00:00Hey, what's up guys? Jose here, ShreddedDad.com. In today's video, I'm reviewing the Exponent
00:04Edge Infinity Arm. This is a rack attachment that can give you a lot of versatility, and it's almost
00:08like an adjustable bench, but it doesn't take up a whole lot of space, which is great in a home gym.
00:13Now, this has a lot of versatility because of two things. Number one, it has an adjustable arm and
00:18then an adjustable rotating pad. So the adjustable arm, I can remove a pin and then move it into
00:24several positions up and down. And then once I get to a point where I want to lock it in place,
00:29it's locked in place, and then I can rotate the angle of the pad for different exercises. So
00:34this can almost go 180 degrees of rotation. So you get a lot of versatility in this thing.
00:40Now, what's really cool about this is that once I'm done working out, I can put it up like this,
00:46get it out of the way, and it's not going to take up a lot of space. Now, as far as size goes, this
00:49is not going to take up a lot of room in your home gym. From one end to the other, it's only 29 inches
00:53in length. So not a lot of room taken up, great for a home gym. Now, as far as the weight capacity,
00:59goes, this has a weight capacity of 600 pounds. The unit itself weighs 29 pounds, and it's compatible
01:04with three by three and two by three racks. Now, you do have the option to select pins for either
01:08five eighths of an inch holes or one inch holes. And it also comes with two screws. So in case your
01:14rack doesn't have side holes, you can screw it through the front of the bracket. So that covers
01:18most of the racks. Now, the pins that you see here, they're going to be branded with an Exponent
01:22Edge logo. These are my pins. These are different. And then the pad itself is also going to be
01:27different. The pad that you're going to get is going to have an Apex at the top, making it three
01:32inches in thickness, 12 inches in length, and then nine inches in width. So it's going to be a little
01:37bit different as far as the pad goes. And the reason they changed that is because that's going to be more
01:41comfortable for women and offers more additional support for you as well. So those are the specs,
01:46and I'm going to show you how to install this thing. Now, installation is straightforward. You have
01:50the inside here that's covered in UHMW plastic. And then I have four different holes here to select
01:54from. These holes are two inches apart on center. And all I'm going to do is I'm going to pull out
01:59my pins, line up the holes on the rack, insert a pin, insert the other pin, and now I'm going to
02:06bring the arm here and insert it into the bracket. So the next step is to connect the arm to the bracket.
02:10So I'm going to insert the arm right into the bracket here, and I can select from three different
02:14anchor points. I have the top, middle, and bottom. I'm going to select the middle here,
02:18and then I have to lock it in place because it's now moving freely. So I'm going to lock it in place,
02:23and that's all there is to it. So installation is straightforward. You install the bracket with two
02:28pins, and then you have the other two pins to select where to insert or to anchor down the arm. So
02:33there's three anchor points. You have a top one, a middle one where I have it right now, and then a
02:37bottom one. Now, depending on where you're anchored down the arm, you're going to have a certain path
02:41to follow. So for the center, I highlighted the area where the arm is going to move. Now, there's eight
02:46different holes here. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Now, if I move the arm, I can lock
02:51it in place anywhere along that path. So if I go to the top here and I lock it down, it stays in place
02:58there. I can go to the middle, and then I can go to the bottom. So eight different positions when I
03:07have it at the middle anchor, and that's the one that has the most holes. Now, if I anchor it down at
03:11the top, then I'm working with this path here, which only gives me five holes. And if I anchor
03:16it down at the bottom here, then I'm working with the path that's going down this way. Five different
03:21holes as well. So to get the most angles for the arm, the center hole is the one to use. And then
03:27you have the option also, of course, to move the pad in different angles as well. So now I'm going to
03:32show you the adjustment mechanism for the pad. So it uses a pop pin, and then I have 16 different
03:36holes here on the top to choose from. And it's as easy as pulling the pin, choosing my angle, and then
03:42it clicks in place. And of course, I want to tighten it up whenever I'm ready to exercise.
03:46And I'm going to show you something, though. Out of those 16 holes, I can only use 15. And the reason
03:50for that is because the arm gets wider on top. If you look here, it's completely flat, but on the top,
03:56it starts to round and get wider on the top. So for that reason, I can get the pad all the way
04:02flat in this direction, so I can hit the last hole. But if I turn it the opposite way, you can see the
04:09pad goes at an angle because of that curve here on top, so I can't get to the last hole. Either way,
04:14I can still get 15 out of 16 holes, so I can get 15 angles. That's plenty of angles to get
04:21any exercise done. So not a huge deal, but I just want to make sure you know that out of 15,
04:27out of 16 holes, you can only get to 15. Now here's a closer look at the pad. Now this is going to be
04:31different from yours. Yours is going to have an apex, which is going to be better. But you can see that
04:36the upholstery is very nice. It's got a little bit of a grippy texture to it. And then the stitching
04:41is very nice stitching as well. So that's the pad. This is just going to be a little bit different
04:46than yours. Yours is going to have an apex, which makes it more comfortable. I'm going to show you
04:49a closer look at the rest of the arm here. Here's the bracket. You can see the UHMW plastic there
04:54protecting my rack. See the holes there on all the pins. That's the inside of the bracket there with the
05:00inside holes for people that have front holes. And then that's the rest of the arm. Now the arm here is
05:04about a quarter inch in thickness. So it's very thick, very well built. And that's all there's to
05:10it. Now you know the specs. I showed you how to install this thing. And I also showed you a close
05:14up of all the different parts. I showed you the pad, the arm and the bracket. So now I'm going to
05:19show you different exercises that I've done with the infinity arm. And of course, these are just a few
05:23of the exercises. I'm sure you can come up with more. You can get as creative as you want. And this gives
05:27you the opportunity to do so because you have so many different angles to choose from
05:31and the pad that can rotate in so many different ways.
05:42So now I'll give you my pros and cons. I only have one con with the infinity arm. And that is
05:46with the pad. I wish the pad was a little bit wider for certain exercises. For the majority of
05:50exercises, it's going to be fine. But for exercises like hip thrusts, when I use this as a lat bar for
05:56lat pulldowns or even something like preacher curls, I wish the pad was a little bit wider just to have
06:01more room for my back or for my arms there to play with. And, you know, come to think about it,
06:06I didn't check, but the website actually has an updated pad that is actually wider. So now you
06:12have the option to do that. In my case here, that would be my only con because I have this pad, but
06:16I can always upgrade to the larger one. So that's a good thing that they did. Now that's the only con
06:21that I have with my setup, with my current setup. Now, as far as the pros go, the pros definitely
06:25outweigh the cons. This is so versatile. You can change it into many different angles. And then
06:31you have the rotating pad here for different exercises. You can do chest supported exercises,
06:35back supported exercise, arm exercises. You can do something for legs like Bulgarian split squads,
06:41hip thrusts, so many different exercises you can come up with with this thing that it's great and
06:46it's not going to take up a lot of space. So as far as the build goes, I like that the build has a
06:50thick frame, about a quarter inch in thickness, 600 pound weight capacity. I like that they included
06:56UHMW plastic on the inside here. And I also like that the magnetic pins make it easy to adjust. I can
07:02easily move this up and down my rack. I can move the arm up and down very easily because of the
07:07magnetic pins. And then when I'm done working out, I like having the option to store this either
07:12completely down on the bottom or completely out on the top here and out of the way. So it's not
07:17going to take up a lot of space. So a lot of pros, one con for me, and that con has already been
07:23solved. So that's it. That's my review for the Exponent Edge Infinity Arm. If you liked the
