I still can't believe I passed certification. It was touch and go for a while there. Just sad I missed the first wave. BUT IF YOU ARE READING AND DON'T HAVE ONE, HURRY UP AS SPACE IS LIMITED.

These are nice. I like the knurling and the bearings really are smooth. Nice handles. Not super pricey.

Eh...it's a nice budget piece but it was one of the earlier ones that hit the market and there have a been a few more since the release of this one that I think are probably better. The pully magic they did on this...is not great. It's like a 2/3 ratio so it's a real plate hog. I tracked down a could hundos that I could just throw on there. Quite honestly, probably something I will upgrade during black friday sales.

Hate this machine in that it works so well. It's rogue so it is built like a tank. I've had mine like 8 years with no issue. Great piece of cardio equipment if you have the room and hate your life.

Ok so I kinda wish on value, I could give this like 6 stars because for the $200 I spent, this thing was amazing. Now, that said, if you are spending $200 keep the expectations in check but honestly, if you need a cable tower and don't care if it uses plates, you could do much worse. I am going to be selling mine soon just because I upgraded to the Getrxd Viper (those tornado arms sold me) but this was a great piece for my gym while I had it. I did upgrade the pullies and have a bit of a diy lat pulldown attachment situation going as well with it but even without those additions, it worked great.

This was the gateway drug for all my massenomics banners.

This was my first specialty bar I've purchased and it's held up great. Going on 5 years and no issue and it gets used at least once a week.
