Hi！ Your video looks so nice! I hope you can give me your email and I want to collaborate with you. We have a company making men's clothing! Hope you are interested in it!
I've got a similar machine from GMWD. It's decent but it does not have the multiple foot plate angles during the leg press setup. It's a one and done. So I like the variety that this one has. But I had the compact leg sled from Force USA and the nylon rollers were not as smooth as the linear bearings on the GMWD. So I'm not sure where to go on this one.
Like a video bro very encouraging I like how you put in perspective when you have a life, wife children, and a beautiful home and find a budget home workout power rack that’s pretty awesome and that order and you have really given me the encourage to put forth the effort to purchase this item I’m in the mist of building my gym now and I was racking my brain which way to go and this is the route for a beginner home gym unit I used to be 400 pounds. Got it together now I’m down to 220 pounds now I’m looking to build more muscle. It’s taking me some time I’m 45 years old, wife, children, grandchildren, and all so like the video💯💯🔥👍🏽
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?
@@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!
I hope your channel blows up man your videos are entertaining! This thing looks sweet. Honestly not a bad price for what you get with the ratio options
I appreciate it! Definitely the heaviest possible weight stack compared to others. It’s a beast, feels premium! I’m super pumped about it! Thanks for the support!
@@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.
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
That’s a waste imho it’s never gonna compare to a proper leg extension from a machine so you might as well not have spent the money on it and just do squats and variations of it for muscle growth growth
It’s not perfect, but I don’t think it’s trying to be, still getting a good contraction, and isolating the quads. Using the pad for chest supported rows is a cool feature too.. believe it or not, hits a little different than an incline bench.
@@MarkPMaguireI think you’re right. Let the good not be the enemy of the perfect. Plus all that matters is you lift heavy to somewhat near failure. That works
Sent me this product free for a review, I would recommend you check out my other videos to see what this channel is about. Here, I am simply stating facts about the chest press machine from GMWD, it’s a relatively budget option for people looking for speciality machines in their home gyms. Let me know if you have anymore questions.
I don't know. The Klarfit Kettlebell seems to have a different coating doesn't it? It looks pretty shiny on the pictures. Don't get me wrong: I would love if all of the ones looking the same are indeed just the same, because in Europe you could get some cheaper options than Rep. If the coating is better on REP I would consider spending a bit more though. Has anybody some experience, maybe got the red and blue from two different companies?
U should hold down longer n also release tension of the muscle slowly. It's not the pull down that builds it's the concentrated slow up that does it more. Just from experience n been a workout maniac for the past 15 years
@@agirlandhercurls I’m sure if you had an ankle strap. Very versatile, a bunch of different height adjustments, the aftermarket cable attachments and exercises are endless.
Thank you bro! So many changes, punching bag.. axle bar.. 😭 I have my eye on a few other things I want to get in here, and some other video ideas.. But definitely an update video in the near future! Thanks again! 🫡
Bro you’re killing it! I have the traditional hex dumbbells and you’re right about the size, it can feel like I’m curly 2 year old kids. Your gym has had some big changes, are you going to do an update vid? #ripaxlebar
