Force USA G6

||| FORCEUSA G6 PROS ||| Any normal home gym "enthusiast" doesn't need much more than this. The purchase includes nearly any standard attachment needed. You would just need a bench, bar, and some plates | Solid value. If you attempt to create the same setup, at the same quality level, with the same weight stacks, smith machine, and all the attachments from some of the other big names (Rep, Rogue, etc), you are likely to spend double | The profile fits nicely in more confined spaces, especially when considering the tapered back-end of the unit | Even with being an import, the overall quality is pretty solid. I have never questioned the integrity or stability during movements | I opted for the aluminum pulley upgrade and the cables are really smooth | The overall height of unit is more than some other systems, but that makes the pull-up bar and smith machine much more useful in terms of range of motion and storage ||| FORCEUSA G6 CONS ||| The weight stack guide rods rattle a little when doing pull-ups or bumping the machine. A little black electrical tape near the top of rods stops that though | The smith machine bar has poor knurling terminations, but works fine | The J-cups needed an update. Not only do they look a little dated, but they can ding your barbell when re-racking. Like much of the other attachments, they use a bolt-on 1" pin for the uprights. The head of this bolt is exposed, without any cover, UHMW, or rubber. Titan and Rep has J-cup options that do fit this instead | The uprights are a true 2" x 2" and can be limiting with other attachments. The unit comes with nearly anything you need anyway | The foot press plate attachment is awkward and does not feel safe or feel nice when in use. The idea was cool, but failed in execution | The weight horns on the back are not spaced far enough apart to proper fit bumper plates on all 3 horns without rubbing (Rep's, at least). Lifting slightly on a horn is necessary to get a plate out |

I didn't pick this up new, but used off marketplace it was very reasonable for what you get. The two 220lb stacks are nice, but with the 2:1 ratio it isn't heavy enough off 1 side for pulldowns or rows. I haven't had an issue with any other exercises and the weight stacks. It is a bit narrow and with the angled back design it conflicts with a bench getting all the way back to use the Smith machine for seated pressing. Overall it gets the job done very well and I'm not worried about it breaking anytime soon, just wish it was a bit bigger.
