ATX® Triplex Weight Stack Gym | How easy is it to adjust? | Back Day Tips

Great to see the new triplex on video. We were speaking about this a couple of months back. I took your advise and I am going to be going down to the Gym Revolution when this machine drops in the UK. Unfortunately it has been held back until December in the UK the last time I checked. Really pleased to hear that the motion of the High/Lo pulley is top quality and I cannot wait to see this for myself in person. Of course I can technically do all of the exercises on my Powertec LeverGym, but I think the addition of the weight stack for convienence and the general build quality is well worth a look for my consideration. I just wish they would have put a weight horn onto the stack somewhere the same as Powertec does, because I like to make smaller incremental loads than 5kg at a time, and for the extra weight capacity for those of us who might well need it on the lat pulldown and/or seated row in particular. Of course a gym pin adaptor would do the trick, but because of the band pegs on top of the stack, it may not be possible to plug it in on the lowest weight settings at the top. I also would have had liked to have seen some weight plate horns included on to the frame like Powertec do. But because of the weight stack and as you have assured me of the overall build quality, I am looking forward to taking a close look at this piece when it drops over here. Cheers.

We will have a more detailed review out very shortly. Basically it all comes down to money. If you have it, then this is an amazing gym for the footprint. The best way to think of it is upgrading your car. You might have a base model Subaru. It does the job. But you have some money and want a WRX. It still does the same job, doesn't get you anywhere quicker because you still have to follow road rules. Just feels better to drive. For the 2.5kg increments, just get 2 of these - samsfitness.com.au/equipment/atx-1-25kg-add-on-weight/

@@samsfitnessgymequipmentaust Thanks for the info. I do like to go up in jumps on 0.5kg at a time, keeping the same rep count, although 2.5kg increments can be used for double progression. Any which way I am sure I will figure something out, as for the highest weight stacks I can always use my cable crossover stacks for smaller exercises if need be as I do have gym pin adapters for that. Mostly I am liking the sound of the build quality. Although It would have been nice for the weight storage posts, I am fed up on a back workout making several changes to the lat pull on the Lever gym and again on the seated row. Like you say it is hardly essential but the convenience is appealing. Espessially if the lat tower action is as good as you say it is. I will be taking a look for sure and will check out your full review for more angles of the machine and a closer look in general. Cheers Sam.
