G3 Plate Loaded Pulley Tower

Nice machine that has become a regularly used item in the gym. great for rows, push downs, and seated lat pulldowns. only complaint is its a little short for overhead straight arm pull downs. The machine itself is fairly smooth and sturdy with simple anchor to stud installation. attachments are adequate but nothing special. I purchased a V-bar separately that i use the most.

Good build quality, easy to assemble. Routing the cables is the trickiest part but intuitive. Travel is smooth, keep it clean and lubed and I suspect I'll get years of service out of it. Great way to add cable movements to your routine, lat pull downs, tri presses, face pulls, leg kick backs ect. I'd buy again.

I wish it were taller. If you keep it clean, lubricated, and don't over tighten it's actually really smooth. The swivel pulleys hit the frame and stop short of true center. So, for 2:1 ratio usage you will need to position slightly off center for best performance. The unscrew pop pin can also ding up the chrome upright if you don't take your time and unscrew it far enough before moving. Check your guide rods for smoothness and your pulleys for burs before you put it together. Probably the most affordable way to add a cable tower or two that work well all in all.

Not the flashiest or most robust cable machine but it gets the job done. One of the more cost effective options if want a cable machine and you’re short on dough.
