of resistance. You yourself have both a stack AND a flywheel system, so what are we missing when choosing one over the other?

Wonder if I can turn an older Concept2 machines into one? Been seeing lots of well used rowers for sale on the super low on offer up and Craigslist. Be a fun project.

Big Kurt

I cant find your arfilate on the website for this.

Great video, would you mind telling me where you got the triple bar cable attachment (9:28)? Thank you.

I just bought 2 sets for $160 total on marketplace

How do you do viking press with the UDA? I was going to jsut buy the handles for dips with spotter arm but if there are addtiional uses for the UDA base it might be better to get the entire unit. thanks

Liking the weight selections so far. Not impossible but heavy!

Great update! We will have to work on how you pronounce Louisville

Hell yes

Wish I lived near by…or even had vacation time saved…I would have volunteered for sure! 😎‼️

Congrats on the new sponsors. Sounds like the event is growing and growing. Congrats man!

What are you thinking three events on day one and two events on day two or vice versa?

You are doing amazing work, this event should be epic.

Going to be a good battle for sure

Yep!

What a legend. I did not expect to be able to easily find this information. Thanks!

vhs vs viking press landmine attachment does it do pretty much the same thing

Isn't the fact that the bar is flexible a problem? Wouldn't it be better with a fat bar or Swiss bar for their rigid side?

Black Widow makes some manly ass gear. I have their ez curl bar. It’s awesome.
