Best Fitness BFVK10 Vertical Knee Raise Review

Best Fitness BFVK10 Vertical Knee RaiseThe product arrived earlier than I expected, which was a plus. During the installation process, I noticed the manufacturing defect on the bottom parallel support beam (the one that connects the vertical legs). As a result, the stand is a little crooked. It's not balanced and wobbles a bit so I had to jam a piece of cardboard under it to keep the it stable. The pull-up bar is a hollow tube and feels flimsy while I'm exercising. I'm not a big guy and weigh only 160 pounds. At times, I get the uneasy feeling that the pull-up bar will bend and snap off.The rubber grips keep slipping off while doing pull-ups so I removed them and wrapped the bar with tape. Don't try performing pull-ups too fast or else this stand will tip over. This equipment stands 85 inches tall and is 24.5 inches wide. The dip handles feel sturdy, but again, try not to do it too fast or else it will tip. For the price, you can find other better equipments. I decided to get this one because the dimensions fit my home gym. I didn't pay full retail price for it since I had a gift card, still, I was expecting better quality.

Cap Barbell Xodus VKR Chin-Dip Review

Cap Barbell Xodus VKR Chin-DipI bought this piece of equipment based on my own study of this type of equipment and a bang for your buck attitude. I cannot say I am unhappy at all. I weigh around 200 pounds. I recived the apparatus and took it home. I also bought a 4x8 rubber mat for it. It was very easy to assemble and I had already looked at the engineering of it so I knew it would be stable.
I use it all the time. The dip arms could have been engineered so they would not move at all but I have it tightened up and it really isnt an issue. I would have raised the back pad and made the arms about one or two inches longer but it works fine for me. I would recommend this item for anyone up to about 220 pounds but not much more. I have a dip belt which I use to do pullups and I have put about 70 pounds on the belt and done pullups with no problems whatsoever. I am very pleased with it especially at the price. Thank You for asking.
I have used every aspect of it and it is a solid viable home workout item for people wishing to have something when they cannot get to the gym. The execises done with it are very important to all around strength in performance atheletes. So get off your butts and buy this people and quit fooling yourselves that pullups,dips,crunches and pushups are not needed to win in todays competitions of virtually every physical sport.

Stamina 1700 Power Tower Review

Stamina 1700 Power TowerMy biggest concern was if this can handle 6'3 265lbs of weight. It is sturdy. Only thing I didn't like was the pushup bars but they aren't bad but you can't go DEEP cause there is a bar that will touch your head before you get to that point. I mainly got this for pullups and leg raises anyway it's a nice addition to my home gym. Own mine now for a little over a year I didn't wanna do a review till I knew this was very solid and long lasting.
