TL;DR - Bought a Reverse Hyper and it's way too big #thatswhatshesaid
Brandon Campbell Diamond why not just send it back? I know it's big but I just sent back a Swiss bar for $18. Maybe they'll ship that for $50. As far as the back goes, try static holds on the back extension. That helped enormously for me
David Whitney Training & Nutrition tbh it would be a bigger pain to ship it back. It weighs 250lbs, the original boxes and styrofoam disintegrated so I’d have to buy more. It’s not worth the $100 less I’m selling it for. Plus my buddy who is local wants it so I’m happy to hook him up!
If things fall through with your buddy I'll pay you $350 for it. I'm dead serious I live close, know you're in RI I can grab it in 24hrs. I want it.
At your height how did you fit on it? I am 6’10 and would really like one but am not sure if my feet are going to be scraping the ground?
Biggest cry baby on TH-cam
This thing fixed my chronic back within a week. You're hating it because of the space it takes vs what it does - keeps your back healthy and that is super important. Just my take.
TBH my back has felt great the past several years
Brandon Campbell Diamond That's awesome!
@@rockfella27 bro did you buy one? I'm trying to look for one for my low back pain but everyone is expensive and not sure if should spend a bit of money on a good one or cheap one will do, let reply but let us know cuz haha cheers
@@sourhemp3981 I made a make-shift one. It worked for me.
@@rockfella27 you seem Indian but this isn't in india right?
11 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
Should have looked at the pinned comment :)

"I Bought A Reverse Hyper, Now I'm Selling It"
What did u expect?
@@2080bop Word.
@_• 1 year ago go watch Brad Castleberry and his fake plates then😂😂😂
This thing has completely fixed my back
I do it 3x a week
Nice.
I think it is definitely worth it no matter the space it takes up. Yeah it's huge, but so is the lower back pain relief. I'm back to deadlifting and squatting, where I had been too worried about my back to even think about it before.
How so? I’m curious as to how it has bc my head hurts often and am in the market for new equipment
Really how many times you did it . Can I do it body weight I don’t have this machine in my country
Hassan Junaid just body weight
Anything you can do to exercise a lower back, where your feet are not connected to the ground is a benefit it’s completely reverse to the stress of your body normally has on it. Normally you exercise your back with your feet planted, this evens it out, swinging your feet whether or not on the ground is a back exercise in all ways
You can tell Brandon doesn't' have chronic back pain. If he did he'd never make a statement like "I don't care if it's a miracle worker." I'm happy with my Rogue version, even though I agree that it's huge and does literally one thing.
I've dealt with back issues for awhile now, this didn't help.
I’ll give you 8 bucks for it bro
nah man that is too low.Brandon you got 8.99 from me
lol so generous
ime you’re really gonna do me like that bro? I’ll go with $10 and you pay for the international shipping
10.31
Best i can do is $5. Gotta frame it and there's not really a market for it.
Brandon Campbell ASMR channel coming soon
lol need to work on my soothing voice
Brandon Campbell Diamond You're doing just fine
Just buy a bigger house..
lol
lol
Brandon Campbell Diamond LOL
He still has so much room in his basement
0:19 You watch videos of yourself lifting as you lift? 😂
Ha I talked about this a bit later in the video, I had the Pandora app going but I thought my training videos would be funny.
Yo dawg I heard you like lifting...
This is how youtubers get more views by viewing there own videos!
are you pretending like you dont watch yourself in the mirror while you lift?
Lol Sounds like you wanted to sell it before you bought it
I tried to cancel it as soon as I hit buy, but they wouldn't let me lol.
@@BasementBrandon LOL
This guy just likes to hear him self talk
3 Blind Mice not really
Those things work really good as a surface to place your belt, knee sleeves, and wrist wraps. The handles work good for drying out a sweaty t shirt. Very useful piece of shit.
Nolen Elam so true... Louis Simmons has done an awesome job promoting all his bs. Saw one of his wordl championship must have been 40 people in the entire meet. Must have been a Canadian to make it a world championship.
Haha the ones I've seen in gyms have always had at least one shaker cup, a phone, and someones old school pen and pad on it.
Brandon Campbell Diamond All that shit I toss off so I can use it.
Yeah they're a waste of money. Back hyperextension or glute ham devices are cheaper and won't actually put your spine into flexion making your back worse. I don't know how anyone's back feels better after using this. Made my back feel worse.
So I have to ask, what made you not want to try the Rogue attachment for the rack? Was the Titan one smaller? Base price is about the same, but you can at least store some stuff under the front of the in-rack setup.
With the rack attachable version the price delivered to me would be about $750, also it attaches to the back of my rack, so I'd have to account for the extra space of the pad and handles, which would put my rack about 3-4 feet further into the center of the room.
Brandon Campbell Diamond Sounds like time to build a pole barn!
That’s what I love about your channel man - total honesty. I ordered one as well, and looking forward to using it, although not looking forward to the space it’s gonna eat in my garage. Looking forward to some gains though!
Have fun moving those boxes, they're heavy lol. Especially if they're torn open like mine and shit is falling out when you carry them!
Brandon Yes, the boxes were falling apart but thankfully everything was intact. This thing does take up a huge amount of space in my garage, so I’m hoping the strength gains are worth it!
@@markstevenmeneses5919 hey Mark care to give an update? Thinking about adding one to the garage soon
Thank you! Sorry it didn't work out. Sometimes it is hard to tell without actually trying to go to use it and then realize there was no need for it. I made a mistake with the half rack I bought. Not sure where to sell it besides craigslist :(
What are your thoughts on leg press machine for home? Any recs? Trying to figure out if it is worth it or not?
I'd say look 2nd hand. Facebook, craigslist, and a few other apps for mobile are great for searching
Makin' it rain youtube money on unnecessary equipment. Straight ballin'.
Not my worst investment lol
Try the Henny Attachment. Reverse hyper capability along with many other usages. Attaches to rack with use of barbell
Thanks for the suggestion
Looks alpha destiny gonna buy it
And do cheat reps with it LOL
shipping to canada wouldn't be worth it lol
Good review and it’s true what you say IF you don’t have back problems. If you have bulging/herniated disc however, it’s definitely worth it (I have the rogue). Every time I use it it’s like an adjustment at the chiropractor so that alone gives me all the reason I need to have it.
But if bought “to increase strength” or whatever other than therapy, yup, not worth it.
That's the thing though too, I know a lot of people who had back issues that bought one and said it either does nothing or made it worse, but then again some swear by it. Interesting how the feedback varies so much.
Thanks for the video, dude. I thought about grabbing one a while back when I was having debilitating low/mid back tightness. I'm now thankful I didn't go that route because, MY GOD, that thing is massive.
Check out the body tempering implements out there. I bought a step child from Rob Heselton who makes them for Donnie, and it completely changed my life. Takes up basically no footprint too, which is great!
Garage Gym Lab live and learn I guess, shoulda went with my gut!
I regret getting one should’ve got a lat pulldown
MY GOD that thing is massive...nuff said
Why would you buy a step child? Just go find a single mother, they are all over the place...
Any thoughts on the Scout? I don't have space for a full size hyper in the garage, but the Scout would be fine. Sounds like I'd only be able to load it for 15-20+ rep sets, but that was more of what I wanted it for anyway.
Have heard good things but I just don't find a RH useful for myself.
I think it's one of those things where you need to have done it before in another gym, really liked it, and then created the home gym, then purchased it. It would probably be easier to buy the back extension rack. The footprint on those is like 24x24"
the one for the back of the rack is much larger than that still and costs $750.
This was very helpful! I had not idea of how much space it takes up.
I knew it would take up a lot, but I guess seeing is believing.
If only it could do more than one thing...
I want them to make a rack mounted option, would be nice if I ever expand my rack to a T6 size
I looked at rogues but that would make my rack take up even more room :(
Brandon Campbell Diamond overall though probably makes more sense than a full unit like this. Wouldn’t you really just need to have enough space for the handles to clear the wall? Which still is a foot or two I suppose further than what your plates need.
dustinmcd91 i think both the pad and the handles extend out so I’d assume about 4 feet, which would make my rack just out way too much. I think those are best for racks that are open on both ends in a gym
They do make rack mount option.
My playlist in the background I need them views! 😂😂😩😩😂😂😂 This guy is awesome
:)
So glad I jumped through this video, padded out to get over 10 minutes.
Nah.
THAT intro made me a subscriber! Already like this dude.
Lol appreciate that.
Thanks brother. Adding to my gym and was considering this thing...you saved me some money.
Any time! Some love it, some hate it. I'd try to get some use with one before making the decision.
I bought this exact piece of equipment. I use it 4 days a week. I love it. It is big and I have a pretty small space, but it is also versatile. I do the reverse hypers 3-4 time/week, but I also use it for hamstring curls, rows, and even for calf raises. The quality is pretty high considering the cost, though the welds are generally ugly and the grip tape is peeling on one side. But that said, I have not been disappointed with any purchase Ive made from Titan so far with maybe the exception of their multigrip camber bar. Thats just because it isn’t as versatile as the EliteFTS multigrip camber bar. But it is half the price and it does get used.
I find the RH is 50/50 for most people, in my case it was the bad half.
“COKE NAILS “ love it Brandon👍🏽😂😂
I also have a lot of buyers remorse 🤦🏽♂️ I’ve been contemplating on a titan weight tree ? But now I will just check OfferUp till I find a rogue one 😉 thanks for the help🧡 the content
Thanks for taking a look!
I think the GHR/GHD are better options for home gyms because you can do much, much more and is much smaller then an actual reverse hypers.
Prob agree!
If it makes you feel any better, I’ve gotten more out of ham and glute work that wasn’t on my reverse hyper than when I did use it heavily. I don’t think you’re missing out on much
Right on, appreciate the insight.
Can’t tell if you like it or not
lol
Very brave Brandon to admit your error - I sympathize and had exact same issue with a GHD. In the end, had to let it go - just too much floor space for an item with (comparatively) limited use. Thank you for sharing, you have put any desire I had for a reverse hyper firmly to bed.
This severely curbs my appetite/desire for a GHD now as well.
What’s your thoughts on a frankenhyper design? Still a big footprint but at least it’s a two for one kind of thing. The main downside I see is the massive price tag.
Have heard it does neither thing that well.
Yeah, that thing is huge for a home gym...I thought I remember seeing strength shop with some sort of compact version of it? I could be mistaken though...
But more interestingly, why the hell can't Titan have an intact cardboard box for their shipments?...even little things I have bought from them look like the box came out of an active warzone..is their warehouse like that opening scene in Ace Ventura where he just beats the hell out of the delivery box?
I always know my Titan equipment has arrived when I get to my porch and it looks like a dog has attacked the box
Yeah if they found a way to improve the shipping experience I think you'd see a lot less complaints overall about them.
Dude, it is the only thing that brought my back from can't walk to 440 good mornings!... Reverse Hyper 1) who gives a rats ass how big it is 2) it will save your spine and rehab it 3) I trained on the original Simmons Hyper for a coupler of grand plus
No.
Brandon Campbell Diamond but he did . You calling this man a liar ? Did u even give it two months to see if it worked for you ??
@@BasementBrandon Why u being ignorant?
@@solcoster8110 Ignorant insinuates I don't know what I'm talking about lol.
@@BasementBrandon you know what ur talking about, but how do u know that using reverse hyper didn't help that blokes back?
Hey!!! you showed my Scout in my home gym...Thanks...great for me..but I'm 60 and not a competitive lifter just a garage warrior lifting for fun and health. The Scout has helped with my sciatica and my left hip issues so I'm a fan of the RH
Haha awesome, just the first image to pop up on Google!
I received three Titan boxes in the mail today. The Safety Squat Bar was falling out of the box, but undamaged. The leg curl/extension box was ripped and the piece closest to the tear was covered in rust dust. The H-PND, only one of the two boxes showed up thus far, but it was the only one completed sealed. I don't know what's in the other box. The one that showed up seems heavy enough to have everything. The rack that I ordered from amazon, now 22 days ago, is still not here. It's been sitting on Long Island for 10 days. Maybe they want me to go pick it up. I don't know.
Damn, that doesn't sound like very good luck :(
How is this video over 11 minutes long.
B/c it's a rant, that's typically the case.
TH-cam offers more ad revenue for videos that break the 10 min mark.
Would you use the space that this takes up for a GHR? It probably takes up about the same amount but has... 2 functions? I ask cuz I have very limited space and debate the issues this video brings up. Thx again.
I'm definitely not as sure as I was before. I thought I wanted a GHD but am reconsidering.a
Your massive clock... Is that a countdown timer as well? If so, what brand? Looks neat
It's just a clock with date/time/temp
I'll come down this weekend and buy it for 300. Im in Boston
Ah already sold!
This is a hit piece. I have this machine and it's extremely high quality. The shipping and packaging was perfect and it was easy to assemble.
Nah it's the issue with RH. Some love them, some find they do nothing.
Brandon Campbell Diamond you obviously just don’t know how to do them
@@BasementBrandon so why not actually give the equipment more than 2 days of use and make a video of your experience with it? You bashed a product because you basement is small.. looking for clicks made you look dumb..
@@joshsulli4875 I owned it for 6 months and still feel the same.
Man, imagine if you would’ve spent a grand on a Rogue one!
Ouch, that would have been harder to swallow
If you had to choose one, would you choose the reverse hyper or back hyperextension?
Prob RH, more you can do with it.
Damn, I was thinking about buying the X-3 Rack.
You even did a review on it which inspired me to get it.
Have any unchanged thoughts about that?
Also the video all about Titan that you mentioned in the later half of the video, you should release it.
Vent to us bby.
I think the X-3 rack is more functional piece of equipment where as this hyper is not
Worked wonders for my back and hips, I warm up on a reverse hypers just to lift
nice.
I wasn’t clear: do you or do you not want the reverse hyper?
lol
Thank you for this video, It answered all my questions.
Hah I know a lot of people want to know if a RH works for back rehab, but it's just not worth it to find out IMO
I agree I love it but its one piece and its large, cost wist excellent but I have to be realistic on the whole thing, thanks again man
The back is the most important thing to longevity, it’s worth it.
You said “Unless you want a dining room table” 😂😂😂
Does make a nice place to rest during sets.
Hi Brandon, what are your thoughts on the Rogue Donkey? Is it worth the space?
I think if you're looking to combine the two to save some space (it's still huge) and don't mind the $, then it could be a good option.
Thank you. Just saved me $600. I got caught up in the hype and considering it! I love you channel. 100%
I know times are weird right now but if you get a chance, always try before you buy this thing!
I used to have one from strengthshop (I live in the Netherlands) for a short while. It has pins for plates so I also used it for plate storage. The rack I had then did not have plate storage pins. I had to move my home gym and it just took up too much room. I bought it used and sold it for more than I bought it so no worries for me.
Right on!
Leaning over a high enough table/surface you can hang your leg from has the same effect?
Could if you can find a way to add resistance either bands or dumbbells.
I understand that it takes up so much space but my question is what else were you going to do with that space? Just leave it empty or what?
I'm always looking to add/change things down here to make it as efficient and as fun for me as possible. This thing eliminates both.
Brandon u ever planning on going to jujis gym or would you go if he they payed for your travel
TBH I don't think I'm a big enough draw these days for others to want me.
Have been debating getting a reverse hyper for like 6 months. Never pulled the trigger on it bc I didnt want to have buyer's remorse for your exact reasons. Worth the review. Not ever going to order one. 👍🏻
Yeah I can't believe I went against my better judgement, live and learn I guess!
After years of watching your videos I never thought I'd see the day you turned down something because "it was too big"
Must be getting old
Brandon, can you please tell me where you got that Miller Lift poster? It has a special meaning to me.
Masseconmics
Brandon Campbell Diamond Thank you so much!
Brandon what's your day-to-day job?
to put it simply, I'm in charge of the training programs for a division of my company.
Jack shit is his answer 😂 lucky duck
What digital clock do you have in the background? Does it have a seconds counter?
No it's just displays date, time, and temperature. Got it on Amazon for like $45. Just like to have it there to remind me how long I've been down there lol. It's the AcuRite 75100
Not sure if you still have this, if so any chance on a review video now that you've had a chance to use it?
Titan sells an economy version, which is the most I'd be willing to pay for such specialized equipment, but only if it actually improves low back pain. Any insight would help as I have no place nearby I can try this before I buy.
Had it for around 5 months and was using it regularly as part of my programming. That being said, I didn't find it provided enough return to keep, so I sold it at the end of december.
@@BasementBrandon Ok, thanks for the feedback.
I know this is pretty new to me this reverse hyper bench
What's the difference between hyperextension bench ????
Can't you do weight training exercises to mimic the same thing as this machine ???
You can do some similar movements, but not quite the same.
have you thought about the rogue reserve hyper that attaches to ur power rack?
Would be much more expensive ($750) and still take up a ton of room.
Two days ago the gym where I go picked up this contraption called a Booty Builder hip thrust machine. Even in a large gym it takes up a big chunk of floor space. I guess it makes sense, because hip thrusts have become extremely popular among girls, as the exercise builds their rear ends.
Like the one brett contreras sells?
With my limited floor space, I could only get one large item and decided to go with a Rogue Abram 2.0 GHD. It’s a lot more versatile and still has a smaller footprint than the reverse hyper.
Right on! I'm having second thoughts about adding a GHD now b/c of this lol
Love your videos
Thanks man!
Really wish you would have labeled your video accurately. A simple, hey it’s too big would have saved us all some time.
The video title can't get any more accurate.
Great review as I was thinking about getting one. However, just FYI you can’t patent a name like reverse hyper. You can trademark the name which is probably what Louie did. Also if it was a design patent then the protection lasts 14 years from when it issued/granted as a design patent and if it was a utility patent then its 20 years from when the application was filed.
There ya go, that's what I meant ;)
Brandon what did you put on your ceiling to cover the insulation?
Think it was just some vapor barrier I got off Amazon or from Home Depot.
I have Titans sitting calve raise machine. It came intact, nothing damaged and was put together with ease. The only things I have found with this particular equipment was the Olympic plate bar extensions are junk and the weight lift is greater than what I was doing with a smith machine. So to conclude, I like the sitting calve raise but will pass up the economic hyper machine. Thank you.
Thanks for the feedback!
What about the scout hyper? A footprint you only have when it's in use.
I still don't find it has much return on using it. Def a better solution for most though.
So all and all are you happy with your reverse hyper ?
lol
Thinking of selling my Titan Economy Reverse Hyper. This thing is plenty big and strong can handle anything I'm certain, but not sure I see anymore benefit over the roman chair and quite possibly more back aggravation. Mine arrived from Titan in quite pristine packaging. Welds were ok/fine, but that's chinese welding as a whole...
Yeah I really find it hit or miss. For those it misses for it just eats up too much space.
Bought some safety arms for my 40 dollar cap barbell squat stand. They’re fine but there was a lot of loose powder coat inside the box... for 60 the spotters arms are great
Right on!
Hey Brandon! Thanks for the review! I wonder what's up with all these people getting all angry with your opinion 🙄
People tend to get mad when someone doesn't share the same point of view.
I got the x2 cage and their high/low pully system. The cable was fed up but I got a jaguar strut that was just jammed into the same box as the cage. Customer service was great for the cable and sold the car part on ebay.
Right on
I like the video of you doing chest supported rows in the TV in the back ground
;)
Did you ever consider the rouge hyper that’s a rack attachment?
JasonLeeno costs $750 and would make me move my rack out to the center of the room another 3-4 feet
Brandon Campbell Diamond damn...
Our reverse hyper is one of the least used pieces of equipment at Massenomics Gym. It was popular when new (just like anything new)... but the use of the reverse hyper really dropped off... there’s a few people that still use it, but it’s mostly a water bottle table now.
haha yeah haven't seen one in a gym that didn't have a few shakers/phones on it!
I love that thing. Its a lot better than the one I made out of wood in my basement...
Because they are sheeple. Streng comes from your core and core is much more than a six pack.
Masseconomics....same thing I've seen at every gym that has had one. Even the people that were diehard fans after a short period of time never use it
I bought into the hype and tried despite it being a total waste many many times.
Have you sold it yet? I may be intrested if shipping does cost an arm and a leg.
Yep!
I signed up at a gym because it has a Rogue Reverse Hyper. And I never use it. I find that safety-bar "good mornings" rehabilitate my lower back much more effectively.
Nice!
They have the Rogue model at the gym where I used to train. I don't get much out of it. I much prefer regular hyper extensions.
Right on!
TL;DR, just kept wondering.. where did you get that digital clock?
MrJBlich on amazon. AcuRite 75100 Large Digital Clock
what you think of the westside scout hyper from rogue? do you think is worth it?
I don't find reverse hypers beneficial
Man, everything you described is exactly what it's like to buy Titan products. I'm still a fan, but there's a lot of things I just can't bring myself to buy from them.
For instance, the Atlas bar... for another $50, you can get an Echo 2.0 bar and you know that's good. Every time the atlas goes on sale, I want to try it, but I just think of Titan's terrible packaging and think better of it.
The quality issues you mentioned have pretty much shown up in every single titan product I've bought that has any complexity at all to it. (And not talking much complexity, here.)
Was on the fence between getting a Thompson fat pad or a Titan knock-off. Your video reminded me that sometimes even at 1/3 the cost, you want the real thing. Especially if the purpose of what you're buying is to prevent injury.
I can recommend the Rep Fitness fat pad, it's solid!
Brandon Campbell Diamond d'oh! The fat pad is on its way. Would probably have tried the rep. That's a great price!
Haha like the thumbnail. This could be any Guzman, nick wright or max thumbnail
Brian Rogers learned from the best!
I believe when ordering the equipment the dimensions are provided, so I guess what is most important to learn from this video is to check the dimensions before you buy, know what it is used for and decided if that is something you need, and often the cheapest product is the cheapest construction. Do your research before you spend $$. I have a West Side reverse hyper that I have had for years and it is very durable, has been great for my back health and strength. It is used very often and operates as well now as it did the day I got it.
I already stated in the video I knew the dimensions.
Always appreciate your objective no-nonsense reviews. Thanks Brandon.
Thanks my dude!
Best standing desk I've EVER had 👊
Makes a great phone holder.
Ahh perfect I've been looking for a stand up desk covered in shitty welds for months.
Lol
Lol this is funny
I have it it’s nice
We do you have calibrated plates to lift in your house
Are u sponsored by rogue it seems like it
Not that nice.
Ok, I get that it isn't practical to take up so much space for a one trick pony. BUT... can you offer suggestions for how to do reverse hypers on other pieces of equipment?
As long as you have a high enough bench, you can use bands around your ankles to simulate.
Do you know anyone with a good review of the Bells of Steel Reverse Hammer 2.0?
Not off hand, but for all of the combo ones (even the Rogue Donkey), I've heard mixed things on all of them. Mostly jack of all trades, master of none.
@@BasementBrandon So I should probably just go with like five of each in the commercial gym instead of trying to do 5 of the combos. I also asked Garage Gym Reviews but don't really know him. If you know him, see if he has done any of the combo machines. All I can find are the videos BoS did on their own machines.
@@BasementBrandon Found this one on the Donkey: th-cam.com/video/S-9fM0-4BDM/w-d-xo.html Looks like it weighs 500 lbs. Should be good for the commercial gym. I'll have to find one and test it out maybe.
what are the details on that 4 way light bulb socket tho lol
Picked it up on amazon, helps with lighting in the basement.
I recently ordered farmery carry handles and a sled. Yesterday it came in, and the feet to the sled were outside of the box sitting on top of it.. boxes litterally ripped open.. if i could post the pic i would. After all that though, im conent with the sled
Right on!
I have 2 of them and yes they are large but my back is so much stronger from them. I notice when my reps and strength are up with the rev hyper like 20-25 with 500lbs my squat and DL are the highest. Not to mention the restoration I get from them. Sorry to see you had to sell. Its a wonderful machine. But I do know space is important. I started in my garage and worked up to a 1700 sq ft warehouse
It's one of those things I've found that either is a god send, or a paperweight.
I have had Rogue boxes arrive with parts hanging out of the box. Really ticks me off.
Sorry to hear!
Lol! Deep breathes and shaking of the head reminds me of Guzman. 😂
I learn from the best!
