The Mirafit Pulley system consists of two pulleys attached to a metal frame. The frame is adjustable to fit different heights, and the pulleys can be moved up and down to adjust the height of the exercise. The system comes with an instructional booklet that contains a variety of exercises that can be done with the pulleys. This type of weight training cage is prepared for a much more demanding use than the previous one. It supports heavier loads and has higher quality anchors. After some research, i went for Bodymax ctx5. There is no perfect machine so it comes down to having least inconviniences. Other machines had either not enough weight attached, or cables were in the way, or so many other bad design faults.

If you’re looking to use your power cage for bench pressing (flat or incline), it’s important to note that some cable systems may restrict you when positioning your weight bench – depending on what type of bench you have. Many lat pull down machines come with both high and low pulleys meaning they can be used for a range of other exercises such as seated rows and arm exercises. Some even have built in foot plates to assist when rowing. Functional trainers work by having cables that feed through pulleys and attach to weights. As you pull on these cables, the weights provide resistance to the movement and help to promote muscle growth. You can use them on a daily basis for personal training or even several people in the family can use them. However, they are not designed to withstand long professional days involving several hours of use every day. It is a very good buy if you want to grow as an athlete and be able to continue using it when you are doing more demanding routines.There could be some reliability concerns when the weight limit of the product is only 300 pounds. You could find that to be too low to reliably use the product. The Marcy Smith Machine Cage System allows you to hit each muscle group thoroughly, so there shouldn’t be any versatility concerns. It even comes with a landmine press attachment, but the barbell system is a smith machine. So, if you’re into using free weights, that is something to consider. Fractional and Change Plates – fractional and change plates are smaller weight plates which allow you to build up your training bit-by-bit. Especially useful if you’ve started to hit a plateau in your training. Not just for squats, you can use them for bench presses and curls too. As mentioned earlier, the product does come with a lot of extra safety and stability features to protect you and your floor. While the cage is sturdy enough to handle a lot of poundage before showing any signs of breaking down. Cable crossover machines have two separate handles, allowing you to work each side of your body independently or using both handles at once for exercises such as cable chest flyes. These are generally more popular in gyms and commercial environments as they offer a great range of workout exercises but have a larger footprint.

Pin squats are particularly useful when working up to your next weight load. For these, you’ll need to set your spotter bars much higher so that the weight bar rests on them when you’re half way down into your squat. Anyone who wants a wider cable distance for more of a cable crossover feel. The pulleys are only 48 inches apart making it harder for those with longer arms to do crossover type movements. The CTX5 comes equipped with an in-built pull-up station, which can be used with a variety of grip types, allowing you to work different muscles and vary the difficulty. From wide grip to angled chin-ups, the pull-up station is extremely versatile. The rubber sleeves provide a comfortable, secure grip, and there’s even a ring mount which can be used for suspension training. The multi-grip pull-up station is rated at 350kg. Also built-in to the frame are storage pegs and slots for weight plates and barbells, which help keep your gym space tidy, safe, and saves time in your workouts. Attachments to enhance and vary your CTX5 include: a rotational core trainer attachment, barbell row, ab crunch attachment, lat pulldown bar, and a straight double-ended bar. These attachments add even more exercises to the already-versatile machine, and give you control over your training. A multi-grip dip station enables you to perform bodyweight dips, helping build chest, shoulders and triceps. For those seeking guidance or inspiration, a workout chart is fitted to the CTX5, featuring 18 different exercises. Lifters who aren’t sure about what attachments they want. You can add a ton of variety with the different attachments over time here rather than all at once.The spotter bars should be set at a height that’s a couple of inches above your chest. However, make sure it’s at a relevant height to the type of bench presses that you’re doing. Basically, you want the spotter bars to catch the bar should you fail – without the bar falling onto you. So, whether you’re doing incline, flat or decline presses, make sure the safety bars are doing their job. Trainees who want a lot of plate storage. You can get plate storage, but it’s more limited than other options on this list. Overall, I was impressed with how easy it was to set up and use the Mirafit Pulley system. Use: What can you use the Mirafit Pulley system for? The spotter bars should be around an inch below your fail height. You don’t need a loaded bar to find out what this is. Just use the bar on its own, or even a lighter bar, just so you can see where your natural squat ends. The spotter bars will catch the bar should you fail or simply need to drop the bar. Make sure they’re secured properly before you squat and that they are both at the same height
