Hell yeah... All 500 pounds of it, lol. And pretty much the reason I have to pass on this product... I'm way too used to heavy built equipment like from Rogue.
Only thing missing is good replacement for a regular adjustable bench to work the upper body. Having multiple benches is annoying, but if it can replace all benches, it's a no brainer
Thank you for reviewing this. I've been looking at it for a couple of weeks now. I'm still on the fence. This would be perfect for me. I don't have a lot of available space. But, I think I'll wait to see if they release a version 2 or premium model. I like the multifunctionality. But, questioning the build quality.
Definitely would love a review on Bulletproof’s new equipment coming out like the PCD and VTS. I love my isolator and think that company deserves more attention.
For some reason the PCD from bulletproof isn’t available to purchase on their website any more. I would love a review though if it will become available in the future again.
@@abounasif1yeah, it makes me wonder if its getting redesigned or something since it's off of their page and no longer being posted about after all of the size and price hate people were complaining about on pages/discords.
@@MelloHubb yeah I saw that and it was unfortunate. Looked like a great and versatile machine. Gotta admit I’m more excited though for the VTS to add a smith machine component to a rack.
Thanks for the review! Bought this when they had the preorder of $650. Think I used a code and got it for $630 shipped. Looking forward to it arriving sometime end of November.
Great question! The Leg Developer ads an awesome component to the Nordic Hyper. Taking it from a 6 in 1 machine to an 8 in 1! Perfect for home gym users and those that are just getting into it!
Love it can adjusable. But if it unstable without addition weight .can make dangerous accidant. I choose the solid isolate thing if I have money and space.
Coop thank you so much for all your videos I've been watching for a while now and you inspired me to build my own home gym and I just got it all recently
The fact that they market the reverse hyper functionality is offensive - calling it "just ok" in this review is extremely charitable, lol. Still, this machine will be perfect for a lot of people! For stronger athletes who want true GHD/RH functionality, those Frankenhyper-style combo units are still the way to go.
Similar to doing a reverse hyper on a Swiss Ball or over a kitchen counter. Both of which are common recommendations for those that aren't millionaires. Perfect? No. Just ok.
I think Coop is sort of downplaying how revolutionary this is… I’ve been contemplating buying a GHD/Reverse Hyper/Roman chair for years and have never been able to justify the footprint for 1-2 movements. This solves that problem for a fraction of what even a Rogue Donkey costs. This is immediately at the top of my wishlist..
@@Invictus13666highly doubt it since its only being used by 1 or 2 people. And even if it does break in the next 10 years, if you buy another you're still making out cheaper than the donkey.
Yes and he did a much better review, Coop and GGR are really getting sloppy and bad.. they even assembled it incorrectly and didn't mention so many things, as well as he didn't even show the GHD pad FOR... the GHD function, he only used it for sit-ups.. like, come on..
@@Sommitps Gluck has been a lot better for quite a while now. He deserves more subscribers. I don't trust anything Coop says anymore, he's just pumping crap out without researching much of anything he claims.
@GarageGymReviews been waiting for this review for months! Super excited I pre ordered mine 4 months ago can't wait to receive it! Was hoping it got the Coop stamp of approval for versatility which it did! Awesome review as always!
@Invictus13666 absolutely watched it, it isn't a masterpiece, it's a jack if all trades piece. Sure it doesn't do things 100% but it gets the job done. And a piece of equipment that when oreordered earlier was only $550 is chump change for what this equipment does. I've never been in someone's home gym where they didn't have some of just meh quality. Cause if I show up to someone's home gym and it's perfect and prestine I know they aren't putting in the work and using it correctly
@@patryan8335 and in a year when it’s completely trashed and more Americans are out of work because you’re buying Walmart quality gear, you’ll be out whinging away like a spoiled child.
@@patryan8335I was going to say I’m in the same boat. I have a garage gym and saw this come across when originally advertised as 4:1 exercise machine vs the now 6:1 and my pre order price was $550. For the price we got it dude I think we got a steal. To double down on what Coop said, I got this thing for versatility and space saving. It’s not perfect, and I do personally wish quality was better in terms of welds and especially the padding, but man this knocks out so many different things while taking up really no space, and can fold up nice and tight. Hoping I keep the same energy about this once it arrives and I’ve used it for months!
Thanks for the review. I was to purchase one but the points you made about “lack of quality” really had me concerned. I’d happily pay more for “quality”.
I’d like to know what the next “better quality” unit is in this category. I understand it will probably cost 3-4x, and may take up much more room. Thanks for the review.
For reverse hypers, could you incline the tabletop slightly to lift it further off the ground, making the clearance underneath better for full range? And then I guess you could prop up the side with handles to re-level the tabletop... Now you should have full range and then you could try bands or weighed down feet as you suggest. I have no clue if this could actually work.
Going well. I was an idiot and stuck at 20° Nordic because I didn't realize or forgot about the white handle for the 15•, 10°, &5° settings. Don't be a dummy like me.
For the reverse hyper, arent you supposed to put the rounded pad under the hips to create the elevation that you're saying is missing? Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but it seems like using the hump pad would give you enough elevation to pursue more ROM. I doubt it will be enough to allow full band tension through Rom, but would improve the bodyweight only rom significantly? thanks!
You are correct! Using the GHD pad under your hips would give everyone 6'5" and under almost full range of motion for this variation of the Reverse Hyper! :) Let us know if you have any other questions!
Looks like a lot of flex in the hip thrust post even with just body weight. I would hate to be the first person to load up heavy on hip thrusts when that gives out...could be fatal.
The price is prohibitively expensive for what is essentially just a GHD/Nordic combo. Great idea, still a massive market gap for a combo 3in1 posterior chain machine to compete with the Rogue scout reverse hyper around that 400-500 price range.
Completelt different comparison, honestly. The Rogue Scout is about 500 shipped and only offers one thing. This does back extensions, nordics, hip thrust/split squats etc at 650. Having both of them gives you the best of both worlds while also being space saving.
Can't you raise the height of the end your hips are on to be able do reverse hypers? I'd also recommend Kensui's ANKR over those raggedy MonkeyFeet---they really suck and you can't walk with them on.
Exactly! You can do that, you can also use the GHD pads under your feet to get even more range if you are a shorter individual. Let me know if you have any more questions!
Would love to see an updated video on the bulletproof isolator. I would like to see how it could be attached to a stand alone single upright. This 6-1 Nordic hyper is not a machine for me. The only exercise i have in my workouts right now are back extensions and decline sit-ups. The other exercises dont interest me. Thanks so much for the great review. Keep’em com’n Coop.
Is this a potential solution for the reverse hyper: you could put the machine into back extension mode, but get on the other way so your hands are where your feet should be, meaning your legs are dangling over, unsupported. Would that mean you’d get a better ROM doing reverse hypers?
The build quality is a little disappointing. I’m fortunately in a spot where I don’t need the full versatility of the FA Nordic Hyper, so now I’m wondering if the Shogun Nord-Ex is the best fit for me. The price point is a bit more than I would want to pay though. It’s nice to have this wealth of options for lower body focused machines though.
Happy we are getting closer to a viable GHD for garage gyms but the quality and durability is still not there. I was hoping for more since it costs nearly as much as a full GHD.
I don’t know about that price point. My ironmaster bench and scout hyper do everything this does at less money (granted they were purchased a while ago). I feel like $450 is a more reasonable price point. I would consider it at $400, but not at $800.
It seems like with a little bit more engineering this foot pegs could be hinged to pendulum arms. Then it's just a simple matter of getting your butt up high enough to not bottom out
So my take away was, the quality could be better, it could be more stable, but it has great functionality for the price. And buying individual pieces of equipment that allow you do do all the same things, and be better, you'd actually spend a lot more than $800. Also i think it showed $1000 for its retail price?
While there are definitely other options out there for Nordic Benches and Back Extensions- there are none that are this good that combine them both WHILE offering you many other options. There truly is nothing else like it on the market.
I'm interested in doing just back extensions and nordics. I need something that I can store similar to this. Should I buy this or would you recommend something else?
I like exercising and I like Swiss army knives, but I have no idea what this is. For now I'll just stick to my Total Gym and Spartan and leave this to the Freak Athletes.
Are any well established companies coming out with equipment that allows for progressive nordics? I’m not perceiving any of these small companies offering a quality option. Shogun may be the exception but a user review on Reddit said his shogun was starting to rust after a couple of months.
I have to be honest… this wasn’t your best review. Certainly not up to the high standards you’ve set in the past. Felt more like an unboxing video than the methodical analysis of someone who has spent quality time actually using the machine for multiple real life workouts. You didn’t use the GHD half-moon pads when reviewing the GHD functionality? Or when talking about lack of ROM on the hyper - might that have changed things? Slow down and actually USE the products for an extended period before reviewing them please! Also, when discussing material choices, a little more explanation and evidence would be good. “This feels like the vinyl imported companies used to use a while back” could use a little elaboration. “Grip” is good on a bench to compensate for leg drive. How is it a desirable quality in a back extension/nordic curl/GHD/etc.? Also, talking about how the foam padding is like those older benches (and therefore not going to last long) without doing the actual journalism to assess how those old pads have aged? Is there an actual reason to be concerned? It just came off as a very hasty and lazy take from Coop, who clearly has not spent much time actually using the product himself, and seemingly has delegated too much to junior staff too rushed to do a good job. It’s Linus Tech Tips all over again.
the pad doesn’t change anything meaningful for the reverse hyper. since it has no pendulum to add weight to, you can only add resistance to half of the movement (the top, with a band). that’s not the kind of RH you expect when you are paying for something that claims to do reverse hypers. that’s what you do on your kitchen table for free.
Looks like poor quality on the video. I'm sure it works just fine, but if used a lot I could see it breaking down in over time. Highly creative design and functionality, but I wouldn't buy it unless they improved the quality.
I just got mine yesterday. The quality is actually pretty decent. I only used it for Nordics yesterday. Today I’m going to use it for a core workout. Seems like it is well constructed and I’m looking forward to the addition to my home gym
Have you guys done a video in style my pride gym personalized banners and the new personalized gym mats? It keeps poping up in my social media feeds and wanted to watch a review.
While there are many other Nordic Benches and Back Extensions on the market, and even some benches that combine them both, there are currently no other benches on the market that combine these 6 machines in one! So if you're looking to have a truly all in one posterior chain training machine- The Nordic Hyper GHD is for you!
I'm wondering if it could somehow be used for reverse Nordics too for quad work. yea i know these could just as easily be done on the floor too...just wondering
Looks like a tester product for fitness company who have a idea And trying to figure out how to do the machine and then produce more of a prototype model most companies when they produce this type of home gym equipment ever don't improve model and just move Or they try to improve it
Would love a comparison between this one and the other two GHD back extension devises. The one by "The Tib Bar Guy" and the one by Shogun.
This is what everybody that hasn't bought one yet wants. What's he waiting for?
Any chance of an updated review with their added leg extension and curl attachment?
Would definitely like to see this at Rogue level quality.

@@Zottyo This is an older model. I weigh in the 230s and it is pretty damn solid for all movements in my experience.

One thing he could have done for the nordic hyper is place the half circle pad under his hips and would have got a lot more range on it.

Have you guys done a video in style my pride gym personalized banners and the new personalized gym mats? It keeps poping up in my social media feeds and wanted to watch a review.
What's the stability like from side to side though?
Forget Monkey Feet. Use a green Rogue band, hooked over the toes and heels of your shoes.
I want this
What would the comment section say is the best stand alone Nordic machine? And which one is the cheapest??
Are there any other benches like this to compare it to? This fits the bill of what I'm looking for.
While there are many other Nordic Benches and Back Extensions on the market, and even some benches that combine them both, there are currently no other benches on the market that combine these 6 machines in one! So if you're looking to have a truly all in one posterior chain training machine- The Nordic Hyper GHD is for you!
That's a great machine for all of the exercises that I don't do lol
I'm wondering if it could somehow be used for reverse Nordics too for quad work. yea i know these could just as easily be done on the floor too...just wondering
Yes, use the hip thrust pad to lower onto
Great review!the machine price is just amazing👌🏻
Considering selling my Rogue GHD for this. Worth it?
Looks like a tester product for fitness company who have a idea
And trying to figure out how to do the machine and then produce more of a prototype model
most companies when they produce this type of home gym equipment ever don't improve model and just move
Or they try to improve it
