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

Loading
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

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

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.

Excellent gear!
My wife and I have been using the Westside Scout Hyper for about a month and it is an excellent piece of equipment. It is well built and was easy to assemble. It folds quite easily and stores against a wall, but it is too heavy for my 5'4" 125 lbs wife to move it easily. It's no problem for me (6', 215 lbs). My best single squat at age 54 is 400 lbs so far this year. Louie Simmons of Westside suggested that one use 50% of ones squat make on reverse hyperextensions, which would be 200 lbs for me. That's too much for me and I don't think that it is necessary. Sets of 15 reps with 100 lbs are enough for now. My back feels good and my hamstrings and glutes are repsonding well to that weight. I have not loaded the Scout with a heavy weight to check its stability, but it is very stable with 100 lbs and I think that it would likely be stable with ~200 lbs. It is rated for 270 lbs max. In all, it's a great product.

Awesome piece of equipment
Rogue has gained a lifetime customer. Everything was so smooth and this machine took me 20minutes to setup. Everything was so easy including the delivery. The scout is so awesome! It's everything that you would want in an affordable and well built reverse hyper!

Outstanding
I've had this for about 2 months now, and it has slowly but surely changed my life for the better. I herniated 2 discs last year and was in agonizing pain for many months due to pinched nerves etc. I did physical therapy etc. with little to no change. Almost 6 months went by with no weight lifting. I finally pulled the trigger and purchased the Scout and haven't regretted it one bit. It's a life changer. I am slowly recovering and finally able to squat and deadlift again. Thank you Rogue!

Great for Home Gym
First experience with a reverse hyper and I enjoy it! Use it every squat or deadlift day. I’ll admit I didn’t expect to feel a difference, but I can say my lower back and hamstrings do feel stronger. Good for home use since it really isn’t designed for crazy weights. It does have a little wobble in use, but no stability issues or concerns! So long as Hi-Temps aren’t your only plates you’ll probably be fine at home with this for loading space.
