Power Spot Self Spotting Dumbbell Machine demonstrated with Bowflex dumbbells
Bowflex dumbbells demonstrated on a self spotting dumbbell machine developed by Darrell Greenland. The machine can also be used with Powerblocks, Iron Master, Hoist, as well as Ivanko Pro Style dumbbells. An Olympic barbell can be placed in the holders for squats and barbell presses. The Power Spot can replace the Smith Machine and has more free range of motion than a Jones Club and is much safer than a conventional bench press. The built in lat pull feature provides a high and low pulley. This weight machine has a small foot print which makes it ideal for a home gym.

@FoodCubes Thanks for your comment and question. Yes you can do negatives on a modified version of the power spot. Please check out my other power spot video on youtube entitled Power Spot self spotting barbell and dumbbell machine. Or simply type in my channel darinvents in the search box.
Very innovative! Do you think you could modify this for negatives?
@ishnoo94 That’s a good questions. Actually yes you can do dumbbell flys but not really well in this particular prototype. I will address that in a final version of the power spot. Please see my newest power spot video where I’ve already made some other improvements so you can use an olympic barbell and rack barbells and dumbbells. Go to my channell darinvents and it is the self-spotting barbell and dumbbell machine. Thanks again for your input.
Looks good, but only thing.. How are you supposed to do dumbbell flys ?
@t2jeff Thanks Jeff, wish we had a power spot when we used to work out at T2 Design. Thanks for your comment.
@markdbrito Thanks Mark for your comment. Glad you enjoyed it.
@shumiye0202 Thanks for watching.
@Bluebeater20 Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
@invention2 Yes, the power spot works with a standard olympic barbell. As for Bowflex, I’m not aware of a self loading set of barbell weights.
@frpAIOF Thanks for your comment, to answer your question, the safety spotters are adjustable. So, you can set them lower than I show them in the video to allow your elbows to drop below parallel when doing bench press.
wow man this is really genius. seriously, you can tell how much thought went into this product. The only detail i dont like as much is the fact that you have limited depth on when bench press exercise, your elbows can only go paralell
This looks like it would work with a barbell too. Does Bowflex make a self loading set of barbell weights?
wonderful!
very nice

Well done presentation! Great weight training product.
Great product and video Darrell!
