The Bulldog® Pad

Name: The Bulldog® Pad
Brand: Sorinex
Rating: 4.59 (4 reviews)

The Bulldog Pad is a patent-pending, rack-mounted chest-supported row and multi-angle bench attachment that clamps onto any standard 3”x3” squat rack upright with 1” holes. Four adjustment angles let it support the arms, legs, head, or back for rows, flies, incline presses, lat pulldowns, curls, and rear-delt work using a barbell, dumbbells, kettlebells, a sandbag, or a cable machine. It’s built from 3/8” steel with double-stitched naugahyde upholstery (black/black standard, custom colors available), UHMW plastic and rubber stoppers to protect the rack finish, and ships with two hitch pins for quick attach/detach. Independent reviewers rate it highly for build quality and versatility, but consistently flag the price as steep for what a quality adjustable bench can also do. It’s hand-crafted to order, with a typical 10-12 week lead time.

What is a Rack Attachment?

What rack attachments are

Rack attachments bolt or pin onto a power rack or squat stand to expand what it can do — J-cups and safety arms/straps (the essentials), plus dip bars, a landmine, a lat pulldown, weight-plate storage, roller J-cups, and more. They turn a rack into a whole gym.

Compatibility comes first

An attachment must match your rack’s upright size (2x2, 2x3, or 3x3) and hole pattern/hardware (e.g. 5/8-in vs 1-in holes, Westside spacing). Attachments are usually series-specific — a Monster Lite J-cup won’t fit an Echo upright — so confirm the fit before buying.

The Bulldog Pad is a compact, rack-mounted chest-supported row and multi-angle bench attachment that reviewers consistently rate as excellent once they’ve used it – Garage Gym Reviews called it one of its favorite pieces of gym equipment released in 2020. Its standout dimension is versatility: four adjustment angles support rows, flies, incline presses, lat pulldowns, curls, and rear-delt work with barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, or a cable, all from a single rack-mounted pad. Build quality is also a strength, with double-stitched naugahyde upholstery, 3/8” steel, and rubber stoppers protecting the rack. The weakest dimension is value: at $299-$389, independent reviewers agree it’s expensive for what amounts to a specialized alternative to a quality adjustable bench, which offers comparable functionality plus decline/bench-press capability for similar money.

+Versatility: four adjustment angles support rows, flies, incline presses, lat pulldowns, curls, and rear-delt/side raises using a barbell, dumbbells, kettlebells, or cable (Garage Gym Reviews; YouTube: Mike Wiedema)
+Functionality: easy, tool-free setup via a two-pin hitch system lets lifters reposition quickly between exercises (Garage Gym Reviews)
+Build quality: double-stitched naugahyde upholstery, 3/8" steel construction, and rubber stoppers that prevent steel-on-steel contact with the rack (manufacturer product page; Garage Gym Reviews)
+Functionality: space-efficient design fits on any standard 3"x3" rack upright with 1" holes, useful for lifters short on floor space (manufacturer product page; YouTube: Mike Wiedema)
+Functionality: Garage Gym Reviews named it one of its favorite pieces of gym equipment released in 2020 after extended use

−Value: both Garage Gym Reviews (3.25/5 Value sub-score) and a second YouTube reviewer flag it as expensive relative to a quality adjustable bench, which offers similar functionality plus decline and flat bench press for comparable money
−Build quality: uses a printed sticker logo rather than a laser-cut badge, a minor but repeated quality-control nitpick (Garage Gym Reviews)
−Durability: no long-term wear reports surfaced -- available coverage is limited to initial-use reviews rather than months/years of ownership
−Functionality: no independent community discussion (e.g. Reddit) turned up during research, so the verdict rests on two editorial/video sources rather than a broader buyer sample
