Same Rack Attachments For HALF The Price? Hydra's Top Rack Accessories

Рет қаралды 59,016

Күн бұрын

These Bells of Steel Hydra 3x3 rack attachments will fit on a Rogue Monster Lite rack but are they really the same rack attachments for half the price? We're checking out the lat pulldown low row add on, the seal row pad, and lever arms Bells makes for their 3x3 Hydra racks to see just how good they are and if they'll fit on a Rogue or other competitor's rack.

An incline bench is defiantly better and more comfortable there because it has more support. I prefer it for rows and curls but we've used it for a lot. And thank you!

@wearypirate9882 Жыл бұрын

I was in the same situation a while ago. I did have an incline bench, a flat bench and a seal row pad. I finally gave my Incline bench away to create more room around my gym. For incline dumbbell bench, I think the seal row pad works just fine. I do train quite a bit of powerlifting, so a really nice flat bench (eg. REP FB-5000) plus a mediocre Incline bench (created by flat bench + seal row pad) for assistance work is my preferred combination. Also, I am able to train flat bench press and chest supported rows as a superset, which I always quite liked.

@Rich33527 Жыл бұрын

I get alot of use from these lever arms. I keep track of the trolley positions for each exercise in my workout tracking sheets. For someone that has limited space, these are a no-brainer imo. I made a leg press and leg extension with these. Each take about 5 minutes to set up but I equate that to the time I would have to wait for a machine to open up at a commercial gym on most days. I dont have the room for the separate machines in my garage.

i have a question, i have msg'd crandall fitness but as of yet have not gotten a response....crandall makes free swinging lever arms, which allows you to bring your hands together when doing things like machine presses. They say it fits 5/8 hole and 1in racks like the monster or monster lite. But one thing i read about hydra racks is that their 3x3 isn't really 3x3, it's slightly off. Did they do that so 'only" bells of steel attachements fit them? Since i badly want those free swing arms, this could impact my choice of racks. I really like these hydra racks tho

A bench is better but for things like spider curls I like this better. It can also be used for a lot of exercises but some, like seal rows the bench gets in the way of the movement whereas this doesn't.
