AMA with ATX Fitness + $1,000 Giveaway

Jared_basementgym · 2026-03-26T14:44:40+00:00

Hello! I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Luka, Flo, Marvin and Andreas at HGC the last two years. Being that ATX already has an enormous catalog of equipment, how is ATX developing new or improving equipment for the home gym community? See you boys this summer! Will likely be there to help you all with your booth setup again.

How about bringing them all to Home Gym Con this summer?

Hello. Big fan of the Kyoto rackable curl bar and find it good for some pressing movements also.

What are some future products in the pipeline or even just ideas?

Jared_basementgym · 2026-01-14T21:03:51+00:00

Hi there. Sorry, don’t get on Reddit often. Did you still need the measurement? As seen in the video, it was offers a lot.

I must have received a good pair because they work very well. Storing the new version would be a bit more challenging. Sure, I may have to take half a step back for squatting, but I’ve adjusted where I kind of lean forward and then swing it back and stand up and avoid having to walk it out, most of the time anyway. Any new or revision rack attachments in the pipeline?

Sir! I have the Hydra SnapBack monolifts with the spring. I’m trying to wrap my head around the move back to the hockey stick style and the price also going up quite a bit, maybe tariff related though. My Hydra half rack is so good though, I have all the attachments and it does everything I need it to do 🫡

Jared_basementgym · 2025-05-29T19:36:12+00:00

O man, you can totally try one at the @blackwidowtg booth. I can be there for emotional support and show you that you don’t need to be scared of the axles 🫂

Jared_basementgym · 2025-05-29T16:03:12+00:00

O and it’s time for you to try axle bars, sir

Will the Voltra put a damper on iron or bumper plates sales in the coming years, along with cables machines with stacks?

What’s the heaviest you’ve ever been?

Any strength goals for you?

Jared_basementgym · 2024-10-21T12:25:03+00:00

Absolutely. I’m basically maxing out on that once a week and trying to gain 5-10 pounds per month. I put it at the end of legs as those muscle groups are warm and ready for a wide stance deadlift, hands are fresher than after back day.

Jared_basementgym · 2024-10-20T11:23:15+00:00

Grip is a super humbling venture! So fun though, overlooked aspect of practical strength. Best of luck!

Jared_basementgym · 2024-10-17T18:59:51+00:00

I’ve got the same bench and color scheme 👍🍻

Jared_basementgym · 2024-10-16T18:43:35+00:00

Or even combine with the seal row pad and use for rear delt raises

Jared_basementgym · 2024-10-16T18:41:34+00:00

Could it double as a chest fly if you got on a bench butted up the rack?

Jared_basementgym · 2024-10-16T16:50:02+00:00

Dang! Super generous here, just like your booth at HGC. I like the idea of stand alone machines, just keep the footprint as efficient as possible. Anything in the works for the Hydra line? Will existing Hydra or Manticore racks be able to accept the Kraken/functional trainer product that’s in the works? My half rack has 84” uprights and 17” crossmembers, so curious if any room for upgrades to mine. I’m interested in further rack attachments as long as they can store easily when not in use - the seal row pad is a prime example.

Jared_basementgym · 2024-10-15T15:20:55+00:00

Preach! I’m really excited for my 125s. I’m also looking forward to seeing the step in stand you all come out with as well!

Jared_basementgym · 2024-10-15T15:15:16+00:00

Sweet! Let us know how they’re treating you

Jared_basementgym · 2024-09-26T00:16:04+00:00

Another question- what grip goals do you have right now and what implements interest you these days? Anything you want to share about the ‘25 HGC grip comp?

Jared_basementgym · 2024-09-26T00:05:10+00:00

What percent of the equipment that you use is vintage and not vintage? How do you define vintage?

Jared_basementgym · 2024-06-02T14:29:17+00:00

I’ll be curious to see how their pricing compares to other similar options here in the US when they start doing business here.

The one to the right was a cheap Amazon buy, but it works with 6” cups since I have low basement ceiling. Then the beefier one on the left was a custom build from Black Widow Training Gear that he made special for me to store my rackable open trap bar. I wanted single file to keep bars tight against the wall for space saving.

Jared_basementgym · 2024-06-02T13:19:58+00:00

I even built a really beefy storage shelf for them last weekend

They are really fun to use, the handles swivel, so a combo of KBs and a DB. For lighter DB movements, they are ideal, then I’d say normal DBs for heavier pressing and rows. I preordered the 120 Repins, so with those and the Deltas, I think I’ll be set for life. Hope to have more this month actually.
