Bands, chains, wraps, straps, racks... are you sure this is training related?

Interesting design. I like the spring idea.

They look interesting, but not enough for me to bite at that price.
My custom Mech6 monolifts were quite a bit less shipped from Canada, but that was also several years, a few tariffs, and a pandemic ago.

@SeanHerbison, you wrote in a IG post, linked earlier in this thread, that you don't like using a monolift for squats.

On the other hand, I'm actually thinking of getting a monolift attachment for that very purpose, since I have a balance problem that's making squat walkouts kind of dicey. However, your earlier comment makes me worry that there's some downside I've not thought of. So could I trouble you to please elaborate a bit on why you don't like monolift squats?

I don't like squatting from monolift hooks. I don't have a straight/balanced enough squat to make sure I don't hit them. I know Cody likes squatting with them though, so to each his own.

Thanks for the reply, Sean.
