Thanks for doing this! First video I’ve seen that actually explains If the actual machine is holding up and not just body results. And that’s what I was looking for.
Glad it was helpful! Still holding up great.
Great review. The info about the low impact on the knees is very helpful! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice job, Matt! Great follow-up!
That's all I wanted to hear . If this helps knees. I have horrible knees i can't bend them. I usually use my back
.I'm overweight for this machine but this is all I got. Was gonna take the chance. Thank you Matt.
Let us know what you think of the mahine once you try it out!
Thanks Matt, great review !
Glad you liked it!
Great Review..Thank you for Sharing..👍💪
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for your review. I’ve been interested in this machine to help provide better posture while doing squats. My cyro practitioner would probably approve this as a health alternative from free squats or heavy lifting
Ok you said knees. All I need to hear. Thank you!
Great review. I was thinking about getting this but my current apartment is small. I am wondering how easy it is to fold and put aside after each use. Thank you
I can't imagine it'd be difficult, but my DB Method is in a home gym with enough room I haven't had to break it down. I just did, and it went quite well, but that's the first time since it was assembled. I suspect strongly it would hold up well to being broken down.
As a petite woman, I find many workout machines are “not my size.” I’m def a decades long gym person, but one of the MAIN problem is reach is too far on a lot of the sitting machines and so that eventually strains my back pretty bad. I really want to purchase this but I’m seeing your reach forward and my arms are much shorter than yours. I think I’ll end up killing my back.
I'm on setting 3 and I'm 5'6"... My 4'11" son (he's 10) can use it without issue at setting 1 and my 5'3" wife at setting 2. If that helps...
@@MattsOtherChannel ok thanks! So when you adjust settings does the reach adjust too or just the chair height? Thanks - I’m going to check out your bagpipe channel- I’m Scottish too !
Thanks, I’m at 90% going to purchase DB, I know it will help w/ knees that traditional squats are hard on. Thank you 😊
@@glam1007 It extends (or retracts) the seat, and as the seat retracts in, you get both closers to the handles and the seat lowers. And I hope you enjoy the bagpipe channel! th-cam.com/users/MattWillisBagpiper
great information where do you get the weight vest ?
Thanks! The vest is a V-Max weight vest: www.weightvest.com/
Txs bro was very informative i do have knee minor want to strengthen my legs just keep.lower bottom.in strength
No problem 👍
Matt.. I'm 5ft tall..does this machine have a seat that will adjust for those of us who are vertically challenged?!😬 AND...what about booty building? Any insight or 'hind'sight on that end of things using the DB Method?
Hello! I use setting 3 out of 6 setting, so I'd think setting 1 would be perfect for someone 4'10" to 5'1" or so. As for the booty, this has largely been to replace the squat workouts I once did in the gym, but between by crackly knees and the pandemic, I've stopped going to the gym. That said, I do not appear to have lost any muscle since my old gym days using this, which is what I wanted from the machine.
Hello do you think it will fit into a semi, I need something to help me out and I feel this is a good option for being on the road.. since I have lots of time in between receiving and delivering loads
I have not had the opportunity to see the size of an inside of a semi cab, but the DB does fold up fairly small. 45.5” long x 20” wide x 7” high when folded. Weights 29.5 pounds. Hope this helps!
@@MattsOtherChannel thank you so much it’s pretty roomy so I’ll definitely purchase 😊
Did it bother your hips? Thank you for the great video.
No, it does not bother my hips, though I do not have issues with my hips. But if it's anything like my knees, this machine helps my continue to work my legs when weighted squats are now too much for my knees.
Those pulses are deadly.😅
So what's the follow up? Before and after pics? How many times a day?
It's more of a follow up on the machine than me personally. I use this to replace the squats I used to do in the gym, and as I said in the video, it was less about "seeing results" and more about keeping my strength and mobility, which it has done very well.
Hi Matt
I’m 6’6’’ tall is the machine too small for tall guys?
Hmmm. That's a good question. I a full foot shorter than you, and I'm on setting 3. It only goes to a 5, so I suspect it might be too small for a tall individual.
Does the center bar wobble a bit from left to right on your machine, or is something wrong with mine? Thanks!
Mnie wobbles a bit front to back, not really left to right. Did this since new, doesn't seem to be getting worse or interfere with the workout.
I remember hearing that it is supposed have some give so you also incorporate balance/stability while using it. I love mine!!
@@JM-is4me thank you!
WHAT ABOUT ABS? Does it help that midsection?
No, it does not target the midsection.... Some say you can do some limited upper body work with it, but I just do the legs/glutes as designed.
Do you still enjoy this machine? And what about your back and knees? I have an upper back injury so curious to know what you think. Thank you.
Still using it twice a week and it's still holding up great. My knees are starting to occasionally make a bit of crackling when on this, but still far less than any other leg workout I can do. I don't have any back injuries, so I cannot attest to how it would work in that regard...
I've had mine for two years. I had two major car accidents and permanent nerve damage in my back. At 47 yrs old and former trainer for professional athletes (NFL). It's a great buy and it has taken the pressure off my knees and no problems with my back.
@@teresaautreyexperience this is all I need to know thank you. I have knee problems and I don't know what else I can do that help me back up is this.
How about a before and after photo, and why are you
wearing long pants?
It wasn’t a video of that nature. And my legs aren’t much to look at!
@@MattsOtherChannel it’s a leg machine😂
How does this work your biceps and triceps?
It doesn't... Definitely just legs.

@@MattsOtherChannel it actually does… there are arm workouts using the seat…
I would wear gloves
to hold onto a padded handle 😆
