You're constantly having to flip the paper over to reference what the instructions are talking about. They put all of the wording on one side of the page, and a photo of all of the pieces and how they fit together on the back side. I didn't have much trouble getting it put together, but it would have gone much faster if the instructions were better. The instructions could definitely be improved. I will update the review if anything changes - but here's what I've got so far: I've only had this for a couple of days, but so far it's been good. You can solve it by just switching to single leg extensions. So if that isn't enough weight for me, I'm sure others will have this problem. But that's the most it can hold lengthwise. But being taller, this is a challengĢ-The weight post only holds 4 45 lb plates. if you are in the normal height range it will probably work fine. 2 main issuesġ- You can't adjust the height on the seat, or the length of the leg extension bar. (edit) I'm updating the review after having used the machine for a few workouts. So since the lower arm that you use to push the weight doesn't adjust up and down, it doesn't quite fit right.īut, if you are below 6'3 or so, it should work fine. The only other issue is that I'm fairly tall. However, as others have mentioned you'll need to get the adapters for the weight posts if you want to use 2 inch plates on the machine. Once that was all finished, it turned out nicely. And some are so close to others in length, that it's hard to tell. Then just say 'put green bolt here' you have to sit an measure every bolt on their sheet to make sure it's the right one. But I just don't understand why manufacturers can't put all the bolts of a same length in a bag by themselves, and/or mark the top with a drop of colored paint. The instructions for assembly look like they have been improved based on what other reviews are saying. This has been a decent addition to the home gym. I have several pieces of Body Solid gym equipment, and for the most part have had a good experience with them.
