      ​@@TankMAIN877 Ironically my last video is about my issues with "paid promotional" reviews of which I've never done. And this is certainly not one (although these guys do have many). I'm sorry to hear this thing is that much in AUD, but over in the USA (which is 95+% of my audience) it goes as low as $2k. And as a further note, I've made push back "problem" videos on this machine as well. I appreciate you watching and this comment as it help shed light on some important things such as price difference and paid videos.

    As a frequent viewer of the channel, I'm really curious what you think is a better bang for your buck, this thing or the lever gym? Lever gym definitely less convenient and looks to take up more space but it's less than half the cost. With similar functionality. And it would likely last longer.

    • @hybridresistance

  • @Tiger1016.
    @Tiger1016. 6 місяців тому

    This seems like the perfect compromise for a cable machine. I've owned a Freemotion Dual Cable Cross, Inspire Fitness FT2 Functional Trainer, Tytax M1, and a Titan rack in the past. Two things that never go into review considerations are the direct and indirect cost for square footage and utility space in your house and moving/remediation costs. This machine is the absolute clear winner on these fronts, so if it can live up to comparable usage with quality functional trainers, then it should be a no-brainer for most. I don't own one yet, but I am very close to changing that.

    Great review. I personally went with the gym pal as a beginner smart gym since it was way cheaper during early bird preorders. I’m definitely interested in a gym monster after I get a few years out of the gym pal. Maybe by then they will have a monster 2.0 or gym beast or whatever they decide to call it. I think the next thing they are working on is a bike.

    2. Do you think the weight is enough for exercises like deadlifts?
    I feel like i might look into purchasing a machine like this in the future, and the vitruvian looks like the best option available apart from the lack of pull down exercises available

    • @hybridresistance
      @hybridresistance  Рік тому +4

      Yes, that may be happening in the future. The only downside to base smart gyms is the limitation of other exercises using the tower. To me that's huge as that's where I'm using this the most.

  • @sydneybird116
    @sydneybird116 Рік тому +2

    As someone in their 60's, this seems safer to use than bands and free weights. Lugging and loading 45's onto bars can tweak your back if also twisting and can be hard to lift especially if you have any hand/grip issues, but maybe lugging and loading plates is also part of the training to keep you functional. Bands need some preloading which can be awkward to get under the bar or lift the handles to get into starting position. A 220 lb max load of the Speediance might be limiting. I'm deadlifting and squatting 235 and I am not even close to my potential.

    • @hybridresistance
      @hybridresistance  Рік тому

      All true right there. With regards to the 220lb limit, I'm finding for bigger movements (bench, squats, dlifts) , I just slow the pace and use pre-exhausts and then I have no need for the higher weights. It also just feels heavier than real weights, I can't really explain it.

    • @sydneybird116
      @sydneybird116 Рік тому

      @@hybridresistance Thanks for the suggestion about max weight limitations. So many of us are chasing the progressive overload as taught by Starting Strength that we seem a failure when the plateau hits. And more shameful when the 85 year old great-grandmother is deadlifting 300 and you are at 230. Do you have a video about pre-exhausts and pacing? I would love to not have to buy two more 45's to feel manly. They are getting expensive.

      I've mostly just stuck with basic squats but at a very slow cadence and then partial rep range. But I'm also pre-exhausting them prior with x3 band belt squats first. Then after squats, I'm going into RDLs. You can do some decent leg curls, but I think the leg extensions are a little cumbersome. Rumor has it, they are making a belt squat.

      Pound for pound, you can work more of your body more directly with this machine. Not to mention all the various intensity settings. The downside (and possibly where a sliding bench trainer would win), is that this is dependent on electricity, possibly tech failing, and some find a SBT is less stressful on parts of their body (back for ex.). Also they are cheaper.

If you can program X% more weight on Eccentric so that Concentric has good tension too (unlike Vitruvian where Concentric is 0 lbs in Eccentric mode) AND simultaneously have some sort of spotter mode that reduces weight as you tire during the set (auto drop set/reps), then that would be very interesting indeed.

      This is true, if you got the space and $$ a functional may be the way to go. But there certainly unique pros that machine can do that a functional trainer cannot. For instance, there's some exercises that would be very cumbersome to set up without the ring, not having the additional resistance modes, and having the opportunity to have resistance coming directly under you.
