It does what it needs to, and is one of the only lat pulldowns I have found that is short enough it will fit in my basement. The downside of this is that if I want to do lat pulldowns with full range of motion, I have to remove the chain from the upper pulley, use the smallest carabiner I have, and kneel on the ground. I'm not especially tall, either, at 5' 9". That said, I'm not knocking any points off for that, it fits in my basement, and no pulldown machine could avoid having that problem with the basement constraint. Other than that, build quality is *OK*, you get what you pay for with a machine that's around $150 new. It feels a little unsteady sometimes, but it works and gets the job done. The included attachments were terrible and immediately went in the bin.

OK. So. These look really cool, but I'm not buying any more of them. I really like lifting with vintage weights, and the Roundheads are a great addition on that front. However, relative to modern dumbbells, these ones didn't really stack up: No knurling, can be bent or snap off the head on larger weights, handle is surprisingly small. That said they look really nice. I decided to stop my collection at 5-25 and use other DBs above that.

The gateway drug to vintage plate collecting. Affordable, cool, and do what they need to do

I have been a big Ironmaster fan for a long time, and this is one of my favorite pieces of theirs. I feel like it gets mentioned a lot less than other similar attachments like the Black Widow, but it achieves all the same things. Neutral and pronated grip, adjustable from the widest of wide to extremely narrow. Hole at the top allows it to be threaded onto a 2" barbell and used for landmine rows. Extremely versatile. One nitpick, I had to keep my close-grip rowing extension because the neutral grip handles don't align perfectly with the cable you're attaching too, so they twist forward or backward at a slight angle when you pull and your grip can begin to slide off the handle. Also, I personally would like more aggressive knurling.

They do what they claim to do, the rollers are getting eaten up by my Rogue Aggro bar's knurling, but I think most things that get that bar slammed into them will get eaten up eventually. Allows you to smoothly move the bar left and right, even under load. My one complaint about these is the tolerances. I'm putting a Titan roller on a Titan (T-3) rack, and one roller is so tight I struggle to get it on and off, and the other was so tight it just wouldn't go on the rack. I solved both issues with a snading belt and took off a layer of plastic, but still would expect the J-cups to fit on the rack given the price of them.

I love these handles. I don't use them too often, but when I do they're the only thing that can fill that niche. For me, especially for chest flyes, allowing my wrists to rotate my palms slightly (10 degrees or so) downward at the outer stretch of the movement actually saves me a lot of shoulder pain, and makes it possible to do volume. Given the price, I had to knock points off around build quality. The rubber handles feel cheap and are sticky. I ended up buying the 3d printed Darko handle replacement, I had doubts about 3d printed knurling, but they're a massive upgrade and make these handles feel amazing on the hand.
