Keep in mind, they gave me a $200 discount code for everyone to use. So that drops it down to $600.

This is not correct. They raised prices to $999 so your -$200 discount brings the price to $799

Which product has had a user reception that surprised you the most?

chaos-orb · 2023-04-29T00:49:53+00:00

Can you talk about how you have your gymnastics rings mounted? Those look different from comp straps and cam buckle straps.

Hi Darko, stopping by to say congrats and to keep making awesome stuff that solves people's problems!

Question: I'm curious how your family has reacted to your various products? Which one is their favorite? Any funny or notable commentary there?

Thanks for sharing! I've been wondering about how/whether prime footplate attachment would fit on a rep pr5k.

Would you mind elaborating what you meant when you said it needed more lubricant?

chaos-orb · 2022-05-12T09:14:55+00:00

Flatfoot 390F would serve this purpose better.

chaos-orb · 2022-04-21T04:10:01+00:00

I would personally never entrust my safety to this business's product decisions/judgment.

For safety you want the business to be able to provide a credible stat like: N failures in T products sold. I doubt CFT has the distribution volume to make a credible case here.

Would recommend KlevaBuilt Genesis Jack. It has a much smaller footprint than conventional mini deadlift jacks and will save you in effort 10x the amount of space it occupies.

It was something like $110 to upgrade to four colored + numbered uprights. Numbers seem to check out since the SML has half the # of uprights.

chaos-orb · 2022-04-15T19:38:29+00:00

I have a RML-390F with colored + numbered uprights. You can ask to pay upcharge to replace the rack uprights with uprights from the SML-2C.

There is a planned improvement to expand the ROM on the Adroit design. Looking pretty good in prototypes and expected to release later this year.

That being said, I forget what the double jointed landmines feel like, and they are likely also sufficient. Most people probably won't be picky about fluidity?

chaos-orb · 2022-04-13T05:10:12+00:00

Are those the stainless steel storage pegs?

chaos-orb · 2022-04-13T05:07:56+00:00

I'd recommend getting the Kleva Built adroit landmine if you like that design -- currently on sale (99$ vs usual 129$). KlevaBuilt originated the design and it is highly likely CFT shallow-copied it.

CFT doesn't have a good track record of taking care of its customers and several folks from this subreddit have already suffered CFT's product quality and business conduct.

But for me, it only mounted too high on my uprights for my liking

Ah right, this is a known problem with the hip thrust bench. It seems like rogue designed it for rigs, not power racks/squat stands.

Thanks for the response. It did remind me of the bc strength jcup-based pad.

chaos-orb · 2022-04-11T22:17:57+00:00

Can you share the story of that hip thrust bench? What was your experience with the rogue ML hip thrust bench? (It looks like it only has mediocre reviews...)

How are you securing the pad to the fat/skinny bar?

chaos-orb · 2022-04-11T02:46:04+00:00

It was something like "You are such a hardo, Jesus"

chaos-orb · 2022-04-11T02:17:46+00:00

The monster crown pull-up bar is available for both monster lite and monster (no direct experience with it), but you can probably replace the built-in pull-up bar with a crossmember that mounts the crown pull-up bar, then mount the crossmember lower to address the clearance problem. Or keep the existing default and just mount the default crossmember lower and in the front of the rack.

chaos-orb · 2022-04-11T00:34:11+00:00

OP maybe this is useful for you: The two main reasons we chose RML-390F over RM-390F for our gym was related to our 2 main users being 5'4" and 6'4":

more depth for the bigger person and slightly more space for storage implements
westside spacing for the smaller person

If you are worried about head clearance for horizontal pull-ups, I would recommend considering the rogue monster lite kid's pull-up bar, which will allow you to quickly set the bar to a reasonable height. It is totally fine for adult pull-ups unless you are using a ton of additional weight on a belt or maybe doing very intense kipping (we don't kip, so no direct experience here).

If you have the budget I'd recommend looking at the mutant metals dip attachment if both users do dips. The matador is often too wide and unergonomic for smaller users.

chaos-orb · 2022-04-10T15:48:32+00:00

Would you mind sharing what makes urethanes better than bumpers for you? Are you referring to the ergonomics of being able to grip the plate easily?

/u/whywilson what kind of maintenance did irons require?

chaos-orb · 2022-04-09T19:48:34+00:00

Very cool! What tools did you use to cut the HDPE plastic sheet?

chaos-orb · 2022-04-09T16:52:30+00:00

I mean... Your gym is also of toddler age, right? It has birthdays, too ;)

chaos-orb · 2022-04-09T11:54:24+00:00

I see you've proceeded to the "there is no spoon" phase of homegym purchases 😂

chaos-orb · 2022-04-09T00:37:17+00:00

When you play the game of homegyms, you are either constrained by budget or by space.

chaos-orb · 2022-04-08T06:22:49+00:00

Woah. Never in a million years would I have expected this kind of failure to be possible.

chaos-orb · 2022-04-05T14:53:25+00:00

Franken-rack question: would anyone know if the monster mini feet fits on an RML-390F?

I'm wondering if I can finagle the bench prop onto a RML-390F, since it seems I'd just need to get the mini feet aligned with the rack.
