The VTS Launch Pad Safety Stop is a compact rotational control device designed for users of the LaunchPad Leg Press / Donkey Calf Raise attachment. It gives you an adjustable, predictable rotation range with a physical bump point that prevents over-rotation during hooking and unlatching, ensuring absolute confidence and control with every rep.
Built in response to community feedback, this tiny-but-mighty add-on solves the problem of guessing your rotation limits. Two removable vertical posts thread into multiple positions on the LaunchPad bar, allowing you to dial in exactly how far the attachment can plantar flex (toe-down) or dorsiflex (toe-up). One unit is fully sufficient for normal use; two units are optional for users who rotate aggressively or prefer extra buffering.
Adjustable Rotation Control
Set your exact rotation allowance with two vertical posts that thread into multiple mounting positions, creating a personalized comfort zone.
Safety & Confidence
Eliminates guesswork with a light physical bump point that stops rotation predictably, so you feel exactly where you are during every cycle.
A rotational safety aid that keeps your LaunchPad locked-in without changing what makes the attachment special.
- Two C-Shaped Clamp Halves: Wrap securely around the LaunchPad bar with side bolts that tighten evenly to prevent any shifting or rotation during use.
- Center Set Bolt with Sharp Tip: Bites into the bar mechanically to prevent spinning and holds the assembly in place as a non-rotating bumper between VTS barbell latches.
- Removable Vertical Posts: Thread into multiple mounting positions on the body so you can fine-tune rotation allowance and create tighter or looser bump points based on your preference.
- VTS Safety Catch Integration: Posts contact the horizontal VTS safety catch — the same catch that protects barbell hooks — allowing the catch to do double duty for both hook and LaunchPad protection.
The VTS Launch Pad Safety Stop is designed exclusively for use with the LaunchPad Leg Press / Donkey Calf Raise attachment on the VTS platform.
- Works with: VTS (full-size), VTS Lite, LaunchPad attachment
- Does NOT fit: Other VTS attachments, non-VTS equipment, or standalone use without a LaunchPad
Important: This is a rotational guidance and safety device only. It is NOT designed to support static load, bear bodyweight or training force, function as a pushing surface, act as a load-bearing exercise component, or absorb excessive impact. Do not use it as a brace or block to push against under load. Improper use may result in product damage, equipment failure, or injury.
- Clamp Design: Two C-shaped halves with side bolts for secure barbell mounting
- Center Bolt: Sharp-tipped set bolt that bites into the LaunchPad bar to prevent rotation
- Vertical Posts: Removable, threadable into multiple mounting positions on the body
- Contact Point: Posts interface with the VTS horizontal safety catch mechanism
- Quantity Option: Sold as single unit; two units optional for aggressive rotators or symmetrical buffering
- Price: $39.99 USD (single unit)
One unit is sufficient for normal use and provides a clean, predictable stop point. Two units distribute impact for users who rotate with more force, though neither configuration changes the overall load rating of the system.
Do I need one unit or two?
One unit is fully sufficient for normal use and provides a clean, predictable stop point. Two units are optional if you rotate aggressively, prefer extra buffering surface, or want symmetrical bumpers on both sides. If you rotate gently, one unit is all you need. If you rotate like you're kicking down a medieval castle door, consider two.
How does the Safety Stop actually work?
Two C-shaped halves clamp around the LaunchPad bar using side bolts. A center sharp-tipped set bolt bites into the bar to prevent rotation. Two vertical posts screw into multiple mounting points on the body and contact the horizontal VTS safety catch — the same catch that protects barbell hooks. This allows the catch to do double duty: protect your barbell hooks and stop LaunchPad rotation at your custom limit.
Can I adjust how much the LaunchPad rotates?
Yes. Two removable vertical posts thread into multiple positions, allowing you to fine-tune your rotation allowance and create tighter or looser bump points. You set exactly how far the LaunchPad can plantar flex (toe-down / calf-raise direction) or dorsiflex (toe-up / easing off the gas). Rotate the LaunchPad by foot and adjust posts until the stop point feels perfect for your preference.
Can the Safety Stop support my weight or be used as a brace?
No. The Safety Stop is designed solely as a rotational safety aid and light bump point during hooking/unlatching. It is NOT designed to support static load, bear bodyweight or training force, function as a pushing surface, or act as a load-bearing exercise component. Use it only as intended: a rotation limiter, not a block to brace against under load. Improper use may result in product damage, equipment failure, or injury.
Is the Safety Stop compatible with VTS Lite?
Yes. The VTS Launch Pad Safety Stop is designed to work with both the full-size VTS and VTS Lite platforms, as long as you are using the LaunchPad Leg Press / Donkey Calf Raise attachment.
Will the Safety Stop change what makes the LaunchPad special?
No. The Safety Stop is designed to enhance the LaunchPad without changing its core functionality. It provides adjustable rotation control and a predictable stop point while maintaining the simplicity, versatility, and smooth operation that define the LaunchPad. It exists because the community asked for a little extra control — and Bulletproof delivered.
