Does the Manticore compete with Rogue and other 3x3 racks?
🤷♂️
I think so. I ordered mine over the weekend.
Going to have to email them and remove the sandwich J cup and leg roller
👀
No.
Rep is innovating far more than the other major companies. Rogue or Rep is the way to go.
Had it been available a few months earlier I would have pulled the trigger, but timing didn’t work out. Ultimately it worked out, ended up with a PR-5000 Dual Athena + Lat/Low Row and couldn’t be happier. I am rooting for BoS to really build on their momentum though, multiple companies pushing on the innovation front in addition to all the smaller players in the market are ultimately good for the consumer.
@@triplehusky9125I have a Rogue rack and I disagree. REP generally is the most optimal way to go but if you want Rogue attachments I’d argue Manticore is a better option. The differences between Manticore and Monster are subtle enough where Monster isn’t worth the premium for most and you can use the money you save going BoS on more attachments or other things. Plus, BoS has essentially copied the REP Athena to release on the Manticore so if you need a cable system build into your rack, Manticore beats Monster.
Do I need a new power rack after buying a Rogue one last Christmas? No. Will I watch a 16 minute video about a similar rack that I have no intention of buying? Oh yeah you betcha. Keep up the good work guys.
Hahahaha. Thanks for the support!
Why are we like this
Exactly 👍
Just came by to support a fellow new Englander.
I'd like to see a review on the leg curl/extension and the lat pull-down & low row. Comparison between the Rep lat pull-down and using it on a rogue rack as well would be interesting.
Agreed 👍
The solution is easy: buy the monster, add the lat pull down from Bells since Rogue is too stupid to build a proper rack mounted lat pulldown/low row.
You guys do some of the best comparison videos. 10/10 stuff.
BOS is having a great 2023
Thanks! Happy people seem to enjoy the vids.
Great job on the animations!
Love the editing
Good job beating Coop to the Manticore review. I just ordered this rack and have been waiting for a review.
Hard to beat GGR since they're a big corporation now but I have the only Manticore so it was easy this time 😂
You mentioned the safety arms were really big. Will they still work for bench press safeties?
For me yes, for Wynie is really close but that's because we have the RBS (stabilizer) on the back. Otherwise they're just under knee height for me
I think it was really cool to see both racks side by side. It makes comparing the two easier.
Now I just gotta wait for a house to come up for sale with high enough ceilings.....
If you only knew how much work it was to put them side by side and then reconfigure/move everything 😂😭
Great review! We would to see more reviews on their attachments - especially the leg extension
I appreciate the fact that you built them side by side
Hours of my life I'll never get back 😂😭
Been waiting for this🏋♂️
Hope you enjoyed the vid!
Wow the Manticore seems like a great deal with a nice ecosystem, great job BOS!! Any chance we could see a review and comparison of the Mikolo 3"x3" PC02 Power Cage?
At $599.99 the Mikolo is the absolute lowest cost 3" x 3" cage I could find with a small but nice attachment ecosystem like lat pulldown + low row, leg extension/curl, jammer arms, etc... so if it even compares in any way at such a low cost I think it could be great value that most people aren't even aware of is an option!
Thorough as ever. Appreciate it.
Thank you!
Picked up a Manticore 4 post a couple months ago. Got the 90" uprights with 43" depth and I've been very happy with this thing, very impressed with the build and quality, this thing is solid. No shipping cost either as I picked it up. The same spec rack from Rogue (as much as I love them) was twice the price with 712$ CAD freight shipping on top of that yeesh gotta love shipping to Canada.
Looking at it myself, want to grab a six post for storage and for the lat and row down the road. Did you have to bolt yours down, get the stab feet, or experience any side to side sway?
Hows the finish holding up, and have you tried any attachments outside of BOS?
Thanks for any info you can provide!
@@theangrycanuck8331 I did not need to bolt mine down and did not get the flat feet as it would have put the uprights a little too close to my ceiling. I was worried about not having the flat feet originally due to stability concerns but once I got it together those concerns were gone. This thing is firmly planted on the floor its super heavy so if you go 6 post it will weight a ton. I don't get any shake at all using the dip attachment with the 4 posts (180lbs body weight). That being said I have the 90" uprights with 43" cross member depth so my 4 post footprint is pretty large which probably contributes a lot to the stability and weight.
I also get barely any side to side sway but like I mentioned the 43 inch depth probably helps as well I have a cross member on the front for extra stability and moved my pull up bar to the middle and it's been working great for me.
I've been happy with the powder coat they used it seems to be holding up well granted I've only had it for a couple months at this point but I use it 6x a week and all the attachments are uhmw lined and I haven't notice any scuffing or scratching on the uprights.
I have one Rogue Monster attachment I bought and it fits just as well as the Bells attachments I have (I used rogue monster squat handles as neutral grip pull up handles on my front cross member)
I really considered this rack last year but got tired of waiting and Rep was steady releasing and updating so I went with them. I’m glad Bells has done this to increase competition overall but I’m still glad I went with my PR5000. Gluck sir, you’ve really come a long way. Thank you for sharing your experiences!
Please review the leg curl / extension!! It looks like to hooks directly to the low row !! , how was the function?! Look forward to more reviews from you guys , especially on the BOS stuff as living in Canada it’s by far the most affordable option and I’m looking to purchase the manticore as soon as I finish the carriage home I’m in the process of building 😊
Buy the rack you want that meets your needs.... you won't miss those few $100 as they years pass by, but you will still be smiling when you walk in your gym. That being said, I wish I hadn't bought my RML-490 (with many BoS hydra attachments added), but instead got a Rep rack (sadly it was before they shipped to Canada). The extra width of the Rogue rack is a pain especially on heavy bench pressing when you are alone, etc. It's very easy for your plates to snag on the safety strap pins, etc, throwing you off to the right or left. The width of Rep makes much more sense, especially if you train/powerlift with a 20 kG comp bar with narrow collars.
great review. thanks.
Thanks for watching!
The collegiate half rack with weighted plate lat pull down is very tempting. Relatively smaller footprint and can lift inside and outside of the rack.
Fantastic review. I am very happy with my PR-5000, but may have considered Bell’s rack had it been out at the time. I have traditionally stayed away from Bell’s. I don’t love their quality and I would like it if they started doing something more than black powder coat on everything. Im like most woman and their shoes when it comes to gym equipment. I like colors and options lol. Thanks again for all the information.
Hahaha. You got me at the end here. That's why we have Wynie on this channel. Let's be honest, I don't know women but she does 😂
Deff gonna be getting a few attachments for the monster.
Great review! Are they making the upgraded sliding lever arms for this like they did with the Hydra? And do you think that pulldown would fit on the Rogue 90 inch racks crossmember without modification? Or is it lower?
B.O.S. Sliding lever arms are one of their best attachments, I have the Hydra version, using it on my Rogue ML rack.
Would love to see you try programs, apps, like you did with the squat and bench PR’s by you and Wynie.
We just did a Boostcamp review not long ago. Did you catch that one?
Nice review as usual. Any opinion on the 4 post with front foot stabilizer attachment where the side cross members is off the floor vs the 4 post flat foot without the front foot stabilizer as it is not needed, but the side cross members is on the floor?
Thanks
The keyhole allows anyone with hydra or 5/8” attachments can use them on the manticore, I just watched the bells of steel video where he discussed this specific choice
Awesome Review as Always!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I still prefer Rogue Monster Rack even its the same 11 gauge steel! As much as I love 🇨🇦, I go with the 🇺🇸 made on this center piece of the home gym! 😏😏
Still looking forward to your “Dialed Motion” Full Review 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Did you spot the Dialed In Motion mounted to the rack in the top right side of the thumb? 😂
@@GlucksGym I was talking to James and know you got the Trolley System for the review!! Haha as one of my question was if it can coexist with Rogue Lever Arms - maybe you can test it out. The cable runs 1” outside the upright and I think it should be fine but still want to make sure. My other question was if the Trolley system can coexist with the Rogue Monster Crown pull up Bar - as it has side handles sticking out. So hopefully can see your honest review on this too! 😊😊😊 Thanks Adrian! Awesome content!!! Keep them coming!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the great review! Do you think the lat pull down/low row attachment would fit on a rogue rack?
Key hole racks also allow for 5/8” attachments It’s great
Yep. That's something we've covered in a few vids as well.
Phew! 😅 Still happy about getting a Manticore and selectorized cable. But also for going outside the ecosystem for things like Kleva's Adroit landmine.
Hey! I'm getting the same build :)
@@BreadAndGatorade Right on. It was like, buy a Monster-ish 6-post and get a selectorized cable attachment for free. No more DIY cable rage.
Thanks for the review. I'd be very interested in getting your in depth thoughts on the Manticore leg curl/extension as compared to the Bulletproof Isolator.
I've seen other videos saying that the BoS Hydra leg curl does not work with the low row cable (torques the connection to the upright and the lever arms scuffs it), but it seemed to work ok when shown briefly in your video.
It works but a few quick things if you're going to get it. 1) On the rear post like I have it the cables and your back are kinda in each other's path. It's not bad but you might bump them. 2) If you put it up front that problem is gone but then you have to get a much longer chain. 3) It's still a heavy attachment so getting it in place kinda sucks.
Otherwise it's fine but Isolator does more (and has it's own pros and cons). Maybe I'll put a Hydra rack next to this one and do a comparison between the 3.
@@GlucksGym thank you!
We need a review of the "Stepr" stairclimber to see if it's a cheap chinese knockoff or if it's actually a quality product!!
Awesome review. Couple thoughts:
1) I like how Rogue's uprights and cross members line flush with one another on top of the rack. It makes the rack look really clean. And even over video the finish of the Rogue rack looks nicer.
2) You mentioned keyholes on the bells of steel spotter arms. I thought, in general, one reason for key holes was the ability to put some 5/8 attachments (e.g. 5/8 inch pin leg rollers). Perhaps I'm super wrong here and if so I apologize.
3) I love your callout on how much room attachments take up on the rack, for example, I love the Rep spotter arms, but they take up so much space on the uprights. I would love to get the oak clubs ones for example I hope companies start to take this more into account with their designs especially as customers want more and more attachments.
You could always buy Rogue crossmembers. I actually have some Rogue top cross members on my PR-5000 sitting flush and it’s great. I got them not necessarily for that purpose but because I needed a width that REP simply didn’t make. It was a nice extra benefit though as I do think it looks aesthetically better, even if functionally it’s all the same as I never use any of the holes at the top of an upright.
@@djbakasan yes good idea, but not sure my Ares would work then
2) You are correct. That's how I used to use my Hydra Seal Row pad on my Rogue rack. It's just odd they put them there and not on the spotter arms for example.
We'll see. Bells has already seen this video and a lot of other companies watch our channel closely so hopefully that feedback gets to the right people.
I prefer the rogue top crossmember and would 100% buy the rogue for that reason.
Forgot to comment the other day! Nothing to say, just adding one to the list.
Nice review. Will Manticore Seal Row Pad fit my rep rack?
I'd love to see more about the BOS leg extension and curious if it would fit a REP PR-5000
Thanks for the feature! Great side-by-side comparison. Anyone looking to drop a Rhino in a cheaper rack has a GREAT option now. Maybe I missed it, but does it have the option for shorter uprights? That was my main issue-- my low ceilings. Thanks for your hard work bro ✌️
Yeah they've got 4 height options and go to (I believe) 74"
@@GlucksGym That's awesome 👍
Great video and info! With all the options you have in your home gym, do you still use the bulletproof isolator at all?
Atm my space is in shambles. Some guy put 3 racks in it so I can't even get to everything 😂 so atm no. I'd like to rearrange things and make space for it. We still have it is just but hooked up atm
@@GlucksGym lol. Been there. Well… not 3 racks but in shambles. 😁 from your vids I gather you’re not much of a tinkerer, so was curious if you liked it enough to keep using. Appreciate what you do!
Heck Yeah Dude! I feel like Bells is the company to watch. If they could make their cable towers 3x3 everywhere and more stable, they would be very dangerous to Rouge and REP's sales. Also, YES I want to see the leg curl/extension attachments. I can't seem to find a good standalone option for that but also don't want the hassle of taking it on and off the rack. But maybe theirs solves all my problems. Probably not, but maybe! lol.
They're a big pain to take on an off. Not the worst thing ever but definitely not an easy process because they're heavy and awkward 😢
@GlucksGym Oh, come on! Haha. Hey, can you tell REP to make a stand-alone leg Extension/Curl machine that is perfect and costs barely anything? That'd be great, thaaaaanks (Lumberg voice).
Thanks for the great review! Did you get a chance to try swapping out the Rogue and Bells uprights/cross members with each other? If they are the same (modulo the flush tops) that could be good for some Frankenstein setups.
I did and I meant to include it in the video but the editing and everything on this one ended up being WAY more than I thought. I literally got this video ready 5m before it went live. They're swappable and pretty damn close to identical. The Rogue feet are bigger and maybe 1/16" taller (just the feet) but side by side it's hard to see any difference on the holes (height, literally anything) and if you're putting them 17, 24, 30" or whatever away you'd never know a difference in the measurements. The holes are numbered differently but that's about all you'd see.
@@GlucksGymawesome! I really appreciate the insight!
Yes!
needed this film last week when I ordered my Manticore. Looks like I made a mistake on the landmine and 2 leg rollers
Yea. I am going to email Bells and ask to remove the sandwich J cup and leg roller I ordered.
If they let you remove it post back here
@@BreadAndGatorade 👍
I wonder if u can attach the cable of the lat pull down to the Manticore Curl/Leg extension to provide continuous tension.
Hey Gluck do the Surplus Strength spotter arms fit on both the Rogue Monster and PR5000?
Review those bells of steel calibrated plates. I was thinking about picking some up. But, can’t really find much about them online.
I'll probably talk about them in a few videos at some point. We've got Bells, Hansu, and Titan's calibrated plates atm. Probably will get Rep's too. They're decent plates. Durable coating on them but like any others they do get beat up.
@@GlucksGym Thanks for the reply man. I'll keep an eye out for the video. Also, I personally would definitely be interested in reviews of the bells attachments that were mentioned in this video.
Really wish Rep would come out with a seal row pad. I wanted the BoS one, but not if it wont lock in.
Darko’s Thresher Pad works pretty great. It’s not quite directly comparable though as it’s designed to go onto a spotter arm instead of directly on the upright, but I find that I prefer having the extra headroom.
That looks pretty similar to the set up I'm converting to. What is the depth on those back crossmembers? I got 17" back and 30" front and it looks like what you're showing. It looks slick and that's exactly what I wanted to set up!
The Batwing? It's 30" depth with 30" wings. The plates are a little in the way when loading and unloading but it's not bad. The 6 post was 30" and 17"
Delivered a workout machine to this guy’s house a while back. Great guy, terrible driveway.
I'm new to lifting and looking for a rack that can grow with me. I was planning on ordering the Hydra rack, but now I'm wondering if I should go with the Manticore instead. The only thing turning me off of the Manticore is that it doesnt come in purple. Would I be making a mistake to choose the Hydra rack over the Manticore?
How are the roller j cups? Looking for something for my rep pr5000 that isn't as expensive as the ghost strong or irwin fitness rollers but would like to know if these would be better than Titan's?
Compare the bells version with the isolator please 🙏
Would the bells lat and low row work in the monster rack?
I was thinking about buying some extra weight horns. How do the bells Utility horns compare to rogue?
I'm glad to hear that you like it! BOS was having a great sale so I ordered this same rack in 90x30x17 about 10 days ago with the plate loaded pulley system and a few other accessories. Going by your review, I'll have to pick up some BOS spotter arms soon.
A few questions for you:
Did you get the dip attachment with yours? If so, how does it measure up to the rogue?
I ordered the front rack "feet" for extra stability but I'm thinking the overall depth with them and the pulley may prevent it from sitting on a standard lifting platform. Any thoughts on that or if they're even necessary?
Thanks!
Yes we have the dip attachment. The quality is fine, nothing special but it's solid. The grips are pretty large in diameter (same as the Velocidor) but the quality obviously isn't the same. It stores vertically on the rack like the Mutant Metal attachment too. You got a 6 post? The front feet aren't necessary then.
@@GlucksGym I sure did. I ordered the 6 post and the front feet like a dummy 😅 I'll have to email them and see if they can swap out the feet for something else. Thanks!
I ordered the same configuration as you.
You won't need front feet with a 6 post.
I ordered the Velocidor over the BoS attachment.
@@BreadAndGatorade appreciate the reply! I emailed them and was able to swap the front feet for the seal pad
I have a rhino belt squat. It will fit in the manticore rack correct?? I also have a rep fitness cambered swiss bar will it fit on bos or rogue??
Overall, do you think the price is worth it? I tried ordering from your link and the back piece crossmember is $100. Looks expensive to me. A 4-post rack with basic accessories like 2 pair of j-cups and 2 pairs of weight horns and flip down safeties totaled around $1800 CAD. Is it worth it?
will bells lat pull down attactment fit the rogue monster?
Will the lat/ low row attachment fit on a monster rack?
can you make a video about 3rd party attachments compatibility with rep fitness 4000/5000 racks and I assume because they're both metric if it's compatible with Rep it's compatible with Bells?
Pecs looking great man
It's the shirt 😂
do you have any more details on the functional trainer and smith machines you showed?
Atm that's their priority for their best big attachment releases. They're working on refining them. Still in prototype stages but they've been through a few revisions. Unfortunately I'm not sure how long it'll take. We first saw this rack over a year ago in our Bells HQ tour video.
@@GlucksGym thanks, I'll definitely keep you in mind if I take the plunge with bells next year when I move.
Ah man, I need to find more info on this. Was this shown in your video? I'm looking to buy this setup but would rather wait for a BoS version.@@GlucksGym
Just asked the owner. They're prototyping another round and hoping for spring /summer
Does BoS have flip down safeties for the 30-inch depth yet?
Yeah they should be in this vid and our gym tour. My Rogue rack is 30 " and they're on it.
Will the BoS lat and low row fit and be effective on a Rogue RM4 (90in)? I’m looking to add one but don’t want to redo a whole power rack for one.
You may have to swap your top crossmember since BOS isn't flush mounted. The Bells lat pull does have some height adjustments and I checked the RBS and other components on the lat pull/low row and they fit but after moving and rebuilding these things a few time I ran out of energy for a full bolt up job.
Considering shifting my brand loyalty to Bells-hoping for smoother experiences and fairer deals. I am getting sick of Rogue and their prices. I emailed them about simply needing a stabelizier bar to add to my rack, and they would only sell me 2 at a time... it is like they go out of their way to make things difficult and expensive.
We want to know about the leg raise
I'm torn between the Manticore vs the PR-5000. What are your thoughts? I know Bells does a 5% military discount so that's also a factor for me.
Maybe I missed it, but did you address the keyhole pattern on the bill of steel model? Where any of their attachments made to use the actual keyhole?
I mentioned it. Mostly when talking about the flip down safeties. I basically said Rogue doesn't utilize them much and I pointed out the two attachment I have that use them and that Bells might have more plans but I haven't heard anything yet.
Nice
Wow, your chest is looking good (so jealous). And I like your personality and nothing wrong with your voice ;)
Hahaha thanks. Curls and chest day every day 😂
I will happily use the affiliate links to buy these new 1 inch accessories, but can you let us know which ones can fit on a PR-5000v2?
I'm really interested in that manticore seal row pad!
The video talks about that fairly extensively. I show the Seal Row pad going onto the Rep PR-5000 as well. LMK if it doesn't answer any of your questions.
@@GlucksGym Ah you're right, you even did it at ua-cam.com/video/bZtpIMRB0ZA/v-deo.html. Used your rogue link for the pritchett pad :)
Is the lat pulldown/low row compatible with their hydra line? Really wanting the selector plate option.
I'm sure you could make it work but it's 1" hardware vs 5/8". Outside of that they're incredibly similar attachments
Came hear for the leg curl attachment review from the man himself :(
😢 17m long and still couldn't fit it in 😉
Im considering preordering one of their pull up bars. Do you feel it would work seemlessly on an rm 4?
I'm not sure which pull-up bar you mean but yes, there shouldn't be any issues.
Can’t really compare those spotter arms to the stealth spotters. Apples and oranges. Bells replicated all of the other gusset style spotters on the market, including Surplus Strength’s original ARC spotter arms. All that to say, the stealth spotters are the best option on the market.
I can, and I did 🤣
Did the leg extension’s holes line up on your rep rack?
That's a pretty good question and I got so involved in this one I didn't bring this up. It actually only uses 1 pin to latch it. The other pin goes on the outside of the rack. So yes, this technically would fit on a Rep rack like any other metric/inch rack. You may decide to shim it later but yes, it'll fit.
Do you think I can add some of these uprights to my RM4? Is the spacing the same?
Side by side it's difficult to see much of a difference. A few millimeters at best.
Bells next color option should be stainless...at least in the uprights.
Think their Hydra now has a dark green and a purple option. Not what I would have chosen for their first foray into offering color options, but at least it’s starting to be more than just black. Stainless with grind marks is my fave finish on gym gear for sure though.
Anyone know how much height (if any) the multigrip pullup bar will add to the manticore? ... I'm thinking of going with the Rogue Monster crossmembers to add an inch or so of height ...
Not sure but you can always mount the crossmembers lower or mount the pullup bar inverted. I have a Elite FTS rack right now and the multi grip adds several inches. In my old house I just mounted it upside down no problems
Do you mean for the UHMW, the Surplus Strength looks better than Bells? As Bells as Shiny UHMW and easier to look beaten up?
Yeah. Bells is shiny and get knicked and beat up looking very easily. The gloss look creates a very deep contrast when hit. That's why everyone else uses a texture
Had the opportunity to test bells, rogue and rep at the arnold sports festival. I have to say, Rep and Rogue are just at another level of quality and finish. I haven't used any titan stuff, but I'm guessing that bells/titan/so-so import brands, etc. of the world... are all pretty similar lower/mid tier - getting most of their stuff out of a catalog or with a minor tweak. The attachments at bells felt unpolished/a bit loose or clunky, while the stuff in Rogue/Rep booth felt so much better in terms of quality and function.
If I'm buying a rack for life, than I'd still go with Rep or Rogue. Buy once/cry once.
This is an interesting perspective as REP is made in china.?
@@artsim5977 Speaking to the quality, not the location of the machine/robotics. I'm from Germany and good brands can be made all over the world. Our cars (Audi/Mercedes/BMW) are regarded as better fit and finish than a lot of USA car brands. Granted, they often cost more.
Agreed to an extent. When it comes to the utility of the rack I think the substantial cost savings is worth it. 3x3 11g steel with 1 inch holes is going to be the same. With the exception maybe being the paint work.
As for attachments I agree. I ordered the Manticore and some attachments from Rogue. I also wanted the lat tower which Rogue doesn't offer and REP sale for black friday ended the first week of November which is silly IMO.
Hey bud. How simular are the bells roller j cups compared to titans. Im trying to find buffalo blocks for manticore roller j cups.
I'd avoid Bells rollers. It's the same design as the Hydra version where 1 weld was holding the front on and there were a few that that weld didn't hold up.
@GlucksGym woaah sounds dangerous" how is that legal to continue selling lol. What do you recommend for a buffalo block setup ?
Does the bells latpulldown/low row fit in the rogue rack?
The Bells website says no, but I think if you swapped the top crossmember it would work.
It'll fit but you will probably have to swap the top crossmember since Bells isn't flush. I did line to up the brace and other stuff on my Rogue when we were swapping the racks around. Bells Lat low does have the ability to be adjusted for height but I still think you may have to swap that rear top.
Do the Rogue trolly arms fit on the Manticore rack?
I’ve seen them installed on Rep racks, so I bet they work even better on Manticore.
Yes they do. Same exact fit between the two racks. They're a little loose but they're a little loose on Bells too. It makes it easier to get them on and off and doesn't really affect performance.
Somewhat random question, but this video triggered it: do you know if the Sorinex Bulldog Pad fits on a REP PR 5000 upright?
I ordered one, but your discussion of pins on metric racks here has me worried…
I would also like to know this. Let me know how it fits when you get it installed.
@@danielpetraglia595 the Garage Gym Review article seems to specifically say it’ll work with the pr-5000. I wish I could find a picture or someone who actually tested this to confirm, but I suppose I’ll know in a couple of weeks.
GGR has a video where he says it fits on the REP PR 5000 V2. It would depend on how recently you bought your PR 5000. The only one available on their website now are 1 inch holes and 2 inch spacing.
@@imadork123 yeah, mine was a very recent purchase, so it sounds like it should work.
@@imadork123I bought it in July so should be good. Thanks for the info and help.
The Keyholes are to accept both versions of the Massenomics drink spotter.
I wish I had your gym. My wife won't let me get any more racks. I mean, our bed will fit right between the uprights. Nothing wrong with that, right? Great for box squats!
We call that a canopy rack
@@GlucksGym Genius! I can mount a new rack to my car and then I can squat where ever I go.
Well well well, only guy the Manicore huh?
I need to know... This or the Hydra?!
If price isn't an issue I'd go with a 1" rack because they're better supported especially through third parties
Imperial measurements came from the U.K.
I've got Rogue RM3 so I'm pumped to see all these new attachments. Rogue is grossly overpriced
What’s wrong with the leg roller for rep?
11:47 The mount isn't needed so it's larger and more expensive than it needs to be.
asking about the Rep roller @12:03@@ilyas2631
I can see how that's confusing. I'm saying avoid the Bells one. Rep's is fine just not near the level of Rogue's or Surplus. The Bells one is poop
Thanks! You may have swayed me to get the rogue rollers instead of reps haha
I love Bells but I honestly wished they copied Rep instead of Rogue. I would rather try to buy the Bells for cheap and mix and match with the more affordable Rep and Titan attachments and products.
I think the idea is/was that metric racks are all pretty compatible already and Rogue left a gap for someone to step in.
@@GlucksGym I would say, especially being in Canada where Bells is cheaper (and Rogue is even more expensive) - I would definitely take Bells over Rogue and maybe add in a few Rogue attachments. However, I really think a lot of Rogue buyers are buying for the brand so it will be interesting to see how many will switch for the cost savings.
rep needs to drop the adonis already, man this teaser is too.....teasing

Me talk good
You seemed so concfidant too!
I appreciate the budget and value from bells of steel. I would still pick usa made for rack. I save the china made stuff for dumbbells and machines 😂.
Rogue's Jcups are horrible. People have been expressing their concern about the jcups damaging their barbell, and they haven't changed anything. They definitely don't listen to customers' feedback like how Rep and Bells do.
I'm guessing you mean the standard cups? Because the sandwich cups are fantastic.
metric vs american?
metric is international, which includes the US
imperial is the term you mean for american.
