Would you sit on it?
I kinda wish I'd held out for this instead of the monster utility seat, but I didn't know it would fit a 49" rack.
Great video as usual Brandon 🤙🏼
Great review, Brandon. I was a bit skeptical about the price, but you did a great job of highlighting the value in the versatility.
Very thorough review as usual. Are you a one-man team? You do all your filming and editing?
I think you're the only one in history who has enough equipment to dedicate a power rack as a seating area 😂
Rep utility seat looks pretty solid…… However, once again we see how useless trolley arms are. Literally the worst purchase I've ever made for my garage gym.
Would you feel secure using the bench without the thumb screws? Or do you think you'd be sliding all over the place?
Deciding if I want to pick this up. I would probably use it for seal rows mostly. I can’t store it on my rack due to Ares and plate storage. Storage would be my issue.
This is pretty dope and if it fits on the 16 crossmembers in the back I’d probably get it to use for GHR like the promo photos on reps site.
Use to watch you when I was in high school back around 2012-2016. Good to see you still uploading, I noticed you changed your channel name
I like reps stuff I just don't know what I would use this for. The seal row option is cool but that seems like that's it.
The REP Utility Seat is an engineering masterpiece, including a bonus education that your rack is not as square as you think it is. Even bottom cross-members are subject to its unmerciful Laws of Physics enforcement.
I often wonder if there is something off with me when I watch all ur videos and 96% of it isn’t available in Australia 😂
Would it help to lower the trolley arms all the way as low as possible with the arms out forward and then attach the utility seat to the trolley arms with the ground to assist in holding one end?
The 3M tape on mine stayed on perfectly fine only after seemingly activating it with a heat gun. The perfect fix…
well, now I have to go order the 5/8ths detent pins… lol. Thanks a lot man!
How's your training coming along with Mike T?
400 dollars for a raised platform….ooof. Reminds me of the Ares and Athena where the functionality is intriguing but there's not rational way to justify the price tag unless you enjoy watching money burn.
Useless garbage 🗑️
Any thoughts on the usefulness of this vs something like the Sorinex Bulldog pad? I know they aren't the same, but seal rows seem like one of the major functions of the seat+pad.
I might have missed it, but is there much difference between this and the Rogue? There's only $30 difference between the two, plus Rogue's shipping. (Always hold out for a BF purchase)
Great channel man! Super cool and well put together content ❤
No support for troops or first responders anymore. Man. Although only 5%.. standards and support mean a lot!!
How are you able to get two pins in per side? It doesn’t line up on my drop down safeties, spotter arms, or directly on the rack. All items are Rep, so it is weird that they don’t line up. The hole spacing looks like a sine wave pattern.
Both sides of my tape fell off after 24 hours of letting it sit with light pressure.
Sweet been waiting for the big doggs look at this , love having this in my gym , 👊
Very thorough and informative, thanks for taking the time to dig deep!
