Love my Maverick bar, which I discovered on this channel. I got it to work around nagging injuries. At my age I'll probably always have a use for it. It's rough around the edges as far as build quality goes, but it works great. With all it does for the money I don't really have many complaints.

I got the isolator a couple weeks ago and it's awesome. I'm still learning all the things you can do with it, but it's worth the price. I think Bulletproof Fitness is the most innovative company right now as far as the home gym goes. I'll be getting the VTS when it comes out too. Those ISO arms look wild, but very functional too.

Thanks for including us Gluck! FYI, here is a video covering the small upgrades we made to the Hyper. Nothing groundbreaking, but each of these make using the Hyper a bit easier! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7Jka9CUktSofqs.html For those of you who already have Hypers, you're not missing out. We made sure you get every last major feature possible :)

@freakathleteco 3 ай бұрын

Hey, I'm so sorry that it seems like you're missing out with the new changes on the Nordic Hyper. I totally understand that since you preordered in advance. For full clarity, here are all of them: 1. Colored knobs (to help know what to grab for adjustment) 2. The back extension pads now slide side to side (instead of using the sit-up pad to fill the gap) 3. The step up bar now folds away (to prevent hitting when dismounting back extension mode) 4. We added a handle on the top of the back extension pads to make adjustment easier (instead of grabbing the frame itself) All of these changes make the Hyper easier to use but don't fundamentally change the product. For someone who's had the Hyper for a few months already such as you, they wouldn't change the experience since you are familiar with which knobs to pull, you have the upgrade kit including the sit-up pad, you're used to the placement of the step-up rod, and you're used to adjusting the back extension height. We did everything possible to include all major features in the first round of Hypers including the late upgrades of hip thrust mode and decline sit-up mode. How are you liking it so far? We hope you are loving it just as much as we are! If you need anything whatsoever, let us know here, on Instagram, or on email at support@freakathlete.co -Benji (Founder)

The isolator has exceeded my expectations. It's so well built and solid. I'm 6ft 3, 300lbs, lift heavy weights and this thing is solid. Yes I need a bench to support their pad when I do leg extensions but that's it so far. They are supposedly building a kick stand for their pad to suport it further for those who exceed the weight limit so cant wait for that. I'm waiting on the long arm to have even more functionality and the solo stand so I can use it even more. They have so many exciting new additions I cant wait.

I noticed that several items featured in the video mount in the same location on a rack. I wonder if you could do a video showing the best mix of rack attachments for those of us with only one rack? It’s would be a challenge video where you need to find the combination of attachments that don’t conflict with each other that gives you the widest range of exercise options. Another video idea - short, rackable barbells for of us with low ceilings (89” for me) who also need to store barbells vertically. I know Rogue has a shorty version of the Ohio bar, but what about specialty bars?

Updates include: -Different colored knobs so you can get through the learning curve quicker. -The Step-Rod is now built in and able to fold in easily so its one less step in assembly! -We've added a small handle right under the back extension pads to make it easier to lift when switching between modes. -The Back Extension pads now slide together so you will no longer need the small sit-up pad. Same functionality, just a few small changes to make it even easier to use!

The wobble and stability of the seat / pad on the Isolator is the only thing holding me back from purchasing. The wobble is pretty noticeable in every review that I have watched. I'll purchase wants a new version comes out that addresses this.

@ChrisHelson-wr7sh 12 күн бұрын

There's so many moving parts and places to adjust to different angles, I think it'll be impossible to get all the wobble out. I've got one and I weigh 260 lbs. There's some wobble but it's very minimal as long as I snug down all the tension screws and bolts. It's still built like a tank I use it for almost every body part! Even with the wobble, it's still worth the money!! Just my 2 cents though 12:15
