Items:
Hammock Straps
Safety Strap Shackles (optional)
Swiss Bar
Slant Wedge

Pros
Affordable
Takes very little storage space
Gives a machine-like squat variation
Felt really good on my knees (results are individual)
Once you know where to place foot wedges, easy to set up

Cons
Takes time to set up time (more than a dedicated machine would)
If you have a light rack that is not secure, might have a tipping issue
First time takes a while to figure things out
Have to have slant wedges that don’t slip

What do you think?

Unnecessary? Maybe? Freaking sweet? Oh yeah! I decided to stop waiting for the Rep X DM and picked up the Leg Attachment for my ironmaster bench for $75 on FBM. With the extra funds, I Upgraded my Ironmaster Leg developer. Added solid steel bars and rogue rollers, picked up some shaft collars and extra washer to clean it up. It’d be cool to add a couple pulleys and eventually weld a triangular plate under the leg attachment for better balance and upright storage. Might end up looking like a fusion of the Rep leg developer and the rep x DM.
Total cost minus leg developer:
Rogue pads- $195
1” steel rod cut to 20.5”- $65
SS Shaft collars $30
1” washers- $5
SS pulleys- $20
