Genuinely appreciate these videos. Prepping my garage for a home gym and all your videos are helping me make a decision on more affordable quality systems. I was about to cash out on rogue but I am so glad I waited!
@@colourfulronny203 Thank you friend! I'm trying my best. I'm feeling you on going Budget friendly. I'm never going to see a reason to buy premium grade for a home gym if I don't have too. It just doesn't make a ton of sense for the kind of usage it gets if it's not in a commercial space and we can get so much more bang for our buck with a lot of the stuff that's out there. Thanks for watching!
Hey Cilla, I'm not going to speak on which brand is better because that's not fair to either as I'm in no place to talk about Brands in that way. The Mikolo M4 and RitFit PPCO3 are two different pieces of equipment as the M4 is a Smith Machine and the PPC03 is a Power Rack but if I were picking between the two I'd pick the Mikolo M4 in this case because it has dual independent weight stacks and is more robust then the power cage. A Smith Machine is also going to give you a little more bang for you buck in that you can do all of your Smith Bar work and also setup outside the Smith Machine with a Spotter Arms to do most of what you do inside a power rack.
@@UsawaFitness thank you soooo much for taking time out of your day to help me with my decision. Your response was clear and reasonable. Power to you brother. You got a new subscriber from me.
@@chrischaparro755 Honestly they are both great machines but my favorite is still the M4 at this point. It's just a little smoother but I'm not sure the M2 isn't equally as smooth because it has those Aluminum Pulleys.
Ritfit M1/M1 pro is actually made of steel construction. The M4 uses what seems like lightweight aluminum or some other alloy that is not steel for the front uprights - it’s advertised as 14 gauge steel construction but it’s not. If the M4 actually had all steel construction I think it would be more appealing. I bought the M4 and when I realized it wasn’t steel I immediately asked for a refund. (Still working on that). But I think because of that simple fact I’ll be choosing the RitFit 2.0 when this refund processes.
@@UsawaFitnessI wish I would’ve known. I simply don’t trust lightweight aluminum in this application of bearing weight, and doing dips (causing torsion) on those uprights. Mikolo says it can handle 400lbs - I don’t trust that at all.
@@KevDHernandez I get that. I pretty much used mine in a commercial environment for 18 months with no problems but the RitFit M1 is a solid option too.
@@UsawaFitness I have the M4 in my garage right now. I’ve been getting the run around from Mikolo for days. I purchased from Walmart - they had to step in. Mikolo was giving me the run around. I even had an email from Mikolo stating the front uprights are made of steel before I purchased it. Really just put a bad taste in my mouth with the machine.

@@colourfulronny203 🤣 I know right!
Love the shirt!!!
Thank you sir. 😅
You rock dude
@@highstax_xylophones 😊 Thank you!
WHICH DO YOU RECOMMEND? RITFIT M1 OR MIKOLO M4?
I recommend the one you can get the best deal on at the time of purchase. They are pretty equal in specs.
I am stuck between choosing the Mokolo M4 vs the Ritfit PPC03. Which one would you prefer and why? Which brand is better as far as quality?

@@KevDHernandez This is true the front uprights are aluminum on the M4.

@@KevDHernandez Dang, I hope you get the one you want soon so you can start getting those gains! 💪🏾
