- In today's video I show you a product I picked up from Darko Lifting called the Barbell Anchor. This thing allows you to mount your barbells in your rack, but not in the traditional ways you'd think. Let's take a look.

Great product to save space!! With my bar collection growing in a small spot, this is a game changer for us! Thanks for this bro!
Always looking for ways to add more bars :)
@@BasementBrandon ALWAYS😏
Its a very reliable product! As a 5’8” individual with an 80” rack regular barbells were out of the way with no concerns. Specialty bars dipped too low. If you have a 90+ rack there are absolutely no issues w clearance!
how close to your head was the specialty bar/which specialty bar? I'm 5'6 and wondering if i can make it work with my kadillac bar (i won't be jumping inside the rack)
@@duhduhduhduhduh Kadi touched my head by an inch or two lol. It’s too close for comfort.
Yessir!!
Great idea! I like how it keeps your bars readily available.
It also doesn't hurt that Dave does everything in black and white :)
Simple and beautiful product. Thanks for sharing! - Coop
Thanks for taking a look between your sets of 600 on bench!
This is such a clever and cool looking idea for a common home gym problem!
Works pretty well!
The best part I’d say is it looks awesome! Thanks for the look man!
Hah luckily Dave and I share color preferences
This is a great idea. I've been looking for a way to store my 65lb SSB inside the rack since I hate taking it in and out.
I’m assuming that would work fine since the marrs bar does in his set up. I think he has it towards the back crossmember like me so you can rest the handles on there.
Cool idea. I hope this catches on. Could be a great way to store odd shaped specialty bars.
agreed! I think it works best with traditional straight bars only b/c frames or other pieces of specialty bars can get in the way.
Great idea! Only problem for me is it will cost more than $90 because I'll be tempted to buy more barbells 😂
It's a gateway product I guess 🤪
That would be cool for bands too
Def could use those too
Great idea! Cool beans. Also I think that price is very fair
Will we get a top mounted drink spotter?
Pretty cool. I'll definitely keep this in mind when I buy another barbell. My barbell gun rack is at max capacity!
Yeah I'm running out of room myself, 34 bars right now 🥸
Can't wait... ordered one the second I saw you share on instagram a few weeks back. Mine gets delivered Friday to hold my duffalo bar and texas bench bar. I am desperately out of space in my little garage!
Can't wait for you to get it brotha!
Dope!
Great idea. I used another pair of J cup and mount it high. But still have a curl bar laying around.
Oh good call. I do have a lot of cups!
this is super versatile. you can hang all sorts of stuff off it and it looks great.
agreed
The idea is great I fixed some wll mounted on my rack and did similar storage and love it, it is right there where you need it an don't have to struggle with bringin the bar inside the rack
Ah nice thinking!
This is a really cool idea and as a navy vet this appeals to me. Thanks for sharing
agreed
Great idea for those with high racks
All racks matter!
Sweet! My Power Bar is a pain to get in the rack due to gym width. Even with Ares, I could put this toward the front of the rack fine. The power bar is only used in the rack. My transformer bar would be even better stored like this since my rack is now 47” wide and I could put the hangers on the inside if needed.
Ah well there ya go!
I literally use one of those amazon hooks and drilled a hole in it to bolt. Those barbells hanging in the rack basically lives and never leaves the rack lol.
Right on!
Love it, purchased. Great way to keep the Marrs bar in the rack but out of the way!
Maybe I need to buy one to test out how it fits in here :)
Very cool to see Dave release these! I understand the black and white makes sense for an initial release and as you said, Brandon, Dave is a one man operation just starting out. However, especially for the price, I'd like some color options. I know that may sound a little odd, but these attach to my power rack, which is the central focus of my basement gym. I'd like blue and yellow. Would you want a differrent color scheme semi-permanently attached to your rack, Brandon? I 100% love the product, and I plan to buy a pair as soon as color options become available. I also like Dave's content on @darkolifts!
Yeah I see an easy fix for this is to leave the metal hooks itself raw and allow the end user to paint if needed, then keep the UHMW black as that's a pretty standard color for most.
@@BasementBrandon That's a great idea. I'd do that!
Exactly the type of solution I've been looking for with limited space and no plan to drill into my cinder block basement walls.
Hope it helps!
I would suggest further that their center piece is made wider - at least 3” - so that one can mount it on uprights. That way one can store one bar in rack and another outside! You can share to them and see if they’ve thought about it.
I think that may compromise the hook and you'd have to use more material
Fantastic find! this is exactly what I needed -- I had trouble storing my Kabuki Kadillac bar!
The only caveat there is that it will hang down and might get in the way of a 2nd bar. I tried my rogue mg-4CN and a 2nd bar and it worked, but there was contact between the 2.
I am the only person that probably has more machines than bars but I love this idea.
Lol awesome
Such a simple yet effective idea!
It really is!
This looks like it would be great for bands too.
Could be!
Cool idea, surprised it hasn't happened before
same
Hoping this should work on a Monster Lite rack?
Yep, would use the 2 smaller holes on the sides of the anchor.
I think it's a good idea... I've purchased 3D printed storage holders for the top of the rack from ETSY it's a little less pricy BUT this is more convenient for bars used inside the rack. Great idea nonetheless, thanks for the video.
I also think this is prob a bit more safe to handle heavier loads than 3d printed options.
Nice take… This definitely has value to some 💪🏼
Now I can buy more bars
That is cool. Good idea on his part. Thanks!
For sure!
This is a really cool product. I would get it solely to be able to do pull ups with my barbell for the knurl. I got my rep rack with the 2 inch pull-up bar to force my grip but def would help to go back and forth a bit.
However the standard rep pull-up bar is only 60 dollars. So since storage isn’t my main reason it’s a bit unnecessary for myself. Def love the look though
Makes sense!
Man I love that idea.
Works really well!
Hey Brandon, did you had any back injuries? Can you do a video about it if you haven't.
I think you would do great interview with Stuart McGill about spine and lifting
I have bone spurs on my lower spine which can really limit my mobility in that area, but I've managed to work around it!
Great review Brandon! Want to ask what is the new attachment to your lever arm? Did you do a review video on that? Love to see it!!
I can talk about it. It's from Vendetta Strength and is still in prototype phase for the Rogue.
Cool idea!
Luckily it came in black/white as well!
Brilliant!! Thanks for sharing this.
No problem.
Waiting on my all black version 😁
Just paint like coach carp!
All black version as well as stainless steel Barbell Anchor now available.
@@alrocky I was shipped the first all black one, it's awesome!
Also good for those that are renting! And don’t want to mount things to the wall
Good point!
Nice concept and design adds a custom feel to the process. Off topic, what is the upgrade to the trolley systems called? Went through some older video's and can't find anything on it.
It's from Vendetta Strength!
Great content as always. Short and sweet 👌🏼
Thanks brother
Dude when you went to do the pull-up your forearms looked like Popeye the sailor after eating some spinach lol
All those years of nintendo
Definitely a cool product. Would be useful for my tiny home gym. Have you done OHP in the rack with the anchor and barbell there? How does that work out? I have a Titan T2 rack and I do my OHPs in the rack.
I think it would prog get in the way if you have bars mounted there. I'm taller with long arms so tend to OHP outside the rack.
Very cool idea - will definitely head over to Dave's site. I see your pullup 'bar' setup is different these days. Is that just the rogue squat handle? Did you have to do any customization to the hole diameter to make it fit the 1" holes on the cage?
So I have a combo of the rogue squat handles and also the campbell handles from Oak Club which I helped come up with. I have a video on those ones.
Darko is dope
Pretty sweet piece
I missed a hook with ssb and now spending the week plastering my wall and fixing the rack. Nice idea but it's very dangerous
I think that could be said of missing a j cup or anything else.
Mine should show up today
Video?
@@BasementBrandon the Anchor from Darko
@@carps_gym I meant are you going to do a video 😜
@@BasementBrandon you beat me to it, but I might have to make mine red
Wish I had a full size rack to buy one of these but I only have a squat stand. Are they made in the USA?
Yessir!
Lack of space was helping me abstain from additional bar purchases! This thing's gonna cost me plenty.
More bars the better!
Cool Man.
Very Cool.
Thanks 4 the lil product info.

Good advice as always. Until 2:31. Please don't take it out whenever you want... Jokes aside, for us shorter guys/girls, watch out for overhead press inside the rack as will get in the way. But if you do that outside the rack then no issues. Nice idea. Moving bars in/out of rack is a pain in a small home bedroom.
The best part of taking it out means you're likely going to put it back in.
@@BasementBrandon Let's hope.
Used your link hope you get credit for it!
Thanks! Not for this but I appreciate the thought!
Shoulders/delts looking good-any specific exercises you do for them??
Wear smaller shirts :)
Love it!
Thanks for taking a look!
Hi, Brandon. In your opinion, if one was to mount these anchors at the rear of a Rogue RM4...would there still be room to do overhead presses inside the rack? I think so, but a sanity check would be great.
I think this is going to depend on if you can OHP in the rack as is, but yes if mounted towards the back you should still have space with a RM4
Ordered!
Dope, hope it works well for ya.
Ordered mine 2 days ago.
Nice!
Great for places where wall mounts aren't an option and making holes in the house pisses off the misses.
Yeah especially if you have a go to bar, never would have to leave the rack!
Hey Brandon, was wondering if you'd be able to do some testing with reracks and whether the bars have a chance of dropping..
I could prob test it but it’s angled down and has a lip so the bar would have to jump 2” or so up and out, so don’t see it happening
Actually love the idea. The price is absurd. I’ll buy it eventually though.
I don’t think it’s that bad tbh. If you had these sourced, painted and custom uhmw cut I think you’d find it’s still a fairly expensive thing!
@@BasementBrandon Maybe not bad for who’s making it, but overall it’s kinda steep.
Maybe I’m just too familiar with big company ordering where things are made in the mass.
@@brandonhoover2120 yeah Darko is a 1 man show
@@BJerrell a third Brandon enters.
@@brandonhoover2120 I believe he said if he ordered more at a time and/or outsourced overseas the price would could drop by like $20-$30. I think it's a give or take, he's not at the level for mass ordering and I would rather pay more for made in USA personally.
Lookin' jacked!!
Surprisingly this is an XL shirt lol
How many inches under the 3x3 crossmember does the bar sit with the anchors? I have 80” uprights and trying to determine if I will hit my head on the bar ?
I'll have to remember to measure. Could you shoot me an email (description) or a message on IG so it's easier for me to remember and respond?
Neat idea. Too bad my multigrip pullup bar is mounted to the side of my rack.
Not a bad problem to have!
@@BasementBrandon From one basement dweller to another, I agree.
Looking lean and mean 💪💪💪
Thanks my friend!
I have an 80” tall rack. I’d like to see a set of those made that point up so I could store my SSB on top of my rack.
I just worry it would be such a pain in the ass to get a bar down from there.
Hi there Brandon, are those the rogue trolly arms? If so where did you get the front piece to hold the lever arms in position?
Vendetta Strength!
@@BasementBrandon Have you done a review of the Vendetta Strength and your setup? Looking at their website and didn't see that combo with the Rogue trolley arms. Looks sick and would like to learn more
@@Miguel-jr8qv I believe these are still a prototype so waiting on the final version. Should be any day now.
would you recommend the jammer arms now with the vendetta strength add-on?
I would not. They're more functional, but I still don't find myself wanting to program jammer movements into my training.
@@BasementBrandon I could relate. Been holding off on buying them. But there is so much hype around them I seriously have FOMO lol The only thing that would probably make them functional imo is the gym pin with the vendetta adapters. Could replace the need of super heavy weight dumbbells. & can do countless of movements like chest flies etc.
Is that a 90" or 100" rack?
90"
Can i put my rep trap bar in it?
Likely would not work well due to the sizing of it.
Can you still do overhead press inside the rack with these? I need somewhere to better store my REP SSB
I think it will depend on where you put them.
@@BasementBrandon thanks for the quick reply. I have a Rogue RM6 with a surplus strength pulley in the middle. The front cross member is a rogue multi grip pull up attachment. I would want to put it near the middle posts kinda tucked under the surplus so it’s not in the way of me doing pull ups .hope that makes sense
@@HighSpinSwingSpeed if it's in the middle I think it may potentially get in the way depengind on how tall your rack is and where your ROM for OHP is.
@@BasementBrandon Thank you again... I don't think it will work well... I will keep looking into it.
How’s it do with the Rep open trap bar?
I wouldn't put it here just b/c the closed end part of the bar would hang down quite a bit and get in the way.
Good place to hang my earthquake bar. Lot lighter than a regular barbell lol.
I need to get one of those at some point
Is this able to store a kabuki Duffalo bar"
Not really due to the pop pins
if anyone wants I could model a printable version of this and put it up on grabcad.
I don't think I'd trust a 3d printed version to handle the weight.
@@BasementBrandon fair. if it's just the bar or 2 it should be OK. ABS and PLA materials are fairly strong. I shall run fea to verify
Not a fan of storing barbells up in the air like that.
I didn't think I would be either, but it works well
easy build a few iron pipes could do this
How you gonna keep the iron pipes from scratching your bar?
You can make a lot of things, doesn't mean I would :)
In my opinion, it makes the rack conjusted, why get a rack if you don't have space to keep barbells, just my 2 cents
I disagree, one of the biggest benefits of a full size rack is being able to consolidate a lot of other items to it.
"why get a rack if you don't have space to keep barbells" You're looking at this backwards: Barbell Anchor provides great solution to place barbells within rack if you have limited space in your home gym.
I can see someone ghetto rigging a lat pull down using this also where the pulley actually goes straight down instead of on some stupid angle
Interesting take!
Is anchoring your rack the same as bolting it down?
Not necessarily. You could anchor it down by using weight storage
