This or one of those inspire functional trainers with 150 lbs dual weight stacks?

[@MarkPMaguire]

I’ve been looking at the inspire, they seem great! I’ve been looking at the SF3 from them, a lot of good reviews, and having the counterbalanced Smith Bar is cool. You could that, and use the Smith Bar for your barbell exercises.

That’s pretty cool that it has the 2:1 or 1:1 ratio options. The small footprint is also a huge plus. I have the CENTR2 which has been great but definitely takes up space lol

Great video! How is this at the negative stage? Does it lose resistance during the negative stage or does it maintain it?

[@MarkPMaguire]

@@maykz2127 thanks for the comment, good question. The cable machine maintains the resistance throughout the movement. So if you select 20 pounds on a 2:1 it will feel like 10 pounds through out the movement whether it be the Negative portion of the movement or not. Hope that helps!

Very good sharing of experience. Thank you. Pls keep such informative videos coming. I'm also seriously considering a single stack 2-pulley functional cable tower. I don't have sufficient space for a double stack functional cable machine like Acadia - I still can squeeze one in if I really want to. In your experience Mark, is there any exercise that you can't comfortably do with a single stack and you'd wish you had a double stack instead? Is chest flys the only such exercise in your view?

Looking to get something for my basement to start working out. Would this be good for a beginner with plenty of exercises?

[@MarkPMaguire]

@@newtonfirefly3585 this would be great for a basement. As a standalone cable machine, it barely takes up any space at all. And the versatility of a cable machine is endless. Maybe you have some experience with cables at a commercial gym? For me personally I consistently use this for upper body workouts, from isolation work like bicep curls and tricep extensions to heavy pulls, rope pull downs, chest flys, etc. I would say better for upper body isolation work, lateral raises and face pulls to target delts, different pulling variations to work back, and pressing movements and flys to target chest. (You can also add a dip attachment to do dips which is a great staple exercise for body control). Down the line, you could purchase a second one of these so it could work as a Rack, that may you can safely do bench press, and squats with a barbell. The plate loaded version isn’t as big of an investment, although the weight stack option is more approachable and easier to use. Hope that helps.

If it is even close to the smoothness of the higher end Inspire Functional Trainers, it’s probably a great option for a good price!

[@NPow94]

You still getting work in with that sand bag?

[@MarkPMaguire]

@@NPow94 Periodically.. Thanks for the reminder, tomorrow I’m gonna get after it with the sand bag and kettlebell! 🫡
