      are your cables smooth when lifting plates? or is
      there stiffness?

    • @DanesinTexas
      @DanesinTexas  8 дней назад

      @ I changed to a thinner cable, and it’s nice and smooth now, the cable that came with it was thicker and only smooth if the weight was heavy (4 plates or more). But it’s still not as smooth as let’s say a cable machine that you find at a nice gym.

    I own a fitness company and we order mainly from china .. most Chinese machines come with 6mm thickness cable and this decrease smoothness by much .. unless u ask them for 4.8mm which i dont think this is .. u will feel that the cable stack on lighter weight isnt pulling u much and the cable is stiff .. the solution for this is just to change the wire to 4.8 .. and also opening the pulley and lubricating the bearing with a silicon spray would make them flawless and lift fitness level .. trust me on that

    This is an excellent review!! Thank you so much!! The pain you had to go thru is usually invisible to people so it is very very important to share. At the end, glad it arrived and you are having fun! Quick question - would a 3x3 attachments (J-cups, etc.) from other brands work with the uprights?

    • @DanesinTexas
      @DanesinTexas  3 года назад +3

      Thank you. Yes it was a lot of work but also because I was a rookie 🤣 the uprights are 3x3 but the end where the rack and smith part is does not have holes, but instead has steel cutouts for j cups, spotter arms etc. So more of a custom and commercial quality, which is nice but also means other brands won’t work. I’ll post a more specific video soon with those types of details since it’s a very good question 👍

      You won’t really know until you get it 🫣 however, the ones I dealt with send me updates over the chat with videos of my rack, and it is so freaking solid. I would just start chatting with companies and get a feel for it. Go with verified 4+ years of supplier, then you know they have been successful for a while and not trying to scam people. Hope this helps.

    Danes, thanks for such a great video. So cool to see your son getting his work out on too!!
    This rack really seems to have done everything right compared to most other similar racks. Looks like it's been a year since you posted this video. Few questions if you don't mind:
    How is the rack holding up?
    Can you get a full stretch when doing lat pulldowns?
    Can you add lever arms on this rack?
    Thanks!

    Is there any advantage of this machine over an inspire ft2 or an inspire scs?

    • @DanesinTexas
      @DanesinTexas  3 года назад

      Good question. I did look into the inspire series and went to a store and tried it out here locally. I didn't like that everything was "jammed" into a small space, meaning I couldn't set up stations the way I wanted, and also it was not very tall. I wanted something longer and taller. Mine is actually slimmer, but longer and taller; also, a little more heavy duty I would say, with thicker steel throughout. Also, besides the smith part, its nice that mine has an actual rack on one of the ends.

I just asked for a price for them to do DDP and went from there. But yes, it was a lot to deal with.

    • @DanesinTexas
      @DanesinTexas  2 года назад +1

      The one I wanted said minimum one, so asked for a test sample to check for quality. My plan was to order more for smaller gyms in the company I work for but finding fell through. But you can chat with them and ask 👍 if all the companies I chatted with, they all got back to me quickly.

  • @davidbueso3840
    @davidbueso3840 2 года назад +1

    I don't mind the wait, but I'm more concerned about the security of my investment. I've learned that's how many people are getting their equipment and selling it 3 to 4 times the price like Force USA, Eite pro, etc. Obviously paying less would be ideal, but is it guarantee you will get it and is there a catch? Thanks man!
    Do you have a link to that particular set?

    • @DanesinTexas
      @DanesinTexas  2 года назад +1

      Good question. I guess nothing is for sure at all, and my main concern was the quality of the equipment more than anything. I was confident, I would get a machine, but not if it was exactly what I was looking for. I researched a ton and chatted with many companies and finally went with this one (link is in the description btw👍) it was the size I wanted and more expensive than the Force USA machines that I also found while browsing around. It just looked better quality when they send me pics over the chat. They send me updates on my order when I asked and I felt good. Another concern of mine was the transport etc. it was stuck at the ports for a while, so that was a bit scary, and I didn’t take that into consideration when placing order. In end I’ve always been a gambling man, so I went for it… and honestly I just couldn’t find this setup here in the US…I wanted something with several stations I could use and the whole family can workout on without having to change up a million settings etc. I hope this helps 👍

Let me understand, you paid around 4.5k for that unique gym set where force USA like the monster g10 would have charged you 6k to 7k and being smaller. I beleive you saved a lot. Or am I wrong?
