Turns out I put it together wrong forgot the washer, that's why it slipped off. 100% my fault was in rush to try it out when I got it!

Thanks as always for the Saturday review. I have lower back stiffness/pain/ whatever too. I stopped doing regular squats. I now do belt squats (T-bar version), viking attachment hack squats, and sissy squats. You do what you can do, but you do it. Thanks again - I always enjoy.

Exactly!!! Just change up the routine but keep cruising legs!!!

I think most people realize that when you commit fully to a home gym, leg exercises are what you sacrifice the most. I’ve done some nice hacks with resistance bands attached to a battle rope mount for leg curls but obviously not the same. I held onto my gym membership for a long time just to go once a week for leg day

Yeah they are doing a fantastic job

Good idea on using a band to help add resistance at the bottom. I think, like you said, this is likely just the beginning for the attachments BoS will come out with (betting there will be a preacher pad attachment). Biggest drawback I see is storage space for them, as you pointed out.

Yeah the storage for all these new attachments that have come out in past two years is something many fail to account for

Bells definitely listen to the community on this one. This is been in the forums and the groups for a long time so I should make a bench with an attachments And they did

@@NoFate247 even if you don't, I think the biggest benefit to this, in comparison to a dedicated leg ext/leg curl machine, is that you have a bench that you've now added more versatility to

Would be kind of neat to have a hook point where you could attach your cable attachment pulleys to. Wonder if that would lead to a more consistent feel similar to that of a cable leg extension machine?

Best fitness and body solid (same company,), different product lines make benches sold on Amazon that allow for their brand of leg extention/leg curl attachment and preacher curl. Another brand does too that's equally expensive, but at the moment I'm drawing a blank on the brand. If you buy the bench and both attachments for it, it will run about $500 or so dollars but the bench is nowhere near the quality and strength capacity of the new bells of steel one. When I'm ready to upgrade from my crappy weider standard bench with leg attachment (don't laugh too hard its all i could find at the beginning of the pandemic) I'm getting the marcy $180 fid bench with leg attachment. It's much sturdier than what I have and can hold 600lbs for the bench and 200lbs for the leg attachment. My current bench had to be strapped to heavier equipment so the back doesn't lift and flip over. Also, my current one is barely even padded and says it holds 50lbs on the leg attachment. In reality, it seems to hold up to 110 lbs, but I know it's questionable at that weight. I'm fortunate that I made the space for a dedicated leg bench not everyone can fit in the gym which is why if you have the money but not the space the bench with attachments makes sense.

Bells is also dropping a rack attachment like the Titan one so we’ll see how that come with the price point that comes out at

I enjoyed the review. I noticed yours looks different than the ones on the BOS website as far as how it mounts to the bench. I was wondering if you modified yours in any way?

@NoFate247

Жыл бұрын

No modification. Mine goes to the hero bench. I think the buzz saw version is slightly different in design but works exactly same way

I've seen guys on Reddit say this works with Rep's 5200 and my Blackwing extra hole needs drilled. I have Titan's rack mounted but its not very solid I hooked to Athena and the torgue of my 240lb body and cable attached plus weight on the thing broke their left washer and the seat went off and I fell back luckily grabbed the rack. Not sure I trust the thing anymore. I also like doing leg curls with BOTH legs vs 1 at a time.

Mr. Home gym for the streets checking in. Great review, and I am of the opinion that a leg ext/curl DEDICATED station (no fugazi monkey feet) is the most important “machine” you can add to a home gym. It is just not replicated well through hacks. This attachment could be refined in a few ways (Gluck pointed out it not being great if you are over 6’2), but that price point is hard to argue!
