Thanks for the shout, Coop! Glad you like the Preacher Pad!
Interested to hear your thoughts. I have pretty much everything in my gym currently and some I use daily, some I never touch. Maybe I can "borrow" this idea and do my own take.
Hit on some good ones here. I actually use my Barbell Bomb on my log bar as a way to store it vertically (with bungee cords) on my cement floor. I use their pillows in all my other vertical storage options as well. They make some medicine balls with that same dense foam which are fantastic. I also use their plate spacers on my storage pins for my Leg Ext/Curl and 6 post rack. Great team over there!
I would say kensui is a manufacturer to keep an eye on. Like, their products seem somewhere on a spectrum from awesome to derivative to crap. You could do full episodes making tier lists on their stuff.
I think he’s talked about the vest and handles.
Love the Abmat quarter rings- they’re quarter circumference gymnast rings that can be easily looped from a pull up bar for more elbow and shoulder friendly pull ups.
I wish they made the strap a bit longer as they are a hassle to take off as the ring makes it difficult to thread it out of the loop
I love those too. Wish they made fat 1/4 rings
Loadable Dumbbell Cushions- Goblet Squats & variation to kettlebell swings also heavy 1 arm shoulder press, I bet you could use it for floor skull crushers as a back stop to change directions going from eccentric to concentric,
Also can be used on the end of a barbell as a Landmine cushion
They should consider making an adjustable bench bridge for the seat gap. Unless its already been done
I’d like to see a review on the bullet proof isolator.
This review was fun and probably one of the best you've done in a while. Thanks
i like their barbell pillows for vertical bar storage. like their abmat, squat pad, and preacher curl pad too!
Love AbMat, thanks for the reviews Coop!
They also make a padded cover for belt squat belt which makes going heavy or flywheels feel much better. I think it's a great company and they make a lot of equipment that makes lifting less painful. The dumbbell cushions allow them to be stored vertically as well which saves room
"100s of lbs potentially for me, for Sam 20 lbs or so" 🤣🤣🤣
Love the ARES in the backround. Saving up for mine.
I agree with your thoughts on the Hip Thrust pad. Velcro strap on top that wraps around the barbell would be better. They also have an ab amigo, which I own. I also own the preacher pad, DC block pads, crash pads, hip thruster pad, barbell pillows, and abmat.
I do love their Landmine grip. It's a super simple thing, but makes using a landmine that much more enjoyable. Also, the loadable dumbbell cushions are a game changer if you do seated calf raises.
Would love to see a review of Abmats pulling blocks! More Stray Dog or Legend fitness reviews would be great too. Thanks for the great content!
Just got my preacher pad looking forward to giving it hell
I remember back in the mid 90’s or so Larry Scott had a big resurgence. He and Vince where so ahead of their time. Larry had a line of equipment to Girondas original specs. He was extremely particular about the angles and shape of the preacher pad. As well as the angels on the original spyderco curl bench and his prone triceps extension bench. Really great stuff. Great content. Thank you.
They're a solid company. I use their barbell storage pillows, the dumbbell cushions, and the preacher pad is my favorite! Sorry I can't help you with the affiliate links but in the future I'll refer to this video if I need to
LOL 😂 🤡
oh no, RIP GGR...
found a preacher curl bench at a second hand shop. Got it for $15 and its size is perfect for my small garage and it doubles as the perfect space to do back extensions so it fits the home gym multi use requirement for me!
Wouldn't you be happier spending thousands on that one piece of equipment? Most people that comment don't seem to understand that muscles don't know or care how much you spend on equipment. They just care that you work them. Yes ,I've been working out for years on my concrete patio in Central Florida year around as the sun comes up with just the simple pieces of equipment and weights and it works.
Hey man, weird question, but what brand of pants do you have on in this video? They look really nice and comfortable.
You needed to publish this a week ago! I ordered an about preacher pad just the other day.
We’ve been using their dedicated HSPU mats and really like them. The curve on the side accommodates the plates nicely and you’ve got a flat surface to land your head on rather than a rounded one which always made me (a little) nervous.
Coop, nice light setup you got back there
My favorite Abmat product is my Custom RooBox sweet plyobox that has my logo and matches my game color scheme
For that split squat pad, I would put a band on the barbell to the rack on the opposite side to help hold the barbell in place along with the weight on the opposite side of the SSP.
Archon fitness!! They have a Smith machine built into a cage that's probably the most versatile/compact piece for someone looking for a Smith machine
those cushions are a LIFESAVER. love them. give them some love so they keep making them
Id love to see your take on the Isolator from Bulletproof fitness. The dude is making some crazy awesome stuff over there.
Awesome vid! Just curious. What lavalier mic you using to record your voice. Always sounds good!
Preacher Pad is the best! Had it since it came out, maybe a full year, little sag in the middle but still performs great!
Tie down strap on the other end of the barbel around the J cup would work when using the split squat thing, if you have one laying around.
could you review abmat's pulling blocks that they made with squat university, and compare it to more traditional blocks in terms of bar rebound after dropping, noise, sturdiness (e.g., dc blocks always have layers that come off after dropping a clean), and durability?
Lock the bar in with a band over the bar and J-cup with weight hanging off the band. That’s the way I load the earthquake bar…secures and doesn’t flip off rack.
Thanks for the review. I think I’ll try the hip thruster. Wish they would’ve send you the landmine grip for the end of a barbell.
I also love that they collaborate with so many other influencers. What is the Abmat x GGR product coming out????
Would love to see a future video with the home gym that is built for the rest of your life. You constantly say that certain equipment will last forever but it's tough when we see all this cool new equipment and technologies to not want to constantly upgrade. What would you use if you built a gym now and don't plan to add to or replace for another 20+ years?
All the basics with few or no moving parts will last for decades (especially those made from steel). Rack, plates, barbells, dumbbells, KBs, etc.
I love their barbell pillows
I just used an exercise mat for hip thrusts and it was very comfortable 😊
I have their Atlas stone return pad. It's a little pricey for what it is, but I stilloveit. I workout by myself in my garage, so having a pad that rolls the stone back to me is nice.
Please review the stray dog strength racks with cable attachments that compete with the Ares
Aw man, they didn't send along their 1/4 rings! I use them all the time, mostly on my pull days but could easily be used for push. I think they're great. Maybe you could do a group review of several of the handle-style attachments across lots of companies and feature them there?
Is the hip thrust pad a worthy upgrade over the Iron Bull advanced pad?
Any chance of a review on their pivot pad for hip thrusts, please?
Just ordered the abmat using your link. I've been looking for something like this, but I'm skeptical of all the junk I've seen on Amazon. I'm excited to try it out!
The Bulgarian split squat pad makes a lot of sense if you have a squat stand or a rack that doesn’t have the attachment
The hip thrust pad has a sheet of hard plastic on top of the foam stack that spreads out the pressure a lot. I've used it for 465lb hip thrusts without any hip pain. Significantly better than a foam barbell neck pad.
Link to those hexagon LED's please. They look dope!
Where'd you get those backlights behind the squat rack?
I got the hip thrust pad because I can also use it as a knee pad. I have liked it so far and will need to pick up an abmat at some point.
You should do a review on the BC Hip Thruster
I feel they’re all great ideas except for the split squat attachment. It just does not seem that secure. I gladly paid for the Rogue one with the hand tightening knob.
Can you review the Bully trolley?
Personally I just use a ezbar for my hip thrust. It sits naturally on my hips thanks to the bends in the bar. As far as the box squat pad. I made one out of combining yoga block. My bench while great and long, is not high enough for my height of 6'5, so I combine yoga blocks to add some height. I bought the blocks from a Marshall/Ross it cost me not even 30 bucks. As for the DC blocks, i bought the 1 inch floor foam, not for my gym floor, i have the stall matts for that. I simply cut them and combine them, 6 inches thick of foam plus some old pillow stuffing between the pieces. My gym is on the second floor of my house. I haven't had any problems.
Coop, what is the orange strap on your left wrist??
It would be cool if you would be able to review stuff from Black Widow Training Gear. A small operation with very cool pieces.
If you are on a budget or hate how expensive gym bench pads and floor pads are Look at mechanics pads. I needed a pad for a vertical leg press machine, harbor freight had a $20 portable folding mechanics pad that fit perfectly and had a head rest .
I liked it so much I bought more to take to commercial gym and in car to change tires oil etc.
Can review Crandall Fitness 's new omni rotational jammer arms? Or just their products in general?
I have made two different DIY pieces of equipment out of PVC pipe: Parallettes and Dip Station (copied from Matt Wichlinski from The Stength Shop). It would be a cool video to see you review a bunch of good DIY equipment - you could do a whole episode just on PVC and plumbing pipe.
Good video, BTW.
The barbell bomb looks great. Just wonder how much protection it will provide to wall or floor.
Have you tried their Zercher squat pad? I'm interested in it, but it's a bit pricey. Would you please review it?
Coop, I was excited to see you lift an Atlas stone! You skipped Alan Thrall's "Atlas Stone Return Ramp."
The chest up pad?
Could you check out the Bantong&Li brand i am thinking of buying one of their minimalist racks but i am not sure if its durable and can withstand i am reaching to you because i know you can give it a good test ("amazon bench😅") if you can't do it can you plz give us some suggestion for minimalist racks that are not too expensive. thank you if you read this.
A squat pad can serve as a hip thrust and a split squat pad (same location as hip thrust). Good quality with multipurpose. Whats are your option on that compared to these products?
Some niche reviewswould be cool. Mike bartos pr platform or stone of steel
3:31, ended up switching to single arm, to avoid having to dig into my knee with both.
What light is on your wall?
$80 block of foam. Seems like the same racket that foam mattress companies are running. They would have you believe PU foam is the most expensive thing in the world. (Of course labor is a major cost for mattresses)
People on this channel make me laugh at the stu(pid) garbage that they would spend their money on.
Bridgebuilt vs bully fab trolley duel next🤺
Hey, where was the Donnie Thompson Body Tempering pad?
You should visit Matt Wenning’s gym and interview him. Dude is insanely smart.
do your preacher curl on an incline bench
Can you review Weight it out steel plates
You’re completely wrong about the essential accessory for loadable dumbbells - being the LDB cushions. Although I love Abmat and own 3 of the products you just reviewed (Abmat, split squat, HTP).. I ALSO own the Loadable dumbbell cushions. You have to wear a certain type of clothes if EVEN for the grip to secure on your legs especially with a heavy load !! They slip and then goes your shoulder from internally or externally rotating with 80+ lbs doing shoulder press !!
You can even see the insecurity in your clip. When you were offloading the dumbbells, it seemed like a coddled descent and dangerous above all.
KEY POINT: a LOADABLE DUMBBELL ESSENTIAL IS THE -
MAD SPOTTER HOOKS. Yes it’s requires a rack or something of that nature + a barbell but WOW. It makes putting on and off weight so easy and so secure. No lift offs needed !! Plus, they do a really good job with the design and the knurled handle feels great on the max spotter hooks.
I never use the LDB cushions from Abmat. They are used as stands :)
2:53 truer words have never been said. Every home gym owner with loadable dumbbells is crying in relatability right now
I noticed you don’t have the sick ass Frankenstein Donnie Thompson pad in there. 😎
You forgot the Chest Up Pad!!! I’m a dude and love it.
Review the Ironmaster IM2000 PLEASE!
Can anybody recommend a diy solution for the dumbbell cushion. They only ship inside the US
I use one of their wise crack AbMats (from Rogue) and I love it. $15 extra bucks (as of writing) to never have another friction rash on my butt is totally worthwhile.
I'll take the Squat ZeroSquish Cushion and LandMine Grenade.
Thanks
I really want the split squat pad but i don't have a weight rack. However, i do own the repfitness plate tree 🤞. Wish me luck lol
I love the barbell bomb!! I've used the tennis ball trick at the end of my barbell and it worked okay, but it's nothing compared to the bomb!
Man, i wanted the loadable db cushions to be better, they are unstable as hell on the knee over 100/hand
i want the loadable dumbbell end cap just to store my barbells in the corner.
What's your issue with using squat pads for hip thrusts? Pretty much all the IG fit girls use them, they are super cheap (way cheaper than AbMat's solution), and they address the issues you brought up with the hip thruster pad.
They also make excellent solutions for dropping weights like logs and stones
LOL 😂, 3 comments... boy what a SOY -BOY you truly are.
@@davebrown4841 write less passively. 'You truly are a soy boy' is better writing. If you ever want my attention again come find me and say something to my face. Till then I'm going to go back to not realizing you exist.
Coop, what kind of pants are you wearing in this video??
There's a new product : the zercher ab mat. Please can you do a review of it ?
freak athlete essentials is a really good small company!
I never knew that a mustached Jesse Pinkman does honest gym equipment reviews...
Cool...I subscribed.
Get some tennis balls for the loadable dumbbell
What about a cushion for the end of spin lock dumbbells?
It wouldn’t fit, they are only for Olympic size sorry
@@lukecollins3491 I worded that wrong, I meant is there a product that would fit spin locks.
@@forhisglory1984 no problem sorry not one that’s I know of. Since we are talking spin locks I had been searching to see if anyone made Olympic sized ones. Looks like intek does and they were over $200 for one handle. Yikes!
Question being at present and remaining, why are Girls loaded hip thrusting in one direction, what about the Intake or reverse direction or exhaustion direction. A little confusing in today's world. wdt
Boom goes the dynamite
I need to make my own shiii and it be called The Shiiii and yes I got a couple ABMAT things like the split pad , but the preacher one is a big waste of money
Not happy with their barbell bomb. They really made it sound like it would not slide on a stall mat but it easily slides around. Still have to put it up against a wall. I also agree with the hip thrust pad. It really does easily roll the bar back and forth. You really have to balance it just right. I feel like that one really needs some improvements. I went back to using a shoulder pad.
I really like this set. It’s a little bulky at times, but it’s just a matter of getting used to itMe and my girlfriend love it
Is the bomb cheaper than tennis ball? Probably not lol
