Pros: Great build quality, awesome angles. Cons: Bearing most likely needs lubricated periodically, unnecessarily heavy.

The Ibex is incredibly underrated and is a damn near perfect functional trainer solution for home gyms. The form factor is sleek and compact, so the weight trolleys and cable carriages take up minimal space on your rack. The pulleys and cables are routed smartly and precisely so that they don't add unwanted bulk to your rack and stay out of the way of your other attachments. The Ibex is unbelievably smooth, much better than other plate loaded cable machines AND many selectorized units that I've used. The real sauce is in the cable retractors though! These allow you to unlock and pull out as much cable length as you need, then lock the retractor and engage the weight trolley at your preferred position by letting the cable retract to engage the weight. This means you can get into position with no tension on the cable before starting your movement. This is insanely useful for movements like seated cable press, overhead triceps extensions, and chest supported rows. I can't recommend the DM cable systems enough, especially the Ibex.

The VTS is a fantastic attachment for your rack which adds a ton of variety for upper and lower body movements. It's incredibly well built, feels premium, and can handle all the weight you throw at it. Dialing in the rollers is tedious (check out MWPiG's setup video on Youtube to see what I mean) but makes the VTS pretty damn smooth for a roller-based trolley system. Performance-wise, it operates just as you'd expect from a smith machine and is actually quieter than most smith attachments. Unfortunately, it's heavy by default though. With a standard 45lb barbell, you're looking at a starting weight of around 95lbs. With iso handles, you're looking at ~30-35lbs per handle. Swapping barbells/handles isn't difficult, but definitely inconvenient enough that I find myself not choosing movements that would require me to do so during my workouts. Value-wise, it's a premium attachment that I feel warrants the price tag; I find that it adds enough exercise variety to my home gym that makes it incredibly valuable. If I were only looking for barbell smith machine movements though, I'd look to the VTS Lite instead. I am skeptical about the hex port ecosystem because I haven't found that useful yet, but I'm hoping BPF releases compatible attachments that interest me in the future.

This is probably the best EZ curl cable attachment at its price point. Rotates smoothly, looks/feels nice and gets the job done. Speaking on performance though, I think the knurl is too passive, the diameter is too thin, and the angles aren't sharp enough; I ultimately got rid of this and upgraded to a more premium option

A little pricey for what they are but the quality is there. These are certainly better than standard ankle cuffs because they secure across your heel also which spreads the force better across your foot. There are several D-Ring attachment points, so you can hit leg movements in any direction you'd like.

I have the V2 which is insanely versatile, takes up a small footprint, and adds plenty of commercial-quality movements to my home gym. V3 is even better with more height adjustments and head pad positions available, but I haven't had any issues with these on the V2 at all. I do wish the arms were telescoping and the handle angles could be adjusted though; this would unlock a lot more functionality and make the experience even better for individual preferences on the advertised exercises.

Pros: Combo unit, near commercial quality, solid price point, great pads, a lot of adjustability, great range of motion on both movements, smooth as butter. Cons: Leg extensions will be easy to max out for many folks; just the way combo units typically are. I get around this by slowing tempo and increasing reps/sets.

All the functionality of the Hammer Strength Iso-Lateral Row at half the cost. This machine has been a gamechanger for my Pull days. Want to destroy your lats? Set the seat up high and row with the neutral grip. Want to fry your upper back? Go wide overhand on the top grips. Giving 4 stars for performance only because you may need to add a bench wedge or another type of pad to increase ROM if you have long arms. Not a problem for me with the wide grips but I definitely need more ROM on the neutral grips. Also giving 4 stars for value since this machine is GREAT at what it does, but ultimately it takes up a good amount of space and only does rowing movements. Price point is definitely worth it though!
