I have only had this for a few months, but I have been using it 2-3 times per week since getting it. Out of all the adjustable KBs I’ve tried, this is the one that has felt the most like a real KB. If I closed my eyes, I would have a hard time knowing the difference when in use. So yes, it does the KB job right, however, it’s not great at the adjustable part. You can adjust it and you can adjust it to just about any weight is you have your own factional 1” hole plates. As it comes it has plenty of weight range for most. The process of adjusting is such a pain though. You have to unscrew the bolt on the bottom and then unscrew the nut that is inside. What’s worse is this function is best done with it upside down and it’s very awkward/ impossible to hold that way. I have put it in my lap with some success, but it is still a process I avoid doing. I end up leaving it at max weight and just forcing myself to use that most of the time. If you only need a couple KBs then this is not for you. If you truly train KBs then this will be too much of a pain. Not really sure who this is a good fit for to truly get the intended use out of. If someone made a stand for it that held it upside down that would help a lot. Could be a great DIY.

I have been using this piece as my only dedicated flat bench for over 3 years. I got this piece primarily because how many basic things it does well at a good price. At the time, new they were $100. I did get it for $50 on FBMP. It has a single foot post which gives your feet plenty of room, competition height for powerlifting, and it’s lightweight making it easy to roll around. It will stand upright just fine, but it’s not made to do it with that in mind. The pad material is a bit slick, but the firmness and thickness is good. I do have an AB 5200 and I use that for a flat bench most of the time, but it’s nice having a second option for a guest or for movements where I need to move the bench around for whatever reason. I just checked the new price on it and I don’t think it’s worth it at $200. Get a rep bench at that price. They have much better pad material and feel for no much more.

I have been using the freak athlete hyper pro for about 1 year now. I truly believe if you’re limited on space or needing an efficient home gym that this is high on the list for things you should add to your gym. I don’t support their claims for all the workouts this can do. You CAN do them, but not well. There are a handful of things this does well and in my opinion that is more than enough reason to get this piece. What I believe this does well are: GHD movements, Nordic curls, back extensions, leg extensions/curls. I would have to have a lot more space to justify getting those 4 to 5 pieces of individual equipment as compared to how well this piece does them. This isn’t even considering cost. Some unique features this has is the angle adjustments. This has made adjusting intensity of the moment through angle possible. That is helpful for me to have more than one option for adjusting intensity, but also helpful when working out with a partner who needs a different difficulty level. It can be adjusted in seconds. It’s great and I don’t think could be done to this level for several dedicated pieces. There is some wobble, but if you tighten the knobs it’s moderate at worst. In reality I have never seen it tip even a little regardless of who I have had kn it or what they are doing. Something I don’t like is how awkward and heavy the leg extension/ leg curl attachment is. At around 30 lbs and an awkward shape, mobility isn’t great. This is a problem for a machine marketed at people in general fitness and who want something that can be put away.

I have owned the westside scout reverse hyper by rogue fitness for about 3 years. When I have used this piece it works great and is not that much different in feel than a stationary model. There is some wobble, but nothing that concerns me for still doing the movement as intended. It is possible that a taller and heavier user could have a different experience, but I have not heard or seen that occur. Generally, if you want one and don’t had a massive amount of space, this is the reverse hyper to get. Some critiques I have: Like many, I don’t end up using the reverse hyper often and it being able to fold up and put away has resulted in me using it even less. Other stuff gets stacked in front or in the way. That’s a me problem, but I’d expect for it to also happen to some people as well. It is not that bad to move around, but there is no designed place to put your hands. You end up just grabbing the side sheet metal which is awkward and uncomfortable. Since the main sell on this is that it can be folded and put away, I’d think they would make it in a way that is more optimized for that function. Overall, it’s a good value and takes very little space. I’d recommend it if you believe or have been using one regularly.

I’ve been using the RML-390F Flat Foot Monster Lite Rack in my home gym for about 2 years. Even without being bolted down, the flat-foot design keeps it stable during heavy squat and pull-ups, with no noticeable wobble. My rack is positioned on an Olympic size platform and I prefer not having my rack bolted down as I do move it back a foot or 2 to make room for floor to overhead movements. I do have the dialed motion set up on this and if I don’t have the side with weight on a stall mat it will slip. No issues with movement or slipping if I’m on a mat. As always rogue provides a good build quality with clean welds and a durable powder coat. Other brands have significantly improved their quality at a lower price, making this rack a bit lower in overall value for your dollar. An improvement I would like to see is ANY numbering on the uprights. I personally think BOS does it best with their ⅝” rack with numbers. You could write them yourself, use stickers, or magnets, but with rogue holding a slightly more premium perception I’d prefer not to write on my rack. No numbering isn’t the end of the world, but it is a noticeable few second issue that I am reminded of 1-2 times per workout. If you’re going flat foot and don’t need made in the USA, go BOS.
