Thorough

[@carps_gym]

Thanks big dog. I had to cut a lot out it was much longer 😂

[@NoFate247]

Yeah they take a while to assemble

[@carps_gym]

They sure do!

[@DerekKuryliw]

Great review! During COVID I was lucky to get a cheap Marcy functional trainer with a Smith machine and after rigging it up to my liking over the last few years, I have not even picked up a barbell in my home gym in over 2 years! I lean towards bodybuilding and not much powerlifting, so it has been a perfect transition as I cross over the 40-year-old mark and some of my joints don't feel as good as they used to!

[@carps_gym]

That is awesome!

[@BrimhallBarbellClub]

Lots in one package. Liked the hack squat attachment. Didn’t love the movement of the rack. I think for someone not looking to lift super heavy, this could be a solid option. You nailed it that the spotter arms need to be lengthened.

[@carps_gym]

@@BrimhallBarbellClub yeah that hack squat thing was cool. I could see beefier version of it being popular. Yeah the spotter arms arms are really useless at this point because if you fail a lift, you’re gonna be out further than the spotter arms.

[@duvertjeremy4690]

The lever squat rack attachment looks really cool much much better than lever belt squat attachement i Hope more companies will develop it for all types of racks. Personally i never felt the utility of a functionnal trainer because all the best pulley exercises like pulldowns, pull over, low row, biceps and triceps isolations and shoulder raises are well covered by a single high/low pulley that is usually more compact and cheaper. I feel functionnal trainers are for those that swear by chest flies and really misses them but i always found it was a pretty useless and boring exercise. I like smith machines for upper body exercises though and i appreciate it coming back popular

[@carps_gym]

Yeah the lever squat attachment was a surprise to me. I actually kinda of liked it, but I think it would be better with an adjustable kickstand or something to easily set the starting position better

[@NoFate247]

Smith machines are underrated imo from a body building perspective. But not a home gym must have imo

[@carps_gym]

Yeah I have definitely made it fine the last 7 years or so without one and just a night and low pulley attachment

[@ashleytheamazing]

I think a smith machine is a great machine for home gyms for a variety of athletes . They are popular in bodybuilding, but useful for other strength sports .

[@TheKurtlocker]

Nice summary. Doesn't do anything great but does a few things well enough

[@carps_gym]

Yeah that’s kind of a jack of all trades. Master of none

[@Thepokechoprx]

I like the review. They need to have handle attachments to add on to the hack squat and you could use it like a Viking press

[@carps_gym]

@@Thepokechoprx yeah that’s not a bad idea

[@hybridresistance]

Excellent video brother.

[@carps_gym]

Much appreciated

[@mattv9240]

Looks like a compelling option for someone on a budget that's just starting out. The accessories like the j-cups and spotter arms could certainly be improved however.

[@carps_gym]

Yeah I used some Titan T2 J cups in this video some they were much better than the ones that come with the rack

[@carps_gym]

I heard they are undated all those things but we will have to wait and see.

[@LukesGarageGym]

definitely not bad and a good price!!

[@ClarksvilleBarbellClub]

Great review, brother.

[@carps_gym]

@@ClarksvilleBarbellClub thanks man. It could get a lot of folks started. But I would want something 11 gauge steel long term personally

[@ClarksvilleBarbellClub]

@@carps_gym Agreed. The hole spacing on the front is the deal breaker for me.

[@carps_gym]

@@ClarksvilleBarbellClub yeah could definitely increase the amount of holes because the spacing is there. They just have to cut the holes.

[@themalloftheinternet5682]

I agree for an entry level combo gym its not bad but i would never buy anything that wobbles that much. Sure it held up for a workout, but how often does it need tightening between workouts?

[@carps_gym]

I never had to re-tighten anything as far as the bolts in the structure, but the cables will stretch out overtime as you use it so they have multiple holes to make their increase the cable tension so you may have to increase the tension as the cables stretch out

[@carps_gym]

Do you use a Fuctional Trainer or Smith Machine?

[@mattv9240]

I just assembled the BOS plate loaded cable tower this morning. Haven't used it yet but for the price, the quality seems to be there.

[@carps_gym]

@@mattv9240Nice! 💪🏼

[@RoryEllisMusic]

Want to at the load capacity 🤔 😂

[@carps_gym]

I think they say it’s only 507 pounds it can hold that at least statically

[@RoryEllisMusic]

@@carps_gym I commented before I watched the whole thing. Once I heard the weight limit, it all made sense lol.
