@jackburton307 for someone that doesn't maintain the right lateral path, this will keep them correct. Bent over laterals are the best application of this, though. I really like it to keep my form. It's really just I change up, and you can do good work with just dumbbells too..

@codygreen1832 I bought the rubber coated steel weights there. They came from the vendor "Ormise" and were delivered fast, like 5 days. I bought 2-25, 2-15 ,2-10, and 2-5s for 99.00. I was going to get the whole set it was like 260 but now I see they raised it to 350 but it does include shipping. I am happy with the weights I got. They were boxed shrink wrapped and had at least 4 nylon bands around the box.

@@flintdreams the seal row?

@shatikaz The quality in perspective and respective of price. The pads could be of better quality, not that they are bad, but they could be thicker. They don't hurt or anything, and the vinyl and stitching are fine. They just don't look impressive like a REP but close to Titan. I expect these all will last for years and years of use but are not heavy gauge steel like you would expect from REP but again, they are much less expensive. They look great assembled. If they fit your budget, don't be afraid. Because they will take you to strength just like Rogue or REP. If you have a bigger budget, buy the heavier builds, but only if you are going to be doing this 10 -20 years and the money wouldn't be better spent somewhere else. I mentioned Parabody equipment in a video. They were made in the late 80s and they never wore out. I still see them a lot and in good working condition. They were built on lighter gauge 2x2 frames...

@JRake32 No, I'm afraid my family history and genetics would make that a bad choice. I have a friend in Colorado who is doing a TRT therapy. He got stronger and said he felt better. It makes me envious thinking of something to renew you because not using anything means sore achy days and definitely diminished attainment of muscle. When you stop working out at this age, strength seems to drop quickly, but we do come back. So nope, never did anything, and man I wish someone would bet me 50,000 to prove it because I could use the money lol.. I think patience is the biggest factor in getting strong. We want it to transform like we are 25-30 and it's a lot more stubborn persistence getting there. Nutrition is so important to strength as we age.

@@mcelhinn do you compete all at your age with bench press? I’m aware of a couple of pretty strict natural organizations but only a couple or just this a personal PR and fitness objective? Your fitness though is excellent and it is an encouragement to see this done without any PED’s.

I love it. It takes some space but hits just how I hoped. Pads look great but not really thick and so can't speak to long term durability. Along the lines of a Titan piece..

Did you end up getting it?

@@stansmith5610 still working on it

its real and do it i have bought several syedee products from temu,I have no complaints.

@@vonfrizzly 262 with tax..

Honestly, the movement is about the same. Drawback is having to move it from high to low and taking up other attachment rack space. Pure movement is still good. The only one I've seen is the ER Kang, which is 1" hole mounting.

@@mcelhinn Thanks, that’s the one I wanted to get- due to the price. I have seen some others, but at $300, it is better to get a stand alone unit

I had a partial bicep tear doing shoulder press dumbbells once. I was dropping a 60 lb DB to my side to unload and felt something buzz like I hit my funny bone lol. Didn't think much of it but later noticed a little concave spot at the top of my bicep. So long story short I just feel safer dropping the ez bar back down to unload. That said I still do DB presses but I use my DB holders so I'm not dropping them. Side note I was taking an antibiotic cipro when that happened and found out later there is a correlation of ruptured tendon and that antibiotic. Best not to lift if taking that medication.

One more thing, when I do a max weight, I will overload by about 25 lb on each side and do a few lockouts without even unracking the bar over me. Feel it helps me get that initial burst when I drop the weight back down my real goal attempt that day. You can also just set your safeties up high, so your range is just the few inches for lockout. I mean, when you think about it, it's like people doing floor dumbbell presses to get over plateaus. Tricks in arrow quiver at this age..and a few arrows too..

I've used it for 225 lb squats so far. It works for that. It's funny every time I use it to think it's an 82.00 bar, but it does make doing squats more comfortable. I believe its currently 125, but they have so many weird sales that I'm not sure you couldn't get it cheaper depending on the day.

I have a pair on my other rack, lol. Yeah, I should use them on the heavy weights

I'm using pipe pin safeties, and they have saved me on many fails. Always fail many times before getting a weight. The fact is I thought this might be an overload fail, but I had already done 345 and so moved up 5. Had a recovery day the day before, so maybe that helped.

I'm using pipe safeties and thats so much better than trusting someone is going to pull or curl a heavy weight off me. See the pipe spanning the rack below the weight dropping. Those are on both sides of the rack just high enough to slide out from under if you fail.

I look at it like this, the stand alone has the upper and lower movements. It has weight holders and movement is smooth. I wish the steel were a little heavier gauge overall but most likely for the weights I will be using its fine. They make a version that fits a 1" hole rack, It sells for about 169 and tax. It just pins to your power rack and has a clamp nut to clamp it on. The movement is also good but it is one set of bar handles so you mount it high for standing and take it off and mount it low for the bent over version. The one I ordered , the machine welds are pretty sloppy looking but solid. It is the KANG model sold on Amazon.I did kind of a quick review of it here on UA-cam. I ended up giving away the KANG model and kept the stand alone Syedee brand. Syedee's welds are cleaner and its a nice piece. I like it. I also paid more like 409 for it at the time. Then again anything I was comparing it too at the time was over a thousand dollars. I liked using the one at the gym so now I own one, a little lighter build than commercial for sure but serves the purpose well. Lastly I happen to catch this Temu sight when they were first carrying Syedee. It was more like 284 dollars in that initial offering. Since I already had one I opted for some other pieces at those kinds of prices. Looking back I wished I had got one for my sons gym at that price. 320 still seems like a good buy though. Amazon has them and also Walmarts online site sells them.

This machine isolates well, and you will feel a pump. Even myself at 65 ...I wish it was a heavier gauge build, but with weights on the holders it's steady and the price is reasonable. It's along the lines of the pump you get with heavy swings but a nice change up from partial swings.

I have had limited workouts because of my work schedule over the past year. I used to work out regularly. Recently I noticed the senior masters lifts don't seem way out of my range of capability so considering some comps..

@@mcelhinn heck yeah, you’re close already. Go for it.

Awesome, thank you so much. Please continue to inspire people of all ages,
