Honest in-depth review of the the MaxPro Fitness portable cable gym that really exceeded my expectations. I did a 180 with how I felt about this product to the point where I anticipate this will be a staple product in my home gym. This is also a top contender in the realm of compact versatile fitness equipment unlike anything I've tried before.

@eladmitchell752 10 месяцев назад

i agree some exercises are iffy, but over all i think its cool,similar to band tension,but i think all tension is good,great for travel compact,plus it look cool with that dial tensioner,but the convenience of it is a great selling point.i can tell its good for toning and shaping the muscle,especially for side delts,bis &tris,thanks again mike...enjoy yr sunday brothe🏋🏋‍♀️🏋‍♂️

@hybridresistance 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Elad. Enjoy your Sunday as well.

@loulopez554 10 месяцев назад

Another great review but like many of the fitness products today very pricey. But fun to watch regardless.

@hybridresistance 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Lou.

@ToddDolce 24 дня назад

Glad you reviewed this Mike. The reality is for THAT chunk of change that they are asking for,....NO WAY ON THIS EARTH should that thing ever have come close to cracking. Once I saw that I immediately checked out and dismissed this as a viable option. No way Jose'. People are out of their minds that sell products to the marketplace at such crazy prices when the quality of materials used are OBVIOUSLY sub par for the physical demands that they will be knowingly subjected to. Knowing too that it cost them $200 to actually produce,...perhaps they could have spent a few more bucks to makes sure that their product was truly READY for the masses. Plus the cables are only guaranteed for 1.5 to 2 years before they meet their expected life expectancy. REALLY? C'mon man!

@thomaskennedy7842 10 месяцев назад

They should make a version that doesn't even have the center hinge. Most of us don't travel with our fitness gear and the effect on it's stowability at home would be minimal. Also, I think they should consider making one that is just a single unit similar to the unittree pump.

@hybridresistance 10 месяцев назад

Those are all awesome ideas. I don think the hinge offers more flexibility on how it's mounted though.

@timgregory82 8 месяцев назад

How good was it for sled pulls. Was there enough length to make it work

@balboa0621 10 месяцев назад

I found that the magnetic resistance is better. I love the unitree pump and have a speediance on the way. My max pro cables are still jerky and after a year of use the weight has been unbalanced from the left to right side. They say you can go in and adjust this, but for a grand I don’t think I should have to go in and do diy fixes.

@hybridresistance 10 месяцев назад

The resistance definitely takes getting used to. I can to peace with the uniqueness of how it feels the more I used it. I will say whenever I do rows, I feel like I'm pull starting a motor.

@user-cp2qw2ek5e 9 месяцев назад

Agree- I take my maxpro on vacation for a hotel room workout, but the pumps are better. I also have the squatz apollo board which is also good. How do you like the speedience? Of course I’m sure its like the apollo board but the addition of higher cables … 🙏

@balboa0621 9 месяцев назад

@@user-cp2qw2ek5e my speediance finally came this week. So far, it is FANTASTIC. The resistance is buttery smooth and much heavier than the identified weight. The Connect the Watts review on the gym pal covers things very well, including the poor shipping packaging (the plastic shell on mine came cracked at the exact location that his did).

@22airgun 10 месяцев назад

I really like getting a workout with these at the laundromat lol. I hook them on the ball hitch of my large van and it freaks out everyone else who is doing laundry lol.

@hybridresistance 10 месяцев назад

Dude that’s hilarious. You got to email me a picture of that

@aliciaj.chambers8798 5 месяцев назад

I have been thinking about getting one of these for those long summer road trips in our RV. I wonder if it can be set up to do assisted chin-ups/Lat pull-ups? Attach the handles to a doorway pull up bar or smith bar above you and stand (carefully) on the feet platform? Probably hard coming down on the eccentric? Thoughts?

@hybridresistance 5 месяцев назад

You cannot unfortunately do assisted chin ups. It can be locked out to do pull ups though. It only gives you positive or concentric only resistance.

@aliciaj.chambers8798 5 месяцев назад

@@hybridresistance Thank you for your assessment.

@Delgado-ot4lq 10 месяцев назад

Does the X3 bar system or any resistance bands system also lack the eccentric portion of the exercise? Thank you for the honest review Mike!

@hybridresistance 10 месяцев назад

Resistance bands definitely got great eccentric action. Thanks for watching.

@Delgado-ot4lq 10 месяцев назад

@@hybridresistance Interesting! I was under the impression they only provided conccentric loading. Thank you

@ParkerBinion 10 месяцев назад

@@Delgado-ot4lq Bands get harder as you stretch them concentrically, and easier when you return eccentrically. So there is good eccentric force at the beginning of the lowering phase. By the end of the lowering phase, the eccentric force is smallest. Of course, we are stronger lowering than lifting. So bands understimulate the eccentric phase.

@Delgado-ot4lq 10 месяцев назад

@@ParkerBinion This makes so much sense. Thank you for taking the time to read and add your thoughts on this!

@loulopez554 10 месяцев назад

If I missed it my bad but have you covered torro bands? I've heard they are very durable.

@hybridresistance 10 месяцев назад

I've actually never covered those. I did review the bodylastics, but otherwise my main preference is loop style bands. Thanks for watching again Lou.

@PercyMangrum-xc4hb 24 дня назад

For bench press I use ankle straps and put machine my back and do push-ups

@hybridresistance 10 месяцев назад

Those are on the list for sure.

@ParkerBinion 10 месяцев назад

Synapse CCR rocks. Highly recommend.

@wilfredotorres6628 10 месяцев назад

Hi Sliding Bench Trainer, a nice product very portable, can be taken around to travel with a limit of 300 LBS, and only works with positive movement and not negative. There is a product by bodylastics that looks impressive and comes with an EZ curl bar with increments of up to 564 LBS and is very inexpensive, just under 300.00 USD. These are resistance cable bands, and they offer over five thousand free videos.

@hybridresistance 10 месяцев назад

I do think bodylastics are great, the only problem I have with those tube bands (or some resistance bands set ups) is the transition between exercises.

@zacharybishop 10 месяцев назад

Nice review! I get paying for workout videos but I don't plan to pay to put in my own workouts. Do you lose much functionality without the app? I'm also wondering if it might be possible to use this device to convert a total gym to a rower. I have a total gym xls and lots of loop bands and Bodylastics. I really want this but only if the app isn't really necessary to get all core functionality. Also, would you say this is easier on knees & shoulders for squats & presses due to dropping to lower position without high tension?

@hybridresistance 10 месяцев назад

I personally won't use the app other than occasionally turning it on to see the rep / force from time to time, but I think it really depends on the person and their needs. I might be a minority as I never liked or would do follow along workouts or even pre-determined workouts for that matter. Your idea about using it as a rower is awesome though, I'm trying that really soon. I also can't say for sure in your situation, but I'd imagine yes, the squatting holding the handles as I demonstrated in the video wouldn't cause much stress. I also liked doing the resisted lunge as well.

@DavidZMH 2 месяца назад

If they added eccentric I would have gotten this, no hesitation but only concentric is kind of weird to me after feeling the eccentric on bands and X3

@vegan4thefreeprizes166 6 месяцев назад

I bought the MAXPRO less than a month ago along with the bench on Amazon. But one of the pulleys still is really jittery and squeaks. I really enjoy the workouts and got a good price. When does the jittery issue go away? One pulley is now smooth but the other is still very jittery and squeaky. 😞

@hybridresistance 6 месяцев назад

They have some videos on how you can fix a cable that is giving off a jagged tension. Theres's always at little friction that's different to a cable smoothness, but I'm not sure about the squeak noise. I'd reach out to them on this one.

@imagistatheimagista1870 5 месяцев назад

Looks great and great review but the lack of an eccentric phase makes it a no go. Too many gains left on the table. Hopefully they will release a product that includes the eccentric phase of the movement. Nice review though!

@hybridresistance 5 месяцев назад

Thank you.

@MrPetrello 9 месяцев назад

Hey Mike is the pull smooth or jerky ?

@hybridresistance 9 месяцев назад

It's kind of an aggressive ride, in my opinion. I wouldn't call it jerky though.

@Mater_001 7 месяцев назад

Is it possible to do bench press while lying in bed? What if you put one belly crab on the machine and put your back on it?

@IGeorge94 19 дней назад

I would be tempted if it went 600 IBS or over.

@Ronnock 6 месяцев назад

While it is concentric only, is it variable resistance or constant?

@hybridresistance 6 месяцев назад

It's a constant tension.

@Ronnock 6 месяцев назад

Now see, I like that idea and makes it a great deal different than resistance bands. If it were closer to 400 dollars and if the rumors of its jittery cabling weren't so troubling, I'd be all in. Oh, and as someone else said, it definitely doesn't need a hinge in my opinion. @@hybridresistance

@Ronnock 6 месяцев назад

Have you done a review of the Vigorfit's yet? They look like a great SBT. @@hybridresistance

@trumpdrago517 10 месяцев назад

Someone should figure this out with band like tension. Progressive and eccentric

@elbastino Месяц назад

Hi Mike, just curious... are you still using (and liking) the MaxPro?

@hybridresistance Месяц назад

I've been meaning to do an update video, but honestly can't get myself to use it based on the other things that I have. It's not that it's bad, but there's probably other things I'd use over this.

@elbastino Месяц назад

@@hybridresistance I see what you mean. I mean, I really like the HandyGym, but honestly my Body Solid Lever gym and my IsoChain are my main exercise devices. They're so much easier to handle and thus approachable.

@mrsh2167 10 месяцев назад

Question can it be attached only to a tree?

@hybridresistance 10 месяцев назад

Yes definitely. With the straps you basically attach it to all types of things.

@ParkerBinion 10 месяцев назад

Wow, the Elite Bundle currently lists for $1,379 for Concentric only. Yikes. I'll stick with my $345 Synapse CCR and get max Concentric only, max Eccentric only and max Concentric-Eccentric overload modes. You can't combine Synapse with other things (except running a band in parallel), but that's OK. It weighs 2 lbs and fits in my carry on.

@hybridresistance 10 месяцев назад

I love it Parker. The CCR is in the future for sure of future products to check out.

I'd go x3 personally, just based on my own personal use. You can probably do more things with a Maxpro, just no eccentric.
