I think as you said this does a lot of stuff an adjustable bench already does. So if a person owns an adjustable bench already this is kind of pointless and if they don't own one, they should prob just buy that as it's more versatile. I see this not being great for chest work as most of the times you go heavy enough on incline where you need to balance the weights on your knees and kick them up. This thing would have promise to tie into something like a regular Rogue Slinger as a seat for lat pull down (would need another way to keep your legs locked in). If this was $100 it'd be a maybe, but at $350+ it's a no from me dawg.
In general I really like the channel, but there's no way he didn't sell out this time... "Favorite piece of equipment this 2020"?!?!?! Hope he doesn't do it again...
I made the wooden version of Kaizen DIY Gym, and the truth is I fit quite well and cost me only a few dollars. I'll try to make a 1/4 "metal version soon.
love your channel, you mention some people have to work out in a space the size of a closet. I watched your reviews on lots of the racks but would love to see you do a video about the Sorinex Apex rack. You always keep it real and honest. I read your write up you did on it but would love to see a video on it.
When you working out in a closet you will need one of these, the only pre-req is to get a 3x3 power rack into that same closet :). If you can do that you will save lots of space! :)
It definitely isn't for everyone, but if your programming has a fair amount of chest supported rowing variations I'd rather do them on this than my current set up. Doing them heavy sucks on an incline bench and set up is much longer. Still mid 300s is steep for this. If they kept it low 200s I see them doing well.
I happen to have an old adjustable bench that needs to go away and this will fit the bill plus i already have a monster flat bench and this will add to it nicely.
@0:48, anybody know what brand those dip bar attachments are in the background? I prefer that design, as I've had some bad luck with the one that just mounts onto a single post (extremely wobbly). They look like they'd be compatible with my rack as well (XM Fitness 365 Infinity).
Great video coop. Would combining a flat bench with this attachment be a good replacement for the adjustable bench for those of us who needs to kick up the weights? And what kind of angles are available with this attachment?
This. looks. AMAZING. As a Tall lifter, and one who's working out in a closet, this is what I've been looking for. I want to do chest supported barbell rows but benches don't really work so well. Just...... not at his price. Come on titan/rep! Get copying!!
@@GarageGymReviews just took a look. Seems slightly superior to the REP 5200 because it accepts the leg rollers for decline work. Not sure that is enough for the $40 price jump though.
Since Sorinex no longer delivers to Canada it looks as though we wont be getting any of these for our fitness center. At least with it will give us a few more years for the price to drop or Rogue comes out with one.
I'm in Canada and ordered an Inspire power rack - 3x3" uprights with 1" holes. The holes are 2.25" apart. Think the Bulldog Pad would work with it? Keep it up. Love your videos. 💪🏼😎
@@Jacob-ec6st I love mine! If you go the Monster Series route (1 inch holes instead of 5/8ths), it opens up accessories to all of the other major companies. If you go with Monster Lite, you can choose from Rogue/Titan/ someee Rep Fitness attachments.
@@llarsll Im not sure, but I think the ones from REP are longer. I think ideally they are made to hold you down while using a lat/low row. On the website it says one roller will cover both legs, thats why I was thinking maybe It could serve as a hip thrust pad as well but maybe not. I think ill email them and ask them.
Love this piece of equipment! However at that price I will definitely have to wait for titan or Rep. to come out with their version. Definitely genius idea though. I love American made products and ingenuity, but damn lol
On the economy world we are living today it feels like everything is over priced...simple and well made, sounds like a recipe for expensive lol..Coop really enjoy your videos 🤘
Would you say the pad is wide enough to support your back for hip thursts? Kind of random question but that was the first thing I thought of when I saw this.
@@loadiam you mean exact same as reps ab5200 right? Reps ab5000 is not the same as getrxds fib1000 which is shown in coops video. But if you are comparing reps ab5200 and getrxd fib1000 it's almost the same not exact. The fib1000 declines where as the ab5200 does not. And the back support is a bit different. But yeah I'm sure they come from the same Chinese manufacturer.
@@DoritosResidue Sorry man you are 100% right it is the Rep AB5200 is the same bench as Get Rx'd FIB1000. I misread your post. Get Rx'd don't offer the Zero Gap bench it appears. Still they get a lot of their products from the same manufacturer in China.
I can't say for 100% but they use 3x3 1" holes so it should. But Rep uses 3x3 as well and their uprights are just a few hundredths smaller. So fit might be a bit loose.
Have yet to see a review from this channel that clearly says "this is a bad product or this is overpriced." The worst reviews so are lukewarm, which begs to question, "how good can the good reviews be?"
Bro, this guy reps his barbells more by putting them on wall racks than actually working out. I agree with your sentiment. I've never seen a truly bad "not recommended" review.
@@Nick1253 i tend to disagree. Coop generally reviews high end equipment. He is also kind and professional and you hear him say things are “not very good” all of the time. He also compares products to similar ones, suggests some over others. He doesnt have to trash a product to say its bad. He also does say a lot of things are overpriced
spider curls for bros: alternate drop shoulder on arm thats curling (let other do whatever) "point" your elbow to a spot on the ground bout 6 inches out from the chest support on the way back down you want to curl down to shoot elbow more in front and curl down rotate back to neutral and switch top other arm coop. you taught me how to get my home gym equipment during quarantine so imma help you get swole whether you like it or not :D
Coop, can you lock the Rogue trolly arms up like the way you have it in the Rep rack behind you? I've been on the fence about ordering them, this would make or break it for me.
It looks nice, yes. But $400?! Way too expensive. I understand they price it at what they price it as, and they have a business model to support the price, but for the 2 pieces of cut metal and a pad...they even forgot to send you 2 pins...
Overpriced but I could see it being good for any type of chest-supported rows. Adjustable benches don't work that well in that regard for tall people with longer arms.
Question: What would you suggest if I do have some of those kinds of ideas? I have creations in my head that I think could be cool, but I don’t own or work for an equipment company (yet?).
I can see a couple things that wouldn't be as good on a regular bench but just the cost alone makes me want to boycott sorinex, they have no reason to charge those prices.
Coop: seriously, you have so many attachments I am having a hard time seeing how your racks differ from the massive chrome multi-station Universal Gyms of my youth. I mean, it is all cool stuff, but it kind of conflicts with the free weight ethos, IMO. Maybe I am being churlish, but racks, bars and plates are still where it is at, IMO.
I review things. I'm not buying all of this stuff just to use for my own purposes. I'm buying it so I can recommend what to buy and what not to buy to others. I had just as much fun training with a bar, rack, plates, and a bench back in the day.
Hey Coop! Thanks for all your helpful videos. Very cool product but yeah the price is kinda nuts! Can you try hip thrusts on it and let us know how that works? Thanks 👍😎

It seems like it's a solution in search of a problem, and as you said, an adjustable bench is going to suit most people better.
@@DJS100 🤣
Wonder if slapping a pad on a spotter arm would do the same thing as this thing. It's basically the same thing
Love seeing the old Coop, such a better Coop and better videos
Can't wait till the Titan version comes out lol!
Underrated comment lolll
@Rich Reyes they probably just did. They saw that notification from coops channel. Titans is like "oh new Titan product in the works"!
This is why Titan exists!
👍😆
$99 free shipping
Hmm half the versatility of an adjustable bench for a similar price...
Its Sorinex. Titan will have one out for $89.99 in two weeks
@@hoboaustin109 meh still not worth it imo, a rare miss for coop!
This seems like a waste of money. Especially for the same price of a bench that can do more.
I made the wooden version of Kaizen DIY Gym, and the truth is I fit quite well and cost me only a few dollars. I'll try to make a 1/4 "metal version soon.
Definitely dope af! But really can’t justify it when you can just use a bench for most of those movements haha
Chest supported barbell and t-bar rows some incline benches don’t have enough clearance for the bar
That price made me LOL

Hopefully someone makes this for the Rogue Monster Lite rack.
Yes damnit Rogue make it for $199 and sell 100,000 of them
Revolt fitness makes one
When you working out in a closet you will need one of these, the only pre-req is to get a 3x3 power rack into that same closet :). If you can do that you will save lots of space! :)
Any tips on making this compatible with 5/8” hardware..u know to fill the gap between now and when Titan makes one?? 🙃
Been waiting for this review for so long! Thank you, Coop, for validating my excitement!
Have you seen that rogan’s new Texas gym is from sorinex ?

Great video coop. Would combining a flat bench with this attachment be a good replacement for the adjustable bench for those of us who needs to kick up the weights? And what kind of angles are available with this attachment?
Can you use it for hip thrusts? Or will your head bump on the upright?
Not surprised at all. Sorinex produces the most innovative and well built materials out there!
They should’ve made the pad bigger and then marketed it as an adjustable Plyo box as well

Woah first
Coop just an idea I think that comparing DIY equipment to oem stuff would be a good video topic.
Good idea!
I just picked up a Titan Clean and Jerk landmine attachment. I LOVE it. You should do a review!!
Anyone ever try the pendulum attachment option with this?
Coop, do you think this would be able to support someone doing elevated glute bridges?
What are those dumbbells you using those round ones you put your fist in for the rows
What are those cannonball dumbbells you are using in this video? Those are dope!
They are called Sorinex CMBs. Rogue also makes a similar design called Fatbells.
Actually it was Dieter Rams who coined Weniger Aber Besser or as simple as can be but no simpler. As a gear head you’ll probably dig his style.
Not sure how I missed it but what the hell are those single dip bar handles?!
Just don’t lose balance as u throw up the DBs and lean back for those incline presses 🤪
Why kind of kettlebell is Coop using is this video?
Everyday I question why I went the Monster Lite route
I hear that a lot...
@@GarageGymReviews I guess it’s time to flip and upgrade 🙌🏼
What’s wrong with monster lite? I’m considering the new full size folding rack.
@@Jacob-ec6st I love mine!
If you go the Monster Series route (1 inch holes instead of 5/8ths), it opens up accessories to all of the other major companies. If you go with Monster Lite, you can choose from Rogue/Titan/ someee Rep Fitness attachments.
@@Jacob-ec6st far more accessories for the 3x3 1" hole (monster) racks vs the 3x3 5/8" holes (monster lite)
Would this work for hip thrusts?
Wondering too, looks like it could be mounted lower than the monster hip thruster bench. Even if it’s narrower it might be better for my use?
@@llarsll I've been looking at the REP leg roller attachment as well to see if it can do double duty as a hip thruster as well
@@stephencaserta2969 my rogue leg rollers arrived yesterday but they look too short to get far enough away from the upright for this use.

Imagine if you could rotate the cushion pad and incline it for some pastor bicep curls.
Can you combine this with the Matador to do leg raises?
Would like to see a 2x3 compatible version.
Any plans to Review the Sorinex The Mule Rack Attached Leg Curl
What's the weight tolerance? Could be used as a hip thrust back support
Are you reviewing squat max md
How is that GetRxd adjustable bench? Comparable or better than rep AB 5200

Hey Coop, at 3:35 is that a Sorinex rack with REP front foot? If so, does the front foot fit perfect or you had to made adjustments?
On the economy world we are living today it feels like everything is over priced...simple and well made, sounds like a recipe for expensive lol..Coop really enjoy your videos 🤘
Would you say the pad is wide enough to support your back for hip thursts? Kind of random question but that was the first thing I thought of when I saw this.
Yeah mate, why has no one answered this?
You should only be doing hip thrusts if your tits are big enough. In that case, they’re a moral imperative
Can you do a video where you try to use every single piece of equipment in your garage for one rep
I've thought about buying this one day. I would only use it for chest supported rows.

I'm not entirely convinced. Those chest exercises looked really uncomfortable on the legs.
Overpriced when Bells of Steel has their version which is great and does the exact same thing.
Not enough head space and can only be used in one direction
For $100 + shipping, maybe.
Perfect place to lean got curls
But tbh I’d prolly only use it as a phone station
UA-camr "Kaizen DIY Gym "shows how to make a DIY version of this thing for way way less $$

That pad worth more than my power rack 😔😔😔
this guy has all the gym equipment that exist but he looks like doesn't put much effort on his training
Just salesman speach. That thing is silly, just buy an adjustable bench, even if you don't have space, if you can fit a squat rack you fit a bench.
With $380 I would get another bar or specialty bar.
