Hi, great vids! Which would you recommend between this and the Major Fitness F22? Ty!
@DesignBuildLift4 сағат бұрын
The RitFit M1 is better - Not just because it also has a smith machine (the F22 doesn’t have one), but the functional trainer is much smoother on the M1 (but the F22 is still pretty nice). Having said that, you might not want a Smith Machine - in which case the F22 might be better for you).
@ericbarragan16073 сағат бұрын
@DesignBuildLift You're the man! I've been staring at these 2 racks and I was positive the F22 had a Smith's! That's definitely what I want in a rack. Much appreciated! Ritfit for the win! Definitely liked and subscribe!

Alot of people are looking for options for leg curl/ extension combo with a consistence resistance and this has been the closest machine to what most people are looking for. Now all we need is a better construction/ quality. Need something for sub 600-1000 price range.

Ok I have to ask your opinion. Im ready to purchase a functional trainer with a smith machine. Im looking for good quality, good price range really nothing over 2500.00. Im looking for a smith machine that offers a wide stretch for a cable crossover and smooth pulleys. Ive looked for quit a long time and it is getting over whelming. Ive been looking at ritkeep, major fitness B52, and they both gave good customer service Any recommendations??

Chat GPT : how much weight can a 2 x 2 16 gauge squat rack support ChatGPT said: The weight a 2x2 16-gauge steel squat rack can support depends on its design, the quality of materials, and how it's constructed. In general, 2x2 steel tubing with 16-gauge thickness is relatively strong and can usually support a considerable amount of weight. A typical squat rack made from this material can generally handle anywhere from 500 to 1,000 pounds of weight, depending on the specific rack design (e.g., the type of J-hooks, support beams, and stability features). For higher weight ratings, some premium or commercial racks use thicker steel or have additional reinforcements. To get an exact figure, it’s best to check the manufacturer’s specifications for the specific squat rack you are considering, as they often provide a maximum weight capacity rating.

I can confirm the silver uprights are 16 gauge, a magnet will stick to mine on the corners but not on the flats so thats weird. No idea what is going on there. Still I got my Mikolo M4 on Temu for $500 so can't beat that!!! I have a power cage just wanted a smith machine and functional trainer so I will not be using the Mikolo for freeweights so it will get me the smith machine and cable options I am missing in my gym at a super great price! I looked at getting the Mikolo M3 because it doesn't have the silver uprights so that one is probably all 14 gauge steel but in the end I wanted the dual pulleys in the functional trainer so went with the M4. All in all kinda seem a bit extra harsh in the review and being YT I just figure the other team is paying more, the head injury is a eating the "do not eat" packet level of critique and I dont see the bent handles even looking at the video a couple times! Probably didn't lube the pulleys I am guessing! Grossly one sided the barbell to make it stick also. I can't say one way or the other as I just inspected the boxes for damage and haven't assembled one bolt yet. I just watched another reviewer that has both say Ritfit M! vs Mikolo M4 was an apples to apples comparison and they suggested buy whichever one you can get on sale cheaper! Weird how your take is so much more one sided!

I just ordered one and am excited to see if some or all of these issues have been resolved.

Easiest way to fix the wheel issue is just make the single leg post a flat foot design. You won’t use this bench for normal bench work so ditching the single leg post isn’t an issue.
@DesignBuildLift10 күн бұрын
That is another way to go. However, I think the wheels really need to be on the same end as the cable attachment - so that it is easier to wheel it over to /away from your low cable machine. With the wheels on the front post it is harder to move it/ get it in position .

Weight stacks are not universal fit - so unless the product specifically comes with a weight stack (or they specifically state otherwise) they cannot necessarily be retrofitted to go from plate loaded to a selectorized weight stack. If you want to get a weight stack I would just go that route to begin with. Here is the only current RitFIT rack with a weight stack: tinyurl.com/DBL-BPC05

That’s true on other models such as the GMWD version. However, that is not true for the BLP02. Lower Seat is not removable. Even if I permanently remove the seat, it wouldn’t matter.

@DesignBuildLift22 күн бұрын
Depends on the length your bench. I ultimately did have an issue (with the Rep AB4100). If it was just another inch or two deeper it would be easier to get into an incline/decline position. That being said, I have the 1.0 version. Today they sell the 2.0 version. I am not sure if this is better with the 2.0 version- but based upon just looking at a picture of the 2.0, It doesn’t look any deeper than the 1.0. I just measured the distance from the rear frame to the barbell: about 16.5”
