How'd we do? Did we miss anything?
Maybe reel back in the qvc vibes a bit ?
Tred Sled by the Tibbar Guy. Maybe on a “be on the lookout for reviews”
Most of these are on my "I can't afford in 2024 list" but will own anyway by August.
Hahahha. Legitimately laughed out loud at that
@@GlucksGym Can you do a budget version of this topic?
Perfect distillation lol.
Not just me then lol
Sounds like a millennial/gen z attitude. Charge it dad
Those Kensui plates in the background look amazing.
Those things pop
@@GlucksGym I have the strength co plates and I think I may have made a mistake
@@randyweaver6911 we've got those too. Those are great plates! Why don't you like them?
@@GlucksGym I do like them. I’m just jealous of your Kensui plates lol
Thanks for including us Gluck!
FYI, here is a video covering the small upgrades we made to the Hyper. Nothing groundbreaking, but each of these make using the Hyper a bit easier!

For those of you who already have Hypers, you're not missing out. We made sure you get every last major feature possible :)
2nd the comments about Darko lifting. Everything i've gotten from them is neat, well thought out, and super well built.
Shame it's only for 1inch holes.
fits 5/8" too. depends on the product, but mine definitely fits. @@btam83
I really love the fact that your Wife and kids love hanging around in the gym. A great sign of a healthy and fit family.
With all the gym equipment you have your kids will be next Arnold or at least next Chris Hemsworth.
That Darko attachment is really nice there goes a couple hundred again lol thanks Gluke
Love your channel! I have an Isolator and love it! I only do 3-4 exercises on it, but it fits my garage gym well. I use it with their Solo Stand. I have a Rep PR-5000, but I wanted it off to the side so to speak.
Love my Maverick bar, which I discovered on this channel. I got it to work around nagging injuries. At my age I'll probably always have a use for it. It's rough around the edges as far as build quality goes, but it works great. With all it does for the money I don't really have many complaints.
Great list of items! Love the videos as always, i throw on in the background while working out. Wish Bulletproof were in the uk shipping too expensive!
Sometimes you can tell just by a thumbnail the vid is gonna be a banger 🔥
Hahaha thank you!
Even though I just got the Bells cable tower, I love the idea behind that Dialed Motion system. Super cool engineering and ingenuity there!
Really appreciate it 🙌
Yes, someone finally reviewed the thresher pad!!!
I'm don't think can call it a review but hopefully it helps get them some attention.
I got the isolator a couple weeks ago and it's awesome. I'm still learning all the things you can do with it, but it's worth the price. I think Bulletproof Fitness is the most innovative company right now as far as the home gym goes. I'll be getting the VTS when it comes out too. Those ISO arms look wild, but very functional too.
I havent seen one of your videos in a few months. Huge improvements to the quality and content. Great to find you again since some other home gym reviews have gotten way out of pocket (as in budget lolz)
We're always trying to improve. Glad to see we're making some progress.
I'd love to see a rack mountable pull-up bar like the Cubb bar.
Would love to see a review of the MAXUM Fitness SX2, with the unique articulating arms for the functional trainer and how much it comes with I don't think there's anything else quite like it and it seems extremely versatile!
The Thresher pad deserves a full video 🦾
The isolator has exceeded my expectations. It's so well built and solid. I'm 6ft 3, 300lbs, lift heavy weights and this thing is solid. Yes I need a bench to support their pad when I do leg extensions but that's it so far. They are supposedly building a kick stand for their pad to suport it further for those who exceed the weight limit so cant wait for that. I'm waiting on the long arm to have even more functionality and the solo stand so I can use it even more.
They have so many exciting new additions I cant wait.
Bulletproof's instagram and the products in development are more impressive to me than any year for Rogue or Rep. Just amazing how far ahead they are of the competition.
@@InternetChatter agreed. I've found myself watching their IG live videos. Can't say I've ever done that for any company.
They could easily up charge their products and still be successful but its just not the case. I find their prices very reasonable.
@@nickc3365 Absolutely, I don't follow amyone else in fitness on socialmedia but Bulletproof. I am space limited so Freak, Dialed Motion, Squatmax and Bulletproof are my reasons for working overtime this year. I use pieces to their maximum potential and love the options all this stuff gives me.
Oh man, the pad kickstand is a really really cool addition!
@@mattlovelace91 you see the plans for the pad extender on a swivle that's gonna be used as a bench back or an extension to the pad for lying exercises. My poor bank account.
When's the review of the wooden treadmill displayed at 2:58 ? I got mine 2 days ago and so far I love it. Another great video from Gluck's Gym. I agree with you on each product described in this video. There are some new and amazing gym pieces of equipment out there.
EDIT 2024-04 : I actually removed the hand rail from the treadmill as it's not required. The console is quite crappy (like the rail). I would not let a heavy person use it, just as it's not designed for tall people. That being said, it's my all time favourite piece of cardio equipment. To each their own I guess. It's easy to roll around (especially without the hand rail), it's smooth enough and doesn't make much noise. I really enjoy walking fast/slight jog/walking on it while youtubing and listening to music. I'm 5'4 so it's the perfect length for me. It also helps with having a proper posture gait (I was skeptical but this aspect turned out to be true). The design sits at 55 inches in length but I see no reason why they couldn't make it 70 like more expensive models. The wood is a nice addition as it reduces the overall weight. It weighs 200 pounds so it's more easy to move around (and to carry inside). I do have a feeling your opinion will be quite different Adrian! lol In the ideal conditions I would have went with the Assault Runner or the Blitz, but I didn't want to spend 6k $ and having to deal with moving a 300+pounds unit into my condo, let alone having to move around that thing in my condo. So far so great and I'm really glad I took the chance.
Please do a review of the TIB BAR GUY - SLEDTRED all in one machine!!!!
Great top 5! I didn't realize Freak Athlete is upgrading their Nordic Hyper. Now I wish I'd waited 🤔
I can't find any info on that?
Hey, I'm so sorry that it seems like you're missing out with the new changes on the Nordic Hyper. I totally understand that since you preordered in advance. For full clarity, here are all of them:
1. Colored knobs (to help know what to grab for adjustment)
2. The back extension pads now slide side to side (instead of using the sit-up pad to fill the gap)
3. The step up bar now folds away (to prevent hitting when dismounting back extension mode)
4. We added a handle on the top of the back extension pads to make adjustment easier (instead of grabbing the frame itself)
All of these changes make the Hyper easier to use but don't fundamentally change the product. For someone who's had the Hyper for a few months already such as you, they wouldn't change the experience since you are familiar with which knobs to pull, you have the upgrade kit including the sit-up pad, you're used to the placement of the step-up rod, and you're used to adjusting the back extension height.
We did everything possible to include all major features in the first round of Hypers including the late upgrades of hip thrust mode and decline sit-up mode.
How are you liking it so far? We hope you are loving it just as much as we are! If you need anything whatsoever, let us know here, on Instagram, or on email at support@freakathlete.co

Me either, except Gluck's video@@iogpurge
When will you review those kensui chrome plates?
I'm just here to show some love to Darko 🤙
Appreciate the support 👊
I’ve been missing the Gluck content! It feels so few and far between… we need daily content!
I’m kidding btw, I know you’ve got two kids!
I'd love to put out more content but this stuff takes way too much time. Hopefully I become more efficient in the future or we hire Wynie. That actually would work much better.
@@GlucksGym Just post videos of Wynie working out in between your other videos, no one will complain 😉
Interesting to see that the Freak Athlete piece got updated...
They're probably concerned about the PCD
Thought you might wanna know youtube is running adult "depends" ads before your superb video. WITHF?! LOL
Aren’t ads tailored for each person? lol
😂I would think so but the people in the ad were heavyset/thick females of color and I'm a skinny white boy!@@sonofashepherd6668
To clarify, with the upgraded version of the Freak Athlete Nordic Hyper, does it now allow for effectively performing Reverse Hypers?
How well did the The Isolator work with the ares? I don't think I've seen that video yet.
I just moved so obviously it’s time to update equipment based on available space yay!
Can your review Mayhem neon fleck bumper plates?
Does the Freak Athlete Nordic Hyper have a matte finish? occasionally it look either or to me from the photos and videos.. just want to know before purchasing other equipment so that i can keep a theme. thanks in advance
Adrian, this video reminds me of the Maverick bar you reviewed a while back.
Do you know if the guy ever signed with a company to mass produce it or what's going on with the bar presently???
As far as I know he's still making it himself
@@GlucksGym
Oh that's too bad, it seems like the most innovative bar ever. I thought Rogue would've jumped on producing that item kinda like they did with Kabuki. I'm pulling for that guy to get a mass producer
Please test Voltra one from beyond power!
Sorry I don't think we'll be doing this one. We had a deal to review it but it fell through and we were left with them wanting the equipment back with no affiliate or payment and that wasn't the same deal others were getting. I'm sure others will put out great content on it.
Are you going to do a review on those Kensui plates
I don't need anymore plates after buying my calibrated set but I'm curious about them. They look pretty bad ass.
I'm sure they'll get worked into a big video we have coming 👀 but idk if we'll do a dedicated review.
I’m curious when dialed motion is gonna release their foot plate for rows and the roller pad for lat pulldowns. I WANT THEM! I NEED THEM!!
I'd say definitely by the end of the year. Hopefully sooner. They are at the top of our list, and we have been discussing and perfecting their design the past few days.
@@dialedmotion best news of my day. Thank you for the heads up!
P.S. I love how refined your product appears to be. Thank you for focusing so much on the details!!
@@dialedmotion You really are knocking it out of the park.
Great review like always. I'm gonna need two piggy banks to afford these.
Definitely 😂
I'd love to get an Isolator, but because is seems cumbersome to set up, I'd have to get a dedicated rack.
BTW, are you guys going to The Arnold this year?
We unfortunately could've swing the cost of the Arnold this year. Had a blast last year though!
As a tall dude, flopping onto the incline bench is the worst! That thresher pad will be mine.
Hahaha it's the best part of my workout
Team Pendegraph... Love all the products Darko Lifting has come up with!
I still don't understand how people are upset at Bulletproof over what happened. If someone respectfully warned you multiples times not to do something because it infringes on their intellectual property and you still do it, what do you expect is going to happen? 😂. It's called cause and effect.
what happened?@@MelloHubb
As far as I know they worked it out and both admitted their faults in it. Seemed a bit silly to me but I wasn't involved and I can definitely see how they could get worked up over something they both put a lot into.
@@GlucksGym Well said!
I’d love to see the Infinity Arm by Exponent Edge reviewed
Please make a review of VOLTRA 1 trainer by Beyond Power...thanks
Sorry I don't think we'll be doing this one. We had a deal to review it but it fell through and we were left with them wanting the equipment back with no affiliate or payment and that wasn't the same deal others were getting. I'm sure others will put out great content on it.
Hey, how do you compare the darko thresher pad to the BOS seal pad?
The Thresher is better quality and more versatile but more expensive especially since you need spotter arms for it.
Awesome! Thanks
Always finding a way to sneak an extra item into a top-5 list.
You know I always will 😂
You going to get the new Bullet proof smith machine attachment?
I'll do my best to get one for a review
Do you have a guide on flooring? I want to go horse stall for how cheap it is but smell and quality I’ve heard is an issue
We do not. Currently we're running and have been running stall mats for years without issue. I'll have to look into flooring options and see what I can come up with.
@@GlucksGymthank you, how is the grip on stall mats? From what I've seen online it looks kinda slippery? Did they need to be broken in also what did you do for the smell?
@@shatter5874 I never had issues with smell. I'm not sure if that's a sensitivity thing, a basement thing, depends on the batch you get, or something that's a little overblown but I've got like 40 any haven't had any problems.
They're not slick unless wet. That's not something I'd worry about.
The wobble and stability of the seat / pad on the Isolator is the only thing holding me back from purchasing. The wobble is pretty noticeable in every review that I have watched. I'll purchase wants a new version comes out that addresses this.
Gluck got yammage
84k a used CT5 Blackwing with a manual but you are right I rather have the collection you have or one similar.
I might switch out the SL and Foxbody for something else but have never driven either so it's hard to say.
What did FA change? It looks the same?
Hi! The functionally of the Nordic Hyper is still the same with all of the same modes.
We took some feedback from our affiliates and made a few small adjustments that make it a bit easier to use overall.
Updates include:
-Different colored knobs so you can get through the learning curve quicker.
-The Step-Rod is now built in and able to fold in easily so its one less step in assembly!
-We've added a small handle right under the back extension pads to make it easier to lift when switching between modes.
-The Back Extension pads now slide together so you will no longer need the small sit-up pad.
Same functionality, just a few small changes to make it even easier to use!
😊
I will never spend a dime on the bulletproof products due to their behavior on social media. Actions speak louder than words. Thank you for your videos!
They both worked that out. Sounds to me (though I'm an outsider looking in) like both parties took responsibility for how it played out.
What behavior? I pre-ordered and realized I can't use their new product and he refunded entire order no questions asked.
They own multiple patents. If they wanted to be mean about it they’d just sue instead of sending cease and desist letters.
How dare they expect their innovations not be stolen!!!
I mean, if you built something, would you want it to be stolen?
Bulletproof is in my top three equipment companies, my wallet is doomed
Assumes you have a rack, which I dont because there are better options. The only really terrible thing was that bar with the rotating handles, that is a poor idea. Takes away the only good thing about bars over dumbbells. Why would you do that?
Team Bulletproof
Still sold out.
New orders releasing end up March I believe. I take all blame for them selling out 😁
30th
Overpriced and not needed by 95%of people you mean!!
Jealous much?
@@InternetChatterNot one bit!
The same could be said for having a home gym in general.
Nothing is needed beyond air, water, food, shelter and depending on where you live, clothing
You actually fell for the Arnold Press. Do better.
I’m wicked ripped. No Big Deal.
