I've been out of the gym so long now that Coop is starting to look like he actually lifts

"Is that a blackjack?" It's a club, Coop. Blackjack is a game. Not to be confused with Jack Black, or a black deadlift jack

Listen here bud, any piece of equipment would work right now.

Say what you want, I've used change plates as a deadlift jack, and totally prefer the dead wedge. I love that thing.

Coop: "Dead Wedges are useless, just use a change plate." Also Coop: "The genesis jack is a great piece of equipment and only costs 3x as much as a Dead Wedge!"

I'll wait for the Titan version of the Iron Neck. But they'll probably use set screws to tighten it to your skull

I've been rolling weights over change plates for years lol

"The reason you would buy this is because you like the aesthetics..." "For most people I definitely wouldn't suggest it, it's way overboard, it's way too expensive..." This is the number 3 USEFUL item? Come on, man.

I have a dead wedge. It's simple, convenient, and works as good or better than any jack I've used..

I actually really like this video. I am addicted to buying useless gym equipment, but I have run out of ideas. Keep making these!

Deadwedge the only company that refused to sponsor this video I guess

That's why they're called change plates. Cuz you use them to change your plates.

5:42 Coop finally revealing the secret behind how he can afford so much equipment 🤣

Where's your jawzrsize holder?

One benefit of the deadwedge that I don't think is explored enough: Resetting the bar position. The floor at my gym isn't super great, so the bar tends to settle in weird positions. Dead wedge gives you a place to set it so it don't go moving all the damn time.

The iron is definitely useful. My neck has gotten thicker and stronger cuz of it. Definitely recommend if you’re a martial artist.

The iron neck is actually used by formula 1 drivers often to combact g forces

nah bro. I'm still using my dead wedge every session.

You are right about the dead wedge I was taught by my dad to roll the loaded barbell onto an unused plate to add or remove plates as an adolescent six months ago my 52-year-old self saw and purchased a dead wedge used it once, or twice now I'm back to the original method which my dad learned as a teenager in Vietnam If it ain't broke...

When it come to the deadlif thing I always just lifted to the rack handle thing and just change it. It might be a waste of energy but I never though about just putting something underneath the bar to easily change weight

Agree with a lot of things, but with that said, Dead Wedges are not useless. Especially if the gym you go to doesn’t have a plethora of change plates laying around or if it’s busy at the time you go. Dead Wedges are small, light enough, and cheap enough to bring with you in your bag. If anything there was useless it’s the T-Bell.

I used pipe flanges from the plumbing section of Home Depot to keep my rack from shifting. Screwed them into my platform behind the back legs and its saved me from having to bolt the rack down in my rental.

for the Iron Neck: its used by racecar drivers as well cause otherwise they wouldnt be able to resist the G's pulled in cornering

Instead of deadwedge, DL jack, or change plates... consider this “easy on the floor” alternative. Dead lift off of a 4x6 x 3/4 horse mat as follows. Orient the bar parallel to the 4 ft side. The bar ends will extend well beyond the edges of the horse mat. Any weights you add will clear the ground because of the 3/4 in mat thickness. When loaded, 3-4 plates will rest on the horse mat, but you can easily add/remove plates because of the overhang. Key advantages: you never have to roll or manipulate the bar. Weights go on and off like a piece of cake. My gym floor is all horse mats. I had one extra mat, so I doubled up. I wish I had done this years ago. Enjoy!

I like the dead wedge...it has the little ramp to roll up easier. Once that bar loads up I think it will roll up the wedge angle much easier than going against the square edge of a plate. If you don’t want them send them to me 😀😀😀

Was a bit worried for that dog there for a minute.

i just had my first deadlift session in my new homegym :)

That zoom on the longest thing I've ever held - 💀💀💀💀 Those neck devices are used a lot by aspiring race car drivers and professionals for all of the G Force load on your neck.

I really thought the ThighMaster was gonna make the list somewhere.

I disagree on the dead wedges. I have had my share of weights roll off the small plates. They never roll off the dead wedge. That was $20 well spent.

The neck thing also makes sense in a rehab context. So many dumb crazy things become common sense in specific rehab contexts.

Changing weight on change plates sucks. Did it for a year, it's surprising how annoying they are. Jacks are the way to go, but I imagine the wedge is a lot cheaper.

A lot of the equipment you review is breath taking. That T bell you reviewed is great and I actually had a design for that but for compound equipment.

Holy cow just saw the price of the Iron Neck there's already a head harness (I own one) it's nothing fancy just a leather strap around your head with a chain hanging down your neck to load weight for a fraction of the price to hit different angles you can lay on a bench in different angles.

Deadlift jack and neck exercise machine is great ,i need to get those two

Love your one liners, it’s not the longest thing I’ve held in my hand 🤣😂😂🤣😂... love your content , big hello from Dublin.. thanks for your time, it’s much appreciated 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪

Genesis Jack's are cheap???? the f are you talking about coop. That costs over 100 plus shipping and you have to load both sides of the bar separately. A titan full deadlift jack cost me $65 and had free shipping and works much better than any small jack. Only recommend a single side jack like the genesis jack to people who train at commercial gyms and want to take one in their gym bag.

Coop. You need to buy the Tower 200. It is a body by jake product. It’s nothing new. It’s made to be hung on a door. But if you have a 2 by 2 power rack you can connect it to the rack. Great for warm ups and Accessory work.

You can also roll the inner plate onto the end of your lifting belt. I still bought the dead wedge and prefer it. The small plates at my gym are all iron.

The most useful thing was that motivational sticker on the plate. Pink frosting with sprinkles is why you're lifting to start with...

Coop is getting jacked! 💪🏻

I've seen people re-rack a bar on the flat section of the top of the sorinex j cup, have it roll off, hit the actual J cup part of the J cup, bounce off, hit the pins and bend the bar. they need to be thinner (overall), longer or angle up

so you just told us that the deadlift jack at the beginning, that probably costs over $100, was "useful" and the deadlift wedge, that probably costs $10, is useless????? why wouldn't you just use a change plate all the time Coop???? because it isn't pretty, right Coop????? you just want cool stuff to show people you have on youtube and to impress your so-called "clients". i like a lot of your stuff and a lot of it is helpful but i'm gonna call a spade a spade

Thanks Dad!

looks pretty useful to me... seems like you had a lot of fun with it in the end

I cut 2 dead wedges out of a scrap wood (2x4's) - there you go, free dead wedges ;) (Btw I use them)

“Not the longest thing I’ve ever held”😂😂😂

Excluding competitive athletes or lifters.. full sets of bumper plates is useless for the extra cost. A good 45 lb set of bumper plates and the rest iron will save a lot of money, especially bought second hand

I made a deadlift jack using a 2x6 and copying the design of the Genesis. It’s nothing special but in 10 minutes I made one that works.

HA Ha ha! Dead wedge getting more screen time than the useful items there at the end! Thank you for sharing.

The Oak Club James hook is ideal for anyone that has the Henny system and wants to make sure the bar never comes back and hits their rack. Not suggesting anyone let their bar swing back into them, just saying the Jcup offers the most protection.

The swing thing… I use the weight holder from my pulley system and put a clip on the top and add a handle and does that

I combined your cable pulley with the t bar pipe together. Super dope

1:46 that's what I been saying all these times!

Glad someone finally said it about the dead wedge. Credit to them for selling people on them, but if you want a jack, get a jack. Otherwise find a 2.5 or a 5 and save some money.

Coop, you are freaking nuts! I love you man. I am hooked on your channel. You should have been a stand up comedian!!! = ))

Coop looks like he lift weights, in the thumbnail! Hitting those camera angles like a Instagram model.

They’ve had the Hammerhead Shark fitness lat pull down attachment for a couple of years, if not longer. It’s awesome too.

homemade deadlift jack: roll it onto another weight and load up.

Could you do a comparison review on adjustable dumbbells?? Keep killing it Coop!

those deadlift jacks you showed looks fantastic and damn even worth buying two of those and not having a giant one taking up so much space!

Was hoping you would reveal your new equipment you’ve been working on in this vid!... it’s fine, I’ll keep waiting Coop....waaaiting.

Tons of comedy gold here brother

Do the all useless video! That Would be great

Good video. What is the best functiunal training rack, in terms off quality and price? It’s a good theme for the next video.

great vid and beautiful looking pups esp that one @12:00!

I thought those J-hooks looked great. Then I saw the price. Holy Hell, Hannah!

Nice cheap addition has been the spud inc hamstring curl foot attachment.

Lovin this channel...useful information that most never hear.

Can you please make a video on how you a good T-bell and some other cool cable attachments for a Pulley system

The Iron Neck looks like that thing Doc Brown was wearing in BttF when Marty ends up in the past

Listen up here Daddy Coop, my bff bought me a hot pink deadlift wedge I happen to use to hold the back door open when I’m having a cook out! Not entirely useless!

I appreciate your in-depth review. Is it possible to do a quick review of the black rack in the background in the 13th minute? Thinking of buying one of those;)

That James Hook could mitigate the need to move the J-Hooks back and forth if two people with different heights are squatting. The taller person would just have to squat down further to un-rack the bar.

You should review the Shake Weight Dumbbell while utilizing the ThighMaster!!!

coop can you make a review on dip/pull up belts?

You should do a review on Beaverfit or connex box gyms! They’re popular with the military but I had no idea they were used commercially too

Out of these, i think the deadlift jack is the best one, although yeah most of them are crummy, i would consider buying that

@5:25 you can use a strap and A carabiner to create that attachment point for cable work

Great video Coop, thanks.

I use my dead wedge all the time. I hate running my heavy weights over my change plates - lol.

I use a pair of dead wedges as chocks to stop my barbell from rolling into my garage door due to the slope of the floor. Lifting the actual bar? That's what the mini jack is for.

Try rolling 500+ worth of iron plates onto a 2.5. Deadwedge is much easier.

Best thing about this video is the dawg.

U can do like Klokov when changing weights: put a plate on the ground, roll the weights on the bar over the whole plate on the ground leaving only the tip

I use a deadwedge every time i deadlift. i love them. I keep them in my gym bag. i dont want to roll 500 lbs + over a change plate. Use more than 95 lbs next time.

Great video as usual, Coop. @ 12:30 of the video looks to be a CNC plywood arc with several hand hold positions attached to a lat pulldown. I have never seen anything like that. Can you do a video on what that is and how you use it? Or reply with a comment with a link to where you purchased? I would like to know more!

Hey coop do you have a video on how to restore that black look on stall mats mine are looking brown lol

I sometimes use my belt as a wedge. I think I saw that tip on Calgary Barbell.

Yeah, I had a good laugh at the iron neck!!!!

I talked to the iron neck folks last summer at the nsca con, they were targeting it entirely at football and contact sports.

My wife bought me a dead wedge for christmas the best use I found for them is to keep the bar from rolling off when doing block pulls. Though yeah not necessary

You blew my mind TWICE breh

Hey Coop, can you do a review on the stealth leg press rack attachment? It looks pretty unique and allows you to turn your power rack into a leg press. Due to the angle of the attachment, it seems a lot better than the cheaper titan version.

I work out with my brother in law who is much taller than me and he kills my uprights when we squat, those jcups would be great for when you need 2 different height cups!

That logo was a club😉. I need to cop one of those jacks. Thanks!!

I needed an extra reason to spend the money on change plates. Thanks, Dad. Still not buying 35s. Can we go out and play catch now?

I think the wedge is far better than a single side deadlift jack, those things are a ridiculous waste of money

I like your ideas. Might try out the Tbell.

Coop is training muscle groups with the iron neck nobody has ever seen before😂😂
