That’s a killer set up! I have the titan leg ext/curl and I great upgrade is to put the pin back in and put an iron 35lb plate on it. Then the lever arm that holds the weight plate can sit on it and it makes the resistance curve of the movement sooo much more even versus having no resistance at the bottom of each movement. When I switch from ext to curls, I pull out the flywheel pin and lift the loaded arm up and over to the other side. It’s a game changer! One day I’ll get a selectorized ext/curl, but for now this have been great!
Thanks! Really appreciate it. And great tip on the ARES rack-I'll definitely check it out when it's time to upgrade. Sounds like you've had a solid experience with it!
Really nice gym. Well thought out pieces of equipment. Have you tried adding bands to your leg extension/leg curl machine. I've found at the start of the leg extension movement and the end range for the leg curl there is not much resistance. adding a band or two really helped. 100% get the Texas deadlift bar won't be sorry. Thanks for the video!
Thanks a lot! No, we haven’t tried adding bands yet, but that sounds like a VALID idea-we'll definitely give it a shot. And yeah, I’ve been eyeing the Texas deadlift bar for sure. Looking more and more like the next purchase! lol Really appreciate the tips and the compliment on the gym!
Those are all great uses! For the seal rows, do you use the utility seat pad, or is it comfortable enough without it? I'm curious to try it out but we didn't get the pad.
We bought it from Amazon, but it looks like the exact model we got isn't available anymore. The store's name is Usikey-they've got some similar items still up for grabs!
Great review. I thought weight plates for a functional trainer was better than selector. The weight on the selector has a limit. Then with a pulley system. You have half that weight.
