I've had the hyper pro for about 1.5 years including the leg developer. Good: Easy to adjust. It was really fast once you knew how to use it and what your settings were. I found I mostly used it for hyperextensions, leg extensions, leg curls, and GHRs. It is easily my favorite GHR machine and I've used tons like the Rogue, Rogue echo, Rep, etc. The reason I like it so much for GHRs is that I can set angles and also do them on the floor vs a standard machine that fixed pretty high up, which is scary when doing GHRs at first. As far as the leg developer, this is one of my favorites, even plate loaded. I found the strength curve with my luggage scale was 72% at start, 100%mid, and 48% end of a leg curl, thats plate loaded, which I thought was pretty good. It does really save space though - standing it takes like a 2x2' square and leg developer takes about 1.5'. Overall I really like the hyper pro BUT... The bad: I do think its way over priced. I can actually buy similar quality machines for about as much as the hyper pro. So its not a $$$ saver. Also the set up was a little much for my wife/kids so they ended up never using it. Additionally, I was always a little nervous about the pop pin just snapping, like on weighted hyperextensions. I was probably just paranoid but I wish the pin went fully through the hole, not just on one side. I used a safety pin by my rack to spot me in case it snapped because I was so paranoid. But look I've never heard of that happening, thats just my anxiety. I did notice my GHD pads wearing quite a bit after just a few months of use. Also this machine does not do reverse hypers.

I have had this machine for a year now. The more I have it, the more I like it. I have had to do a few mods to get it right and there are some issues with it, but overall for the price its excellent for flat, incline, and OHP. The good: Super easy to set up. My wife/kids can jump right on. Lots of angles to choose from. It feels like a smith machine for dumbbells, which I love as I have a unstable shoulder. Movement feels good. For a $500 machine, its worth. The bad: This is not designed for heavy weights. Arms limit says 150lbs each but honestly I could see them bending at that weight. It almost wants to bend with 1 plate on. I also wish you could adjust the handles forward/back and left/right. You can do neither and the V8 does not solve that problem and the bench of the v8 wobbles like crazy under load. No way would I pay $1000 for the v8. Just get used commercial at that point. Mods I have to do: I added a 2x4 piece of wood, maybe 4" long with a 1" hole cut out on the stoppers where the arms go. This allows the handles to be about 1" more in and allows a better curve for all movements. The machine is significantly better with this mod.

I've had this for several years now. The good: Does tons of exercises and can connect to the wall or rack. Pretty easy to load. Great for exercises like lateral raises, single arm flies, etc. Mostly can replace a functional trainer. You can find similar machines now on amazon for cheaper too and they are all most likely the same. The bad: The main post is only 1.5" so there is a ton of flex at heavy weights. Not even that heavy, like even if I have only 50lbs on there is a ton of flex. This is most seen in exercises like chest supported or seated rows. I am actually scared it might snap at some point. Realistically it should bend not snap but it is a concern. If I were going back I'd get one of the more expensive machines thats has at least a 2" post if not 2.5 or 3".

4100 is an awesome adjustable bench that checks all of the boxes depending on what you need/want. Pad - Great. Good height but if you are over 6'1" or so, I'd suggest a longer bench. I am 5'11 and this bench is just perfect for my height. Adjustment points - Perfect, its got 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 85. Anything extra is just 'nice' but not needed. These are the main ones. Seat goes up to 20, which is fine though some users may prefer 30. Ladder system - super easy to adjust Build quality - No issue, very stable over several years. Gap - A non issue. I don't ever hit the bump. Gap is not noticeable in use. Ease to move - This is a medium weight bench. Easy to move. Even my 13yr old can move it without issue. Storage - vertical storage is a much The cons of this bench: I really have no cons other than if you want attachments, this isn't the bench for you. It doesn't do decline. Its also not super long for tall people. Otherwise if this checks your boxes I have no complaints with this bench. Its a buy for life bench.
