Griffin Monolift Attachment 2.0

My first monolift purchase. worth every penny. works great for both squats and benchpress. Had problem w/ loosening of magnets on the safety pin, I sent an email just letting them know of the design flow as I could get by gluing it in place but customer service promptly replaced it w/ a new design. Thank you.

I purchased my Griffin Monolift attachment over a year ago, and I think they are great. I previously owned a Monolift from another reputable company and they were custom built for me. I did know that each monolift weighed over 38 pounds, which made it very difficult to attach to my Power Rack. I would need 2 people at times to help me as they were very awkward to put each one in place. (bulky and heavy) Also, moving them on and off the rack, as well as storage was a pain. They were very nice mono lifts just not conducive for my training where I am constantly moving them around for a variety of different exercises ie bench press, squats, shoulder press etc. The Griffin Monolifts are very light weight and very easy to move around when needed, they are not like the hockey stick style monolifts, these ones have a spring mechanism where they snap back into place after you take the barbell off the monolift so they are not in the way when you are completing your reps. I was looking at the Mutant Metal Monolifts as well, however these mono lifts were priced much more conservatively, and after previously spending over $500 for my other Monolifts I did not particularly want to spend that much again on new mono lift attachments. I almost alway's use my monolfits for every lift, although I have many J-cups including a pair from Griffin Fitness, Rep Fitness, Oak Club, Irwin Fitness Roller J-Cups, Ghost Roller J-cups etc. I really only use my Griffin Fitness Monolift for each lift, I just find them very easy to use so I really don't use my J-Cups anymore. Another note I would like to mention is I did purchase a set of ISO Arms/Lever Arms from Rep Fitness, as well as the Vendetta Strength Lever Arms attachment for my Power Rack. I use them quite often, however if the Griffin Fitness Lever/ISO Arms attachment were available back when I purchased the Rep Fitness Lever Arms, I would have definitely purchased the Griffin Fitness Lever arms as they have the versatility and adaptability that I was looking for previously, however they had not released their version yet. They are the one company that actually made the Lever Arms perfectly in my opinion.

I've been using these for about six months for bench pressing and they are excellent for eliminating the need for a lift-off. Combined with safety straps (Griffin, of course), I can safely train bench press at the limit without a spotter. My only complaint, and the reason for four stars instead of five, is that the UHMW does not fully cover the tip of the hook. On a wobbly lift, it is not uncommon for the barbell to come into contact with that part of the monolift and unfortunately, both my barbell knurling and the monolift have the scars to prove it. It seems like an extra quarter inch of UHMW would be all that is necessary to eliminate the possibility of metal-on-metal contact there.

Well, I waited patiently for these to come back in stock and now I'm the proud owner of these beauties. I didn't realize how handy they would be til I tried them on my own rack (PR-5000v2). The hype is real and they live up to all claims. They only weigh 16 lbs ea. and take up very little real-estate on the rack. I'm no expert on monolifts, but I couldn't be happier! Benching in the rack has never been sweeter; very nice lift-off distance… (3-29-2023)

I sold my rogue adjustable monolifts to purchase these. They are better than the Rogue in every way. Much better build quality and much easier to use. They are a lighter in weight and without the space hogging, ugly counterweight at the top like with the rogue monololifts. I can't recommend these enough for especially anyone who's coming from Rogue or Titan monolifts.

Awesome monolift attachment! It is very light weight and compact but also very strong and durable at the same time. I own the REP fitness monolift and the biggest problem with those, and most other competitors, is the giant hockey stick style. It makes it extremely heavy and difficult to move around and is way too bulky. I have also smashed my head into it so many times….ow… -GRIFFIN's use the spring style which is so much better and eliminates all these problems. Also, another big problem with REP's model is that after putting weight on the bar, the monolifts barely bring the bar out (still way too close to the rack). example: when squatting, I would still have to do a little shuffle walk back which eliminates the purpose of the monolift. -GRIFFIN's style pulls the bar out much more and works exactly how a monolift should work. Overall, for the price, these are the best hands down! You will not regret getting these.
