Bodymax CF315 Squat and Dip Rack

Product Information

Someone who prefers a more modular design can add additional pieces of equipment, like a lat pulldown or cable pulley system. Safety: There are lateral safety pins that act to catch the barbell when something goes wrong. These pins enable you to lift the barbell safely without the use of a spotter. Now to the machine. There is only one thing i can complain about it. The weight holders have plastic caps and the paint on them started to wear already because of constant use of the weights. THey could`ve used metal caps like on the smith machine bar. The rest of the machine is perfect. Great strenght, very sturdy. placed on the barbell short holders 150kg and no issue. pulleys move well, no noticeble resistance. Smith machine is perfectly balanced. Easy to do chest press and any other excercise the machine can do. Totally recommend for a home gym. a bit pricey but it is a very good investment and you will get your moneys worth, especilly if like us, me and my wife use it. One of the biggest hurdles to overcome with personal training is committing to it. Unfortunately, when it comes to weightlifting it can become difficult when relying on others to act as a spotter. Sturdy and robust the CF870 offers adjustable bar hooks and safety spotter bars, so you are in control of when you train and for how long.

Featuring 16 height positions, the dual pulley system is an extremely versatile component part of the CTX5. The high-tensile cables are rated at 910kg, meaning they are built to last, as are the dual fibreglass reinforced pulleys. Cable machines offer exercises that are designed to move with the natural movement of the body, which both maximises workout impact and feels comfortable for the user. Continuous tension means your muscles are working at all times during weight resistance workouts, increasing efficiency and helping you achieve the best results possible. The plate-loaded pulley system has a maximum weight rating of 200kg, and also comes equipped with spring collars to keep plates stable while you work out. The 1:1 cable ratio means you lift exactly the weight added to the machine.The Bodymax CF480 meets all of these requirements and more thanks to its commercial style design quality and adjustable safety bars to help give you the confidence to lift more reps even though you won’t necessarily have a spotter.[/one_half] Buy heavy rubber mats to place the machine on. I bought 6 1sq metre from them, 4 you need for the machine and 2 i placed in front of it where i can do everything else. Multiple Olympic bar and plate holder pins offer convenience while upper and lower hooks are ideal for Power Band Exercises. A conveniently positioned chin up bar provides a great strength and stamina challenge.

The simplicity of the construction and limited number of parts also means it won’t take you long to have this setup and helping you become stronger and fitter.[/one_half] Equipped with pull-up bar: This feature enables you to do dips and pull-ups. A unit with a straight pull-up bar comes highly suggested. Right size: It has to have the right height for users to perform overhead press on it. It also needs to be have the right width for more stability when doing sumo squats.Anyone who likes to have a variety of barbell heights they can choose from — the Westside spacing through the bench press area allows for precision height.

The height and width are adjusted using a pop pin mechanism, which is simple to use and provides good stability once tightened. Can be used for multiple exercises including squats, bench press, overhead press, shrugs and dips. The footprint of the CF475 is mid-range, meaning it won’t feel claustrophobic and cramped while you work out, but equally won’t dominate your gym space and leave you running out of room. Its innovative design and materials mean it can sustain 280kg of barbell weight while only weighing 69kg itself, making it relatively easy to move around your home gym or workout space. This is particularly useful whether you want to take full advantage of the strong frame design, or simply want the ability to store a wider range of weight plate sizes.[/one_half]The cable in the bottom middle of the machine requires that the handle on the left side be low to the ground for a full range of motion. (Somewhat annoying but only a small inconvenience) The cable row at the bottom middle is actyally 1:1, not 2:1 like the rest of the pulleys. I was told its 2:1 and used 200kg as i was using 110kg at the gym before, and couldn`t move it :)). SO yeah, that pulley is 2:1. The Smith Machine function includes two safety stoppers that can be fixed on to the chromed hooks. They are then able to catch the rod, in case of emergency, and thereby allow you to train safely and extend your training limits. The convenient hook system of the Smith Machine allows you to hang the rod at 15 different heights, which in-turn ensures that the Smith Machine offers a wide range of exercises.

The CF475 also features a 120kg maximum weight capacity multi-grip pull-up station, allowing you to add variety to your workouts. Choose between wide grip, underarm, overarm, pull-ups, and chin-ups to work different muscles and diversify your training regime.
