An affordable machine
By shawn meade
I have been using this machine now for about a month and and have noticed increased muscle mass on my arms. It's great for isolating your bicepts and triceps. If you use this consistantly you'll get results and it wont take long. My arms were so weak from driving a truck and not working my muscles that I started getting pain in my arms. When I started using this machine, I could only curl about 15 pounds. Now less than a month and a half and I'm doing reps of 45 pounds. My biceps are stronger and the aches and pains went away.The only other thing I could ask, is for Body Solid to make this machine compatible for doing leg curls. It upsets me that I have to pay another $350.00 for a leg curl machine that looks just like this one, just with a few modifications. But than again, why do that when you can charge more for a nearly identical machine. Certainly worth the money and 5 stars.

This used to be my favorite machine at the gym and I was continually annoyed by people lining up to use it, stressing me out and shortening my rep cycle. Now I've got the machine at home and I couldn't be happier.This is a solid, sturdy, gym-quality machine.

Decent, but suffers from inherent flaws . . .
By Lawdaddy
First, it should be noted that this machine is set up for "standard" weight plates. If you want to use olympic plates you have to get an adapter. Although they claim the 14" adapter is what works with the machine, I suspect the 8" would be a much better fit. I'm sure there's 6" or so of just plastic hanging off the end because the actual bar is pretty short.Second, they really should have included a place to lock your legs in. I find it pretty difficult to plant myself when using higher weights (particularly when doing tricep extensions). I find myself getting my legs into odd angles on the floor, which ultimately forces me to support part of my weight that way--which then leads to movement of the machine when doing the reps (I'm not using 5 pounds here).Also, I'd say the biggest issue with this and any other angled plate machine is that the resistance is not constant throughout the entire range of movement. As the weight moves up it becomes heavier. Though this seems good from an ergonomic perspective, it results in extremely easy curls at the lower end that progress to extreme difficulty at the top. I may try using this more for partial curls so as to maintain consistency--a full curl changes a lot throughout the movement.Finally, be forewarned that your unit will arrive banged up. The packing is less than desirable and they even include touch up paint in the box--leading me to believe they are aware of the problem.It's a decent station, but not quite what I remember from a commercial setting. Although the weight issue is annoying, it is a good way to round out your bicep program since you typically lose weight at the top of your curl when using free weights (the opposite of the case here). But, I don't think this is the be all end all machine by any means.
