I really like the Pegasus seat. This thing is expensive, but I find it packs a lot of utility in a smallish space. It is pretty heavy, which can be challenging to get into the right position. My use case is as a lat seat for my dialed motion Ibex lat pull down. I do think the center handle is a bit wide and if you aren't mindful will dig into your thighs and is oddly a lot more uncomfortable than you would think. That said, I do get great use for rows out of it as well. I store this overhead on my rack and it stows away great. The weight issue comes into play there, but this is likely a less common use case so not a big knock against it on that. The attention to detail on this thing is next level. Magnetic pin, knurling on the main handle, under lip for your fingers to grip onto, numbering on the knee pad slots. This thing had a lot of thought put into it and it shows.

I have done a video first impressions video on this and you can find that on my youtube. After some time using it, my opinions are pretty similar to my first impressions. The angle is good, the feel is cheap, and it is way over priced. Comparable attachments (aluminum) are about half the cost. This is almost the same cost as Rogue whose bar is basically their curl bar (which is a bent Ohio bar). You can feel and see on the bends where the machine left dents in the knurling. It also uses plastic spacers that just look and feel cheap. I hope they hold up. A good thing about aluminum attachments is they weigh less so you don’t have to factor the offset or extra weight as much into your cable movement.

This is just like your tried and true tricep rope that you have likely used before at a commercial gym. I do like that feel, but I will say that the end knob is uncomfortable for tricep extensions and rope curls. I do prefer the BFAS for these movements. If I am programed for these I often sub out for the BFAS, but still sometimes use these. I have heard that Rogue makes a tricep rope that is a bit more comfortable on the end knobs, but I have not tried that out. If that is true, then I would say getting that would be worth the extra money.

I am a big fan of the quality of equipment that Ghost came out with. I am sad they are gone, but happy that Rogue keeps a few things in production. These work great and make it setting the bar so much easier. I will say that after seeing them, I do prefer the Bremmy rollers, but these are still a solid alternative. I also have the camber bar replacement cup so the plan is for these to become camber bar j cups once I have the Bremmy rollers. The camber bar cup replacement takes a couple minutes to change out. I have done it, but would recommend it as a regular practice. They do help keep a camber bar positioned correctly to stop that tipping or flipping effect that sometimes occurs if you are not careful.

These are a solid upgrade, but are a bit bulky if you move your j cups around often. I think the 1” version would likely be a better fit for most. A benefit to the 2” is if you are loading weight on an earthquake bar, the 2” surface area decreases how easily it tips (If you don't know an earthquake bar can tip pretty easy when loading weight if you are not careful about it).

Mutant metals are creating a great ecosystem around their handles and the UDA is a great way to start into that line. On its own it is a great product, but after this initial buy you will have several other options open up at a relatively low price point. I don’t find that I change out the width, but I do use the detachable handles for other movements so I am glad that it is set up the way it is. The thicker handles are worth the upgrade in my opinion as it feels better on your wrist and hand during the dip, but the standard handles are still great if you decide to save a couple bucks.

I had the drink spotter lite prior to this and this quickly took its place as the main drink spotter on my rack. Crazy strong magnet that can hold up to any drink size that I have put in it. With a little trimming, it can also fit a horse stall mat coaster! This is not feedback about the quality of the product and is very nit picky, but a word of advice to those who own or buy it. Make sure you really tighten down the magnet when you get it. Over a year of hard re racks and heavy drinks mine did get a little loose and I noticed it tipping to the side. It was super easy to tighten up and now I just add it to my maintenance routine with the gym. In all honesty, every time I have checked it since it has been as tight as when I tightened it so it may have just been mine or is just a thing to do when you get it and then you never have to worry about it.

I am a big fan of this lat bar. Odd thing to say about a lat bar, but this thing is made so well. They have a cheaper version out that is not stainless and I have had hands on that. You can go with the cheaper one and have just as good of experience. I would only pick the stainless if you really care about having stainless or if you like the silver color more than black (which I do). The knurling is very similar to an Ohio bar. Maybe a tad gripper, but I could be wrong. It is heavy so that is something to account for when in use as it will offset the weight on the pull. The full knurl is also great for keeping a nice grip on any hand position you like or need. I plan on getting the straight bar as well one day, but this does work the same as that. I have several other types of attachments that I can use for lat pull downs, but since that is a staple lift for me (and for most), I like having variability. Having an OG lat pull down bar is a must in my opinion for the home gym. Might as well make it a really nice one!
