Pulley system gym

It fits my 3x3 rack. No scratches on my rack, and it has a smooth glide. The directions are not super descriptive, but I think the reason that some people are have problems is because they a fully tightened the screws, thus not giving the rollers room to flex. If you do that, it's not going to fit. I'm not a fan of the locking mechanism. However, this is the best alternative to the VTS. Like the VTS, it fits all Barbells from 28mm to 50mm. So if you have specialty bars, they will fit no problem. During my research, SYL doesn't do that; it ranges from 28mm to 32mm, which isn't bad, and they are very versatile. However, I don't like being limited. I would say these are VTS's biggest competitors. The truth is, VTS's only saving grace is that hook. However, you can always go to a metal smith/worker who is good at their craft and have them commission something for you. It's not really a copyright infringement, especially since those hooks already exist on standard Smith machines Going to research to find a 360 bolt that will keep flesh just enough and allow me to slip my bars out easier.

It ain't bad, instructions are non existent, very basic drawings. It's not rocket science but, it'd be nice to have a little more guidance. Overall it does what it's supposed to do, Safety wise.

This VS SYL VS VTS? For the price, it’s okay. The directions are unclear, but it’s pretty self explanatory. I have the Fitness Reality 810XLT V1 rack (2x2). I only use it as a smith machine. I don’t fear for my life using it (but I have a few spotters set up), but I do have some safety concerns. I don’t even mind that it’s not smooth, but the bar will move left and right. There’s been multiple times (squatting and shoulder press) where it’s moves ever so slightly and I am fighting to move the bar horizontally to rack the bar. They provide screws and these rubber things, but if you tighten the screws then it would be hard to unrack the bar. Sometimes (7/10 times) after I rerack the bar, it *clink*. I am not sure if it’s because it shifts down the spotters slightly or what. The screws that hold the latch pins, will loosen VERY easily, which is why it is important to have spotters. I would also use a barbell you don’t care about since it’s mostly medal on medal. I also see in the future of needing to replace the screws and such from overuse/them being stuck from the Allen wrench grinding too much. The 45lb barbell I use is a hard to move up and down compared to a normal smith machine (which usually weighs 25lb), so be aware of that. RDLs were hard for me to perform by unracking vs starting from the bottom position. Edit: I added noodles, I am looking for a more permanent solution with a pipe, but for now this is working fairly well. I added “stoppers” at the end of the barbell outside of the trolley’s to prevent left and right movement.

does not fit standard 2 inch rack without a lot of forcing. Even the , the fit is poor and does not roll smoothly. Do not waste your money on this product.

The cable aspect works great. The Smith part not so much.

I can't believe I finally made the best investment for my home gym! This little pulley system is an absolute game-changer—it's silent and smooth, reminding me of my glory days back in high school. I've had it for almost three months now, and I find myself loving it more with each passing day. Sure, I wish I could splurge on some weight plates, but my wife insists our kids need food and clothes first (can you believe that?). For anyone on a budget, this is hands down the second-best option! Your muscles will thank you later, and trust me, your wife might just start feeling a bit jealous as you turn heads with your amazing physique! If you're sitting on the fence about this purchase, just take the plunge! You've made it through this ridiculously long review, so it's clear you're interested. Honestly, I should have been compensated for all the time I put into this instead of hitting the weights! Don’t wait—grab this fantastic pulley system and watch your home workouts transform!

Solid setup! Takes a little time to install, so just be prepared for that experience. Pulley cables are fairly long enough. If someone wanted to purchase the cable materials and create a setup to their specific needs that option is available.

These pulls work, but they don't quite fit on my Mikolo Rack. If you put anything heavier than 65lbs. on them, they drag and screws try to back themselves out. The Smith function seems to do ok, but the individual pulleys struggle a bit. In hindsight, I should have just bought a better rack with built in front pulleys.
