I bought this on sale to tide me over until Dialed Motion's hits. That said - it works well. I added a pulley to the main support to route a FT cable through and used a barbell 'belt squat' collar to hold the cable on the weight horn. It's a simple setup that can be upgraded like many owners have, but even on it's own - its pretty good. I had and sold the FA leg developer because it was a nuisance to move/store/setup. This is so simple and especially on my FT - just as good.

This shape hurt my shoulders/hands (160lb 6' man). But, it's the best price for a y-dip that doesn't REQUIRE a hitch pin for a 5/8" rack. So on/off the upright is very simple. If it felt better for my body I would have kept it.

Great lightweight kettlebell that changes weights super fast. The weights are securely locked in and it is stupidly simple to use. FA's new offering is maybe better, but if you can get this cheaper and want just the light weights - its great.

If you aren't doing 'sport of kettlebell' these are a great option. FA has made some lovely ones lately, but these guys pioneerd the design and I think you can get them cheaper sometimes (I got mine off Powerblockdeals.com). I don't do a lot of cleans, the odd shape may not work well for those. But, these work great for carries, swings, marches, presses, goblets, lunges, step ups, gorilla rows (my fave) etc... The weight is locked in. It changes weights lightning fast. It's so simple.

Note: I bought these on a huge blackfriday sale, so my 'value' is skewed. These are my favorite way to bench press, but not without modifications. I took off their handles/weight horns and replaced with the Megalilth Handles and a cheap weighthorn that I mounted 'verticaly' rather than to the side. That said, these are great for that motion and shoulder press too. They allow you to select where to start by putting mag pins in one 5 holes. They are trolley based, using rollers, to slide up/down the uprights. All that is great. My issues are: they could use a few more 'starting point' hole options. mostly to start a bit lower. The release system for the trolley feels 'tight' or 'strained' - it's not as easy as I'd like to release/engage. You have two options for horizontal movement - locked like a traditional jammer arm or 'free' swinging 180 degrees however you/physics manipulate it. Other 'free motion' arms have the ability to lock the horizontal position in a few places. I didn't think I'd need that, so I didn't mind buying without it for the sale price I got. Finally, these are HEAVY. It's not a simple feat to adjust them comfortably. I'm tempted to get a spring balancer for each one to lighten the load and make it easier to adjust each arm. I think I'd get more use out of them, but then thats more expense to make them work.

If you're in a 'small' space, this is wonderful. I had a full ohio power bar before this. When I switched to shorty bar i felt free. I could deadlift, spin in a circle, and not damage anything. Yes the sleeves are shorter, yes its 35lbs...but its a rogue bar so it feels and works great (I love cerakote vs. zinc). Its less unwieldy if you're trying to maneuver it one-handed. I love it. I gave it 4/5 for value because Its expensive and there's lots of bars that will work great for my skill level.

This is a good rack. Nowadays, its not a great rack. I was lucky to get this in Covid. But now a 5/8" rack just isn't going to be as versatile as a 1" rack. This also has a ton of 'designed' wobble when doing anything on the pull up bar because of the fold-away feature (something I've never used). If you want a fold-away rack - go PRX. If you want slim there's a ton of wall-mount options that don't fold. If I did it all again, I would go wall mount Athena I think. All that said, this rack will out live me. It does what I need it to, the stringers made installation simple, and I never doubt it's capabilities.

Obviously this is catering to a niche... one I fit perfectly into. You want a FT but you don't want something that takes up more 'total sqft' than a power rack. I use one wall of a garage for my gym and we try to keep the garage functional for other things (cars, kids stuff, storage, egress, etc...). The Anker 7 has an extremely small footprint with, as far as I can tell, full FT functionality. I have 200lb stacks at 1:2 and they are great. For lat pulldowns or rows I use a joiner to join the two cables and get a full max 200 lbs (enough for me). For lat pulldowns I also have a ceiling rig to get full ROM (see my photos). Something that isn't a knock against the FT, but something to consider: You can't add/use the uprights for anything other than adjusting the cable height. All the folks who want to do some innovative jammer arm/gibbon arm things... this is not for you. If you're concerned about the width of the machine and getting "full stretch" I haven't really experienced an issue where I feel like I'm lacking ROM, and I'm 6'0. TLDR: Awesome slim FT with minimal tradeoff.
