Cage, Does the spot grip system make lifting the dumbbells awkward or clumsy. How does it compare to lifting dumbbells without spot grips?
Goddamnit! Yes! I even when to a local junk yard and took the entire seatbelt assembly off of a f150 to try to figure out how it works l. It’s sitting on my work bench in pieces.I really really like that!!
Wasn't "tkav1980" trying to build something like that??
Yep, purchased them several months ago. I love mine for heavy over head db presses. Just remember the spot grips weigh 10lbs so keep that in mind when your selecting your working weight!
My gym has one of these https://www.facebook.com/MadHouseGy...ex-multi-angle-autospot-ben/4141934185857632/
I haven't tried it yet but it looks awesome.
Man I wish I could work out at the gym that you train at.Those would have saved me a trip to the orthopedic surgeon but honestly
I can't see monopolizing a rack to do dumbbell presses is gonna make you many friends.
Mines mostly old people who just shuffle around and stand in everyone’s way. Drives me crazy. Before covid hit I went to a badass hardcore gym with fat pad benches, chains, bands, a strongman pit with a yoke, loading stones, 210 pound dumbells, and tons of other shit. They went out of business due to covid and it absolutely devastated meMan I wish I could work out at the gym that you train at.
All the gyms around me are occupied by clueless idiots that just camp around equipment and take selfies all day of their skinny physiques in a spaghetti strap tank top. Smh
man I feel that. I now drive an hour one way 4 times a week to get to this gym because I cannot stand these kind of people or corporate gyms.Man I wish I could work out at the gym that you train at.

If you train alone and want to hit true failure this is pretty darn cool!
I originally had mine set up inside my Powertec rack. However, I noticed my cage was getting too narrow in order for me to press them parallel to my shoulders. So I purchased a couple ceiling/wall mounts from Titan and hung mine from the ceiling in front of my rack. You can save a few bucks on the ceiling mounts by getting them from Home Depot. I just liked the ones from Titan. Looked more professional for my gym set up.Does anyone have experience with spot grip system.
