My recent builds

[AttyGuy]

I can make the post freestanding...

That's interesting.

[Mech6]

That's interesting.

Wrong term. I meant anchored to floor, but not attached to rack.

Ah... D---it! Lol.

[Mech6]

Mech builds are the best, bumping to combat Chinese spam!

[QUOTE=Mech6;1581862961]So here's a bracket for the belt squat lever arm. This one is for uprights 3x3 5/8" with side holes. So like mine, rogue RML...
There are a few "pin" options depending what someone prefers:
.short pin (installed) and bumper so you could store it vertically (only the arm) and the bumper would be a stopper so it wouldn't contact the upright. You'd need somehting to keep it vertical
.handle if someone plans to remove it often, it helps with the other hand on the actual lever arm. Prevents it from swinging.
.bolt+thumb nut. Same idea as rogue on their monster line. I think this is the least likely option. You wouldn't need the hitch pin through the side however.



Hey Mach6 how can I purchase one of those belt squat lever arm attachment ??

[Mbeni052]

My god, what have you done??? lol

Hey Mach6 I’m new to this thing but a couple people have referred me to you for your lever belt squat attachment. Please let me know how I can purchase one.

Yes, this is correct.

And I'm loving it.

[radrd]

And I'm loving it.

Got one too and also loving it. There aren't anymore belt squats available, but I highly recommend Mech6 for his workmanship. Looking forward to seeing what's next!

[eddiegoodfellar]

Hey Mech6,

You should make a rack mounted indexed standing leg curl/extension attachment.

Probably the worse timing to even post this, but this piece would've been an awesome custom piece back when Mech was up and running with projects...

it would be nice if more products had a feature like this, especially Smith Machines but most definitely racks. I know Legend and Panatta both have indexed benches/racks. Legend and Strength Inc. were the first that i saw to offer it but maybe it's been around before that. It'd be great on functional trainers too. As far as i know only the Cybex Bravo does it, but yeah, i don't see why it isn't a standard thing for most of the products. I personally find it incredibly annoying on the Smith Machine on the rare occasion that i will use it.

I had the docking system on my Legend Pro half rack, it worked well, I'm not sure who first developed the docking bench, but they've been around for some time, I think I first saw one on a Power-Lift rack, the issue with previous docking systems, the rack and bench had to be compatible

I haven't seen a bench docking facility on a Functional Trainer, but I'm sure there's one out there. My Bravo has the built in support pad, but no bench docking, the Bravo feels as if it's been designed to be used solely in the vertical position, there's little room to position a bench within the unit.

The only time I bring my bench to the Bravo is for cable skull crushers.

I'll take one, but imma need Mech to add a cup holder for refreshments and a charging dock for my cell phone.

Don't have a manservant to handle such things for you?

These are real world problems, I was going to have him lift my weights for me but you have given me much to think about. LOL

My York rack has an available docking adjustable bench with built-in spotter decks. I had it for a time. It was a good concept, but due to the design of the bench it's wobbly in any incline position and the wheelbarrow-style handles made it a PITA to move around a tight home gym space.

This Rogue thing does make me wonder why I don't get rid of my bench rack and just set something like this up for my half rack and FB-5000.

[EricAtl]

Older pic but this is my docking station.

I had that York STS 1/2 rack and bench, great rack, awful bench.

[ShockDaMuscles]

My docking system consists of 2 pieces of painters tape where I position the front foot of the bench, one for incline and one for flat benching. And eyeballing to get the bench centered between uprights.

[AttyGuy]

I align my chakras and the bench falls into place.

[Greybird2]

I have silver sharpie marks on the rubber mats.

[dingdongkunt]

Mech6, you still around? PM cost for a basic rack.

I have a Hammer Strength Half rack with a docking bench. I really like it . Easy to dock and the bench on linear bearings works well. My FT2 has a bracket to use with their bench to center it but I don't use it. Its easy to line in up with the center of 2 lower pullies
