00:00now this one here is the matrix machine another four-in-one attachment where i can do three leg

00:04exercises and one upper body exercise what's unique about this one is that has 180 degree

00:10motion i'm going to show you that in a second but first i'm going to show you the sissy squat

00:13setup

00:14for the sissy squat setup i insert this into the bottom port and whenever i want to do the

00:18upper body exercise i'll show you that i insert it into the top port so here's the sissy squat

00:23setup i have the pad in the locked vertical position and then i have the option to move

00:29the leg rollers back and forth to lock my feet in place so i'm going to show you this i'm

00:33going to

00:33pull the pop pin for the adjustments here i put my legs in there and then lock them in place

00:39and i

00:39can do my sissy squats i'm going to pause it right here at the bottom you can see that i

00:42have the

00:43bench at the negative 10 position so that i can get full range of motion in the sissy squats my

00:48butt does

00:48not touch the pad so i keep constant tension in my quads and i keep my body vertical here so

00:53that i

00:53emphasize the quads for the exercise i really like this one it locks my feet in place very well

00:59i felt very secure and i can do my sissy squats now for any other exercise i have to pull

01:04this part

01:05the bottom part out so i pull the pop pin release that and then from here i can use this

01:10for two other

01:10exercises for the lower body split squats i have it locked in the vertical position here so i can just

01:16go up and down up and down and then if i want to do dynamic hip thrusts i have to

01:21unlock it so that

01:22it's really rotatable and i do that with this pop pin here so if you notice the pop pin has

01:27a peg

01:27right on the center of the body when i pull this out i rotate the pop pin and then it

01:32stays in the

01:33unlock position and that's what gives gives me that free rotation so that i can use this for the

01:38dynamic hip thrusts so this is what it looks like i have my my back on the pad and the

01:43pad is

01:44moving with me as i do the hip thrust so it's better than doing it off the side of a

01:49bench

01:49now this is the upper body exercises for preacher curl so i removed the uh the attachment from the

01:56bottom port inserted it into the top port and now i can hang my bar there for preacher curls now

02:01keep

02:01in mind that the the hooks that are holding the bar are going to be different in the final version

02:06they're going to stick out further off away from the from the preacher curl pad here right now what

02:12they have is a small hook and it doesn't stick out very far but all it does is go into

02:17the bottom

02:18of the of the preacher curl pad attachment here and that's pretty much it that's this attachment this is

02:23the matrix machine three lower body exercises one upper body exercise i really like the sissy squat the

02:30most out of this one i say my second favorite would be the dynamic hip thrust just because it's moving

02:35along with your body the tip bar guy did a really good job here built a solid bench and then

02:41that is

02:42the centerpiece for everything that the bench is solid it's stable 11 gauge steel 1000 pound weight

02:48capacity and then you have this entire ecosystem where you can pick and choose from are you going

02:53to buy everything of course not nobody has a space for that you just pick and choose based on your

02:57training

02:57style and based on the space that you have available in your home or garage gym so i hope you
