Product Information

The sleeve increases the diameter of the handle and it’s not completely mandatory but makes it more comfortable. From the side you can see the Mad Spotter Pro has a smaller curve at the bottom and they also got rid of the rubber tips. Mad Spotter Hooks Exercises Flat Bench Press You can safely bail the lift with spotter arms to prevent yourself from getting hurt or even dying (trust me, I’ve known of people who died benching.)

Whether you train at a commercial or home gym, if you train by yourself and wish to strictly focus on the "pressing" part of lifts without using up your energy to lift heavy weights from the floor, then my suggestion is to first try out Dumbbell Hooks as they are simple to use and relatively very cheap to buy ( depending on the brand of course). This solution will work great for people of all age groups. I love them but mostly only use them if doing muscle rounds (mostly because it usually involves setting up the chin bar so don't bother for straight sets). Spot grips adds weight to the DBs or barbell (4.5 kg / 10 lbs per DB), power hooks weigh very little. Power hooks are simple and hard to break; Spot grips have some springs which could break, though unlikely, the actual safety mechanism would break (though not impossible). The cons are that once you start getting heavy your palms hurt from the metal but it’s bearable or you can wear gloves. Honestly, the idea attachment scenario would be for VersaSpot to partner with Rogue to use the screw pins Rogue has on their Adjustable Lever Arm Handles that features a built-in washer and knurled hand-tightened nut.The saddles are curved and cradle the dumbbells extremely well. Although Pro-Style dumbbells would work best (think old-school Ivanko’s) we had no problem with loadable dumbbell handles, hex-head dumbbells, Intek’s, Eleiko’s, or any other style of dumbbell on the market. Thanks to them cradling the heads of the dumbbells, you can pretty much use any without issue. First off, this is not the first dumbbell cradle system I’ve seen or used. There are cheaper ones that attach individually to uprights like the Titan Dumbbell Holders and there are also much more expensive and complicated units built directly into the bench like the Atlantis Precision Series P-537 Flat Dumbbell Bench with Pivots(I have no idea who comes up with these mindlessly long names.) However, for the price, the VersaSpot Dumbbell System one of the most practical and best value dumbbell cradle systems we’ve reviewed. UPDATE [8 Feb. 2023]: After recently purchasing "Mad Spotter" Dumbbell Hooks, I have now briefly tested them out - My REVIEW can be read here! Our hooks are developed for the user to hang their dumbbells or kettlebells directly from the floor in a second. The user simply needs to attach the hook to their lifting belt , while the hook is used to attach the dumbbell or kettlebell directly to it. Mad Spotter even claim that their hooks are " robust, strong, and made to last a lifetime." This is definitely not the case for "Bodymax" hooks ( see photo below).

Put simply, the VersaSpot Dumbbell Spotter System allows you to lift heavier and safer with dumbbells. What We Like About VersaSpot The photo below displays the "Bodymax" version on the left compared to the adapted, UPGRADED version of "Mad Spotter". The only slight negative I have is being brought up in an "old-school" gym environment being told "If it's too heavy to get in position, it's too heavy too lift!". In short, learn the right technique to get the weight in position and you should be able to press the same weight once it's there. This theory's always proved pretty sound and it does frustrate me seeing weights constantly being awkwardly placed in a start-position by a spotter and then dumped on the floor at the end of a set - it's just not good gym etiquette. The handle on these is rubberized and curved but just like the Nuobell dumbbells, it has plastic close to the handle.My YouTube review of the 1st generation of Mad Spotter Hooks How is the Mad Spotter customer service? If you’re using dumbbells in the traditional manner, you start the first rep from the bottom if they’re heavy enough, and no way to spot the lift at the top or bottom of the lift. One thing I wish to note regarding the Bodymax Hooks is that they will certainly NOT last a life-time ( see photo below). I’ve talked to the guys at Mad Spotter and they’ve agreed to give my readers an exclusive coupon code. Anyone who is familiar with using "Bodymax" Dumbbell Hooks will recognise the "altered" Mad Spotter design immediately.
