My DIY reverse hyper mounts to a rack and swings down when not in use. It works great and takes up minimal footprint. To be fair though I don’t often use the reverse hyper but when I do, I’m glad I have it!

This 2002 Louie Simmons original reverse hyper is the real deal. No frills, just built to make you stronger. The swing is smooth but unforgiving. It’s got that old-school Westside feel you can’t fake. I’ve made a few minor mods to keep it practical. 3D printed foot pad risers so it takes 45s on the weight horns, fresh bike grips from a local shop, and swapped the bottom bolt for a hitch pin to quickly change from the roller attachment to a reverse hyper strap. It’s surprisingly versatile too. I can sit on top for leg extensions, use the roller for lying leg curls, clip on a triceps strap for rows or face pulls, and of course run it as intended with roller or strap for reverse hypers. Newer machines might look nicer, but they don’t have the same history or character. This one works.

Built this years ago. It actually worked pretty well. I never got around to making a way to add weight and then it got ran over by a dump truck so that was the end of that.

This one I made id from wood, but I'm currently in the process of making somthing similar with the REP utility seat. I find that stand alone reverse hypers become gym storage shelves, so this takes up less space and works perfectly

I'd love to see if anyone else has any DIY reverse hyper builds.

I built this to help with posterior chain issues. It gets the job done. It is definitely not as nice as a manufactured one. The sound it makes while moving is loud/annoying. The value is that it has helped me out, and it was less than $100 to build. This drink holder may be replaced at some point, just not yet.
