    Nice review. I appreciate your honesty. I like the fact that it can also do pec flys and always appreciate new home gym innovation. But I bought a relatively cheap (ER KANG Power Rack Lateral Raise Attachment) off Amazon. No pin adaptor needed and works pretty well as a lateral attachment. Of course it doesn't do chest flys and has the same limitations this one does with the strength curve. But the one I got is pretty smooth and works great for what it is. I feel the burn after using it so I'm happy with the purchase.

    Always appreciate your honesty. There are only a few people I totally trust and you're one of them. It's a cool device for those who have big racks with lots of extra permanent space to put it but like you said cables and dumbbells do about the same and NOTHING builds side delts more than what's called the bulldozer side lateral where you can use 2-3x more weight and it torches side delts.
    It's a cool device and the owner should be proud. If it could hook to functional trainer cables for perfect resistance curve and was a bit lighter and easier to add/remove I think I might even want one. For home gym owners variety is key.

      I have a Rep PR4000 with dual athena cables love it and since I'm 53 and dieting (lost 50lbs so far) I need to go heavy one say chest workout day and light with higher reps and more sets next or I'm constantly sore. So because of this thinking about getting lever arms/jammer arms. No way paying what PRX is selling their new ones for but thinking of getting another smaller rack to put them on get used Rogue ones with the Vendetta strength adjuster.
      What do you think about them if setup right ie with vendetta or something similar. Crandall fitness looks good too and I'd add and remove them to my rack but they're like 73lbs EACH lever arm!
      I mostly want this for doing hammer strength like chest and shoulder presses. I know you are a big fan of a company who has a lever arm type press machine curious your advice Is the resistance curve BS on most jammers even with good vendetta or similar attachments?
