Very cool product and great demonstration! Thanks for sharing this!
Dang! You’re getting fit. Awesome set up. You’re really getting all the good stuff.
Nice review. Brilliant accessory for an adjustable dumbbell pair.
I purchased the curl bar version and I have to say it's great. Little tedious getting used to fitting the dumbbells in but once it's on it's on. Great workout.
Awesome Thanks for the review man!!
Very informative, thank you!
Damn so you can just attach one dumbbell on one side and use it as a sledgehammer too lol
Thanks for review. I just ordered it. Whoever thought of the idea is a genius
Got mine yesterday and I love it!
Yay! I have the core too and was wondering if it fit! Ty tysvm- can’t wait to add this baby to my home gym!!
It's a tight fit, but it works
Great review!
Do the core fitness dumbbells move around in the hyperbell housing and how's the balance?
The dumbbells are really tight in the clamps as they barely fit. I have to squeeze them pretty hard to get them locked, but once set, they are great. Balance overall is good as long as you use the same weight on both ends.
That is a great idea.
Would you please be able to tell me how thick (not estimated but measured) the open Jayfley Hyperbell clamp is?
Nowhere could I find this information and given that I have the Powerblock Sport 24 - which do not have the to barrels for the 2 cylindrical extra weights in the handle, if thin enough (34mm max) the open clamp would easily slip between handle and the single stabilizer plate at the bottom of the grip module.
If anyone knows the thickness of the opened clamp, that would be great!
Looks like a great product. My issue, however, is that when Jayflex did move "up" from the Cross Grips to the Ryze Ups, the quality went down and used more plastic rather than less, not up in quality with a product with the material of the Cross Grips. So the track record here in improving upon an original idea isn't very encouraging.
Agree, I hate the Ryze ups but love the Crossgrips. I hope they go in the right direction with any upgrades :)
@@GamerBody Let's hope so. Though, hopefully your inevitable year/2 year usage update review will be glowingly positive. Not saying anyone should wait that long before getting it. I think a 2 year warranty for this item at $139 is fair enough.
@@GamerBody
Have you thought about that Monkeyfeet for your dumbbells? That’d make a good product review video.
I have seen them come up before in ads so I may look into them. I feel like they may be a bit pointless with my other exercises, but can't knock it too much until I try it :)
Hi gameboy! I was gonna get this hyperbell bar but then i also found there is ez curlbar from jayflex as well.
Would you recommend between two?
Thanks!
I haven't tried the EZ curl bar yet so I can't provide a comparison...should be good for more isolation exercises, but again, can't really compare yet.
@@GamerBody i expect your review about ez curlbar by gameboy. 🙏 I lately watching all the contents you have uploaded 😆
I’d have liked to see how you get into a bench press or squat. If I’m squatting with 70 or 80 lb dumbbells, seems like I have to overhead press that to start , and then how do I unwind that when I’m done with my set and tired??
This is actually one of the main reasons I don't do squats with it. You would have to "clean and press" it into position for a back/front squat. Instead, I just hold the dumbbells themselves for those exercises. It work's well for RDLs though.
Great review, but what's the reason for going slow on your reps? Thanks in advance
It is to keep constant tension on the target muscle group. If you lift fast, momentum will assist the dumbbell taking some of the tension off the muscles until you "catch" it when it slows down. You don't have to go super slow, I just say do a speed you can control to stay in good form.
Do they work with power blocks ? Thanks for the video brother
The same question?!
I don't see how it would work as the clamp on the end wouldn't fit in the square openings. I don't have the powerblocks to test, but from how you set it up, I'd say no.
Their website says that powerblocks unfortunately don't work with them.
I'm a bit curious as to why you haven't bought say a half rack. With that you'd have a reliable pull up bar, potentially spotter arms and such. I recently got one and I stopped going to the local gym cause I could hang my gym rings from it. Planning on possibly getting a barbell and weight plates in the future. Keep up the awesome review work and content 😊💪🔥
Main reason is I don't have the space. I'm not going to ever use my garage as it gets way too hot in the Summer. Also, I don't need it. I'm happy with my results with the very minimal equipment and space it takes up :)
@@GamerBody That's understandable. Also a unique approach to it. 😄 Being limited also boosts creativity. 👍
So you find this setup better than the elastic bands with the innstar bar?
Personally, I do like using free weights better. They will also be a bit better with strength/resistance curves. However, either option can build muscle, it is really up to what you want to do and/or have the money for.
Can you use this on handles where it's oval shaped and turns to make the adjustments?
Do you have an example product with that setup? I am trying to picture what you are describing.
Is this really better than a run of the mill spin lock bar? I can see this if you don’t have any plates and just fixed dumbbells. I have 110 pounds of plates. Plenty for me right now. Regular EZ bar off Amazon is 40 bucks.
Most likely the same. It will be faster to setup, but if you need more weight for your exercises, then the spin lock should be just fine.
Love the idea but shame it’s so expensive and unable to get in the UK 🇬🇧
Yeah maybe a company will make something similar, or you just found a niche to expose and make millions :)
Really Cool
If it had an an extension to the bar... Not much, but just enough that my large 90 Pound dumbbells are not smashing my arms when doing bench press that would be nice... Then made out of metal and I'd be sold... Honestly I'm think about making my own at home with just a metal rods and some nuts at the ends to interface with a hinge mechanism that would be threaded.
Does this work with nuobells?
No it does not. I hope they make a new attachment soon that does, but as of writing this, it does not fit them.
hi. what adjustable dumbbell do you have if I may ask?
Core Fitness Dumbbells. I also have the Nuobells but they do not fit in the Hyperbell (as of writing this comment)
@@GamerBody i have the bowflex 1090 adjustable dumbbells. they claim it works, but i am having trouble clamping them on.
@@av_cali4958 the Core Dumbbells are a little tight, but fit. I do have to hold it tight when securing the ring around the clamp, but seems to be OK once connected.
What bench is that at 4:12 ?
It is this one by Flybird: czcams.com/video/GIF6T6wWIn8/video.html
Does the Bowflex 1090 fits on there?
According to the Jayflex FAQ they do fit: www.jayflexfitness.com/pages/faqs?al_pg_id=2bc7e18f-571f-4d23-b49e-6102abaa0d18
@@GamerBody Oh thanks. I ordered last night hoping it would fit 😂
@@MOBAGamingNYCdid they work ok? thinking about grabbing it or the ez bar
would this work for the bowflex adjustable weights?
Not sure. It really comes down to the handle size. The Core Fitness Dumbbells have a tapered handle that is a tight fit, and it looks like the Bowflex do as well so it might not fit properly. Unfortunately, I do not have them to test with.
Works with bowflex 552 and 1090 according to their website
@@goochy117 I got this bar for my 1090 dumbells and now I am returning the bar. The clamps just BARELY fit around the dumbells and only so with a ton of effort, its not easy to do and takes way too much time. Not the product for 1090 dumbells unfortunately, despite the website claim
@@colbyteeman521 that sucks. I really wanted to pick one up it would be a game changer. Thanks for the heads up
@@colbyteeman521 even through removing the piece of 'foam' in the clamps? which is what the site says
REQUEST: would you mind reviewing the Gorilla bow?
Potentially. I actually think the setup I have now is better, but maybe just to compare.
That looks like the dumbest thing ever. I wouldn’t even bother with it.
But if you did bother, right now there’s a knockoff on Amazon for $20. Get that, and it’ll at least give you an idea of the real thing without being out all the cash.
If only the bar can b a little longer 4 stand up curl & bench press
Maybe for bench press, but I can stand up bicep curl just fine with it. Are you thinking of something else?
Why wouldn’t you register it?
I sell my equipment from time to time. I still have this one, but no reason to register it imo.
I wonder if this would work with Powerblock?
PowerBlocks has their own version, but the clamps for this one won't fit into the handle area of the PowerBlocks
@@GamerBody the bar for Powerblock looks a little cheesy would you happen to have a review for it?
@@bossmodetubby I do not. Since getting the swist-style dumbbells I never went back to PowerBlocks. They are decent, just not something I enjoyed personally.
Can you talk about your experience as a baseball player? It's something you did in college so you had to be pretty good and it must have been a big part of your life but I don't see you ever talk about it.
Good topic. I may looks into making one in the future or at least how it was part of how I started getting into resistance training. I was able to start all 4 years so it was a fun time :)
just bought these using your link. it's pretty shocking how there's nothing else like this
Yeah, we might start to see more though if they do well. I've enjoyed them so far.
Sad that this doesn't work with the Nuobells...
Agreed. Maybe they can make a separate clamp you can but for shorter handles.
It looks cool but why not just get an olympic bar and weights? If space is an issue, I understand, but if you have room, 300 will buy a bar and 300 in weight. You can get a squat rack for 120.
No room for it. The only place it would fit is in my garage and that gets over 100 degrees here in TX so there is no way I'm doing that :)
@@GamerBody I love in Vegas. I have my outdoor gym but only workouts there at night or now that the weather is getting better, so I understand. I thought about getting the hyperbell but when you mentioned about the how it only fits some dumbbells, I decided against it. I would hate to spend money and it not fit the dumbbells.
@@kevingonzalez3673 Yeah it is unfortunate that it doesn't fit the Nuobells and no attachment has been made for it yet.
@@GamerBody It is a really cool product. I really like it vids. U got some sic gains and keep it simple. I still hit the gym a good amount of days but started working out at the house more. I have slowly been building my outdoor gym the past few years. Anyway, thank you for gettn back to me 😎
It's been 9 months. Are you still using?
I use the EZ Curl but not the barbell anymore (just because of carry angle). I just use wrist straps if I want to do some of the bigger lifts like RDL and squats.
Why get that over a barbell?
No room for a large stack of plates, the bar, and a cage. If you want to get a barbell go for it, I just don't have the room to set it up. Now way am I working out in a 100+ degree garage :)
@@GamerBody Morning Workouts my guy. 😀 I just seems those dumbelss will be limited to do any heavy duty training like heavy squats, deadlifts, and power cleans.
That's perfectly fine. I have no desire to do heavy for any of those exercises. As long as I can reach failure with a 6-10 second rep speed between 5-15 reps in a set I am good to go :)
Now some exercises are starting to get to a point where I can do all the reps (squats being an example) so that is where I may need to change things up a bit. Split squats may be something I change to before upgrading to heavier dumbbells, or I do all the reps, then do a wall-sit until failure.
@@GamerBody
You seem more focused on bodybuilding (safely) than powerlifting anyway.
Also, now that you are closer to 40 than 20, there’s really no point in going heavy for heavy sake. At 45, I’ve zero interest in going as heavy as possible. My heaviest item is a 100 lbs sandbag.
Also, aside from being old, I’m too pretty to catch an injury trying to ego lift . 😁👍
Yeah that's the main reason I just have the 50s but slow down the rep speed so I fail out in that 5-15 rep range. Everything I look at now revolves around safety as I hate being hurt. As I get older and older, 50 may start to be the max I need again. I still think 50 lbs will be enough for the average person for their lives when used appropriately.
At that price it should be made of metal
Yeah cost wise this thing is a bit more than it should be. Maybe if the material costs were there but you aren't the only review that has mentioned the weak plastic so its pretty obvious its everyone's impression
Yeah, so far that plastic piece has held up, but not sure if it will years down the road.
What makes this useless for me, is the 200lb weight limit. Someone needs to design a steel variation of this product.
I think for the target user it is great. While it is not heavy for many big compound lifts (for those who have lifted for some time), I find that biceps curls, skull crushers are great with it.
You can't use 200 pounds for nothing?
Commercial. I don't trust plastic with weights and never will.
Perfectly reasonable. I wish they made the clamps out of metal, especially the twist lock piece. Works right now, but could end up breaking in time. So far mine hasn't, but you never know.
Product is so pointless. You can get a steel Z bar for a fraction of the price.
But I don't have plates for it, and I do have dumbbells at the ready. I also dont have room for plates where I workout. Can you get a separate clamp for that steal bar?
@@GamerBody plates literally take less space than dumbells unless they are 45lbs if you place them against the wall. You can go to Walmart and get a set containing 110lbs for like 80$ where's two matching 45lb dumbells will run you like 150$ for a set.
@@oedipus_tex8660 I use adjustable dumbbells so that is not true based on my setup. The larger bar and plates would be a huge pain for me in my small office closet. If you have the space though, go for it.
have u done lunges with them?
No, if anything I do split squats, but I do those just holding the dumbbells directly (maybe straps with heavier dumbbells).
