Syedee Cable Crossover Review (Is It Worth It?)

[@roblogue]

Dude one of the best videos I have watched on youtube. Informative without useless comments. Thanks. I am buying because of this video.

[@TheHomeGymExperience]

Wow - thank you for the feedback! 💯

[@iamzomb1]

Great video, I was curious about his machine as it's much cheaper than Titan's option which looks like they're probably produced by the same factory. Thanks for the review, I'll use your affiliate link when I order mine!

[@TheHomeGymExperience]

Glad to help! Thanks for the feedback!

Had mine for almost a month,Cant beat it transforms the home gym,Got mine off Temu for $330.00 its a steal at that price.

I also bought this off temu. You can get some coupons and make it even cheaper. I was able to get some aluminum pulleys on sale at the same time, the mag grip knock offs for less than 500 dollars.

[@JoseSuarez-bk3qg]

Nice review. You mentioned the uprights are a little thin. They are made out of 14 gauge steel which most budget home gym equipment are made and are perfectly fine for home use. Enjoy the product buddy.

[@TheHomeGymExperience]

Thanks for the input - yes, it feels like a quality product! 👍

[@williamsullivan1126]

Nice video! Quick question: did the company provide the equipment for you to review or did you have to buy it at retail price?

[@TheHomeGymExperience]

Hey William, thanks! Yes, the company sent the product in exchange for an honest review.

[@williamsullivan1126]

@@TheHomeGymExperience ok thanks! It looks pretty solid. Best of luck with it!

[@j.dieason7527]

How long is the cable? Is there only one cable? The reason I ask is because it seems that one cable is used and it must be 50 ft long

[@TheHomeGymExperience]

It is a total of 3 separate cables.

[@TruthFLA]

Its the same as the Valor Fitness bd 61. I have that in my house.

[@mamungs]

And the machine not good enough 😂

[@TruthFLA]

[@ProWrestlingGamer]

Do 45lbs Olympic plates fit and would this be OK on a wooden floor with rubber mats and about 400lbs of weight?

[@TheHomeGymExperience]

My 45lbs Olympic bumper plates fit just fine on it. I don’t see any concerns with placing it on a thick rubber mat (stall mat) on a wooden floor. The weight capacity indicates 350lbs. Hope this helps!

[@perucho89]

Did you add any type of lubricant for the cables to move smoothly?

[@TheHomeGymExperience]

I actually did not. They’ve been smooth since the assembly. I’ve been hearing from others that the cables are a bit rough though.

[@perucho89]

That's also my case. Is there a type of lubricant for gym equipment that you can recommend?

[@blancaestelachavez.]

Hi, are you able to do glute isolated kickbacks with this equipment?

[@TheHomeGymExperience]

Glute kickbacks can be performed on this machine since the pulley system can be positioned at a variety of levels.

[@blancaestelachavez.]

@ awesome thank you!

[@ChrisGuy-i8t]

Man I just set this up. There is so much cable drag I can’t even use it. And the negative portion of the move, the cables stay loose and the weight doesn’t even lower. Tech support is zero help. I’m wicked bummed.

[@TheHomeGymExperience]

Sorry to hear this. Did you try adjusting the pulleys to increase the tension of the cables?

[@ChrisGuy-i8t]

@ the only adjustment I see is the cables on the back side of the chest/fly towers with the threaded bolt. Otherwise there’s no real adjustment. I see yours are all the way into the bracket in this video which is how mine are. First I thought I tightened the pulleys too much. With no weight, the lat/row won’t even lower itself

[@arturoquezada8539]

How do you keep the machine from tilting without anchoring to the floor?

[@TheHomeGymExperience]

The legs lay flat on the floor - the legs are connected to the arms which are anchored to the wall. Hope this helps.

[@mariopendragon5373]

​@@TheHomeGymExperience Hi what do you mean the arms are anchored to the wall? I can't see what you're talking about in the video. The red ones?

[@TheHomeGymExperience]

@@mariopendragon5373 sorry about that, I misunderstood the question and thought the questing was referencing a different type of equipment. For the Cable Crossover machine, it’s designed to hold center gravity - also by adding weight to the pulley it will keep the rack from tinting over as well. Otherwise, you can anchor it to the ground located behind the pulley weights.

[@DevilDog_83]

On the pully's are they a smooth glide with cable?

[@TheHomeGymExperience]

Considering that this is a budget friendly piece of equipment, the pulley system was smooth.

[@Ty_Quattro]

Did you try chest cross pulley?

[@TheHomeGymExperience]

Yes, and it worked as designed. Smooth. I should have added it to the video. Hope this helps!

[@KingStackkz]

I just got this machine but how did u run the cable thru tiny holes on the back and bottom my cable has 2 big balls on each end to prevent it from fitting thru tiny spaces

[@TheHomeGymExperience]

Please refer to the 06:03 of the video. You’ll have to run the cable through the small area before installing the pulley. Hope this helps!

[@KingStackkz]

I can’t the cable thru the on the metal base. I wish u would’ve done the video showing the cable installation bc I have 3 different cables so it would’ve been nice to see

[@TheHomeGymExperience]

The cable that has 2 small rubber balls are for the individual handles. The manual references the installation points of each 3 cables. If this doesn’t help shoot me an email with your contact info - id be happy to walk you through it. [e-mail]

[@TheHomeGymExperience]

There is only 1 cable that is fitted to make its way through the metal base.

[@KingStackkz]

@@TheHomeGymExperience thanks! 🙏

[@ronaldphelps2085]

I'm getting this machine and wondering if it has bolt down holes at the base also did you bolt it down or does it need to be? Thanks very good video

[@TheHomeGymExperience]

Hi Ronald - the machine comes with hardware to bolt down to the floor. In my review video it is not bolted down, and is sturdy enough for use.

[@dak85016]

Great video! What is the piece of equipment attached to the wall? Squat rack?

[@TheHomeGymExperience]

Thanks! Yes, it’s the PRX Performance Wall Mounted Fold-In Squat Rack. Check out my review kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4u0q2Z8frmKoJo

[@johnwallace8411]

Man I’m not sure to plate loaded. Can you put enough weight on there for tricep push downs and such or is it hard to get weight up to the level that adjustable machines in big commercial gyms use?

[@TheHomeGymExperience]

Absolutely, 45lb plates should suffice for Tricep Pulldowns.

[@johnwallace8411]

@@TheHomeGymExperience my debate is between this one and the titans v3 towers.

[@johnwallace8411]

@@TheHomeGymExperience the one I had in mind was the GMWD brand. I’m assuming they are similar.

[@TheHomeGymExperience]

At first glance, it looks like the V3 is more compact and less space needed. Ultimately, it might come down to what your needs are.

[@johnwallace8411]

@@TheHomeGymExperience honestly what could stand the most weight loaded on it.

[@hashslasher2973]

Thanks I got one of these used for my brother and am thinking about getting it from him Is the pulley ratio 2:1? I'm assuming so and you can get 1:1 if you use a joiner bar?

[@TheHomeGymExperience]

Good deal - yes, the pulley system is 2:1. Hope it works out for you

[@hashslasher2973]

@@TheHomeGymExperience thanks have you hooked up the two side pulleys to see if they work as 2:1 when joined? That's how Bells of steel works I imagine this is the same. Thinking about that too hook up to a belt squat, run a cable down from the joiner

Do you know if this is a 2:1 or a 1:1 ratio?

[@TheHomeGymExperience]

Hi! Yes, it’s 2:1.

[@EmmanuelSeals]

Is it wide enough for good crossovers???

[@TheHomeGymExperience]

I should have added that to the video. Short answer is yes. I am able to lean forward and perform the crossover exercise.

[@joeypoppo723]

Can u have 2 people using either side at the same time?

[@TheHomeGymExperience]

Good question. Each pulley on the machine is attached to 1 weight system. It is designed for single use. Hope this helps.

[@jefflambert215]

Thats a lot of pulleys. Do you know if this is a 2:1 or 4:1 weight system?

Hello. I just got this on Amazon Canada. Took 2 days to install.. I'd say 8 hours for me as I was alone. I went really slow on the cable installation part, i definitely did everything right and checked back to your video and my cables look to be installed correctly. I tightened all the bolts well towards the end. The cables are so stiff on the concentric and have absolutely no tension on the negative. Not smooth at all. I applied grease to every single pulley and every cable as much as I could, still not smooth. I increased the weight to see if that would apply more tension on the negative, helped very slightly but the movement is not smooth at all. Please comment. Thanks. I have contacted customer support. @syedeefitness

[@mariopendragon5373]

Mine is all shitty too. I just completed it .. the pull down and row cable works pretty well but those side ones are so bad... I don't understand how come mine is moving around so much when I use the side cables where his doesn't seem to move at all... Unless he's weighing down the machine outside the shot Anyways... Uhh . What are we gonna do?

[@TheHomeGymExperience]

I’m wondering if the bolts are tightened too much causing friction on the pulleys? Has customer support responded?

[@TheHomeGymExperience]

There are a couple of options if the rack is moving around when in use. 1) add weight plates on the weight storage pins located on the center of the rack 2) anchor the rack to the ground (located behind the pulley weight pegs. Hope this helps

[@naz2024-r6r]

@@TheHomeGymExperience yes you are correct, i fixed this issue on certain pulleys that were noisy and had to adjust the width of the brackets (literally yank at the metal part until they are far apart enough so they don't make contact with the nylon pulley). The manual says you'll need grease but does not specify where to apply it or how often...i understand it is a bit of common sense.

[@luckilyserendipitous9976]

How does this work on lighter weight? My experience from these value machines is they tend to get stuck coming down if the weight isn’t heavy enough.
