You already know 😏

The hitch pins go in the side of the carriage. So technically you only need a rack with at least 2 side of holes. I would recommend just getting a rack with 4 way holes for optimal isolator usage.

I got a video on it coming soon. I didn’t want to make a video quickly as I needed to get my thoughts together about it

@@andie_pl definitely better to give a thorough review than a rushed one, keep up the good work brother

Working on it now bro stay tuned 🫡

Soon!!! I have some other videos to push out first but I’ve had this piece for a few weeks and need to get my thoughts together on it. Appreciate your interest

@@andie_pl great. I don’t think there is a review for this one and def want to hear more about it before purchasing it myself

lmaoo i put 25s assumed it was gud to go

appreciate that rory!!

im just trying to get like you bro

why werent you there to spot

🤣 i really be posting the most random videos of stuff I am using LOL. I am definitely planning more machine specific reviews in the future 👀

We second that ;)

Yeah I was going to say the same thing... Move the weight closer to the end, away from the pivot point.

Someone about to be like “my handles now”

It’s the temple of gainz pendulum! Its pretty good, just very pricy but what pendulum isn’t nowadays 😅

@@andie_pl I wish I had room for one 😫

I saw those as well! I considered the fitarc handles but I went with the flexx grips because of seeing Dylan J. use them on his machines and I had a similar application. I didn’t need the lock-in adjustable handle feature and opted for the freely rotating handle instead. The wider hook I think would be more stable for machine handles specifically. I am sure you could probably use both the same way I am using them here and it just comes down to personal preference.

?

it did 😅😅

@@andie_pl can’t stop won’t stop 😤

the dlitiana special bro

stay tuned huge VTS vid cooking

The Flexx Lit now

That is the havak triad plate for the adjustable havak triads. I don’t think they make these plates anymore because they updated to the second version of the adjustable triad

Good points, there needs to be a quick adjust latch for sure. Since the iso handles don’t come with their own hooks you gotta switch them out to a barbell if you wanna use different bars

Not sure what the weight limit is! In one of my shorts I did a megalith handle deadlift max out and it held up pretty well around 6 plates each trolley arm. I would say these are definitely made more for rep work rather than maxing

@@andie_pl perfect thanks. I mostly use them for upper body work anyways so that usually caps out at 3-4 plates per side. Have you tried rogues rotating handles? I have those but don't find them smooth and they extend the arm length which is not ideal for me as I use the short arms inside my rack.

@@nickc3365 yes the articulating handles from rogue aren’t as versatile, I just have mine setup forever as pull-up bar handles. The megalith handles should be able to handle the 3-4 plates each side but it might have a hard time spinning depending on the movement. When I was doing the megalith handle maxout on trolley arm deadlifts they were definitely stressed

Appreciate that advice!! Thats how I’ve been unracking, when I rerack I just hope it catches 😅

the one time… bust it down…

The clear grind looks nice, personally I am a bigger fan of the dock than the anchor 😅

@@andie_pl I agree, the anchor wouldn't work for me as I have the Rhino belt squat inside my rack. I'll likely use the dock on the back of my rack. Thanks for the video!

It is right about 12” from the lever arm. This is with all the washers and hardware installed without any changed

@@andie_pl Did the handle continue to rust or you were able to remove the rust? How do you like to it far? Any downside? thanks

@@TheGhu123 the rust was more surface level and because it was in the thread of the handle you can’t really brush it off. I sprayed some wd-40 in it and called it a day lol. there hasnt been anymore rust issues but if you train in a humid area its going to rust even more. I like the handles a lot in terms of feel and think it’s worth the upgrade if you have lever arms to use them with. If you don’t mind waiting rorman has stainless handles now as well as making a thicker handle down the line.

@@andie_pl I see that you have his stainless nut. How's the quality? I have Rogue knurl nut and want to know if it's worth getting the stainless. thanks

@@TheGhu123 It’s pretty solid, the knurl is more passive than the handles but I like that you can basically have 2 knurled nuts next to each other. The rogue ones have an edge in my book because they have the built in washer. If you do metal on metal contact it’s going to scratch whatever you have. I already have scratch marks from the stainless nut on my racks.

It depends, I’d say go with the longer ones if you want something to catch your squat if you fail. The longer ones will just give you more holes and usable length. If you want lighter and plan to use your spotter arms for more utility/accessory work like doing dips inside your rack the 18s might be a better choice. Here I am running the 22” spotter arms.

Thank u​@@andie_pl

Mine came with weight horns but I assumed they did because I bought the iso handles. I don’t know if they are a standard item

i appreciate that mike!! just trying to be straight forward and answer questions i might have myself 😅

Hey! Its pretty sturdy and fits most of my benches. It fits the rogue AB-2 and prime fitness adjustable bench. It works well and doesn’t slip that much. The annoying thing is adjusting the belt strap it comes with, you have to set it first and then buckle it in. You can’t get it as snug after you buckle it in. I think you can also ask abmat for a longer strap as well if you have a large width bench. My favorite use for it is doing seated bench work

@@andie_pl Right on. I have the Rep AB 5200 2.0 with the standard 12" pad on it. Thank you for the reply.

Yes they sell it separately for $74.99. You can use my code or any other affiliate codes to save 10%. Shipping would probably be a flat rate fee

@@andie_pl what’s your code

My code is ANDIE, thanks for asking

It is because it hooks that come with the VTS do not fit 35mm, I tried fitting it on the handle to use the rack holes but the clamp on the hook is too small and this is the way I saw it possible. you can always place more band pegs/magpins so you can start from a bottomed out position. I wouldn’t try to max out with the uda handles but it does fit the VTS

@@andie_pl any worry about the hook slipping off the mag pin? Visually looks barely secured to it

@@MurphGymExperiment for what its worth when I tested this I grabbed the handle and held myself up while it was latched to the magpin/band peg. I am about 190lbs and it held up. I would say be-careful if you are doing a lot of dynamic exercises and latching really quickly. I think as long as theres no movement or play with your magpin you should be good. Yes visually it doesn’t look like it’s holding on by a lot but after testing it, it does work. I have the iso handles as well. Bulletproof also makes latches designed to latch to a band peg/ magpin. I don’t have those latches so thats why I just used what my vts came with.

@@andie_pl that’s awesome lol thanks for the info!

appreciate that carter! its been an endless cycle of buying and selling 😅

@@andie_pl I know ALL about it 😆

Tell them I sent you 😅

FOR AGATHA!!!! AHHHHHH!

appreciate that sire 🫡🫡

mm handle nunchucks coming soon bro
