I cannot get over the fact that they cost as much as a squat rack or some 70lbs powerblocks. There’s no denying that they are awesome but wow they are 3-4 times as much as I’d be willing to pay.

I received my Ghost Strong Return Roller J-Cups in the mail two weeks ago. I ordered a custom pair, to fit my Body-Solid GPR378. The J-Cups showed up in about 3 weeks from when ordered. They are great. Everyone in the family loves them. I'm just rewatching this video again now, in case I forgot any helpful tips or anything.

I just purchased these from Rogue who now manufactures them. They are $206 shipped now and have UHMW on the front of the cup. The only down side is they fit loosely on my Rep Fitness PR4000 rack but I was able to fix this by installing washers between the UHMW on the backside of the cup. Overall I’m pleased with them.

@GarageGymLab 3 жыл бұрын

Hey buddy, thanks for the comment! It's actually pretty straight forward. I used 2x3 studs to create a rectangle frame and then took another stud straight down the middle for additional support and to mount in the inner holes of the wall control. The hinges are just some heavy duty ones from Lowes. Just leveled it up and hung it to swing towards that long side wall running to the garage door. Since every space is different and has its own nuances, its hard to offer exact measurements, etc... but hopefully this will get you moving in the right direction. Let me know if I can provide any additional insight!

@benrosenberg7972 3 жыл бұрын

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.

You shouldn’t have an issue. I own the PR-5000 also and no problems with these

Worth the money? Yeah, my only issue with them is that it is the only J cup that can fit a duffalo bar. I had it fall off when unloading it (with one 25KG on the side). For me buying it would be a safety concern primarily. It's strange how there was no demand for a J CUP like this before. i hope someone picks up the idea and reproduces them at an affordable price. Genuinely afraid the bar will tip and fall on my dog or something like that.
