Product Description

"I do hypers before and after I squat or deadlift." - Louie Simmons

The Scout Hyper is a patented, foldable reverse-hyper machine developed by powerlifting legend Louie Simmons and Westside Barbell. This uniquely lightweight and mobile design features hinging legs that lock into place with pop pins and easily fold back for efficient storage after use (the total depth of the unit, when folded, is just 13”).

Louie Simmons created this model with home, work, and light clinical use in mind—with particular benefits for younger athletes or those new to reverse hyper training. The unit comes standard with a durable, round-edge pad (27.5” wide x 21.5” deep x 2” thick) to limit friction against the hips, as well as a nylon webbing hyper strap, two weight posts (5.25” loadable length), a set of spring collars, and 6” long handles. A bolt-on handle extension kit is also available a la carte for users who need to accommodate a shorter distance from the end of the pad to the handles.

The Scout Hyper comes with rubber feet (to provide grip to the floor and help keep the unit level) and a rubber-covered step for safe mounting and dismounting. When a workout is complete, the user simply has to (1) pull out and spin the pop pins to unlock the unit, (2) tip the machine up while pushing on the horizontal rear leg crossmember, and (3) press down on the handles to complete the folding process. Please Note: The unit stands up by itself when folded, but we do recommend either storing it flat on the ground or if storing it upright, doing so against a wall and out of the reach of children.

KEY FEATURES OF THE SCOUT HYPER

PATENTED FOLDABLE DESIGN
1

PATENTED FOLDABLE DESIGN

Whether you train in a small garage gym or a large-scale facility, space efficiency always counts. The Westside Scout Hyper offers storage convenience with its patented groove folding mechanism, collapsing down to a depth of just 13” when stowed. It’s also considerably lighter and more portable than most traditional Reverse Hyper machines, making it easy to move, unfold, and lock-in before each use.

UNIQUE TRAINING BENEFITS
2

UNIQUE TRAINING BENEFITS

Regular use of the Scout Hyper can provide safe traction, pressure/tension relief in the lower back, and strengthening of the posterior chain. “We spend hours sitting or standing at home, work or at school,” Louie Simmons says. “These simple yet everyday occurrences place significant pressure and torsion on our lumbar spine leading to mild or even severe daily discomfort. That's where the Scout steps in. A daily prescription of three to five sets of 15 reps on this machine could be the difference from painful to pain-free lumbar health.”

ASSEMBLY & SAFETY
3

ASSEMBLY & SAFETY

User assembly is required with this unit, but should take less than 30 mins. All required hardware is included. Rubber feet are provided for improved stability, and a rubber covering on the step makes it easier to get on and off of the machine. Please BE CAUTIOUS when folding and unfolding the Scout, and be aware of pinch points. If the red marking on the pop pin shaft is visible then the pin is NOT fully seated. Periodically check that the pop pin and swing-arm bolts are tight on both sides of the machine, as well as the bolt that secures the hyper strap.

A True Therapeutic Device
Thought this device was gimmicky at first, but for some one that has had general lower back tweaks, and femoral nerve compression, this has been a game changer. I unfold it, do a couple of sets per day focusing on the spine decompression phase, fold it back up and forget about it. It doesn’t take up a large space like other versions. No more lower back pain after a workout and my thigh numbness is noticeably better.

My back loves it.
So solid. A piece of equipment I totally trust. And a piece of equipment my back needed. With the first use the pain in my back went away. I still cannot stand up straight but hoping with daily use I will get there (I have only used it three times).

Great Option, Could Be Better
I bought this because I don't have much space and this is the only folding reverse hyper on the market. It's a lot of money to spend on one movement but if you have lower back issues it will be well worth it. The combination of building lower back strength and decompression works like nothing else I've tried. This folds up compactly and doesn't take up much space. It's rather awkward to move around and setup though. There are no wheels or transport handles, the front legs can snap out when opening it, and there are somewhat sharp edges and pinch points. This is not a big deal for me but my wife refuses to use it by herself for those reasons. Something so useful for people with back problems should have a little more thought put into those aspects. Also, it would be relatively simple to make accessories so it can also be used as a GHD or other movements to make it a bit more versatile. The metal rings for the belt rub against the weight plates which is annoying. But the bottom line is that no other movement can really substitute what a reverse hyper can do, this is the only folding one out there, and it does the movement well. Using this three times per week my back has recovered nicely and is much more resilient, making this money well spent.

Great reverse hyper
Love this reverse hyper. Sturdy, well designed, easy to put together. Not beefy enough for commercial use, but perfect for home use. Have had lower back problems for 30 years. Have used it for 2 weeks, and already my back is better. Wish Rogue would have a video on their website on how to properly use it, but watched YouTube videos. YouTubes had a little bit of conflicting info, so would be better if Rogue did one to know with certainty on proper use.

Excellent
Added this our home gym for my 2 sons that play youth football. Some people say the scout hyper takes up too much room for a single exercise. They're simply not putting enough volume on it. This thing is boosting our squats and deadlifts already and we've only had it for a month. Shipped very fast, love the quality, extremely easy to put together. Get one if you need glute/ham/lower back boost.

Great Machine, Lots to improve
It's not news that reverse hypers are a great movement, but this one misses the mark. Even under moderate load the front lifts and "walks". Even a couple bumpers and 100lb sandbag didn't help very much. I've considered bolting a strap to the ground, but that would defeat the purpose of this unit's portability. The limited loading space has also quickly become an issue with increased strength.
