Great meeting you and appreciate the shout out and kind words!
Awesome meeting you too brother. Got to get you on the channel talking about the best ways to train grip sometime with your products. Ironically the lamp next to me in this video had octopus legs.
You make interesting exercise equipment. I just ordered the monster curl bar and revolving ladder from your company. I am looking forward to using them even though I am a 67-year-old exercise enthusiast, who has never arm wrestled and has no desire to do so. I suggest you consider marketing your products to exercise enthusiasts, who want to increase the maximum number of pull-ups they can do. For instance, pull-ups are one of the strength and endurance skills tested in the United States Marine Corps physical fitness test. In my opinion, your grip training devices will aid cross-fitters, exercise enthusiasts, and U.S. Marines wanting to improve their pull-up numbers by increasing the time they can hang on to a pull-up bar.
@@shiwakuseven5859 yes grip strength is not trained to the level is should be IMO by many different athletes.
As for the marketing aspect I make everything myself but I am in a position I need to make a decision about hiring another employee as I am
at capacity of what I can do solo, so the marketing happens organically. Appreciate the kind words!
That ATX hack squat/leg press combo is FIRE. At least from observation. We need some of their quality tweaks to our US models. Wish they shipped overseas. Thanks for the video.
Yeah it’s pretty sweet I actually won it and just unloaded it this evening
Word from the ATX Fitness guys when I DM'd them, they are coming to the US market soon. Even their prices now are in US pricing on their website 🤞
@@conqueringbarbell2101 that is encouraging. I emailed them awhile back inquiring about this but haven’t gotten a reply. Wonder what that timeframe will look like..
Link please@@conqueringbarbell2101
That atx belt squat looks so cute and minimal. I also caught a glimpse of the pretty mayhem speckled bumper plates. Fun video. Thanks for sharing!
One of my regrets from this conference is not spending more time at the ATX booth and playing more with Titans belt squat. Thanks again for watching.
@@hybridresistanceAtx...best equipement home Gym in the world!
ATX was definitely my favorite booth. Great bunch of guys and I ended up taking home a bar from them.
They probably had the cleanest most professional looking booth. One of my biggest regrets was not spending much time in there. I think my brain just saw big machines that I knew weren't for me or at least couldn't fit in my garage.
I noticed a couple other channels mention this conference and I had never heard of it before. Thanks for taking the time to make it out there and breaking it down for us viewers, very informative. 👍
Thanks so much, Larry. Like I said in the video, it was news to me as well and I have you guys to thank or more specifically Frank for the heads up.
What a cool experience thanks as always for sharing.
Thanks, Lou. Happy you found it helpful.
That's amazing! I'm so glad you got to go. I hope you can make it out to Los Angeles to go to the Los Angeles fit expo out here in January
Thanks man. That's a beast in of itself of a show for sure. I'd love to go to that.
I never knew this conference existed… this looks so cool to go to. Thanks for sharing ~ great review as always!!
Thanks Nikki. Great to hear you enjoyed. Definitely some stuff there I think you'd enjoy.
Its such a fun time, and it ended way too quick. I cannot wait for next year in Louisville, however something about French Lick connects with me.
I ended up not checking as much stuff out as i would have liked as it was so easy to connect with people and spend forever talking about equipment.
I hear you. I loved the location, minus the close calls on that narrow back roads in.
@@hybridresistance haha thats what i like. Im a small town country boy. Big city next year scares me.
I loved getting to see Indiana. I don't think I would have ever seen it any other way. I stayed in Salem.
ATX has some awesome multi functional stuff.
I honestly didn't look too much into them until I saw them here. Definitely some cool stuff.
Hey man great review! It was great seeing you too! I can tell you that Saturday was definitely more active than Friday. It was cool watching all the competitions that day too. I'm not sure if you saw but there actually was a Harambe booth there too but I think they got lost in the shuffle. I think there should have been more portable representation and hopefully next year there will be. Moving to Louisville will probably bring in more people too because there's an airport right there.
Thanks Frank, not a detailed production but more of a rundown of my experience. Good to hear about Saturday, I figured that would be a bigger turn out. I did catch Harambe and talked to the "GOOB" man for a bit, but believe or not just forgot to film footage of their booth. I think you're right about the next year being a bigger deal being near an airport. Awesome seeing you there and meeting you again. Now you got to let me know if you're going to some comic cons.
@@hybridresistance I actually go to quite a few! I have a cousin in your area too so I'll let you know!
I’d like to go next year! Thanks for showing this!
No problem. Thanks for watching
Great overview!
Thank you.
It would be great to have one of these closer to home (Long Island, NY for me). It would also be great to have a variety of the sliding bench vendors there, to give potential customers a chance to try out the different brands and different models. Same with some of the new electronic home gyms, and certainly with that Flexicon machine you just featured. Good clip!
Thanks William.
Awesome!
Thanks Jay
Your chair and wall kept tripping me out reminds me of a hospital bed / room lol
Great episode
Haha, wasn't actually at my house. Ironically I was sitting next to an octopus leg lamp.
Definitely felt like a lot of “iron” like you mentioned and was really laid back. I enjoyed it and all the vendors were very friendly and willing to share. Agreed that it felt awkward to try stuff out since I didn’t see too many people trying stuff. I’ll go back next year to Louisville
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I wasn't sure if it was just me that was noticing that. I actually had my intensions set on getting on a full workout at the convention.
Definitely a cool conference
I'd have went, had I known about it. I'll probably hit it up next year.
Looks like a lot of fun you must have been a celebrity there!
Thanks man. Definitely no celebrity for sure, but I had a good time.
I walked past you several times and I thought you looked familiar but I wasn't sure. Now I wish that I'd have stopped you to say Hi! There's always next year though! Would love to have you as a guest on my morning show on Friday to talk about your reactions to the event especially since it was your first one!
Thanks brother, likewise. I was going to introduce myself, but I figured you guys has an enough going on with coverage and event set up. Would love to come on and have you on the channel as well. Thanks again for reaching out.
@@hybridresistance okay I will shoot you an email!
Definitely looks like Heaven, no pun intended, god bless bro.
Thanks as always, brother. God bless to you as well.
Maaaaan I knew I saw you up there bro. I was on the phone with my wife and I passed by you and I knew that was you but my wife was talking to me about several things.
I was in the arm grip competition and paid for it with a jacked up hand for now! lol super sore😂 . Wish I had a chance to speak with you in person and all . I stayed till Saturday evening and drove back home 4hrs away
Wish I did catch you too brother. Always next year. How was the turn out on Saturday?
@@hybridresistance Saturday was about the same. Depending if you stayed for more deadlift completion and all. Toward the end was where most vendors were selling their equipment for half off and even more to the degree that it was a giveaway. It was great meeting people and building the community more.
Honestly I have mixed feeling towards the DJ and some things but overall the event was well put together and positive. Convos were great, comedy and competition. It took a bit to warm up to some people ..
I wish more vendors were there but things happen which is understandable. Next year indeed
@@IronMayne thanks man for that very informative response. Probably catch you year.
Good overview.
Thanks Brian
That's pretty cool! 💯💯💪💪I'm getting the comic-con feel from some of these folks though💯💯😂😂 It's akin to looking at the back of a comic book from the 70s or 80s with Charlie Atlas....and the zit popper machines. God bless your soul for having that kind of patience. Pretty neat concept though. I would actually go if something like this was nearby. I bet there were actually some pretty cool gadgets, doodads, and thingamajigs. If I ever do go though...I call dibbs on the Ronnie Coleman cosplay. Btw, nothin beats that guy playin' Pebbles n' Bam Bam with the Mallet though💪💪💪💪💪💪💯💯😂😂 Best video ever! I know you had fun!!!!!!💪💪💯💯
It definitely has comic con vibes for sure. If you’re calling dibs, you better deliver on that next year.
I would be tempted to buy more stuff lol
I saw a video on reddit of the flexicon looks interesting
Thanks Joel. Thanks for sending that.
What's the device called from Armed Assassin's that was a practical bag for your buck?
It was the "Inch Axel Wrench" I believe the 2 2/8" size with three hold bar and then a loading pin for weights. I may even make a whole video on it because it wasn't the most intuitive thing to use w/out the tips he gave me at the convention.
Subscribed! I was there too. Next year, let’s connect, Brother.
For sure! Thanks man.
I saw the Ironmaster bench. Did you, by chance, get a close look at it? if so, what did you think?
I did jump on it for a little bit, but it honestly wasn’t something that I looked too much into. I was definitely spending a lot more time just playing with the dumbbells as I never saw those up close.
Iron master product are great . IM 2000 and bench are One of the best piece of home Gym equipement! We will see IM 3000 this year ?!
Titan Squat Max MD BEST leg machine ever built glad its in this video. I added 30%+ strength and 2 inches to legs in 2.5 months with it. I also am huge fan of Rep's cambered bar for chest, back and its my favorite shoulder press just feels so good.
I'm eyeing that Squat Max HD, but I don't know where I'd put it. Comments like this though are making me think I need to fit it in.
@@hybridresistance I kicked my wife out of garage her car that is for it and it works. I am getting so strong and quads blowing up. I'm 53 and did 240lbs for 10 reps today its at least 40% harder than regular squats weight wise but I feel safe on it as I can't hurt lower back/hips etc. I still squat but usually 135lbs warmup, 185x15 and maybe 225x10 to 12 just a set or two some days for hips, lower back etc. It really doesn't have that big a footprint 25-35% smaller than Rogue Rhino which might be #2 best belt squat. If I didn't have cable system would have bought that one for bent over rows/shrugs and easy setup but damn its huge. If you get the Titan use box knife to cut off foam on weight loading pin it adds resistance and add 7/8" PVC pipe fits perfectly and is smoother. I failed early on on 8th rep was rubbing and I couldn't lift it up. Now buttery smooth. Showed it to a couple I met at community pool who lift he loved it and did 150lbs for 8 or 9 reps said he wishes his gym had it. His wife did 100lbs for 8 or so reps my wife doesn't squat can barely lift 50lbs for 5 reps. If you want strong big legs a must have! Feels good on back like having spine pulled a bit and hanging for 45+ secs on pullup bar.
I missed this reply initially, thanks for all of this. I'm about ready to pull that trigger brother based on your endorsement.
@@hybridresistance You will love it.
Next year will be in Louisville, so should be easier to attend. Were you there on Saturday also? Better crowd & more energy than Saturday, IMO.
No I was actually only there for the set up on Thursday and Friday so I could see how Saturday would have been a better turn out.
I saw a leaked video of the Flexicon online looks interesting
Is this convention going to other cities too?
No, it’s only held once a year I believe. Word on the street, it will be in Louisville next year.
Did any of the sponsors have any sale prices for those who attended? Or discount codes??
I saw some but nothing really too crazy. At least from what I saw. I was surprised at how many people didn’t have things on site to actually purchase because there was a couple things I wanted to pick up, but they didn’t have in stock at the show . There were definitely deals to be had if you were ready to purchase equipment on site as many companies wanted to offload the equipment and not have to pack it and ship it back. that is probably one of the biggest perks about attending something like this.
@@hybridresistance oh wow, that’s awesome information to know!!
ATX was selling their whole both. A multigrip tricep bar was all I could fit in my luggage though. Some were selling their floor benches off too. Nice bars too.
Whose rack was better , Bolt or Vesta?
Kind hard to say off memory. They both stood out to me on the cost, but the vesta looked a little more compact.
I thought Bolt but that's just my impression. Bolt was showing more attachments.
maybe rhere needs to be a hybrid resistance conference with funky stuff
That would be awesome. I was actually thinking we should do something like that but more so online with some of the recommended brands.
New force usa product ?
Yes, you probably will be seeing or hearing about it very soon. It’s pretty cool
A new all in one rack?@@hybridresistance
I didn't now this was a thing. I might have to try to make it one year, if they keep it going. Did you see any other RUclipsrs? Coop from Garage Gym Reviews come to mind.
The only person I recognized was the Glucks Gym guy, but that was pretty much it. I went up and said hi to him briefly (don't think he knew who I was). I'm sure he'll have a big video coming out because he had what looked like a videographer with him. Like I was saying I don't think I'm as involved in that "community" as much or follow many people to recognize anyone. There really wasn't many people there which I don't know if it was just the marketing of the show or just a representation that this community really isn't that big in general. I think you would have loved it though. You probably could have had your own booth with some of your home make equipment.
Gluck, Luke's Gym, Massenomics, and a few others whose channel names escape me.
Haha I have the original pepin fast dumbbells they are amazing best piece in my home gym …pricier then my ironmaster 2000 tho 😂
I'm trying to figure out what the major difference in the original versus these newer ones versus just being mass produced overseas compared to Canada.
@@hybridresistance likely the mass production and some of the aesthetic finishes
Rogue was a complete azz to Tim with GymCrafter. They said they were not doing any interviews at all for social media. They are lagging behind in product development, and they know it. They probably are tired of people asking what they’re doing or what Products they will be coming out within the future.
Also the Rep-pins dumbbells look SO SWEET!!
I can’t say anything specific to them as I didn’t really inquire too much, but it definitely wasn’t a show where I felt the big companies were actively coming out to pull you in.
I don’t see how them not wanting to do an “official” overview on a small time RUclipsrs channel is them being an ass. They could have had a “clause” of some sort to not do any social media “interviews” on a new piece of equipment releasing in a few days. As a RUclips reviewer, he should have done his own review for his subscribers and not let his own disappointment run him away.
PRX there?
I don't think so, unless I missed that.
Great overview!
You have to be the platform logo I shot. Thanks man!
@@hybridresistance yep, that rack insert is something that Nate at ExecutiveFit and I discussed at HGC '23 and he brought it this year to get feedback. It'll eventually make it's way to my gym. Hope to meet you next year!
