First time watching any of your videos. I was looking for something like this and wanted to see the practicality behind it. You did a great job articulating the strengths and weaknesses of this. Thanks for the review! Subscribed!

Thank you for making this!! Not all heroes wear capes!!!!

Helpful because you do the exercises adapted from the gym machines that my trainer shows me in the gym. I made a similar set up from hardware store parts here in Australia. Also learned why I need a rubber pad too. The doggo was a definite plus.

thanks for this mate, really helpful to see someone using it before buying

I bought a different system, but it is very similar. I wanted to see how you worked lats. I was hoping to do full lat pulls, but you addressed the problem of positioning. I thought maybe I had missed something, but it seems you see it like I do. I liked your review. Great set up! It's great when the gyms are closed or you need alternatives. Thanks!

Nice review. My wife just bought me one of these

There’s a pulley system just like this one but for $19 on Amazon. Works perfect me. Added it to my lat pull rack…installed the pulley on the bottom….now I have a lat pull up. Great for seated row as well.

Can you anchor this to a standard door hung pull up bar safely?

I have the same one, I love it!

Can you use switch the pulley down for biceps etc, upwards pull?

How would you connect it without a bar to anchor to?

Loved this review man. I just got a similar pulley and was able to shorten the cable by tying a few knots and securing them with zip ties. I can do lat pulldowns by sitting on the floor and resting my feet against some heavy dumbbells.

Hey brother how's it going? I just saw your video about lifting after l5s1 surgery. I remember you said that you were back to squatting and deadlifting in the 400s. How is your back doing now? I ask because I had a discectomy and a laminectomy 9 years ago and was told that I would most likely never need surgery again. I just recently started a job where I move 50 lb buckets around. You just gained a new subscriber.

Thanks for reaching out and I greatly appreciate the sub! I’m glad to report that I am still pain free but I did have one occasion when the pain retuned to where it was pre surgery. After a high volume deadlift session I caught a 5 hour flight to Texas. The day after the flight my back pain was at a 10. It persisted for around 2 weeks. It resolved after taking doctor prescribed prednisone. I believe this was in July of 2021.. fast forward to today I still lift heavy but I completely removed barbell deadlifts from my training since that incident. I will perform dumbbell RDL’s but I stay in the 8-10 rep range and I still squat fairly heavy. I found that bodybuilding style training is more back friendly for me than training like a powerlifting.

How much weight should I use for a home gym?

Thanks I'll order for my power rack now

If you don’t like the Amazon one in Australia I got all I needed from Bunnings hardware to make this set up. There are plenty of DIY videos to be found on going this route. I’m pushing 80 so I’m not lifting more than 25 lbs so I was able to attach to attach it to a cheap doorframe hanging bar, but I wouldn’t expect it to handle serious weight.

Besides tricep extensions, what other exercises can you do? I prefer dumbbell skull crushers for triceps. Thanks so much for the review Sapien. You a god among men. A modern day ubermensch so to speak. Besides tricep extensions, what other exercises can you do?

Can this pulley system be used while seated on a bench?

It can but your limited to how heavy you can go because the force of the weight will pull you up.

Can you rearrange this to do biceps from below

Not with the configuration I have. To do biceps you’d need a second pulley attached at the bottom

for the weights, can you attach a whole dumbell instead of those weighted plates that you used? I only have dumbells atm and Don't have any plates

Not sure.. you would need to have a pretty large bar on top to attach them to. I'm saying, because those weights will tend to move a lot back and forth, and from left to right, and they could damage what's close to them. Or even hit each other. I've stuck to just one pulley system since last year just because of that. My choice...

For triceps get on you knees in front of it 9nstead of stepping back and leverages are much smoother imo

Do you feel the contraction the same as gym ones?

I just bought it from amazon. What size is your cable ? Mine is 1.8m. It’s too long for me . I want the adjustable cable so I can do chest. Due to the vaccine passport mandatory at my gym. I had to put my membership on hold. So I decided to build my own gym at home . Great review on the product and good tips on the workout 🏋🏻‍♀️ ...I enjoyed it

What's the max weight it has taken for u

Put a 2 by 4 across the black legs of your rack… step on that tilt back and u can hit the lats and back… with your feet on the 2 by 4 sitting on the ground.

I don’t know why but i just felt the weight get heavier with this cable system than the cable machine in the gym

Mine was cool… it does it’s job

not A FAN OF THE HOME PULLEY SYSTEMS THEY LOOK CHEAP AND FLIMSEY

not hating, but how do you call yourself a personal trainer and not know the proper way to do triceps extensions? you are supposed to stand back to do them so the resistance stays on the muscle. most people just imitate what they see others doing, and stand there pushing the weight straight up and down, which is incorrect

@modernsapien8327

3 жыл бұрын

I’m certified by the American Counsel on Exercise and I have years of experience. That’s why I can call myself a personal trainer. In regards to your statements on proper form, what matters most is whether or not you are actually working the triceps. All of us have different leverages so this will vary a little person to person. The second thing is that this pulley system isn’t custom made for me or my rack so I have to position myself in a way that allows the movement pattern to work my triceps. How can you know if my positioning is or isn’t putting pressure on my triceps 🤔 Explain please 🧐
