 Good Poduct for the AVERAGE lifters November 12, 2006
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
I workout alone at home (no spotters), therefore i though of having the smith machine handy to go through some sticking points. However this machine cannot handle the weight i use. I loaded the smith the first da at 325lbs and this looked so unstable, i thought it was going to break. but for smaller lift this is not a bad machine. The preacher attachment is well padded, the cable row is smooth. The bench that comes with the machine is very versatile too. Over all good machine (cheap and sturdy for standar lifts). Above 300lbs starts feeling alittle shaky.
 I've been very pleased with my purchase! November 9, 2006

The product was moderate to difficult to assemble. There are hundreds of pieces and the directions aren't the best.
However, that is my ONLY complaint- it functions incredibly well. I love that everything is plate loaded. Everything is an appropriate size and well positioned on the machine. I recall looking at the picture online that I wasn't sure if there were plates on the back of the cable system- there are not. It has a bar where standard round plates are loaded. You can use regular weights with the system or you can put on the adjustors for olympic sized weights.
There are only 2-3 pieces which require an additional person to assemble. Try not to over-tighten the nuts and bolts because it will cause the metal around it to bend in slightly.
An Excellent value for the recreational athlete. February 20, 2006

First let me say that I am a recreational weight lifter with about 8 years under my belt. I am not a hardcore bodybuilder or powerlifter. I am a 33 year old father of three who enjoys bodybuilding as a hobby. This doesn't mean I don't expect alot from my equipment, I just wanted to give you background first.
The Pros:1)Super value even with shipping compared to several peices. 2)Everything works smoothly for a unit in this price range. 3)You can do nearly everything with this machine with the obvious exceptions. 4)You get 5 diff. cable attachments.
The Cons:1) The angle and proximity of the smith bar becomes annoying. 2)The ergonomic hump in the bench is more limiting than comforting. 3)The bench unit's lower half does not adjust, so you slide on inclines. 4)On declines the pads are not properly placed to hold you in position so you slide.
Overall: The con's are really just nit picking things compared to the pro's. All in all this is a great unit for the money if you have the room for it. Also you do not need Olympic plates for this machine. All the bars are 1" with plastic 2" adapters that you attach. Also schedule 3 hours for you and a friend to put this thing together. There you go and God bless.
