🆕The Bob Smith Machine Rack Attachment

Fringe Sport just released the BOB Smith Machine, a rack-mounted smith-style attachment aimed at home gym owners who want guided lifting without buying a traditional smith machine.

Rack-mounted smith machine attachment that converts an existing squat rack into a guided-bar setup, avoiding the footprint of a standalone smith machine
Uses your own Olympic barbell instead of a fixed smith bar (compatible with most straight and select specialty bars up to ~32 mm diameter), which keeps knurling, whip, and overall feel familiar
Compatible with 3×3 racks using 1″ or 5⁄8″ holes (and select 2×3 racks).
Designed with a low starting height, making it viable for hip thrusts, lunges, deep squats, presses, and other movements that often don’t work well on traditional smith machines
Guided rails and bearing system are aimed at smoother, more controlled movement — appealing for hypertrophy work, rehab-friendly training, or safer solo lifting
Rated for ~700 lb capacity, which is more than enough for the types of lifts most people will realistically do on a smith setup
Weighs roughly 50+ lb installed, so it’s a substantial attachment but still far lighter and easier to live with than a full machine
Finished in a black powder coat and designed to stay tight to the rack to minimize space intrusion
Priced at $599 shipped, positioning it as a relatively accessible way to add smith-style training to a home gym
Comes with a lifetime warranty.

🆕Selectorized Standing Multi-Flight Machine - V3 from Temple of Gainz

Temple of Gainz has released Version 3 of its selectorized Standing Multi-Flight (Deltoid Variant), continuing to refine what’s become one of the more home-gym-friendly lateral raise machines on the market

V3 focuses on smoother resistance and a more refined strength curve, improving consistency through the range of motion compared to earlier versions
The cam and pulley system has been revised, aiming to reduce dead spots and make lighter loads feel more usable — a big deal for isolation movements like lateral raises
Adjustability has been improved, with easier setup for different user heights and arm lengths, which was a common friction point in earlier iterations
Still uses a selectorized weight stack, keeping loading fast and consistent — no plates, no pegs, and less friction for higher-rep shoulder work
Designed specifically for standing lateral raises, keeping tension where it matters while minimizing momentum and cheating
Footprint and overall layout remain home-gym conscious, especially compared to commercial multi-flight machines that dominate floor space
As with any dedicated selectorized unit, value will come down to how much focused delt work actually lives in someone’s programming versus more versatile cable setups

🆕Great Ape Grips Pro

Great Ape Grips is a portable grip-training tool designed to replicate traditional rice bucket training without the mess or setup. This is the pro version. Made in the U.S., it uses a neoprene bag filled with rice and internal resistance elements to train the hands, wrists, and forearms through multiple movement patterns, not just crushing grip. The idea is simple: provide 360-degree resistance that hits smaller stabilizers and connective tissue often missed by standard grippers. Its compact, travel-friendly design makes it easy to slot into warm-ups, rehab work, or high-rep accessory training at home or on the go, positioning it as a modern, cleaner alternative to classic grip methods.
