I just got a … I just got a Bodysolid Powerline home gym with leg press and agree they are a well made and versatile machine. Like with most machines it takes awhile to put together (took me about 5 hours) and you get a workout lugging the parts up the stairs, if you put it in a upstairs spare bedroom. I went for a discontinued model and saved 60%. Saved enough to get premium floor mats and a decent bench and some new barbells.
Thanks. the leg … Thanks. the leg extension on the G5S is not the most comfortable I have used but it is OK. I find it stresses my knees a bit if I don’t take a second to really push the back of my knees into the pad. the Leg curl feature (standing and facing the machine, 1 leg at a time) is not good at all but i have never used a standing reverse curl machine that was any good. Overall the G5S does EVERYTHING extremely well (except what I already mentioned) and it was worth every penny.
Very nice gym. I’m … Very nice gym. I’m looking into creating my own Home Gym – I love using Elliptical trainers while watching TV. But because am a big lad it needs to be quite sturdy and durable. The last one made clanking and clonking noises and then a number of months later just broke in half…dreadful really.
I’ll be getting my weights and benches as well as a multipurpose smith machine…probably needs to be good and sturdy as well.
preety nice setup i … preety nice setup i love the pullys small and fits snug to the wall but half that stuff you dont need lol like the bodysolid slanted bench i mean you could just use the regular bench for that also that sit thing you baught new just use treadmil/ or leg things on machine nice setup i need i have a nice weider machine with stations i love your prob bench i need ivanko pro bench and weights along with a t bar get a tbar very nice for back
Thanks for the look … Thanks for the look about. It was just what I was looking for as I am about to build a home gym. All I own now is a standard (cheap) bench and barbell set, but have some cash and an empty room now. You son showing up was a bit o a downer for me. Just lost my son to a divorce. But, what doesnt kill ya makes ya…hopefully…stronger. So, hold on to him and love him forever. I will always love my boy, though I may never see him. OK.. Enough. Peace!
I spent a bit more … I spent a bit more than $2k (most of it on the Body Solid G5S) over about 5 years… Like I said in the video… i only bought one piece of it new… the rest used but in good shape… if you are patient, you can find anything 2nd hand.
Home gym with smith machine, olympic bench, body solid G5S, cable cross over, leg press, barbell, dumbells

Really nice home …
Really nice home gym !!!
Im thinking of getting a body solid G5S mainly for the lat pulldown and leg developer
How do you find those ?
A Power Rack would be a substantial addition !
I got the PowerLine PPR200X Power Rack
and i must say that it is really worth its money !
