Cool i wanted to see these in action more, im actually waiting for a couple of 24 inch tubes straydog sells to add to my already existing sliding lever arns and switch out when i want a different feel. This will cost me about 2-3 hundred total to create my own Goat attachments. Thanks for the vid
Good video. I've been considering the same. Some questions. (1) I was considering the JDGym 8" straight handles, but it looks like you have the Oak Club Campbells. Got me thinking that maybe the angled handles help offset the ROM issues that shorter arms present. What are your thoughts on the angled versus the straight handles? (2) After a year of using them, do you still have a boner for them, or are there regrets? Thanks
I wonder if I can add longer arms to my goat arm to do pressing movements, at least 34inches to get better range of motion? Thinking about getting another one. It looks like I could since I just need to remove the bolt in the center of the brackets. I like the goat better due to the brackets and also the fact that they are easy to remove.
Great review. Looking into getting a pair. I want to get those 45 degree handles for a more neutral/angled grip for chest /shoulder movements. Have you used them for that?
Hi, GREAT video curious if you're still using and enjoying them? I've been looking at smaller, easily removable lever arms for awhile and never got them because I have two cable systems on my Rep rack. I want a Hammer Strength type movement for shoulders and incline presses and these look great and I can also use the continuous resistance from cable system fast to change weights for drop sets! I'd love to know which attachments you bought especially the knurled grips!
So yes, I do use them almost every workout for different exercises. The grips are from Rogue fitness and are actually their pull-up single grip bars. then for the plates I just use the single plate holders from Rogue. I highly suggest them
I've come back to these as I'd like more variety for chest and shoulders and might also use them for lats and rowing. Still enjoying them? As I have a cable system would have to attach and take off but looks fast only a min or two max per side right? What are your favorite exercises you're still doing on them?
Do you think the GOAT with a lat seat pad would make a good alternative to the Sorinex Bulldog pad? I was thinking about purchasing the bulldog, but now I'm wondering if the goat option would work as well and give me more versatility.
@@azuwhr you mean where you put the weight pin? I’ve seen it loaded on top and that seems to work better it seems. Have also seen people utilize spotter arms on top
@@michaeltylermedia kinda hard to explain. So depending on where you put it in the rack and then place the second pin will determine the resistance. I should do a follow up video.
@@azuwhr not a bad idea. I came here to ask that question because I had just watched another video complaining about Jammer arms and the lack of resistance until about midway through the motion. I wonder if it’s different with these because of the shorter lever arm
@@michaeltylermedia I really haven’t had that issue with resistance. Let’s take incline press for example. If you sit up straight and have the arms infront of you then you will lose resistance. Now if you put the lever arms like at level two with the pin, and then sit your bench at an incline, you’ll have no problem with resistance at all.

Well, im sold. Nice video
Thanks
seems legit!

Actually, I see you have straight handles, as well. They don't look like JDGym handles. Which ones are those?
Rogue fitness @@michaelradloff1715
is there uhmw on teh inside of the Goat to protect the uprights? if not, is there enough plan to put some uhmw tape?

Yeah not sure but I use it for pressing movements all the time. I personally like it

Yeah they work great as long as you don’t mind flipping them around for other exercises.
Do you think the straight or 45 degree Rogue bar is best overall for these lever arms? I mostly want to do shoulder and incline bench press.@@azuwhr

What are your favorite exercises you're still doing on them?
Yeah I still use them all the time. I like shoulder presses the best with them but I use them for all kinds of exercises.
Have you tried a roller on these for leg extensions and hamstring curls?
No I haven’t. I know there are others who have, I just wanted to show all the other things you can do. I love them.

I think so. STRAYDOG sells a seat that can attach to it plus like you said you can do a lot more with it then.
Any exercises you can’t do with this?
Not a tall guy so think the 24 inch should not be a problem
I don’t think so, they are pretty versatile. I use them a lot and have found even more exercises then even the ones I showed. The 24 should be good
Great review! I’m new to the stray dog. What pin / tube attachments do I need to buy with it to add weight and do the presses?
Really up to you. They have some on their website to use but I have plate holder pins from rogue in mine.
@@azuwhr are the handles you are pressing with just the rogue plate pins?
@@brendoncornwell no those are the their separated pull up bar attachment
Is this from Rogue?@@azuwhr
So arma are not too short for pressing movements?
How did the incline and flat press feel with them?
Feels great I use it for both exercises all the time. It’s a nice change from a regular bar. Sometimes I actually prefer it.
@@azuwhr thank you… seriously considering this option. Keep the reviews coming
How is the resistance? I recently ordered these and am curious to see if the resistance is accurate to machines or not
It’s really going to depend on how you set them up. As far as how high you put them in.
@@azuwhr you mean where you put the weight pin?

Do they feel as good as the 35" rogue ones??
Unfortunately I don’t know I’ve never used those. I can say I use them daily though and love them.
you should of went wit the stray dog alpha arms if you spent the same kind of money.
The problem with the traditional lever arms is that they are way too long and heavy. Extremely painful to store or move them.
