This is a new strength and condition machine and the closest comparison to this machine is the Concept2 StrengthErg, a machine that I got to test recently. The concepts are the same—the harder you push yourself on an exercise, the harder the machine pushes back in the concentric phase of the movement. This unique aspect is both the best part of these machines and also the reason why I would have advise caution in purchasing them. The best way I can describe the Air Rhino is that it’s a HIIT monster with strength upside. The first part is pretty self explanatory since you’ll be peeling yourself off the floor if you’re doing deadlifts or squats for time. The unique aspect of the machine and separates this from the competition is Rhino Mode, which adds magnetic resistance on top of the air damper to truly push you to the limit. The most obvious way to program this would be to set a rep total and you try to get the highest output total possible, which is something you’d be looking to improve over time. The adjustability and versatility of the Air Rhino is what sold me on it for my gym. You can manually set the start height of the rope with zero resistance to seamlessly switch between attachments and exercises. For me, my biggest sticking point has been pushing into the ground on deadlifts and this machine has helped correct that problem. Being able to set the height allows you to work the top part of the movement as well without having to fatigue yourself and pull from the ground. I really like this machine and I use it daily. It’s lightweight but is still built like a tank. If I’m not using it for sticking points or HIIT work, I’m at least using it to warm up. If you don’t think you’d use it for any of the reasons I’ve outlined or if space is tight, I wouldn’t consider this machine. This machine does not replace anything in your gym for strength training so you’ll need to weigh how important that aspect is to you given the nearly 4’x4’ footprint.

These were my go-to J Cups when I had my Monster Lite rack a couple years ago. They are pretty solid overall. If I had to nitpick, I’d say they might slide the bar a little too easily which only is annoying when loading and unloading weights. Also, any bar with decent knurling will wear down the angled rollers quicker than you’d want. They aren’t cheap so the cost of replacing the rollers have to be factored in. I would probably just stick to sandwich J Cups unless you want to opt for Bremmy ones, which are worth it

I had this when I used to own the Mammoth Belt Squat. As far as I’m concerned, this is a “must purchase” if you’re using the Mammoth. It’s easy to attach and the lever is easy to use to for flipping the kickstand down or up. The rubber piece on the bottom kept loosening and that was annoying, but it’s a good product otherwise.

It’s smaller form factor than you’d think but that’s either a good thing or a bad thing depending on the individual. To me, a little more length would be helpful and that’s definitely what she said. It’s built really well like all other Rogue products and it’s easy to mount with a good knurled nut to lock it in. Like a previous review stated, the washer is always wanting to come off but it’s not a deal breaker. I wouldn’t say this is better or worse than the competitors. I would probably buy this one again

These are well built straps used to hook the grips around whatever you need. It’s really easy to use and I frequently hook them on my pull-up bars. A sneaky good use for these is to attach one end to your cable system and the other to any attachment, which will lengthen the cable for whatever your exercise calls for. It’s especially good for cable systems like the Slim Gym, which has zero extra cable length coming out from the wall

Solid carabiner. It feels premium and has a wider opening than most out there. They fit their grips perfectly while allowing you to clip the grips into something else. It’s a good choice overall and you can’t go wrong with these

This climbing hold, like their sphere, is the perfect small form factor attachment for your rack to add variety and grip training to your routine. Installation takes a couple minutes and the holds have zero movement when in use. If you have a couple spare empty holes on your rack, you should get these

I’m a big fan of Kodo Gi Grips and where they fit into the home gym market. This grip is the first product that I purchased from the company and I love the versatility of it. You can use it for pull-ups, triceps work, pullovers, rows, and the list goes on. Want to do all your normal exercises and get some extra grip work? This is the attachment for you.
