Powerline BSG10X Home Gym, Short Assembly, 160lb Weight Stack

Love this machine. Was delivered in one large box. It comes mostly assembled, but it’s in enough pieces that you can carry them anywhere in your house for final assembly. All the cabling and pulleys are already on the machine. There really are only nine bolts to install. But I took my time with it — about an hour and a half. If I had help, I could have done it in under an hour.

I have a weight bench with free weights, but I purchased this machine so my wife and children could lift without the dangers posed by free weights. They can lift with this machine without me there to spot them.

Comes with 160 lbs of metal weights, which is plenty for me, my wife and our children. No, you can’t add any more weights to the set.

It works great and is very compact. Fits nicely in my basement, which does not have a very high ceiling. To change the weights, you just pull a metal pin out of one slot and stick it in another. Takes about a second. The weights and the levers move very smoothly, just like the machines they have at the gym. In fact, this is very close to gym quality (probably because Body Solid makes some commercial equipment, I believe).

I have not completely abandoned my weight bench, but you just cannot beat the convenience of this home gym. Changing from one exercise to another is a breeze, so I’m able to get my workouts done a lot faster.

I did not buy the optional leg press because, from the pictures, its looks like you can’t use the curl bar while the leg press is attached, and it would be kind of inconvenient to have to put the leg press on and off every time I use the machine. If anybody has the leg press, I’d love to hear how it’s worked out for them.

Best Fitness BFOB10 Olympic Bench

this bench is nice. it has three incline positions and a flat position. the description in amazon says that there is a declined position but there isnt somone needs to fix that error. its deceiving. the bench is sturdy and works well with 6ft bars at the least.the only two downsides to this bench is that there is two seating spots. one for the bench pressing, and one for the leg developer area. and in between these two areas is a gap. and that gap is pretty uncomfortable. i mean you cant just sit in the benching spot cuz its too short (well for me at least). over all this is a good bench

Harbinger 143 Men’s Pro FlexClosure Wash & Dry Gloves

I use these whenever working out with my free weights. They definitely save your hands from blisters and a lot of other wear and tear. I’d recommend them.

Valeo AW5 5-Pound Adjustable Ankle / Wrist Weights

I like these a lot, they are comfortable and they are easy to work with. My only issue with them is that I’m small and sometimes they slide around on my ankles and arms, even when I pull it as tight as I can. If you have a small frame, you might want to try them over some pants or a shirt or something wrapped around your arms so they don’t move. I don’t blame the product for that, though, I’m just a very small person.

Valeo Competition Wrist Wrap Lifting Gloves

I bought these glves becasue i was getting callouses at the base of my fingers and to prevent the burning sensation on my fingers while doing dead lifts. Things I did not like about these gloves are:

1. This glove advertises as 3/4 finger length but only covers up to the first knuckle.

2. All the padding is in the center of the palm and none on the base of the finger.

Things I liked about the gloves:

1. The velcro wrist straps

2. The mesh back that allows ventilation

Even with the ventilation my hands were too sweaty so I bought some Gripads and they work much better. Plus I can move the Gripads up on my fingers for deadlifts and lower on my palms for bicep curls. Easier to take on and off. Much less sweating. Love the Gripads.

Valeo GMLS Meshback Lifting Gloves

I purchased the gloves (size S) for my 9-year-old daughter to practice riding an unicycle. Though they were a little big on her hands, that’s just the way she loved them. They protected her hands when she fell. At the same time, the meshback of the gloves was breathable. This made keeping them on easy, and did the protection. Thanks.

Valeo AW10 10-Pound Adjustable Ankle / Wrist Weights

These are Ten Pounds (10 lbs) total. Five each…this confused me for a bit since I thought they were ten each.

Other than that, they fit great and don’t rub blisters. Comfy and effective is how I would describe them.

Everlast Nylon Neck Developer

If you happen to have a head the size of a watermelon this is the perfect thing for you. Unfortunatly if your head is not oversized this thing is going to slide all over the place. Great price, great idea, bad design. Don’t buy.
