Awesome machine, I remember using this when it was Strive fitness at a gym way back when I was in college. Recently used this one at another commercial gym and it is so sweet. I love the three different resistance curves you can get with the different placement of the weight horns. With an unlimited budget and space I would get this, the leg curl and the leg extension all plate loaded.

Standard weight plates, they do the job - can definitely be found cheaper on FBMP, sometimes at less than $1 per lb. Sometimes inaccurate, but they will definitely get the job done.

Weight is weight - if you live by that phrase, these plates are great. Recommend getting them off FBMP as you can get them there for much cheaper than pretty much any retail outlet on the internet.

Great affordable option - I know lululemon was selling these for a while (not sure if they are anymore) and they were much more expensive than the amazon version and were the same exact thing with a different logo on them.

My brother bought the shorter version of this rack years ago and I use it whenever I am over there. I'm glad he did, as I was debating going with a shorter rack as well and after using his I went with a taller version. With that being said, his rack is perfect for his setup and space confinements and looks the same as the day he bought it.

Love these look and feel of these plates, used them at several home and commercial gyms. I'd buy them new but price from Ivanko is tough to justify. Been searching for a set on FBMP and haven't had any luck. One day I will find a good deal on them and I'll grab them.

Had bunch of these when I was starting building out. Got the from various sellers on marketplace, usually stored in a shed or somewhere outdoors covered in rush. Gave them either an oxalic acid bath or a vinegar bath and the rust came right off. Weren't super accurate but I was always able to get a great deal on them, usually less than .75 per lb.

This is something that I thought I would use a ton when I got it in a bundle from REP with several other attachments but I think I used it maybe three times total in three years, until recently. It just isn't very comfortable to use when doing sports/swinging type movements when using with a standard carabiner. However, I recently bought the swivel attachments and it has made this much more comfortable to use. Seems like if REP tinkered with it a little and made the top that connects to the cable a little more maneuverable, it would be an awesome attachment. TLDR - not great with a standard carabiner, great with a swivel attachment added to it.
