We have been happy with this piece. It has good range of motion however my wife indicated she things there is a bit of play at the beginning of the movement and she would like it to have tension immediately. Also it has a nice shroud over the weight stack that looks nice and provides a cup holder and phone holder etc at top. This feels very solid and it operates very smoothly. This or the temple of gainz would be good options for people but I decided to go with this as I also bought two other machines from ForceUSA.

This is the best smith machine attachment out right now. It is very smooth. I like how it does not need to be on the uprights and can be between the post so does not cause you to lose use of an upright. Also this comes with a bar which for me was an advantage but for others that want to bring your own bar you will want to wait for next version. Another advantage is this can be attached vertical or at an angle.

I really like these for bench. They make it so much nicer to just be able to lift bar straight up. I like them for squat as well however you may find that you can hit them on way back up from a squat but this vary from person to person. I did ding it a little on price as they are pretty expensive.

This is a great bench for the price. Rep makes great benches overall. They have some of the best pads/vinyl. I like this because it is true FID and gave me a decline position and my wife like the included leg rollers. We actually bought two of these to match the color of each rack.

This is a solid rack for a small set of dumbbells. Price is good. Holds an entire set of 5 Paris of dumbbells. The only issue was weight capacity so I had to break up the dumbbells between it and the 3 shelf rack next to it as I am adding dumbbells past 50 up to 75.

I like this but my wife really likes it. Belt squat is a nice way to change up squat routine. This takes up no space which is a big plus. We have the dual weight horn add on which helps a lot even with just making it easier to changed plates. We also have the swan neck which has been nice for storing and moving side to side if we need to adjust to get out of the way of something else. The kickstand we have also but I almost feel like that is a default and not really an add on as I think everyone needs that. My wife still did not like how far down she had to squat and pick up the weight to start so she put a small wooden block on the floor and kickstand sits on it so it lets her start as 0 resistance and then when she moves the kickstand she can start the set. We have it attached to a Rogue Monster Strip off of a wall so lets us use it wall mounted and not rack mounted but not fixed on the wall as we can move it up and down the monster strip.
