A couple of weeks ago GGR went on a road trip to IHRSA in Dallas Texas to see the latest and greatest gym equipment that's hitting the market.
One such booth I was excited to see was what equipment Eleiko was working on for home gym owners. We were able to see their latest equipment including the new Eleiko Prestera Rack, Oppen Collars, Evo Dumbbells, and some weight benches along with barbells.
Come along for the ride.

Apologies for the re-upload. We had some issues with the audio on the previous version. The culprit has since been demoted to only lifting with the Rogue AGGRO Bar for the foreseeable future as punishment…including front squats. Thank you for your cooperation. - Coop

The word inclusive never use to generate any feelings in me. But in the current environment, the word inclusive combined with weight training generates powerful emotion in me. Before you dismiss me as ignorant I urge you to reread the appendix to 1984 by Orwell. Jocko recently read it if you want to listen to an awesome voice read it. My desire to keep this current climate and the word inclusive away from sweat and work and pudding that shows proof is well founded. Thank you if you read this far. May sanity prevail.

The gym I go to has the Eleiko platform seen @0:34. Yes, it is very quiet and suitable for crossfit (snatches, clean and jerks). But for deadlifts with sets of multiple reps it's not optimal: the barbell and the weights bounces around to much sideways, and you will have to re-adjust your standing for almost every rep.

thats fine, you should be doing dead stop deadlifts anyway...I usually switch my grip (alternate which hand is pronated/suppinated) every rep on heavy sets...
Love you coop. You are fun to watch and I love your passion. Glad I found you and subscribed. You are one of the reasons I started building a home gym even though I am poor as hell haha and I love it. I did a 450 pounds deadlift at home last week. I never did more than 405 at gyms. Having my own heavy metal music blasting loud and being able to grunt make it so much better.

Eleiko has the prestera cable system for this rack which is much better than the rep ares. It was out before the ares.
I'm surprised with some of the negative reviews. I was so impressed with the kzread.infoUgkxMwYg0MOXR4M-oGeyBsNSYe1aPOUoRH6D cage that I got the lat pulldown attachment that goes with it. It is equally outstanding. I don't have one complaint other than putting it together is a job. The instructions and packaging of the parts are very well designed and organized. Also, I stripped and damaged the pull down cable the first day, admitting it was my stupid fault, and they quickly replaced it at no charge. I'm 6'5, 280lbs and fit in the cage just fine. Glenn B

Thank you for sharing! More content from the show coming?
2 safety belts on the sides of the cage for the squad, think about the ones on cars, it gives in if you pull it slow and locks when you pull fast and the weight falls stoping it from crushing your spine, idk if it could work tho because you might go down slow when you cant lift it, just an idea
If money wasn't an issue I'd def buy Eleiko
What about the safety squat bar?, should i get the kabuki transformer or wait to see the eleiko one?
Eleiko is a lot like Atlantis or Panatta. They make the absolute best stuff, but prohibitively expensive for 99% of people. Not really home gym material unless your home gym is also your business, or you have "fuck you" money.
Coop , eleiko powerlifting performance bar. Please review . It’s there newer chrome finished powerlifting bar
Why would a rotating handle on a dumbbell help with shoulder mobility on curls and overhead work ? It’s already as total free movement
Coop…man I wish my wife looked at me the way Cat looks at you.
I was just sitting at breakfast and when coop held the knurled pin in the camera, I almost choked at my fried egg 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏽♂️
You went weight Texas and reviewed the RRX machines i used one gor about 3 months what you think is it musch better than free weights
Eleiko makes many great products, but I will say this about its new collars: the design is terrible for removal since the underside of the switch digs into your fingers like a knife. Just watch the video and you’ll see that the rep had trouble removing one collar with both hands. Also, they don’t stay put; they shift outwards from deadlifts alone, so don’t expect to drop your bar from overhead.
@jamestonbellajo

I have a pair of these. They are insanely hard to take off an unloaded bar or if you only have small plates loaded on. However, I have one collar that is perfect to use. Not too loose and not too tight and I can unclip it pretty easily with just one hand and it’s a joy to use. However, the other collar in my pair is at least twice as tight and it is so hard to remove it so I experience something similar to what you saw with the rep. I guess your mileage may vary, but they’re replacing the tighter collar for me. Glad I still have my Lock Jaw Pro collars though haha.

My favorite thing about them is not having to slide them up and down my barbell to get them on, alsonthe magnets are very nice with rubber coated weights. With plain cast iron plates it's insanely hard to remove.

No... well you wouldn't get it man. I went mostly ROGUE which I got pre pandemic when we moved into our new house, but damn the Eleiko stuff is really top quality... I just got their half Öppen Deadlift Bar and it is incredible.

I am liking the OPPEN collars and just ordered the Prestera. Here is a rundown on the Prestera. 1. - It's 70mm by 70mm which means most of the older Eleiko XF 80 attachments will not work because they were designed for 3 x 3. 2. - The Stainless Steel uprights they use will not allow magnets to stick to them. It's a higher quality stainless steel and magnetic collars will not stick to them. You can stick the collars on the rear uprights though. 3. Most manufactures make attachments for 3 x 3 racks, but don't make attachments for 70mm by 70mm. That means you are pretty much stuck with Eleiko attachments. That is good and bad. Great quality, but more expensive. Here is a video on did on the OPPEN collars. They are solid collars and easy to use. kzread.info/dash/bejne/q4uXmtuOc8Tboc4.html
