Jammer Arms™
An industry first, the Sorinex Jammer Arms were designed with future innovation in mind. In the late 2000’s, Sorinex introduced the rack attached Jammer Arms.

Sorinex created an innovative training solution that has now evolved in the Adjustable Jammer Arms. As coaching philosophies changed and new training environments were created, the Jammer Arms answered the call. Fast forward to 2023 and our progress continues with improved modularity, functionality, safety, and branding. Bilateral and unilateral movements. Dynamic, variable, or isometric. Standing or seated.

Safety
Safety Straps
The Safety Straps are a Sorinex Original and industry first. A deep understanding of load angles and force variation sparked this specific creation. The length of the straps creates slack at a very specific angle to absorb maximal load and force. This advanced safety system is a must-have for the modern day training environment. Micro adjustments via 1” holes allow angled strap positioning to protect your neck while benching. Macro adjustments allow for all pulling and pressing to be performed inside the rack.
Half Safety Spotters
The Sorinex Half Safety Spotters are a modern and versatile upgrade from the traditional half spotter bar. Attach to the front of half racks or full racks for safer lower/upper body movements. Attach a Sorinex Utility Seat for step-ups, box squats, or hyperextensions. The Sorinex Half Safety Bars support the athlete inside or outside of the rack. Holes line each side for increased versatility and attachment capability. Utilize Adjustable Utility Pins to create temporary dip stations or catch bays for Olympic rack pulls.
Full Safety Spotters
Originally designed for safety, the Sorinex Full Safety Spotters function as an adjustable attachment platform. Coupled with a wide range of accessories, these spotter bars add more conditioning and rehab exercises to your rack, such as dual-sided dip station (each spotter bar), band pegs, assorted pins, utility seat platform and more. Holes are numbered for band compatibility. Dip stations can be adjusted for height and shoulder width. Use them up high to support overhead pressing movements inside the rack.
