🎉Bells of Steel Releases the Hydra Rack
Bells of Steel has released nine pre-made racks with TRUE 3×3 tubing with 5/8″ holes called Hydra. Therefore, they are compatible with the Monster Lite line from Rogue.
This is after many years of not including 3×3 options within their lineup. We all know that 3×3 is not really necessary for most home gym owners, but Bells has finally given up that fight.
With that being said, the potential of these racks looks exceptionally high.
In addition, there are 17 available attachments and more to come. This includes the Hydra Seal Row Pad.
Pre-Sale orders will include a 10% discount.
đź“ŠHave You Heard of these Companies?
In the 9th edition, Rogue is still on top, but many companies are now above 90%.
Just about every company on this list continues to rise steadily (for example, BOS highlighted below), and the competition is as strong as ever.

As mentioned in the highlighted section at the top, only 2 had 80%+ votes back in June 2019. That was Rogue and Titan.
