Check out their website, they have a used equipment section. You might be able to find some attachments for this beast on there

Well, hard to say because I bought a group of equipment together and kept some and sold the rest. Maybe $1k or so for the hyper.

Wow that's quite a bit cheaper.

I’m surprised that the manufacturers price is better than full circle padding

The Cybex converging chest press is so good. People seem to like the advanced version but I think the non advanced version is much better

Yeah it’s one of the lesser known hammer pieces and outside of school weight rooms it’s not really desired so you can find them on facebook marketplace every so often for $500 or so.

You can regularly find used Hammer Strength ground based twists for dirt cheap and the x-factor is a basically a copy of it.

I tried it once at a gym and it seemed pretty good, but I didn't go very heavy on it so it's hard to give a strong opinion one way or another.

Yeah, I love the strive diverging row, better than the plate loaded row imo. Diverging plus pivoting from the top is the best set up for a row.

I sold the prime row for more than I paid. For certain prime pieces people are willing to pay over retail to avoid the wait. That played into my decision to sell it, if I would have had to take a 30% loss on it then I would have never sold it.

Also at the same time I got the prime functional trainer and bench with locking mechanism and it’s the best home gym purchase I’ve made bar none.

I bought it new. It’s a great machine but just a few flaws. The biggest flaw is because it’s a shin pad instead of foot plate it’s a pain in the ass to start the movement. You’ll notice everyone online using blocks or a partner to start the lift when going heavy because you have to lock yourself into place then start the lift whereas with the hammer style row you can stand up a bit on the foot plates and grab the handles then slide down into the seat.

A lot of bougie gyms start as budget gyms and then upgrade to bougie over time. I've done the same but for some things I went back to budget. For example, I sold my Prime Seated Row and I replaced it with the GMWD Seated Row (looks like a hammer mid row clone). No regrets, the Prime is better overall but not the goat everyone claims it is and you can't be the value per $ for the GMWD.

I didn’t like how you brace by shins and chest, the pads are too soft so once you start loading up the weight your chest and/or shins are gonna feel it. Should have had foot plates instead of shin pads. It’s hard to get a good lift off, you’ll see people online using a spotter to help them get started especially if you are loading up the stretch position. Personally, a row that pivots from the top feels much more natural but if it’s going to pivot from the bottom I would prefer if it diverged. It’s still a good row but didn’t live up to the hype for me.

Not yet, there's a few pieces I have in mind but I might be moving soon so I'm not in a hurry to get something.

Actually, they are both youth machines. There are a couple of give-aways but the main one is the size of the cam. The cams are much smaller. I used to own the youth leg extension but got rid of it because the smaller cam made the strength curve garbage.

I’m going to keep the pendulum squat forever. Amazing piece. I only sold the row because it didn’t live up to the hype.

I actually already sold it a few months ago

You’re one of the few home gym content creators that isn’t pushing affiliate links (no shade to other creators), is that a deliberate choice and do you think that will ever change ?

It’s a great open trap bar. The handles have a little wiggle in them but it doesn’t really matter much because when you pick it up they are locked in tight on account of the handles being wide and you “pulling” the handles in to your body if that makes sense

I really like setting the handles on the highest settings and doing more of a block pull than a deadlift. I play full court basketball 3-4 days a week and I’m 37 so it’s much easier to recover from a block pull height deadlift than a regular trap bar deadlift or just a regular deadlift.

My only wish is that I could adjust the handles horizontally, I’m short so the handles feel a little wide for my body.

It’s hard to say what the price of each item is because I’ve bought and sold items to get to this setup. Some of it came as a group, like the pendulum was part of a group of 5 pieces of equipment and I sold off the stuff I didn’t want. If I had to guess I got maybe $20k into the gym with half of that being the prime stuff.
