Biggest draw for me is a 72” upright – none of the other players offer that which helps for us low ceiling folks
Bells Of Steel is like the best option in Canada. Titan you have to get reshipped which is super expensive, and REP and Rogue are super expensive with shipping. Aside from that there aren't many options in Canada. I'm personally waiting for their 3×3 1 inch hole series which is supposed to come out next month. Looking forward to using their attachments.
Nooooo why did you go hexagon lights like everyone else?? Thought you were better than that coop
Titan Fitness has a rack mounted seated leg extension attachment I would love to see reviewed.
14:03 – Coop always develops a lisp when he says the word, “Height.” 😂
I've had the Light Commercial for a long time and love it. It was the cheapest big boy rack by far back in the day. And the roller cups/seal row attachment really stand out for me, along with rack height as a big game changer, started off with low ceilings. I've had no regrets with it, though being stuck to 5/8's narrows the ecosystem. Only attachments I can think of where the BoS fails to deliver though is the monolift isn't the greatest and that new super flexible leg curl/preacher curl attachment they don't have a good equivalent yet. But both are just nice to have. Any powerlifter who whines about not having a monolift should be kicked out. In my eyes the Hydra is their move to upgrade the quality and compete with the big boys now that they had a lot of success with their starting lines and the capital to invest in that level of industrial lines. However it's true, they're not as mature with the quality steel manufacturing so their cost/benefit is not making a good sell yet trying to outdo Rep Fitness and Titan Fitness at their own game. By all means they are still increasing the quality of their products and still innovating, which is why I continue to follow them, but if I were buying now brand new the Hydra wouldn't grab me as a good value buy. The Light Commercial though I enjoy that baby 3 times a week.
Americans need to get in metric system hype train
Please take a look on the new FOLDABLE WOODROWER, from Decathlon. It looks great but I can't find a single review of it. It is even hard to find the product itself.
Pretty sure Bells comes out cheaper when you use the gym builder and get 10% off your order.
I wish they would have dropped this and the Mantacor 3×3 1in at the same time
@garagegymreviews can you do a review of the rep fitness ab 5200 2.0
I’ve done a ton of research and apparently (happy to be proven wrong though) BoS Hydra is the only quality rack that can come at a height < 80 inches (72 inches) AND offer a lat pull-down option. As such I consider it a superb power rack option for low ceiling garages.
Do you have a full breakdown of how you configured the 6-post build out? That price for BoS means you either loaded it with more attachments than standard or you used the Canadian site instead of the US site.
I like the compatibility with Rogue Monster Lite in the Hydra, but Rep attachments have really ramped up in the last year or two so being able to choose the width is smart for BoS.
My home gym is not this high, its max 180cm, What do you i buy?
They have 1" holes for this rack if you choose so
BOS safety strap setup is definitely not $46. They are $175 for the hydra.
i would really like to see a review on BoS's flip down row pad attachment and their jammer arms…and specifically how they fit on comp. racks (REP 4k & Titan x3)
