It's been over a year since my original review of the Westside Scout Hyper from Rogue Fitness. This is a foldable Reverse Hyper that is compact and the ideal version for most home gyms.
After a year of using it in my garage gym, I wanted to give my opinion on it, and talk about some. of the new features they've secretly added in a 1.2 edition.
If you're looking for the best reverse hyper for a home gym, this is probably it.

Outside of my power rack, barbell, and plates, this is the BEST thing I have purchased. I use it in the beginning of every workout for a set or two. I would constantly have lower back pain; this has almost completely eliminated it.
Do you use it to warm up for squats and deadlifts or just in general to get warmed up
@@cryptomando for sure every time I squat or dl. Even when I bench / OHP I'll still hit it as part of my warm up. It loosens up my back and feels limber after
@@bobdole7292 when i used it at first i had the same painful suffocating feelings. But you're saying you need to be higher up on the machine for it to work, I've been letting my hips stay further back. I'll try again up front more but i didn't like that feeling either. Wonder if it's the design of this hyper or it's a general issue with them
@@cryptomando squats and deadlifts
@@bobdole7292 what’s your height and weight? Maybe it has something to do with that?
Bought it when it 1st went on hot deal in June for $325. One of the best gym purchases I've ever made and couldn't be happier. I've had major lower back issues for about 9 years. Since using this for just over 2 months. My back has felt absolutely amazing and stronger. I've had no more back pain and movement issues. In fact, I bought the Rogue Abrams 2.0 GHD as well. To continue my posterior chain development and get that even stronger. I have to assemble that this weekend.
Remember guys it folds too, so you don’t have to worry about a large single use “once a week” piece of equipment taking up valuable space.
Yeah but it's kind of a PITA to move around. I can deal with it but my wife won't. Really needs some wheels. I'll probably add some after the warranty is up.
Long term reviews are awesome. Thanks.
I purchased one of these a month or two back when it was on sale. Zero regrets. I use it before and after every lower body day. Totally worth it.
How do you use it without it crushing your stomach, sternum, ribs, etc,
Fucking painful laying on your chest and abs while your legs are under you
Have you used above 177 by chance?
Good for you! I just went to order it thinking it was 385 like he said. It’s now 500. No way!!
Curious as to what price you bought it at? It's currently $395 on the website!
@@wilsonram39 Shipping + tax makes it 520$
Not that I've used this but my experience with reverse hypers..I had severe sciatica from my rear to my ankle (ankles the worst) from what was eventually diagnosed as a protruding lumbar disc. I couldn't stand or walk for more than 5 to 15 mins without severe pain, excruciating. That lasted 7 months. Then read about louie simmons and RHs. So I got on a tall piece of furniture where my feet didnt touch the floor. I did a few sets of 15 to 30 RH, no added weight, a few times a day. After a couple of days I walked for 90 mins no pain. Next day a 3 hour walk, no pain. Scitica gone, not been back since. Good to couple with lat pull downs but allow the bar to pull you up so it stretches you. Forgot to day I'd been to 3 physios in that time, all their prescriptions useless.
I have have exactly the same pain you are describing. Can't even work construction cause I have to constantly sit
@gregwhite, Really man? I have Sciatica too, and that keeps me up in the night. I am going to buy this one and start my RH.
I purchased mine shortly after your first review and have been very happy with it. I use it at least twice a week but have used it for other muscle groups as well.
Wasn't expecting this at all. Ordered late in the day when this video posted. Got the handles yesterday (about 3 days) and the reverse hyper is in my driveway today!
Love your work cooper
I got a Westside Barbell Reverse Hyper because of your original review. The most attractive feature is the ability to fold it. The price is reasonable too. I weigh 300lbs and it holds me okay.
This is definitely a great value. When it’s deployed, it’s huge. But the fact that it folds up and stores easily was a huge selling point for me. It keeps my home gym looking clean when I’m not using it. It’s also very solid, which isn’t something you would normally associate with a piece of folding equipment. I use it a lot for warmups and cool downs. My rack/barbell/weights are the only things used more than this.
I've got the ver. 1.0 in my tiny 475sq ft apt, use it at least once a week, and really happy I bought it.
thanks for the update!
For hamstring / posterior chain work, we ended up getting a Rogue Oblique Flexor for barbell back extensions. Both are great lifts, but feel like reverse hypers are a bit more specialized
I use mine for every workout. Its the first time I have been able to do leg extensions since I started my home gym. I also use it for leg curls, although they aren't exactly the same leg curls you would do on a machine but I do feel it in my hamstrings. I love it.
Bought one when I was released. I love it. It’s helped eliminate my back pain. My wife and I both use it twice a week. Easy to set up and store. It does rock a bit under heavy load but hasn’t been an issue.
Hey when you’re using it for back pain what kinda weight and reps are you and your wife using please?
@@thomasbrown7328 I use 80lbs for 5 sets of 15 and she does 35 for 5 sets of 15. We do it as part of our warm up on leg day. It sends a massive rush of blood to the lower back and fires up the posterior chain.
In addition to weights I use resistance bands on mine. I set the bands between the plate load and the handle. It works really well since it pulls the swing arm back and increase the resistance in the lower part of the movement.
..wait what? This is a genius idea! Thank you!
Do you have a video?
Coop, we need a review on those rogue urethane bumpers!!
Great review! I got mine for my home gym about a month ago, when it was on sale for $325. So far, I absolutely love it for high rep warmups and cool downs! Single leg, leg extensions work really well too!
Same here.
Just got mine a few weeks ago! Great piece of equipment
Rogue now includes rubber spacers for the weight horns. I just received mine this morning and was pleasantly surprised when I saw them.
Love mine. Use it before and after squats and deadlifts for great effect. You can never have a strong enough lower back. Try it with no weight and do flutter kicks.
Great review. Thanks for the update. As somebody with lower back issues who’s always been a weak squatter, I’ve been looking at Lou’s programming and will probably buy one of these off of your review.
I bought mine intending to fold it away after use but when I got it I didn't realise how bulky and massive it actually is. Now I hang stuff on the handles and use it as table to put my laptop on, which is really handy. I also use it to work out my quads.
I have the Rogue Donkey. Love it for me and my wife's backs. Use it every day. Great for back extensions also. Have in a corner. Very big
I've always wanted a reverse hyper but my home gym is super small. Looking into this since it's foldable and won't take up much space. Great video as always!
I have the Titan rack mounted version. I think square footage wise, the rack mounted version is the smallest. Also beefs up the rack with extra stability and weight if you have 3x3
@@NittoNba44 Yeah I'd for sure get a rack mounted one if I could but my rack is a 2x3. Plus I don't have the space to put anything on the front of my rack, so free standing is the only way to go for me :(
@@NittoNba44 is the titan version any good?
Will get one next week, from Rouge Belgium. Look forward to it. Kenneth, Norway 🇳🇴
Awesome! I was going to go Titan Fitness, but now? I will use your link to order, I’m happy they can compete for home owners!
I love mine. I use it at the end of my workouts as a rehab exercise.
Such a great quality piece of equipment
I have a small home gym in my backyard and the Scout Hyper is perfect for it
I've got this version (just got it two months ago) and really like it.
I have one of these and I love it!!
Thanks I just ordered mine
I really want one of these
Purchased this when they had it on Hot Deals back in late June. I am glad I purchased this, I use this about twice a week after my squat days and sometimes use it for single arm rows which feels really good. One of my top 5 garage gym equipment I have.
How much was it on Hot Deals?
@@Jonnynot1plate Probably only like 20% at most. Usually 15% to 10% off or free shipping.
do they always have the discount late june?
The bolt that holds the foot holder can dig into your rubber or urethane plates. Easy fix as I just put a 2.5 metal plate on first to protect them. If you have metal plates, not an issue or it may scratch them up a bit. Not a big issue, but for those who want to keep their equipment flawless looking, it’s a warning. I don’t care as most of my plates are already scratched up, just a minor inconvenience to leaf blow the rubber crumbs out.
This is really good advice! Thanks 👍
Running nearly $600 now with tax and shipping. You have to really need it to justify spending that much on it. Unfortunately, with resurgent back issues and limited space, I do.
It’s back to 395$ if you haven’t already ordered…
Buy used. Just snatched one for $200
@@gugy68 There's none available within 500 miles of me. And probably never will be. It's a niche piece. You got lucky, congrats.
Thanks for the review. Would be nice to see a review of the Rogue Donkey (GHD and RH combo).
Great machine for those of us with back issues. Love it.
Glad to see a replacement pad installed from that first review.... but how did that first pad with a rip fair?
Nevermind new model
I’m wondering if the new pendulum swing. Is too keep it from swinging. When you unfold it? I’ve had it crack me in the shins when opening it up.
Had mine for about 4 months and have used it 3-4 times a week. I'm a big fan. Good for leg curls and leg extensions. Only issue is the bolt scratching the weights. Mine are already beat up, but it may matter to you.
Thank you for your comment. That was going to be my question if it can replace leg curls and leg extensions. Makes me want to get this even more!
Yeah it will do that. I use a 5 or 10 lb steel plate to cover the bolt, then use whatever plates I want
nice , thanks ! I just bought it in version 2.0, an idea on the improvements?
Coop....what's up man? At 3:33 and again a t 4:37 in this video it looks like you have a sweet tattoo on your left fore-arm. But during the rest of the video it disappears? Movie magic? Or is that your stunt-double's arm with the tattoo?
Good review as always. Appreciate the 1 year look at the Westside Scout Rev. Hyper.
i feel the like reverse hyper is a piece of equipment that could really ascend into an essential piece of gym equipment with just a few modifications it could easily also function as a leg extension and leg curl machine hopefully a company looks into doing it
Amen!
you can actually do both of those movements!
Check out Rob Bailey’s video on this. I own this exact reverse hyper and have no issues !
@@Riktamorty I couldn’t find it. Can you share the link?

Coop,
Could you do a full review on the Bells of Steel reverse hyper/Ghd combo please? I’m looking at purchasing any one of these products separately until I ran into the dual combo piece. Just want an informative review on one before I purchase an item. Thanks brochacho
I'd love to see a review of some Bells of Steel products !
Yes a would totally appreciate that review
I purchased the hyper/ghd and really like it. The build quality is solid, everything assembled smoothly. One downside, they skimp on the padding, so depending on the weight, your groin (On the hyper) or your knees (on the GHD) can grind into the metal frame. If you have the funds, buy the rogue one (They just upped the price RIP). If you don't, the bells one is just fine
@@surreymma7567 Any home remedies you came up with to supplement the padding?... Or you just grind through it
This exercise is only good if you have really good pelvic stabilization I would recommend listening to Chris Duffin talk about it before you buy :))
Thakns for the review. I wanted to ask how much is the total build on your Rep fitness squat rack?
It’s very good. Wheels would make it GREAT. Coop- any ideas for wheels? Or will Westide/Rogue come up with a wheel add on? The scout is a tad bulky to fold and drag all the time….
I just purchased one. Waiting for it to come and can't wait. I was thinking some furniture disc's would work nicely.
Mine just came in the mail today… boom
I picked one up used from I guess someone that didn't use it much and figured they'd just get rid of it, and under my ownership I can say that I also do not use it much.
mine finally came in today, looking forward to getting rid of
my back pain
Que tal va,se mueve metiéndole peso?Un saludo.
si se mueve pero no es para tanto qque es incomodo, @@sultansultansultan.4356
Much prefer this style of video rather than the numbers rating ones!
Thanks for emphasizing made in USA angle.
Coop please do a rogue axle bar review!!
Just bought an used one for $200. I can’t wait to try it.
I love mine. While I do wish that it held more weight, you can do single-leg hypers, and that should be enough.
I wish it had the step on both sides so it was easier to get up for single leg ones!
if the front feet coming up becomes a problem, i wonder if you could just hang some kettlebells or something off the front handles. should still be plenty of room to put your hands up there
Any plans on doing elitefts equipment reviews? Like the leg curl/ext
yes please. im looking to get that exact piece of equipment actually
And look what he just picked up
@@ijrebuck now to wait on the review haha. Do you know if elitefts does Black Friday sales on machines?
@@ijrebuck actually check the comments on the IG post, that’s not him.
@@collinsmith1345 ah crap that just ruined my night haha. I was actually searching for that answer last night but didn’t see machines listed under the past ones. I didn’t look very hard though so I could have missed it
I want one of these but I don’t know how much weight to use . I don’t dead lift or do squats yet . I am in good shape at 155lbs and run and workout with kettlebells daily . Can you recommend what plates to get ? Thank you 🙏
I changed the bolt that secures the strap on mine so it doesn't touch the plates. Piece of all thread and nuts on the inside.
Great review. Never heard of anyone doing leg curls or extensions with it though, I’d love to see a video of that as that would sell it for me
There’s a Dan Bailey video up showing exercises you can do with a reverse hyper
th-cam.com/video/7hmotmTOmDA/w-d-xo.html
That comment piqued my interest as well. I was looking for a leg curl/ extension machine, and if this could do that as well it would end up on my short list.
Coop, review on new iron oly plates at rogue?
Let’s get a leg extension / curl machine review in Coop
I have bulging discs in my l5-s1... The pain is quite annoying at times and I hope to help strengthen my back since arthritis is being caused with all the inflammation.
Would reverse hyper help my condition?
I’m curious to hear from those who have had diagnosed low back issues and what it has done for them? Feel free to message me . I’ve got a lot of issues and in fairly young . I want my life back
Reverse Hyper or Glute Ham Developer if you have only space for one of them?
it's up to version 1.3 now. Any ideas as to what the changes are?
want to see a foldable GHD
My buddy sold me his for $300. Fucking steal. I use it every day! I love it
Have they fixed the problem with the bolt that holds on the straps? That bolt rubs against my urethane weights and scratches them up.
I got a version that has features of both this and the old one 😕
I also chuckled at the original creator comment. *Cough cough* CMBs
I have 2 lower buldging disk on back. Will this agreviatte it more or will it help and do I really need one in my home gym?? Thank u
Anyone whose had back surgery try one of these? I had surgery about 10 years ago (micro discectomy) and no gyms around me have one. Shipping to my location is about $200. In short, taking a $650 gamble and trying to see if it’s worth it.
Louis simmons
@@senakristhfon3711 Yes, I read that he had surgery, but he's also not an "average joe" and would be biased towards his machine. I'm not a pro, just an average dude who doesn't want back problems anymore.
Hi my friend. Have you purchased it? If so, how is your back pain? Has it improved?
@@AlejandroRodriguez-dt5it I did purchase it! I still have back pain. HOWEVER, it does allow me to function with the pain. In short, when I would get injured I’d have to walk with a cane and be completely worthless. I have been using it and still have back pain, but am fully functional in life (I train jiujitsu and weight lift).
@@David-dw2iq Thank you for taking the time to reply. I truly appreciate it. And that is amazing. I’m sorry you are still experiencing pain, hopefully to a lesser degree, but it seems to have helped. It sounds like I need to buy this.
Does this thing hold 1 or 2inch barbell plates?
Do u know if rogue are havi.g any sales soon?
This dude has a chalk pot attached to his chalk bowl😂 efficiency at its peak!
I got one of these last month and it works great. I'm not using enough weight to rock the front legs yet, but I'll set the rear legs on my deadlift platform with the fronts on the ground. Only about a 2" difference, but there's no way in hell the front will come up now.
I think that's a good idea. Is there a way to actually physically weigh down the front when using it?
@@ronroyce6 maybe straps over the handles and attached low on a rack?
God, I wish that Westside Scout Hyper V.1.1 was me
Wtf 😂
10:26 - Wait, how bad are the conditions for making bumper plates?!
Guessing I should feel worse about using those than like, a single plastic straw.
Why are you swinging and using momentum? Why don't you do it from a dead stop with a controlled raise and descent?
I just got it. I am wondering how the belt stays around your ankles in the video when you swing feet under. The belt loses tension and just slips off for me.
$475 right now. Still the best deal I guess, but it sucks how much prices have skyrocketed recently.
@@UmdogTR”BIDENOMICS”
@@UmdogTRare you thanking them because it’s down to $355 now?
@rafster9655 Shipping is still like $90 or depending where you live
Coupe has all the nice things.
I have two buldging disk in lower back so I purchased this reverse hyper. However when using bumper plates they hit my knees and shins?? Iam doing it very control with legs extended but no luck. Is it supposed to be a clearance of 7 inches from floor to bumper plates? Iam beginning to think the belt shorter or leverage arm on reverse hyper shorter than usual?? When coop doing the swing it looks like the clearance from floor is shorter than mine??
I came for the production but stayed for COOP my cuzzo
Hey dont call me a goofball LMAO
For me its all about the TABLE feature ;)
Can you review the Rogue Donkey?
How do I keep the ankle strap from slipping off? I can’t get 2 reps in without it falling down.
$495 now. $581 with tax and shipping.
Coop, please find a way to attach this item to your Coop squat.
For that, check out the RH-2M Rogue Hyper
This is cool. But… tax and shipping add about $150 to the price for me in SoCal.
Compare this to the core evolution one
$475.00 + shipping. not too bad of a price.
do you guys do anything at all?😁 Do you look bad or have you run out of growth hormone ?
Swing it or "pop and lock"?
Does this also help for disc protrusions in the lower back?
Absolutely
It’s used as a table when not in use
Coop, any regrets on getting this?
Hey @Coop - I've got mixed reviews: Do you look your head up on swing back, or do you keep your head fairly isolated? Thanks - great review!
For some reason on rogue europe this is cheap as dirt for what you get. cost the same as a pair of monster spotter arms
