I like your videos and reviews. Everything is so honest and genuine. I’m looking into buying a functional trainer for my garage gym and debating on some brands. But this video is great to start off my attachment list! 👍🏽
That pushdown is SICK! American Barbell has a good rep for their quality. Once mine goes to the crapper, I’m buying this 100%. The rogue handles are affordable too and seem super solid!
Great group of attachments! I can confirm reps attachments are top notch. I have both their pro series close grip attachment and their pro series 48” lat bar. Both are way overbuilt!
Great collection of attachments. I just got the Prime RO-T8 handles and they're the best I've ever used. You should give them a look. Amazon has some way cheaper knockoffs but I wanted them in black so I got the Prime versions. Couldn't be happier with them
Hi! How you like the knurling on the AB V Bar in comparison with the Pro series straight bar knurling?..Any differences in the triangular back attachment between the American barbell and the Rep Pro series.....Great Videos!!!!!!
I have the rep cable multi grip bar, Rogue D handle, Rogue Lat Pulldown, Rogue tricep V grip, Rogue row handle and Rep tricep rope that I use for face pulls.
Good video! I've been hesitant to buy the mag grips because I feel I would only us 1 or 2 of them. Recently, I've been eyeing a few of the Prime Fitness cable attachments.
This video was good, but I wish you would’ve addressed price just a bit more. For example, the Rogue D handles are sold INDIVIDUALLY, so a pair would be $80, which is crazy even though they’re great attachments. REP sells a pair of similar (tho not quite as overbuilt) for $45 as a pair
The REP multiangle with knurling caught my eye. I wasn't expecting that, but it really grabbed my attention. Maybe it's the knurling. In any case, 50 bucks doesn't seem too bad for it. If I purchase, I'll head to your link!
This was a fantastic video. Thank you! I wonder how the rep steel D handle holds up against that rogue. Seems like it’s thicker at 32mm and also has a sharper knurl from the looks of it Also, that curl bar attachment from rep sure is a nice find, does it allow for swivel? I need to get that one, looks like a great shape
The D handles are way over built honestly and will last forever. Bare Steel company just came out with a set of D handles that look promising so check those out also. The curl bar swivels on a bushing style rotation from the looks of it. I haven't taken it apart. Thanks for watching!
@@MacStrengthCo thank you kindly sir. I aspire to have a home gym like yours one day! Glad to see you appreciate the equipment as much as I do, I thought I was the weird one in my friends group

@@MacStrengthCo First lot fell through--needed too much prep and the seller wouldn't come down on price. Second lot wasn't viable. Third lot got a much higher offer than ours, so we lost it. But the search continues... :-)
Next weeks video will feature some unique fat bars I bought. I have the globe pull up system and think all those sphere type of aids are great for training but I'm old school and seem to grab the normal equipment most often.
Fatboy Fitness checking in here. The thing I dislike about the Rep attachments is that they are mostly out of stock. I remember trying to buy their curl bar attachment forever. Luckily an ivanko one came up for sale on Amazon so I got that one at the time
Spiral strength dually tricep rope. Those rope attachments are inferior after I just discovered this thing.. Much better range of motion with flexible longer rope.
Thank you. Straight to the point and maybe good suggestions.
your welcome. cheers!

Cool! Gives you a basic idea of what we use. Glad it helped.👍🏻
How timely!! I just finished setting up my cable pulley system and shopping for attachments!!
Hope you like it!
Nice attachments. Definitely have to keep an eye out for those rogue ones. Also the American barbell tri pusdown one is nice. Good stuff!
Ya those are great!👍🏻
You're gym is really cool

That is awesome!
@@MacStrengthCo How does the knurling feel on the American Barbell tricep bar? Is it passive or aggressive?
@@DERDM it's good. Not too aggressive just right.
Great group of attachments! I can confirm reps attachments are top notch. I have both their pro series close grip attachment and their pro series 48” lat bar. Both are way overbuilt!
Agreed. Pro series is well worth the small price increase. 👍🏻
Your chest looks awesome 👍.
Great collection of attachments. I just got the Prime RO-T8 handles and they're the best I've ever used. You should give them a look. Amazon has some way cheaper knockoffs but I wanted them in black so I got the Prime versions. Couldn't be happier with them
Nice! I probably will one day after I get bored of these ones.
Sweet gym! Which attachments are better between the American Barbell and Rep Pro series? And which knurling is better?
Hi! How you like the knurling on the AB V Bar in comparison with the Pro series straight bar knurling?..Any differences in the triangular back attachment between the American barbell and the Rep Pro series.....Great Videos!!!!!!
Great video but how did you get your wall control supported on the rep Functional trainer? It looks like it’s just hanging there
I have the rep cable multi grip bar, Rogue D handle, Rogue Lat Pulldown, Rogue tricep V grip, Rogue row handle and Rep tricep rope that I use for face pulls.
nice set up. Very similar to mine. Best to have a good assortment.
Good video. Thanks man
thanks! Appreciate it.
Good video! I've been hesitant to buy the mag grips because I feel I would only us 1 or 2 of them. Recently, I've been eyeing a few of the Prime Fitness cable attachments.
I need to do a mag grip vs knock off review! I'm really happy with the knock offs especially for $75 when they are on sale.
Hey, what do you think about the Rogue D handle vs the Rep D handle? Comparison and which do you prefer?
This video was good, but I wish you would’ve addressed price just a bit more. For example, the Rogue D handles are sold INDIVIDUALLY, so a pair would be $80, which is crazy even though they’re great attachments. REP sells a pair of similar (tho not quite as overbuilt) for $45 as a pair

It's a really nice bar. Let's face it $50 shipped leaves little discussion to not be happy with the purchase. Appreciate the support!
Very nice review. Do you think a spreader bar attachment like the one from Prime is worth it compared to using two ropes
Not really
I actually like the stock Rep plastic D handles over the Pro version.
my favorite is still the Rogue handles.
This was a fantastic video. Thank you!

Good stuff, brother!
Thanks! How’s the gym coming?

@@ClarksvilleBarbellClub that’s how life goes sometimes but probably all for a reason. Cheers buddy
@@MacStrengthCo Agreed! Appreciate it, brother!
What's your take on fat bar and grip training cable attachments such as spheres, nunchucks, etc?
Next weeks video will feature some unique fat bars I bought. I have the globe pull up system and think all those sphere type of aids are great for training but I'm old school and seem to grab the normal equipment most often.
MacAllister Strength Co. How did you attach the wall control to the functional trainer? Great video and good content. I love the gym setup!
That piece was an old display in a local snowboard shop I modified to fit. It’s actually self supported.
@@MacStrengthCo Ok, thank you.
Nice stuff! Do you have a preference between the PRO SERIES D CABLE HANDLE from Rep versus the Rogue SINGLE HANDLE CABLE ATTACHMENT?
They are both great. Recently I’ve been using the Rogue handles more but not sure ones better just preference.
Fatboy Fitness checking in here. The thing I dislike about the Rep attachments is that they are mostly out of stock. I remember trying to buy their curl bar attachment forever. Luckily an ivanko one came up for sale on Amazon so I got that one at the time
Check out American Barbell if Rep is out of stock. I love those one off Amazon deals! Thanks for the check it brother.
do you recommend the BACK WIDOW?
i have no experience with them.
Grazie ❤
thanks
Is that a custom attachment holder?
Yes. I have some videos soon on doing something similar
Spiral strength dually tricep rope. Those rope attachments are inferior after I just discovered this thing.. Much better range of motion with flexible longer rope.
I like my rogue handles, but would be better if they did a fatter version, I would buy a "fat handle" version in a heartbeat if they brought it out.
Solid idea honestly. I would agree fatter handles would be better.
Mag bars are the best. Chuck the Chinese ripoffs in the bin!
I've used them but a head to head review is in order. Thanks for your feedback.
