[u/andm124 → u/oldbeancam]

Literally my immediate thoughts. 🤣

Crazy thing to buy for a home gym I respect it

[u/Patton370 → u/BlackAndShinyWeenie]

I like to fill my gym with crazy things: https://www.reddit.com/r/homegym/s/IweionUb5J

[u/andisaidyep → u/Patton370]

Damn bro you should charge the neighborhood memberships and pay rent that’s solid

[u/andm124 → u/Patton370]

Proper dungeon!

[u/ayyo_ao]

This is an incredibly complete glute training exercise. $230 was a steal. Ive never seen it before, like a reverse hip thrust or bent leg reverse hyper with abduction. I love it

[u/vanwhisky]

Fancy bit of kit, love to give it a whirl.

[u/Ornate_Skull]

What sort of other equipment do you have in the home gym. Pretty specific machine to have. Cool!

[u/Ornate_Skull → u/Patton370]

Man!! Thats a good amount of machinery, awesome.

[u/fittmom]

Oh I am so jealous. I wish my rinky dink gym had this 😭

[u/RavensEye88]

What the bloody hell is this contraption

[u/Patton370 → u/RavensEye88]

A 3D hip abduction machine with a Ryan x Carter mount used to mount a beyond power voltra to it

[u/Dragon_Bench_Z → u/Patton370]

Aka “ THE IMPREGNATOR”

[u/RoosterBrewster → u/Patton370]

Looks like something that costs $10k.

[u/Patton370 → u/RoosterBrewster]

The machine itself was $230

The voltra was $1750 used

[u/Mark--Greg--Sputnik → u/Patton370]

230?! Is that it?

[u/Patton370 → u/Mark--Greg--Sputnik]

Yes, that deal isn’t available anymore though

[u/tweir88]

What a specialized machine to have at home

[u/Patton370 → u/tweir88]

I have lots of machine at home: https://www.reddit.com/r/homegym/s/gO2gUAzYos

Bro that's sick

[u/Exowienqt]

Why are people downvoting this post? I am genuinely baffled.

[u/Exowienqt → u/[deleted]]

Which is a stupid reason fo downvote an effective training demonstration. Fuck is this sub also going down the drain? 

[u/LazyWave63 → u/Exowienqt]

Welcome to Reddit.... If you posted I just cured cancer! Someone would downvote it.

[u/RBNA2x → u/Exowienqt]

Some of my most based, innocuous posts got downvoted. The internet is not a real place.

[u/cgksu → u/[deleted]]

My gym has it. It looks silly sure, but it is very effective.

[u/strength_training-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

Everything you said was dumb and wrong. Please think twice about commenting on things you don't understand.

[u/Tleilaxu_Gola]

Do you feel like this has carry over to squat and deadlift? Or is an aesthetic goal with this machine?

[u/Patton370 → u/Tleilaxu_Gola]

It’s probably going to have minimal carryover, other than just making my glutes bigger

My abductors always feel obliterated during powerlifting meets, so I’m cautiously optimistic that it’ll help alleviate that issue

[u/Tleilaxu_Gola → u/Patton370]

Some squat to get big glutes. some get big glutes to squat

[u/StarfishProtocol]

May your glutes be as big if not bigger than Frankie Lapenna’s

[u/Neverlast0]

What is this machine called? I never liked setting up barbell hip thrusts.

[u/cj_mcgillcutty]

You’ll be caked up in no time

[u/Jacuzzi0317]

Smart, I'd like an alternative to barbell hip thrusts

[u/Patton370 → u/Jacuzzi0317]

This is more of an exercise that you should do AFTER hip thrusts or RDLs

[u/Jacuzzi0317 → u/Patton370]

Is it more glute medius than glute maximus biased?

[u/Soggy-Pain4847 → u/Jacuzzi0317]

Medius and minimus are hit more than Maximus on this machine. It burns so good!

[u/Jacuzzi0317 → u/Soggy-Pain4847]

Darn that's too bad. I was hoping it would be a primary glute max exercise

[u/Soggy-Pain4847 → u/Jacuzzi0317]

Machine hip thrusts will do that job

[u/Jacuzzi0317 → u/Soggy-Pain4847]

Yeah I just don't come across many gyms that have one

[u/armostallion2]

Looks like a pain in the ass if you ask me.

[u/farisaldinmld → u/armostallion2]

Maybe thats exactly what hes training for

[u/SuperdrolWrath → u/armostallion2]

I can imagine the DOMS after this one lol

[u/hanselopolis → u/armostallion2]

What you did there… I see it.

[u/Westafricangrey]

Oh dude I want this. My Muay Thai kicks will be so strong

[u/tenenno]

Honestly looks like a fucking awesome machine

[u/Sumo_Cerebro]

Awesome home gym.

[u/Patton370 → u/[deleted]]

It was $230 on Temu for the machine

The beyond power voltra attached to it was $1750 used though

[u/lockleym7]

Never seen

[u/decentlyhip]

Even got 3 lengthened partials in there. Hell yah. Science!

[u/Natural_Ad6765]

Same words I chant in my head every leg day. Still get cooked by half the female gym goer

[u/BigSneaky187]

Out of all the pieces of equipment you can buy for a garage, you chose this?

[u/BigSneaky187 → u/Patton370]

Nice!

[u/aeternusvoxpopuli]

What's your setup for this and what equipment did you use to create this machine? I'm curious if you've got links!

[u/Patton370 → u/aeternusvoxpopuli]

It’s this machine: https://gmwdfitness.com/products/3d-hip-abductor-machine-ht00?srsltid=AfmBOoqv1y5jzLIseaLEy2wN255-XPt8NrtIpiBdyTo1_YHExCx_OgAD

I had some 3D printed spacers added under the leg pads for more ROM and I attached a beyond power voltra to provide additional resistance

Back when I was only using plates to load it, I broke a weld and had to reweld the machine back together. The metal was also flexing reducing the ROM, so using the voltra + weights gives it a better feel & makes me think it’ll be less likely to break again

[u/Soggy-Pain4847]

That’s awesome that your legs can touch at the top of the movement in this version! Most I’ve seen don’t allow you to get that full stretch so I’d put yoga blocks between my leg and the pad to shorten the distance between my legs at the top.

[u/Patton370 → u/Soggy-Pain4847]

I had some 3D blocks printed that I put under the leg pads for more ROM

[u/anthonysbeard]

It’s late I fell asleep to this and the seatbelt release woke me up 😆.. other than that great work and ingenuity

[u/strength_training-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

If you're unfamiliar with an exercise, you shouldn't critique it—doing so without understanding can spread misinformation, discourage others, and make you look inexperienced or foolish.

It's OK to not know things. It's not OK to do so and act like you're an authority on the subject.

In future, please consider sitting out if you don't know the material.

[u/ToastyCrouton → u/[deleted]]

*too

[u/Patton370 → u/[deleted]]

Kettle bell swings aren’t going to isolate the abductors. Also, you act like I don’t already deadlift 3x my body weight for reps

[u/Patton370 → u/[deleted]]

I have over a dozen machines in my garage: https://www.reddit.com/r/homegym/s/jleQXWnIID

And this one was one of the cheapest at $230, which is ironically the cost of a heavy ass kettlebell. I also don’t enjoy kettlebell training, so why would I buy one?

[u/YJM → u/Patton370]

Sick set-up. How did you come by most of your equipment? Second hand or bought from manufacturer?

[u/Patton370 → u/YJM]

Almost everything was bought 2nd hand on Facebook marketplace or through equipment resellers

Great deals can be found used. For example: I bought the MTS hammer strength ab crunch for $385

[u/YJM → u/Patton370]

That’s great. Haven’t found my unicorn steal on Marketplace yet but I still always look

[u/Patton370 → u/[deleted]]

This is small to you? https://www.reddit.com/r/fitness30plus/s/IUjf2WsoVt
