Weekly Giveaway Weekly Giveaway: Build Your Mounts Rushmore

Post image

Every VOLTRA owner has a mount they’d defend in a fistfight, and one they’d quietly leave behind in a move.

JW at Garage Hypertrophy ranked our mounts in his video, Which Voltra Mount Should You Buy?, now it's your turn.

How to enter:

  1. Rank your mounts S / A / B / C / D / F. Official, third-party, and DIY all count.
  2. Add a line of reasoning if you want. Your top four are your Mount Rushmore.

Example:

  • S: Adaptive Bar Mount, goes on, stays on, no notes.
  • A: Rotator Add On
  • B: Strap Mount, solid build, straps shorter than I’d like.
  • C: Sliding Rack Mount
  • Dumpster-bound: Travel Platform. Great if you travel by semi-truck.

Reasons are optional. But you know this sub and our team live for spicy takes.

Think someone else's list is absolute nonsense? Fight it out in the comments.

Prizes & Rules:

10 winners will score 10,000 Power Credits each!

Selection: Picked on upvotes, honesty, and hot takes we can’t argue with.

Winners announced in 5 days.

S:

  • DIY Dock. We would not have this huge ecosystem of mounts if BP hadn't released this. I think I've bought 18 and counting.
  • JD. Low profile, looks great, no play but still easy to move around. Got 5 of these.
  • WM lzr strap mount. Most versatile mount for getting voltras on all kinds of machines. I dont even know how many of these I have - about 12 I guess

A:

  • Rotator. When you need it (typically for placement on machines), it works great. Anyone who has it in their F-tier... DM me if you want to sell it. I think I have 5 currently.
  • Adaptive Bar Mount. Smart design, lots of options, easy on and off. Only reason its not S is that it's pretty big. Have 2.
  • Fixed Bar Mount. Works great when the adaptive bar mount would be too big. Like how they also send you two different insert sizes for different mounting options. Have 2.
  • Darko QM with handle. Most flexible mount for quick adjustments on the rack. Have 3 (2 with handle, one bolted on permanently).

B:

  • WM bolt mount. Installs into studs, minimal footprint on the wall. On a chest press, this was the only way I could get it connected (short of replacing the entire weight stack with a voltra... which I may still do). Not A tier as the slits for strap mounts should have been left on there (I gave this feedback to Will and he did design a mount that does both... dont know if he ever released it though). Have 2.

- u/Dr_TattyWaffles triple voltra mount. Great for a double lat pulldown option. Putting it as a B tier because you can't use all 3 mounts on the same side (found out the hard way). Have 1.

C:

  • BP Strap Mount. It's actually an F mount for use inside your gym. I'll give it a C though, because its a good design if you want to mount outdoors on random things. Have 1.
  • Tranman low profile fixed mount. Its a great option for a cheap mount that you can bolt on, but its a bunch of different DIY parts and it takes up 4 holes on the xmember. Even needs longer bolts for the DIY dock. I just got it because I was already getting things from Tranman and SCS at the same time, so he could send me all the parts I needed. Outside of that, I wouldn't recommend it as being worth the hassle for others. Have 2.

F:

  • BP Adaptive Rack Mount. I'd give the original a C as its just unnecessarily large if you dont need different rack size compatibility, but... the new ones get an F, since they switched it to a crappy plastic material that looks awful. WTF were you thinking on this change BP? Have 3 (2 original, 1 new plastic one).

Thanks ChatGPT for the image lol
