Reviewing the pros, cons, features, and why I like using an assisted pull / chin up, dip machine. This is a beast of a machine that is competitively priced compared to other "lever arm" assisted pull ups. This is put out by GMWD who also make ER KANG products on amazon. I've reviewed their lever gym and power rack, both of which have been solid products for the price. So while I was a little hesistant to agree to this (non-sponsored) review due to space, I knew this could be a potential sleeper hit for people's needs / wants in their home gym.

My youngest brother has this exact machine, he bought it because he was not able to do a single pull up. Using this machine he managed to work up to the point that he can now do 3X8 full (unsupported) pull-ups. The plastic mounts for the weight really are weak points and will break, he bought an extra stand with wheels (from Kettler) to put the plates on. All in all he is satisfied, though he bought it in a sale for 450 and said that would be the absolute max price that it is worth. Anyway thanks for the review, solid like usual.

I think it's a value. This machine and squats and you're set for life.

I’d like to get one but it’s currently unavailable. It’s $400 cheaper than the powertec too.

@SkylerKingTW 6 ай бұрын

The very first thing I would do is modify it so that the pad was removable and weight could be added to that side of the machine, so that you could use it for weighted dips and pullups, similar to the original Nautilus Multi-Exercise machine.

The assisted pull-up/dip machine at the gym is one of my favorites as well. Since I can’t fit one into my basement, I look forward to using it there. It’s the same with other large pieces of equipment. The GR8FLEX is great for the home because it’s compact and allows for exercises that can mimic many of the other pieces. Good clip!

Nice review! I like these machines for working on building strength towards dips and pull-ups aside from other types of dips and pulldowns. I prefer the plastic weight storage than powder coated but The chrome ones seem the best to me. Enjoy your new gym piece.

cool machine, if I trained differently and did more dips and pullups i’d get this for sure edit: in an earlier video you referenced doing martial arts. what kind of stuff did you do?

@hybridresistance 6 ай бұрын

Starting in mid twenties pretty dabbled in everything from mainline stuff like bjj, kickboxing, no gi submission wrestling to the more obscure stuff like wing chun / kali. But that was more for fun not practical. I counted the other day it was over 10. I was pretty much was obsessed training various gyms around the east coast. Submission wrestling was my favorite. Why I stopped is a story for another day.

Watching this video and looking over all the equipment in your garage it struck me clearly again that the TOTAL GYM is well and accurately named. All the exercises one can do on all this variety of apparatus can be done--yes--on that humble little solitary piece of equipment, (with attachments). I can see that dedicated body builders have the desire and drive to go large and hard core. All this equipment is understandably attractive and useful to them. However, for me and most home exercisers, this is overkill in terms of cost, space required, and exercise goals. For myself and the many like me, Total Gym IS the perfect home exercise tool: compact, affordable, and effective. This video really brings that home!

@hybridresistance 6 ай бұрын

It for sure is a Total Gym. However there are still many weak points that hopefully will be addressed on a future sliding bench trainer. Love hearing how you're using yours.

@davidmembrila8041 5 ай бұрын

What do you prefer this or a lat pull cable machine in terms of muscle development or mind to muscle?

@hybridresistance 5 ай бұрын

If I had to choose, a lat pull machine.

@steverapos3904 6 ай бұрын

$600 is pricey - niche product. Similar to a leg extension I suppose, but easier to do these exercises with your other gym equipment, including using a functional trainer to connect a strap to use the weight stack for the assist.

@hybridresistance 6 ай бұрын

For sure, I got into that towards the end of the video. It's up with most arguments of "extra" (but not necessary equipment). Pretty much boils down to your interests, budget, space, and the type of training you're doing. But you guys know if you watch the channel, you can build a great body with VERY minimal equipment.

Due to me not having the height required in my basement, I planned on buying this & keeping it outside & putting a tarp on it when not in use to protect it. Keep in mind I live in the Midwest (Illinois to be exact) but what do you think of keeping this outside?

@hybridresistance 5 ай бұрын

Honestly, I don't know about that. I know a lot of people have put much cheaper pull up bars outside, so I assume it will hold up. But obviously probably not the best for long term durability .

@treasurethetime2463 6 ай бұрын

It truly is a luxury machine. And not based on the price either. The fact that it can be easily substituted with just a band makes it luxury. This is coming from a guy who uses this at the gym routinely to warm up for pullups.

@oldnatty61 6 ай бұрын

Totally disagree. This machine and a way to squat could serve someone for the rest of their life. Some of the most impressive natural physiques in the world were built on playgrounds w/ squats, pull-ups, dips, and push-ups.

@treasurethetime2463 6 ай бұрын

@@oldnatty61 lol. Not sure what you are disagreeing about. We're not suggesting bands substitute for pullups or dips, merely the assistance for pullups and dips can be accomplished with bands, which is the entire purpose of this device.

@oldnatty61 6 ай бұрын

@@treasurethetime2463 $600 to cover the whole upper body and open the door to some of the most result producing workouts out there. How much $ is being saved by not buying benches, barbells, dumbbells, lat pulldown? This machine allows someone who can't do pull-ups or dips to conveniently build up to doing them w/out assistance then adding extra weight to their body.

"The fact that it can be easily substituted with just a band makes it luxury. This is coming from a guy who uses this at the gym routinely to warm up for pullups." So all you're using at the gym for pull-ups and bar dips is "a band"? No dip station or pull-up bar, just levitation?
