![]() ![]() ![]() I'm leaning towards the Body Solid 210 with the dual 210-stacks. The Body-Solid Functional Training Center 200/210, the Hoist V6, Cybex Bravo, etc allow you to upgrade the default stacks by 50-lbs. Some of the better functional trainer manufacturers have an optional 50-lb stack upgrade which takes the total to 200-210 lbs per stack depending on the model. A few functional trainers such as FreeMotion EXT have a 210-lb stack but the ratio is 1:3 so that makes the pulling even lighter. Most are 1:2 which means at most you'll only be lifting 75-lbs per stack which probably isn't sufficient for most guys who are doing push/pull lifts such as presses, rows, etc. Nearly all start off with dual 150-lb weight stacks but you have to look at the resistance ratio on the pulleys. I've been researching functional trainers for a couple months. Well i dont like how it works, it put more emphasis on the stabilisator for sure but the moves get shaking.i dont like the feeling.make sure to test them before! The cybex was the best but commerciale everything even the price $$$, the northern light was too close, f5 is cool and its is folding no.1 fo the average joe.īut i still prefer my cross over ratio bang for the buck i think these are the bestĪctually the Powertec functional trainer has a max load capacity of 300-lbs and since there's only one weight stack with a 1:2 resistance level on the pulley that translates to 150-lbs. On the other side: I have tried a few fonctionnal trainer for many years in my job ( working in a fitness store ) and i wont change my cable cross over for any of them Its is wayyy enought like this since i have a power rack for all the bb exercise, and powerblock for db.i am a pleased guy :P On a first side: i dont know what you guys mean by more "versatile": i can do every king of row, lat pull down and fly, cross over, reverse fly, JESUS :P ( BIG POINT) tricep bicep.etc and i dont even got a adjustable one !!! cant imagine with one. I personnally have a body-solid cable cross over, and i really enjoy it! i can do plenty of exercise and it hold a good amount of weight ( plated loaded ) Because of the constant intensity I probably got the most ripped off of it as well as I felt my shoulders felt less pain over the long run oppose to using barbells all the time (because of a tearing rotator cuff). Personally, I have made incredible gains from using the functional trainer for doing dumbbell flyes and presses as well as rear delt's. Once I do that, I have full range of motion and get an incredible stretch. ![]() When you are doing a cable crossover, you always take a step out at least I do. For instance, Life fitness makes a functional trainer that is only 65 inches wide as well as Body Solid (GDCC210) at 65 inches wide and in these instances you can loose a little range of motion, but I personally have the Body Solid GDCC200 Functional Trainer with 310 lbs and each side and yes, if I am standing in the center of the Functional Trainer I will touch side to side, but who does that. It just depends on what functional trainer you have. I disagree, you will not loose the ability to do cable crossovers. ![]()
