Lever Arms Rack Attachment

Love these things.

Added so much to my home gym’s ability with explosive jammer arm movements for fight training as well as strength and hypertrophy exercises.

Single arm rows from the floor gave me a perfect strength curve and an amazing stretch just lit up my back best row variation I’ve ever done.

Hanging them with hammock straps off the pull up bar gave an awesome bench variation with out needing a spotter can just focus on pushing and no worries about pushing to failure.

Pluse I have them set up with a 5-6” defect with the heaviest part in the stretch.

Oh man my chest go lit up real good even more then with the arch nemesis bar which was great as well.

Over head press is another I’ve found too be great.

Only had them for a week I’m sure I’ll find more things I love to do with them as I have more time with them.

I upgraded my cheap-o lever arms to these bad boys. I’m almost embarrassed to have purchase the knock off brand after using these from BOS. Great way to sub machine rows and various chest press movements in my garage gym. I highly recommend these and I use them at least once a week consistently!

There are so many movements lever arms can do, I can see why they are popular. I used to have a huge Body Solid leverage gym and wanted to be able to replicate some of those movements. I'm using these with Bells' All-in-One Trainer with both weight plates and sometimes just connected to the FT pulleys when that works out better. I've modded mine by removing the rack attachment piece and using the piece from Bells' Seal Row Pad Rack Attachment. That did mean I ended up buying three Seal Row Pads, one for its intended use and two for the rack attachment part, but I wanted the ability to set them up in pre-loaded positions. I 3D printed some TPU "donuts" that the side pin goes through (can't see the TPU part in the photo) to keep the lever arms from being metal-on-metal with the pins. It also gives it a slight cushion.

I mostly use these for shoulder press and more upright/inclined press movements, but there are quite a few different things that they do well.

I’ll start by saying these are probably the best lever arms for the price because they seem similar to the others on the market that are quite a bit more expensive. My only complaint is that it seems like a lot of torque is placed on them because the weight is loaded on one side of the lever arm and the handle is on the other side which causes a twisting force when the handle is pressed or pulled. So it’s a good thing there is a lifetime warranty. They already lean out of alignment when loaded which has caused them to be scratched up by the end of my first session and they appear to be causing a lot of wear and tear to my rack already. That coupled with the twisting force has me worried how long they will last. I feel like having a weight peg on the front side instead of the lever arm instead of out to the side would help this. Despite all this they are pretty easy to adjust and I’ve been able to do a ton of exercises with them.
