This video was a lifesaver! That part that you showed...I have been trying for the last hour to figure out what it goes to. I am in the middle of trying to assemble the unit and I was concerned that I had missed a step. I found the same thing you did, that the part didn’t even exist in the manual. Thank you so much for this video. It was such a huge help and a relief to know I did not miss a step. I agree wholeheartedly the manual completely sucks.

I’ve had mine for about a month, and I love it. My 17 year old son put it together in about 90 minutes, without much trouble although he did complain a little bit about the instructions. I hired somebody to mount it to the wall. I would recommend using lag bolts and washers. We also used spacers, but that was because I didn’t want to cut into the baseboards. I don’t think we would have had to use them otherwise. We also mounted one screw into the cement floor to keep it from moving sideways. I’ve been able to get fully body workouts with this machine, no problem. In fact, I haven’t touched my dumbbells since I got it. For lat pull downs and cable rows, I just sit on the floor which has been fine since I covered the cement floors with horse stall mats. Obviously, I’d prefer a bench with a knee holder for the lat pull downs, but I haven’t been able to find one. My only complaint so far is that the cables don’t pull perfectly smooth, but it’s not too big of a deal. At some point the plastic wheels and/or cables will need to be replaced, and I’ll upgrade them. I would definitely recommend the BD-62. Easily my best COVID purchase.

I know its been 3 years, so it looks like Valor heard the concerns about the wall brakets not aligning due to garages typically having baseboards or obstructions on the bottom. I see with the new B62s the bottom bracket angles 9 inches up toward wall. Maybe that fixed the problem hopefully. Great video BTW.

Nice review! I was looking at something similar prior to settling on my lat pull down machine. My primary concern was having a stationary piece in my gym which I could not move, as well as having to bolt it to an interior wall. Not sure how something like this would have reacted with the plaster. Looks cool though, and I love the plate loaded option! Way cheaper than getting a machine with a stack, and you have the weights anyway might as well use them!👊👊

Yes, you can fit bumper plates and the spring collars will keep them in place. The pulley's do feel smooth. Maybe not as smooth as a higher end cable system you find at the gym, but very smooth. I do recommend you add some silicone lubricant to the two rods to help reduce friction as the weights move up and down.

Mine is very stiff. It has 20+ lbs of resistance when pulling both handles with NO weight on it, and when letting go the cables go back very slowly with no resistance. I've lubricated everything and the wheels spin very freely, so I'm thinking it's an issue with the cable?

When using the carabiner bracket while doing triceps .. does it feel right? Or is it better doing it only with one side ? And how heavy does it feel using the carabiner bracket with a couple of 45's as weigh. Would you do a video using the carabiner bracket for triceps?
@untappedstrength7548
@untappedstrength7548 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks man. For triceps I’d use one instead of both cables at once. It does feel smoother when only using one. Also the pulling force is cut in half when using one vs 2. So if you load 2 45’s you’d only be pulling 45 pounds. I can do a video for sure.

I know the price is already a difference of a 150USD. Also heard from a video of the Titan the pulleys are not that great, there were some with different center piece and the person that showed mad a difference from very good to poor. How are the pulleys in the BD-62? Thanks for your advice.

Are you sure that the wall mounting things aren't at the same level? Would seem ridiculous if they wouldn't be. I think it's more likely that your wall isn't straight than that the mounting things wouldn't be even. You can just check it by measuring the length of those mounting things, and if they are even, than it's your wall or the floor that isn't even.

You bring up a very good point as I've been wondering the same. I'd need a hanging scale to really test it out and provide accurate numbers. One thing is for certain, when you pull both cables simultaneously it does feel twice as heavy. So I don't know if when I load for e.g. 20 LBS and I pull one cable if it's really 20 and pulling two is 40, or if it's really 10 and two cables is the accurate amount of 20. May need to order one of those scales to put it to the test.

If you installed it correctly then you may either have defective pulleys or you over tightened them where the wheel isn’t spinning smoothly. I’d look through each one to identify any that are not spinning by hand.

Untapped Strength the wheels spinning by hand...???? Are you sure, not single one is moving by hand and I literally loosened every bolt to the point where I can just unscrew the rest of it by hand

@untappedstrength7548 3 жыл бұрын
If that's the case then yes, the pulley wheels are defective. For example, if you pull up the cable so that it's not touching the lower pulley wheel and then try to spin by hand it should spin freely. If not then I'd just call support and they'll most likely ship you a bag of pulleys.

Can you do cable flys for chest using a single arm grip attachment on each side? thinking about getting this product or the functional trainer for flys. Also Titan Fitness has similar options at a similar price

Is it true weight?
@untappedstrength7548
@untappedstrength7548 3 жыл бұрын
It is 2:1 ratio. So if you load say a total of 50 lbs, when you pull one cable handle it’s only 25lbs and both would be true weight.

Untapped Strength both were out of stock for me but I was able to backorder the Titan. Hopefully it comes by the end it next month. There's a lot more reviews on the Titan than the Valor. Quality wise (company) I think I would have preferred the Valor, even if it cost more.
