Wanted to make a compilation vid showing the MANY uses for lever arms (pulled from existing content as well as filmed new). I hope you enjoy it!! Please consider using my affiliate link in the description if you find anything in the video useful and decide to make a purchase!!! Thanks for watching!!!
That hack squat set-up is an incredible idea - could be slightly changed for standing calf raises too. So many great programs (like most of John Meadows’ stuff) require hack squat, leg press, leg extensions, and hamstring curls. You’ve pretty much given us a solution for each.
Thank you! I like it! Make sure you watch the dedicated hack squat video on my channel if you haven't already! It breaks down the setup!.
It’s the dad shoes that makes it for me.
😂😂😂!! These are my Reeboks....my New Balance were dirty 🤪😂
I'm undecided on lever arms, but I must say, your video has me thinking! Some of the setups/configurations do look fun!
Thank you! They can be a blast if you're willing to do the setup work involved. I know I've never personally regretted purchasing mine!
Can you list all equipment used to do all of these movements? I'd love to replicate all of this as I am planning out a garage gym build. Really like the pully idea.
Absolutely! Shoot me an email and I'll reply back with everything I used! (mattpendergraph@gmail.com)
Great workout music
Hey matt great video like always i love your contents ! Can you do a video specific to the articulated arms for trolley and review please ! Im on the fence if i should get them or not lol thank you !!
Thank you! It's on my list (and has been for MONTHS!!!! If you want my short answer right now, I say to skip them as they aren't as useful as I originally hoped, ESPECIALLY considering their price point! (I'll obviously elaborate in the video)
Could you list the specific components necessary for each? I'm at least looking at the leg extensions and curls. Just got me a monster cave and want to get most out of it. Thanks and please keep it coming!
Absolutely! I was actually going to make a separate video showing how to assemble each set up/what all is needed as well. Obviously you'll need the lever arms, two leg rollers, a weight horn (I used the weight horn that was included with my articulating handles on the leg extension and just a regular monster weight pin for the leg curl. You can use either or for either set up). For the leg extension set up, I used spotter arms and the rogue utility seat to sit on. For the leg extension, I used a Rogue flip down safety to stand on.
So many activities!!!
😂😂!!
I love all the different permutations possible, but I wonder if it's worth having... Seems like a lot of work to set up for each config... But it's better than not having at all I guess.
Oh yes! So many options outside the normal/common uses (these things are expensive, therefore I'm trying to find every possible use for them LOL). I personally don't find them to be too much of a hassle to set them up (I use hitch pins to connect everything so the process really only takes a few minutes). Like anything, it all really depends on the person and if they're willing to make the extra time needed to set them up.
@@MattPendergraph I've got an RM-6 but not all the attachments (yet). Need to build a separate shed for my gym instead of the not quite one stall space I'm using now. Just don't want to take away too much of my shop space for the gym. Got a couple cars to build in there still. :D
@@student1979oct completely understand that!! 😂. Feel free to reach out if you're ever on the fence about a particular attachment, and if I've got it, I'll gladly share my thoughts with ya!! The attachments can really add up 😬
Excellent
Thank you!
Hey Matt. Just got the articulating handles from Rogue and I can’t for the life of me figure out what to do with them. I thought they’d be a big improvement but I’m not so sure. Any chance you can do a video devoted to the handles. I can’t find one anywhere. Ty.
I do have plans to talk about them in an upcoming video, but I'm unsure as to when I'll get around to making it at this point.
You can do a lot of this with a drop in rhino. I’m surprised you don’t have one yet
I've considered it NUMEROUS times!! I wish I would have purchased one several months back before Rogue decided to jack up the prices!!! lol
@@MattPendergraph yeah I noticed it went up a lot!
@@davidroseborough unfortunately so 😡
MATTTT !!!!! WHAT ARE THOSE HANDLE CALLED YOU DID THE LAT BENCH ROW WITH ???
Thanks. Great vid.
Lol Thanks! Those are the articulating handles from Rogue Fitness (not gonna lie, they are quite pricy considering what they are/what they do!!)
How did you setup your pulley system? Is that a rogue slinger attached to a crossbeam? Thank you for the ideas! About to order my RM4 and the works now.
Yep! It's attached to the top crossmember of the rack (I also utilized a Surplus Strength pulley for one of the shots near the beginning, but the Slinger for most everything else) You're very welcome though!! Thank you for watching!!! Keep my affiliate links in mind when you go to order (I don't see a ton of them but every little bit helps!!) Thanks again!
Thanks for the video Matt, what is the red bracket/pulley set up you are pulling down on? I’ve never seen that before
You're welcome!! That's a Surplus Strength pulley (check my channel as I've made a review over it). Thanks for watching!!
@@MattPendergraph awesome thanks I’ll check it out!
@@MattPendergraph awesome thanks I’ll check it out!
Hey @matt pendergraph looks like you went with the shorter arms - assuming you’d recommend these over the longer ones? I imagine this is the main reason why you’re able to do so much of this stuff inside the rack, correct? If I went with the longer arms, guessing I’d have a better belt squat experience though since I’d be further away from the rack and the hinge point…?
Definitely prefer the shorter! Check out my short arm review if you haven't already as I explain why I went with short over the long! Also,...don't be fooled by the term "short" lol. They are 35 inches which is plenty long enough IMO for just about everything while still feeling completely natural. Hopefully that helps! Thanks for watching!
@@MattPendergraph the one movement where I think a longer arm would be better is a belt squat. Would you agree or am I off with this assessment?
@@evdb7246 Depending on your setup, I would agree. The extra length would allow you to load the plates up while maintaining a good distance from the hinge point for sure. The short isn't bad though IMO. Probably boils down more to personal preference at that point.
Just out of curiosity when you are doing the leg raises does the leg that is closest to the jammer arm feel like it is doing most of the work? Or is it equal tension on each leg?? Thanks so much for the ideas!
It feels even to me. I don't notice either leg doing more/less work than the other. No problem!! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for posting this video. Wanted to ask what weight stack are you using on lat/rower ?
No problem! Rogue Slinger Weight Stack
@@MattPendergraph thanks for responding. I’m trying to see if I was convert it to a low row with an additional pulley. How can I place my feet from stopping me from moving. I don’t think rogue sells just an option for the low row feet. The only thing I see if for the lat pull down is the seat option.
By the way I subscribe to your channel! Keep up the good content. 👍🏽
@@MoeMoe-do1fd Thank you for subscribing!! Rogue actually does sell the low pulley/feet rest by itself if you're interested in going in that direction. (MONSTER RACK MOUNT LAT PULLDOWN SEAT + LOW ROW KIT) is what they call it. Hope that helps!
Do you thjnk a leg roller on top of the legs woukd add some value for the extensions? Or does it not fit correct due to the trolley ? Thanks.
It MIGHT line up correctly, however I see no value in adding one as it isn't necessary to perform leg extensions (or at least I've never found downward pressure above the knee/on the thighs to be needed anyways)
@@MattPendergraph answer I needed. Thanks man. Lookin forward to the build battle.
@@P3ak930 No problem!! As am I!! 😂
Clever girl...
😂😂😂!! 🤭
Do you find the utility seat was a waste of money prior to this? Been considering it.
Me personally....I do! I mean, it's made well (super nice construction and extremely heavy), but I find it to be clunky and a PAIN to set up simply due to how heavy/big it is!!! Not to mention that it's not cheap! I obviously own it and will continue to utilize it when needed, but there are better/cheaper/easier options available IMO.
@@MattPendergraph that’s what I was thinking as well. Thanks dude!
@@P3ak930 No Problem!
What's the crossmember you're using for the hack squat? I have the Monster Lite so please tell me it's not the flip down safety lol.
lol. It's not! It's just a bottom crossmember. Check out my other video going over the setup. czcams.com/video/0SlUuQkE2D4/video.html
@@MattPendergraph Whelp, I found the crossmember, unfortunately the monster lite leg rollers won't work with it lol.
@@cbeck5222 Oh no!! Sorry man 😬! Surely there's a way around it... maybe drill out two holes to accept the monster rollers? Lol
@@MattPendergraph That was my thoughts
@@cbeck5222 🤷♂️...I mean...lol...it would technically work!
