For a home gym user, would you recommend this over the Apex rack? Both great reviews. The jammer arms and customization are the main things that would make me prefer Sorinex
Thanks for the review! Im considering the selectorized version. Wanted and Apex, but the costs are much higher, the thing I'll be missing here is the jammer arms. Have you seen anyone try and use them on a Prime?
they would not work as all jammer adjustable systems require side holes (which if you drill them in it should work), now if you use the fixed jammers they are some models where the holes are in the back from the front and those would work
if you take out the pin it can be light enough, it really depends on your level of strength tho, if you do back fly's with 20 db's you should be able to use the cables for it
Thanks for the review! Appreciate your thoroughness. I'm eyeing the Prime Single Stack. How's that lat pull-down seat? I've heard it can be a little wobbly when in use.
Me too. If they fix the wobble in the seat, I will place my order the next day :) But, as is, I know the wobble will bother me when I am trying to pull heavy.
Does prime has a belt squat attachment like rep fitness does?? I have 2 buldging disk and would love to do belt squats:) debating between rep and prime rack
they do not, I personally do not like belted squats for bulging disks, I prefer the mars bar and to perform Hatfield squats or a hip press machine from rogers
Well you have to compare to what functional trainer, if i get the pick just a cable functional trainer i would pick a freemotion, the primes rack advantage lies in its versatility (its still a good cable system), shipping is something honestly i would just talk to a prime rep about, it changes based on where you are, and recently prices have been fluctuating a lot.
@@squishgymschooloflifting2398 thank you for the response... I guess a better question is, is the prime pulley system on par with say a free motion? If not is close at least? Thanks again
great review, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!

It comes down to how much space you have, i prefer the apex 100%, but if your short on space do the prime rack

Great review. Any reason to get the plate loaded over Selectorized besides switching the Ratio?
the plate loaded is lighter to move around, that's about it
amazing video! how difficult is the assembly?
Super easy and simple, comes as a piece and you have to seperate the panels.
How is it using the plate loaded version for light work like rear delt flys is the trolley too heavy like most plate loaded units!!!???

It's very stable no complaints here

@@samgs6306 especially for what it will cost for the unit plus shipping. It should be rock solid.
What is the height of tallest hole for the jcups? I am 6'6" and want to see if I am to tall to squat in this rack
77 inches, might be rough honestly, id recommend a sorinex base camp for you
Great thorough review! Cost?
I don't remember at the top of my head but it was likw 5kiah plus shipping
What product do you use to keep the cables smooth?
3 in 1 oil

@@squishgymschooloflifting2398 Mars bars will still load my spine??
Is the pulley system as good as a stand alone functional trainer?
What was shipping cost?
