Solid review man! I had Body Solid's other version (the seated only for both extensions and curls).... wasn't a fan due to the stupid thing basically walked itself around while you were using it!! Lol.... this design looks much nicer!!!
Thanks 👊 yea, this thing is solid as a rock on the ground…everything is nice besides the wobbly back seat and miniature adjustments 😂, but it will get the job done 👍
Excellent review. Thanks. I was in favor for this bench, but since you revealed its flaws (for shorter people like me: 5'5), I am in doubt. Not getting a good hold on the handles is a real downer.
Thank you 😊 and yes, it’s too bad the adjustments aren’t the best. Hopefully they can come out with a better version soon…it’s definitely due for an update 👍
I like the lay down option, got my leg extension/curl for 350 though and found so much I can do with it. Good video I want to sit in this and try it now 😃
Thanks man...and $350 is such a good deal. We still use this one consistently, but the sizing of it is a downer since we got some little people in the house lol!
Hey, great review. Quick question, if you don't mind: how/where did you get this for $560? No matter where I look, this piece is ~$750. Thanks in advance!
Got mine from a Local retailer here in Texas, had a few left and did extra sale. Walmart has them for $550 but is sold out, fitnessgiant for about $600...I would sign up for Walmart in stock alert if I were u 👍
One of the most complete review I've seen so far. Very well. Congrats! By the way, what do you about de Powertc FID bench with leg extension/curl attachment?
Thanks a lot 👊 I have not tried that powertec bench, but I think quality wise it falls right in between the one I have and the hoist bench. If u need a bench as well, go with pwr tec or hoist, and if not, then the body solid will get the job done. If I didn’t have a bench already, the hoist one was very nice quality. I tried it in a store here.
Hi, thank you for this video! I was thinking about ordering this bench. Question: in the leg curls position,the padding where the torso sits is at its maximum? I mean, one thing I noticed and the thing that was making me second guess purchasing this bench is the fact that in the leg curl position it seems too horizontal, I would like it to decline a bit more. Is is possible to adjust it in order to decline more? Or, as you show in your images, is it at its maximum? Thank you!
At 3:23 it’s at its lowest, with a slight decline…it’s a nice angle for leg curls, but it does gets more wobbly in that position, so if you are shorter, it won’t work very well. If you are taller and heavier, your weight will keep the wobbling to a minimum. I wish they would release an upgrade to this piece.
Great video 👍 would you advise cable selectorised machine over this. In other words would paying 3 x the amount be less of wasting time changing plates etc over a long time period
Cable feels better and is more consistent for this type of machine for sure. So if you have the space and the money go for it 👍👌💪 the cables are not necessary at all, just feels more smooth and consistent.
Yea you add it on top of the regular one, so slide it on and secure with small hex key. Very easy. I added a rubber ring around it as you can see in video, had one laying around from a weight tree. It was about $20 I think. You have to buy it separately since it is not included in product.
Thank you 🙏 the leg extension will be no problem at all and work great. Just put a pad in the back like in the video. The hamstring curls may be a little tricky but doable. Greetings from 🇺🇸🇩🇰😊
This would be my top pick if it weren't for the lack of adjustment for people not even that short (5' 0" - 5' 5" isn't super-short!). @BodySolidFit do you have plans to change this limited range to adjust the pads to account for "shorter" people?
Yes..u may keep an eye out on fitnessgiant or Walmart, they have had very good price on this piece...availability may be a problem still...I hope u find a good deal on it 👍
It should be ok but not great. I would get it if you can return it in case it doesn’t work out. I bought it at a local store and had that option. We kept it and use it regularly 👍
Nice 'solid' review. I agree with comments that the prone shaking is a bit of a nuisance but it's non existent when I stick my chest out and head forward. For the criticisms regarding the latter portion being too easy, what I did was put some boards underneath the leg (under the head part) and this angles the machine so you get a more continuous range of motion without it slacking much towards the end. That padding is just so nice though. Plenty of times I've used it to just lay on and nap a bit.
@@zeeali2722 thank you sir for reply sir I am 5 feet 6.5 inch so I was asking during leg curl for hamstring machine shakes little bit where there is holder so can you tell how to stop that shaking and will it be confartable for me to do it?🙏
@@mrinalsingh5030 Unfortunately, a lot of people have said the same complaint, but you can reduce shaking by lying on the machine with your head up and chest out. This will keep the pad from shaking too much. Good luck
Local retailer here in North Texas had a sale, and then extra discount if you picked it up 👌👍 I hope you are able to get yours…I see good prices on Walmart and fitnessgiant…just think they are sold out atm, but keep checking 👍
@@DanesinTexas thank you for the answer man I live in Monterrey Mexico but have the possibility to buy here and direct the shipping in Hidalgo TX, today I received a quote from a local partner the told me that prices will arise on May 15 due the high prices of the steel so I will order mine on Friday but Im trying to save some money looking for one in the US but you are right this equipment is sold out in the US by now
When you do leg curls. Coming up. Can you get a good squeeze or will it flop on your butt if you bring it too far up ? Had that problem with the inspire bench.
It’s not too bad at all, I haven’t tried the inspire so can’t really compare. but if you add this band to the body solid, problem is fixed, check it out th-cam.com/video/RrsL9S7q-jk/w-d-xo.html
With home use yes...if you are rough in your gym gear then maybe not that long...I am very careful since I buy and sell a lot, so I am thinking it will last a long time. Just really wish they would fix the wobble when doing lying leg curls.
All of our products come backed by industry-leading warranties and our Built For Life guarantee so if you ever have any issues or need any parts, we will help! This piece should last you 5-10+ years easily and we've had some people use theirs for over 20 with no issues whatsoever.
I wouldn't use it as bench press. Its not that sturdy plus you cant reach the floor with your feet, since it sits up very high off the floor (to allow you to do leg extensions). I hope this helps!
It looks to me that you bought a second hand (return from a earlier buyer). Why? There is no way these scratches comes from the factory. Also i noticed that the pieces were not properly stored in the box (the protective foam rubber where also all over the place) Why did you accept it?
Good eye. You might be right and it did cross my mind briefly, but after applying a little paint that came with it and avoiding repackaging it and driving back to the store, I decided to keep it. The pads all looked brand new and untouched which was my biggest concern. Overall I am happy with it still and use it quite often.
my wife is short at only 4'11. I think we measured the bottom of her knee to the top of her foot at only 12 inches. do you think the pads for both the leg curl and extension adjust short enough for her to be able to use this?
The leg extension should be no problem on the shortest setting, and just use a pad on the back like we did in the video...now the lying hamstring curl will be a big problem imo...our daughter who is 5ft tall cannot do the leg curls comfortably. I hope this helps.
You will have no problem with the seated leg extensions, however, the leg curls laying down will be a little bit of a hassle because the machine is so long. I'm 5.11 and its good for me and I still have it on the shortest setting. My girls who are 5.2 cannot use the laying down leg extensions, its simply too long/wobbly. I would say get a seated machine instead for both exercises instead of this one that lays down for leg curls. I hope this helps.
I bought this and retuned it after 1 week. My daughter and wife could not use it properly due to the lack of pad adjustability. That alone was a deal breaker. Also, the wobblyness when doing prone leg curls was annoying and unacceptable. The holes for the pin are too big which creates the wobble. Poor engineering. Lastly, I found the machine had an uneven weight distribution throughout the range of motion. The beginning of the extension/curl starts easy, then it gets more difficult, then easy again. I tried adding bands but it was just not worth the hassle so I returned it. Good riddance! Fitness Factory returned it free of charge and even paid return shipping.
It does blow my mind that they haven’t wanted to fix the adjustments and the wobbling issues in the years and years it has been on the market. Glad FF too it back no problem. We still have it and use it every week, the girls just use the leg extension part with pad in the back, but the ham curls are a problem for them. I still like it but will look to replace down the road. Please lmk if u end up getting something similar 👍
@@BodySolidFit I own a leg press from you guys. Great product! Once you upgrade this leg-curl/leg-extention machine, I'm going to get one if I don't settle on anything in the meantime. By the way, an all black version would be neat.
That machine is almost worthless. The lower pads are too far forward reducing the range of motion. Those extra couple of inches behind the leading edge of the seat make a huge difference. As is the range of motion is limited but the stops and not by the leg.
