You will probably not outgrow this gym. Though there are no weight references on the plates the weight stack resistance is fantastic. There's a short bar, lat pull down bar and ankle cuff. (No triceps rope but that can be purchased seperately) you can perform exercises for every muscle group, including seated rows. Hope this helps.

3 cords each side each cord does not terminate except in a handle, which means you can pull the top right and bottom right with an arm and a leg at the same time. This changes the overall load on each cord, which makes the "pull weight" vary. Nominally, the narrow cord is a 25 lb pull, then a 35 lb then a 50 lbon each side comes with a complete guide so you can use it on the muscles you want. It comes completely assembled, just hang it on a door, put the 2 pull handles where you want them, and go. BTW, Buy it on the web, new, for 1/3

To second Matthew C's response one kilonewton is about 225 pounds of force. Along the major axis of the carabiner it is rated to 24kn. This 'biner is meant for more than just your keys. It might not look like much to people who have no bearing on climbing what-so-ever but this carabiner is definitely stronger than one ton. I have these on all of my cams and routinely entrust my life to these things. I've taken 20 foot falls onto these things and they don't even bat the proverbial eyelash. Though plenty strong I would also second the recommendation to use a locking 'biner.

JC, I did not get the handle/stabilizer bar. I had no prior experience and I was able to do all the moves on the trampoline without any difficulty so I cannot personally see the value in a handle/stabilizer bar. I am fairly athletic with good (maybe excellent) balance. If a person was not as sure of balance then maybe a stabilizer bar would be good to start with.

It says the Jungle Gym XT comes with "two 1,500 pound syspension straps". Do not exceed 250 lbs of force on a single handle. I hope this helps.

I found that these have the best wooden handles you can buy, period. However, I could not get the straps to hold my weight reliably at 240. I purchased some straps from an auto parts store and switch between those and loops from a climbing gear store to use the rings. I also recommend the book "Overcoming Gravity" for proper technique and regimen. Good Luck! :D

Hello yes the cable is like a boat trailer system - you want to use it to take up the slack - then use the hydraulic jack to lift - if it was not like this I think it would only be 1/2 as useful

I think you should get the "platinum" model, not the cheaper original one or your feet won't clear the base properly. That is your main worry, so order from reputable source. Parts missing is likely to be a rarity, the other problem of the feet is a certainty. The machine will work the biceps and upper back muscles used to pull arms downward and backward quite well. It won't work triceps.

The squad rack is VERY sturdy. I'm actually 6 FT. as well. Bout 225lbs. The spotters are very well made and you have about 3 or 4 different levels you can put the spotters on. They are also great for using when you want to do any type of shrugs, deadlifts, biceps curl using the barbell, etc. It's actually real nice for that stuff. I have squatted well over 350lbs using the squat rack but I re-racked it. I have yet to "need" the spotters. But I'm certain if they were needed they would NOT fail. The system is very sturdy and nicely made. I workout on it almost everyday!! I've had it for maybe close to a year now. Can't remember exactly when I bought it but it is real nice. You won't be disappointed. Any other questions feel free to ask. And good luck with your purchase!!

I don't know if there is a weight limit. Sorry.When I started using this I was about 227lbs(about 102.96 kg) and it held me just fine. With that said, I needed cables that offered more assistance than the red provided, and I ordered the blue cables and used them for a month and then I went back to the red cables that came with the unit when I was stronger/lost more weight.

Al; The snatch block will handle 1/4 to 1/2 inch cable. I use it with 3/8 inch cable from a 10k winch. Easy to use and very well built. NOTE! Keep it lubed!

Hello this machine can hold quite a bit of weight, I've loaded each stack with 2, 45lb plates (270lbs),but make sure you get the Olympic adapter sleeves because the machine itself will only hold standard weights. Body solid carries a very good adapter sleeve, they offer2, a short one & a longer sleeve go with the longer one. They are easy to attach.

I don't know if the ratio is documented anywhere, but it doesn't feel significant. Even using the attachment with no weights, you can feel enough resistance for a shoulder extension warm up set. When I went to LA Fitness, there were more pulleys on their cable machines and I had to pack on weight, even on warm up sets.

I honestly couldn't tell you. The product did not meet my particular needs so I returned it. It seemed sturdy and well built and both the ropes and straps seemed quite adequate. Hope that helps.

I tied a 2.5 pound plate to the back velcro strap, eventually took it off though because it was too awkward. I just use the shoulder rig as is now with no counterweight. If you look around a little more, I believe there is an updated version of this shoulder rig out there that has a counterweight already mounted to the back shoulder piece.

????? I really don't understand the question. BUT, I will review in that these are great - one of the best exercise methods I have ever purchased. FYI... This is a unit with three (3) cables.

well with the rope it cuts the weight in half then distributes it to two arms fo it goes from 150 to 75 to 37.5 per arm. can they lift 40lbs. comes down to same as a compound really, if they cant buy them some black bands and have them practice the same motion.
