Love the concept!! Great video
Thank you!! I appreciate ya watching!!
i need one of these. Great video!
Man I wish my gym had something like this. Great video!
Thanks for watching!!! Glad you enjoyed!
Yeah man, great video!
Thanks buddy! Glad you enjoyed!
Wowww great video😍😍
Great video !!!! 💪🏼
Appreciate that!!
Nice review! Thanks. I just bought a pair bc my shoulders are giving me some trouble especially on shoulder press…kicking the weights up pass 50lbs is just not smart sense. I have IM quick lock adjustable dumbbells so the info is helpful to make sure they fit properly.
They've actually updated them for the better since I made this video as well as introduce a pro version! I hope you like them! Appreciate you watching!!
Great video!!! 😄
Thanks! Glad ya enjoyed!
Good video man!
Thanks buddy!
Great video 👌🏼👌🏼
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Noice! Very informative 😀
Thanks bruh!
I need some of these!
Do it!!!! (at least before the coupon expires...lol)
great review.
Appreciate you watching! Unfortunately most of the stated specs are no longer relevant due to Mad Spotter has since redesigned the hooks (for the better by the way), but it at least gives ya an idea as to how they perform!
I wish one day to have a garage gym like Matt Pendergraph. 🏋️♂️🏋️♂️🏋️♂️💪💪
😂😂😂!! You can come over and admire it any time bruh!!
First, Wolverine is well known for his finishing move the berserker rage. You need to put on the classic yellow suit and bersker rage with those Mad Spotters! Second, you struggling to kick up the 20 pounders is infomercial picture perfect. I imagine you also have an issue opening jars without it ending in an embarrassing mess. 🤣
LOL!!! I TOTALLY wish I had a Wolverine costume!!! Too funny!! Opening jars, chopping nuts, soaking up spilled messes...I struggle with ALL of this!!! lol
🧠 beats 💪🏾 everytime.
Completely agree! Thanks for watching!
Niceee!! Sing me in!
I do enjoy me a good montage.
🤦♂️ I can't help it!! I'm probably the BIGGEST Rocky fan ever!!! 😂
Always seem to find you on these smaller channels
Those are cool, I want some. But after I get a rack, lol. 😆
Yeah they are!!! Appreciate ya watching!
Nice 😎🤙🏼
Thank you!
Any idea if these will fit in a powerblock dumbell? Thanks
If you have Instagram, check this out: instagram.com/p/CVBe3qYB7S-/ ....as this guy uses his with powerblocks. (I'm not sure of the model he has or If he had to do anything special in order to make them work but he's using his hooks with powerblocks)
Purchased these but I found that the hooks flip backwards after unhooking them initially. I then have to maneuver my hands so that the hook gets back up on top and I can rehook them. Wish they would stay up so I don't have to fret about getting them reattached after my set. The neoprene cover doesn't hold these. (Used on loadable dumbbells). I can also attest that they don't work with Powerblocks.
Oh no!! I've stopped using mine with the neoprene simply because I find it easier to keep the hooks oriented correctly (you might try that if you haven't already). Sorry to hear they don't work with powerblocks! That's a bummer!
What happens if you fail on these and have to drop them?
DON'T FAIL!! 😂..Such a good question that I should have addressed in the video 🤦♂️. From my experience, nothing happens. The hooks remain attached just kinda flop out of the way. You'd have to drop them in such a particular way in order to potentially damage them, and even then I still think the hooks would swivel out of the way due to they aren't fixed tight in the handles.
That’s where Spot Grips becomes superior to this product, though at a severe price bump.
@@erisd8452 Not sure if you follow me on IG or not, but I posted a reel yesterday answering the "what happens if you drop them question"...they literally just move out of the way! PLUS....you'd have to drop them in such a odd/unusual/not normal way in order to put these things in any potential risk! (In the reel I drop these SEVERAL times!! lol....check it out!)
Hey Matt-Are you going to get the 10% off promo code anytime soon again?
Not sure 😬.... it's possible, but I can't say for sure or even when! I currently just have the 5% off
The question is also durability of the neoprene grips. Has the company stated how long these are expected to last? Neoprene isn't known for being all that durable.
Good point. I've honestly stopped using the wraps altogether...ACTUALLY...I've stopped using this spotter in general since they released their Pro version. Such a better design IMO
@@MattPendergraph I might have to give the pro version a whirl. I have to be extremely careful throwing dumbbells into position. I lost count of the number of times I’ve injured my shoulders when the dumbbells didn’t make it to the proper position.
Versaspot seemed like a good solution too, but they seem to have gone out of business.
@@mikeb9396 someone else told me they went out of business as well! I hate that because they seemed to have a great product. Yeah, check out my comparison article on both the standard and pros. www.mattpendergraph.com/product-reviews/mad-spotter-hooks-review
they need to reduce these to 4.5", wont fit nuobells and potentially tight for a heavy handle ironmaster dumbell sadly.
Would these work with bow flex 1090s?
Hard to say without actually ever owning a pair of them. I'd recommend using the measurements I give in the video and comparing them to your handle measurements to see if they're compatible
I just bought them and I just tried them on my 1090s. They do not fit. They do fit the 552s
I just received the smaller version and they fit the 1090s. They haven't come out to purchase yet, but they sent me a pair after I sent the company feedback.
@@frankiejaquez3217 What's new with the updated version other than the size? Anything?
@@MattPendergraph it really is just the size of them. They're a bit more narrow, they hang down the same as the others, and the quality is still great. I was surprised how well they fit because the grip on the 1090s are a little awkward. But they fit perfectly.
Wpw. Those would totally ruin my best dumbbell press avoidance excuses. Not sure I'm ready for that.
😂😂!! Say no more, I COMPLETELY understand!
These are a bit of a silly price for what they do. I tried looking on line for a set of S hooks that are strong enough to do the same job - ultimately, I wouldnt want mess about trying to hook these back at the end of a set. So, I would only need something to hold the dumbells in the starting position. Sadly, I couldnt find any S hooks big enough and strong enough. Industrial meathooks look like they might work, but tend to have rather nasty points on them.
I think the price is very reasonable (especially considering the alternatives on the market plus they're even cheaper after using the 10% code) Unfortunately I've purchased gym equipment for double the price and gotten less use out of it!! LOL. Seriously, overall I'm happy with mine!
Might make sense for higher rep exercises but the neoprene seems unwieldy when getting closer to your max weights. Using a barbell to bench with dumbbells attached is brilliant though and replicates the variable strength curve for Prime Fitness machines and the Transformer Bar from Kabuki for squats. If I get these for that purpose alone, I’ll use your code.
So the cool thing is (and I didn't talk about it in the video) you DON'T have to use the neoprene cover (I think they probably want you to for safety reasons as they obviously help keep the hook attached) but I've used them without multiple times and they work just fine!b definitely take advantage of the 10% while it lasts if you're thinking about grabbing them!
where can we buy them?
Check out the video description for the link and coupon code!
@@MattPendergraph How can we buy them from you?
@@margemillman1718 oh I don't sell them. I just made a product review/linked up with the company for a coupon code to offer to anyone interested in purchasing.
Really struggling with that weight 😆
Thanks for noticing....🤦♂️
I have nothing to add, I’m just here to boost your stats.
😂 Thanks guy!! That's what I like to hear! 🤪
The bench , and squat have a lift off point. I don’t understand the people that think its silly for the dumbbells to have a lift off point.
Yep! Couldn't agree more!
I had a horrible experience with this, I'm alright though the spot hook is bent hit the rack because it felt so fuking awkward
Update i got a replacement sent out to me, I think i am going to be using these for dumbbell shoulder presses.
Great news!!! I'm a HUGE fan of the company as they've been great with me (excellent communication!). Glad to hear they helped you out!
Oh no!!! Just seen this and your follow up! Glad they made it right for ya!
These DO NOT work with powerblocks... I have two pair of power blocks (urethane and elite) each go to 125 but these will not hook around the hand grip in any manner you try (unless you disassemble the handles)... You'd also have to put them in the bottom of the handle if they were to somehow fit, to adjust the weight would be impractical forcing you to load the weight upside down with the spotters pointed up... I was going to get a pair of Olympic dumbbell handles anyway to exceed the weight cap I currently have so it's not a complete waste for me but just an FYI for those out there
Thank you for that, as it's the MOST ask question I receive!!! I don't own power blocks, therefore I can NEVER answer it!!! lol. Thanks again!
@@MattPendergraph you're welcome.. sorry they don't work with your heavier fixed DBs sure they are more ideal for those heavier weights but at least you can still use them with your loadables.
You never buy anything. You only complain in every video thread.
The site say 4,7 inch + is ok and you say 5 inc +... so who right ?
They've updated the hooks since my review. They are now more narrow, black, and the rubber tips are more secure. Go with the website specs.
@@MattPendergraph oh I see, thx for the very fast answer :)
@@michaelgagne7242 no problem!! Check my videos.... I actually just published a short showing off their newest version (Not available on their website yet)
Imagine doing a heavy ass set to failure and then missing the rerack only to have the dumbbell come smashing into your face. Also why would you hang that thing off the end of a barbell?
What can I say? I enjoy the risk! 😉😂
Again it's not a complaint it's just something to be aware of...Realistically it's just a relatively minor complaint.. huh lol
😂.... yeah 🤦♂️....I was more or less saying the grip feeling isn't a complaint, but everything else was...BUT... they're relatively minor complaints! 😂. Poor wordage on my part
@@MattPendergraph they need to make one that just wrap around the handle securing the dumbbells safety so we can use the dumbbells own knurled grip
@@thisguyrighthere4634 The cool thing (that I don't even mention in the video) is that you don't technically have to use the neoprene wrap! I use it for peace of mind, but it's not necessary due to the bar of the hooks is in your grip (which is ultimately what keeps them in your hand anyways) I'm making a follow up vid HOPEFULLY addressing everything I missed in this vid, so stay tuned for that!
This is a ridiculous product. DiWhy
Depends on the user IMO. I dumbbell press with/without and both have their pros/cons
fake
Which part? I can assure you that the hooks are very real! 😁
Overall, I feel like these dumbbell spotters are a SOLID purchase (especially considering their price point vs any other option on the market!). They're well constructed, easy to use, and solve one of the biggest aggravations of using dumbbells!
