In today's video we take a look at the newly released Ghost Strong J-Cup 2.0 These are some of the most expensive (and customizable) j-cups on the market. What makes them unique is their craftsmanship and the fact they come with an integrated roller for easily centering a loaded barbell. They also feature Ghost's patented "return roller" feature which allows the bar to be in the same position every time.

Brandon Campbell Diamond just got them in. Few concerns right out of the gate-one Jcup is very tight/fits perfectly on the rack but the other is kinda loose/wobbly (even if you switch from one side to the other) wonder if there’s any adjustability to jcups? Side stickers on both side were kinda damage some/ripped up.. but overall huge upgrade for me from my original elitefts all metal clanky jcups.

I have a question, is there ANY benefit to have something like the ghost strong incline bench or competition bench compared to benching on a Rogue AB-2 or ThompsonFatPad with a monolift in a monster rack?? These products cost 3000 dollars but they don't even have a monolift and their pads are narrower, is there anything better about them?
@PronatorsaurusTricepsus
@PronatorsaurusTricepsus 4 жыл бұрын
If you are a powerlifter, yes. Practice as you play. But you get cheaper ones than 3000usd. For the regular lifters one of the few reasons is that you dont need to Center the bench everytime. And maybe it can slide some for people with very good legdrive (but this can be avoided with some "griptape" or something on the floor.

@BasementBrandon 4 жыл бұрын
I think it could be beneficial to "practice like you play" but it's up to the individual to decide if the cost increase is worth it. For most people I'd say no.

@BasementBrandon
@BasementBrandon Жыл бұрын
I think roller j cups are best suited to squats. My only issue with the Ghost ones are that they use the return feature, which puts the bar in the front of the cup. Personally I like the bar in the back of the cup for squatting so I can press into it.
@benrosenberg7972

Is there an issue when you're using the roller to adjust since it's only secured from one side? I'm getting a PR5000, which I think is only 2.95"x2.95" instead of 3"x3", so the tolerances might not be quite as tight. Do these work well on your PR5000? The rounded sandwich cups from Rep have two side securement pins, which I'm a big fan of, but I'm unsure how necessary it is.

Dimensions of rack and the collars on the bar you're using. Easy fixes: -Buy .5" or so 2" washers to act as buffers on the end of sleeves -put a thin pair of collars on the bar first before loading weight -put a 2.5lbs plate on the bar first to act as a spacer -use a barbell with a thicker collar (like a texas power bar)

I just bought the cheapest possible option of these and can’t wait for them. I really wanted a return roller and unfortunately these are still the only clear choice. I say unfortunately because the price of these is absolutely retarded. No other way to put it. I really wanted to get a custom colour but the price was absolutely fucked. On top of that, the shipping is 100 dollars. There is no better out there right now, but come on… I just payed $570 CAD for J-Cups 😂

Waste of metal to have the front face extend so far above the pin. Probably doesn’t matter unless you’re using them to bench and need the space, on the upright, above but it was obviously an issue with gen 1.

I don't think I understand, front face is the same length on both?

@@BasementBrandon I was refering to the location of the pin. I think it is too low on the original. Give the length of the front plate (vertical portion) it could have been higher. In any case, I am often adjusting my bar and will invest in these eventaully. Thanks for the review(s)!
