Lime green 😅, maybe one of the owners is that old Caribbean guy from the old Sprite commercials back in the day. Gives that joyful laugh whenever anyone asks for there to be no green
McMaster-Carr is super expensive, but they have literally everything. If you can find it somewhere else get it there; for all the things that you can't find anywhere else McMaster-Carr has got you covered.
It’s a shame how Prime doesn’t let consumers choose their colorways to the fullest extent. Love the customization process. I guess all that’s left is to created a heated lat pull down seat for max performance :)
@@BasementBrandon I've got a wobble issue with my dip station and I'm gonna 3D print a shim to fit the space perfect, I think something like that would be a good solution.
I was initially concerned about the seat wobble before I purchased it as well. I’ve had the single stack for close to a year now and you can’t even notice the wobble as you’re doing a lat pull down.
Prime is so obnoxious between their lime green, no prices and 1980's website where you can't click and buy everything. But they do make nice stuff. I'd like to find a gym loaded with Prime so I can try more of their stuff. I do respect their integrity making you pay retail unlike Rep who gave every person with 5 subs and their grandmother a bench. Thanks for posting the price, it's refreshing. New gym is looking nice 👍
Thanks for the link to the knurled nobs that also fit on the Transformer Bar, the ball they use is not ideal. Love your commitment to your color scheme!
I think the stack looks great on it’s own but I agree with you that it shouldn’t be mandatory to have their lime green. I’d want to have a more neutral colour too. Great video as always!
Looks amazing! I’m the same way, if it doesn’t match my colour scheme, it would annoy the heck out of me. Ever consider changing the pulley wheels to annoy bearings? I heard it gives it a smoother rotation.
Prime fitness is no joke man. Their "smart strength" feature is a game changer! You should try prime equipment at gym, like MI40 Gym which owned by IFBB Pro Ben Pakulski
I like how you give your own twist to everything. I do this myself as well, even with clothing sometimes. In the end if you want to be happy with a product or anything just give it your own touch or do it yourself :P
Don't know what your day job is, but I suspect that when every detail of a job needs to be right the boss says, "put BCD on it, he chases down all the minutiae."
Nice addition & thanks for all the great info and workarounds. Black looks sooo much better for sure 👍Question unrelated to the equipment the shirt has an American flag - haven’t followed rep in several months but isn’t REP stuff from China?
Much better. Yeah you're right, for the price you're paying, they should be doing anything you want even putting your logo onto the side instead of theirs.
@@BasementBrandon the toughest part for that would be the red smith bar though...think that could just be brought down to raw steel and then re-powder coated?
Yeah I really don't like the green on the prime stuff either, guess it somewhat works when the rest of it is in black. Didn't fit with your setup as a whole for sure. Looks much better now!
Can you recommend a cheap lat pull down that works and doesn't cost 5 grand like urs lol...!? Ordered a rml-390f rack but don't like rogues options so was thinking of gettin a stand alone
Great content as usual! Do you know what size bolts prime uses on their top crossmembers? I’m trying to see if I can retrofit their pullup system on my RML rack. Thank you!
Bruhhhh. With all the equipment Brandon has in his basement, he should just start charging people to workout in his gym. Maybe the next move is from his basement to a commercial space???
I want to buy either 2 x Prime Fitness Selectorized Single Stack or 1 x Rogue Lat Pulldown stand alone and 2x Rogue Cable Tower. Which one would you choose and which one do you think has the better quality?
I think they're both going to be high quality. You'll prob get some more color options from Prime at this point (for an upcharge). I think the biggest difference is going to be the height they take up. IIRC Rogues are all taller.
@@BasementBrandon Oh gawd, I didn't even think about shortening the cables. I've never even crimped a cable before. With a squat rack I think it'd be easier.
Hey Brandon would you happen to have anymore of those small black rubber handles out of your 25 pack lol. Going to change out all my prime green this week.
@@BasementBrandon I have always wondered, how come you don’t have any type of leg press or hack squat machine? Does it not fit into your training regimen…
@@BasementBrandon I am a firm believer that once you pay for it, you can do whatever you want to it 😂. I would have hoped an expensive premium piece might come with more customization for companies or professionals
@@BasementBrandon fair enough... sneak peek on the punchline (twice as good as an elite fts ssb)? That is, I'm considering just getting a titan ssb for under $300.
All the dislikes came from prime fitness 😂
That and green lovers.
Thanks Brandon! Glad I could help ya with the mods. It looks so much better now!
appreciate you my dude.
Lime green 😅, maybe one of the owners is that old Caribbean guy from the old Sprite commercials back in the day. Gives that joyful laugh whenever anyone asks for there to be no green
I know a lot who like it, but just not for me!
Watched a video on tips for a piece of equipment that will likely never be in my possession....at least I helped the algorithm. Lol
I appreciate ya!
Nice upgrade. I think Green/Neon looked okay on your stack. I don't know why I like it, maybe I am weird! BTW custom caps are sick!
Thanks my dude! They weren't bad, but I think the all black looks a lot cleaner!
McMaster-Carr is super expensive, but they have literally everything. If you can find it somewhere else get it there; for all the things that you can't find anywhere else McMaster-Carr has got you covered.
Good call out. Truth be told I didn't spend much time looking.
I lmao’ed when you said that 5:29. You’re not alone though ;-;
😂

They're prob not hurting for business, but def agree!
OCD finally solved lesss gooo 🤝👑
Lol
Are you gonna try to solve the seat wobble? I'm very intrigued about that one.
I added some uhmw tape and it helped but taking it on and off chewed it up
I think the best course would be to add a thicker UHMW layer. Question is where would you buy one?
@@raveevar7836 there are plenty of UHMW sheets in various thickness on amazon. you just cut to size and super glue in place
@@BasementBrandon I've got a wobble issue with my dip station and I'm gonna 3D print a shim to fit the space perfect, I think something like that would be a good solution.

Breaking stuff as you learn to be handy is part of the learning experience. It can be frustrating but it teaches you what not to do
I'd rather break cheaper stuff TBH lol
I've got the lat pulldown seat for my Rogue RM4 in black cerakote, I hate those green knobs also...lol! Just ordered two black knobs, thanks Brandon!
Haha right on!
Great job. That green would drive me crazy too. So much nicer now.
No one cares about their signature green color, lol.
Right?!

I find it's pretty typical for "commercial" suppliers. I'm looking at leg ext/curls right now and no one has prices listed online.
Thanks for the link to the knurled nobs that also fit on the Transformer Bar, the ball they use is not ideal. Love your commitment to your color scheme!
I have heard some people have issues with theirs but they worked fine on mine.
I think the stack looks great on it’s own but I agree with you that it shouldn’t be mandatory to have their lime green. I’d want to have a more neutral colour too.

Thanks Rob!

Can’t believe you made a video to change colour of a small piece of plastic... come on man hahaha
I made it bc tons of people requested 😂
I don't blame you one bit for swapping out the prime green. Hard to believe they are sticklers on that.
Yeah, wish they'd allow for a bit more customization for the price!
man...I LOVE this fucking channel! always great content on here...thanks Brandon
appreciate ya dude.
Thanks for paving the way for us!!!!!
I looked for a video like this to help me do it, so paying it forward lol
Ah yes, another day of me looking at gym equipment I'll never buy since I've moved exclusively to dumbbells except for deadlifts.
Hahah appreciate the watch
All those nylon knobs can also be dyed. Rit dye works wonders on nylon.
I appreciate your attention to detail. Keep it up Brandon.
Good to know!
I tried the rit Dye, It doesn't permeate 100%
I call dibs when you sell it in 8 weeks
Lol
That basement brandon knob is so nice 🤣🤣🤣
Hey now
YEP!
Lol

Love it. Gimme more Prime videos
What would you like to see?
@@BasementBrandon Honesty, anything. I love my prime equipment so much, so I enjoy seeing other people opinions on theirs.
Nice addition & thanks for all the great info and workarounds. Black looks sooo much better for sure 👍Question unrelated to the equipment the shirt has an American flag - haven’t followed rep in several months but isn’t REP stuff from China?
"designed in the USA" :)
Modding your $4,200 prime stack looked way more stressful than my stuck end cap on my barbell 😅
Haha anything that's "new" and you decide to change is always a tension filled experiene.
Much better. Yeah you're right, for the price you're paying, they should be doing anything you want even putting your logo onto the side instead of theirs.
Would be nice!
White and black rack gang checking in.
Yessir!
May have to do something like this to get all the red off of my inspire ft2!
Right on!
@@BasementBrandon the toughest part for that would be the red smith bar though...think that could just be brought down to raw steel and then re-powder coated?
@@jl7kicks Prob but prob not fun and or cheap
Did you contact Bare steel for the custom logo option for the pin? It doesn't look like they offer it on the site
Yes I did.
Yeah I really don't like the green on the prime stuff either, guess it somewhat works when the rest of it is in black. Didn't fit with your setup as a whole for sure. Looks much better now!
Was an easy/fun mod!
Can you recommend a cheap lat pull down that works and doesn't cost 5 grand like urs lol...!?
Ordered a rml-390f rack but don't like rogues options so was thinking of gettin a stand alone
I would highly recommend looking for a used plate loaded one on FB marketplace!
Shout out my guy Danny!
Truth!
My wife has come to accept that I just watch videos of bald men talk about their "equipment"
at least I'm not alone!
Whoms stuff is too long*
Great stuff!
Thanks!
Looks great
Thanks Chris!
Crazy how I actually painted every piece of gear I own a beautiful lime green, it matches my black and white walls perfectly.
Right on!
I grew up with "car" guys....you're much like a "car" guy for gym equipment
Lol getting there!
I have to agree with this. I just ordered the handles and the long bar. I cannot stand the green . I would of done the same
Glad I'm not alone!
Dude your gym is jaw dropping.
Thanks! I see a lot that put mine to shame, but they just don't put em on RUclips!
@basementbrandon. Did you ever upload a full review of this single stack? I can’t seem to find it.
I haven’t. I should!
Great content as usual! Do you know what size bolts prime uses on their top crossmembers? I’m trying to see if I can retrofit their pullup system on my RML rack. Thank you!
I'm not sure off hand, but the holes look to be 5/8" on mine. I'd reach out to them!
Thank you so much! Appreciate your fast response!
you are committed to anti-green...everyone has their thing...way to go
Not so much anti green, just want to keep the black and white theme
Bruhhhh. With all the equipment Brandon has in his basement, he should just start charging people to workout in his gym. Maybe the next move is from his basement to a commercial space???
Lol, the best part of a home gym is not having to share it!
5:34 chill
no chill gill
0:52 - No, that’s our signature puke 🤢 color.
lol
Hey dude, can you tell me the thickness of the Steel plates of the single stack prime please ?
Could you either shoot me an email (in the info box) or a DM on IG? Will be easier for me to locate and get back to you.
Another comment just for the size and length jokes
Hey now!
"smaller, and not as thick"
Yea, that's my whole jam.
But looks good!
I hear that.
Brandon is still hilarious, Great video.
appreciate you watching!
@@BasementBrandon been a fan for years, keep up the great work................and stay big!
How had the black knurled knobs been holding up? Would you recommend them over the stainless steel ones?
No issues for me! I'd only go stainless if you wanted that aesthetic or were worried about oxidation.
"DS thing" i know why im seeing you on MJR now!
TBH I never owned one lol. Never really got into handhelds!
@Basement Brandon Where did you get your black & white camo shorts?
These are from HVIII Brand Goods
I want to buy either 2 x Prime Fitness Selectorized Single Stack or 1 x Rogue Lat Pulldown stand alone and 2x Rogue Cable Tower. Which one would you choose and which one do you think has the better quality?
I think they're both going to be high quality. You'll prob get some more color options from Prime at this point (for an upcharge). I think the biggest difference is going to be the height they take up. IIRC Rogues are all taller.
Wow that's very expensive for a single stack pin loaded machine
It's actually about average when speaking of commercial equipment.
Yeah, not a fan of green either. That would bug me too. Nice work!
Thanks!
When are you swapping out the red resistance knob on the peloton?
That doesn't bother me TBH
Just don’t remove me from your life like you did with all those other knobs 😅
I see what you did there.
Start your morning with porn? No.
Start your morning with Basement Brandon innuendos? Yes.
They make multiple tabs for a reason. Why not both?!
Kinda thought you were going to cut the lat pull down so that it would fit in low height ceilings lol
I think doing that would require a lot more work as you'd have to then adjust the cables, guide rods, etc.
@@BasementBrandon Oh gawd, I didn't even think about shortening the cables. I've never even crimped a cable before.
With a squat rack I think it'd be easier.
All my strive pieces have yellow. Not sure why they went from yellow to green, but both are meh. (at least the cams are red)
Do you like the offset loading pins?
Hey Brandon would you happen to have anymore of those small black rubber handles out of your 25 pack lol. Going to change out all my prime green this week.
Ah sorry they went surprisingly quick!
Haha watching this video almost a year later thinking you still had them 🤦🏻
@@Adampunishment88 I was surprised at how fast they went
@@BasementBrandon
I have always wondered, how come you don’t have any type of leg press or hack squat machine? Does it not fit into your training regimen…
@@Adampunishment88 Doesn't really make sense to have one. Can do lots of lower body volume with a barbell and save on space too
You could’ve just put the darn thing in the over at 400 for 10 minutes.
That doesn't sound like a good time.
@@BasementBrandon yeah if you aren’t in any hurry it turned out just fine.
I also face plates in. Are you supposed to do it another way? Is this a thing people hate on?
Yepppp
Is the hole in the weight pin a custom option?
Standard
Can you sell the handle covers after you do weird stuff with them?
Prob would increase the value.
Shame you had to delete the prime time green and they wouldn't work with you for such a custom and piece
Seems like such an easy ask, but will make me feel better if I replace the P logo with my own now :)
@@BasementBrandon I am a firm believer that once you pay for it, you can do whatever you want to it 😂. I would have hoped an expensive premium piece might come with more customization for companies or professionals
11:23 ghost 😨😱
I don't think I follow lol
@@BasementBrandon haha there was a scream of a child in the background 😆😂
How did Danny get rid of the prime logo and put his own infamous strength logo?
It’s just a decal. Can prob use a hair dryer and scrape off
It's just a decal, Peeled it off with my fingers and slapped a new logo on there.
@@DannyTran_infms awesome thanks for the reply dude
Shoutout to DS gamers 🌚
pew pew pew
Does this void the warranty?
Shouldn’t biting you really need service you can just swap the pieces back.
Red Loctite is defeated at 650° Fahrenheit. Get a cheap heat gun from harbor freight and it will come off after 4 minutes
I think at that point the cap will also melt.
@@BasementBrandon lol you might be surprised with these new polymers. It didn’t melt the crush washer on a muzzle device I was removing
Lol worried about marring something that's going to be covered =D
:)
What a yuppie 😝
😘
Paint
Paint wouldn’t last here.
Several transformer bar refs, no review... upcoming?
eventually. I have so many things to do reviews on. It's pretty far down on the list as I've only used it twice.
@@BasementBrandon fair enough... sneak peek on the punchline (twice as good as an elite fts ssb)? That is, I'm considering just getting a titan ssb for under $300.
Here for that algorithm, and I’m early this time
My man
That pin with ur logo is b a...
Came out nice!
toxic vomit green
lol
why is a single stack $4200?
This is a commercial piece. Pretty standard pricing.
