PowerLine PSM144X Smith Machine Review

This is not a good machine if you can lift any substantial amounts of weight. It's a little unstable. The hooks that lock into the holes so you can spot yourself don't always line up very well and that kind of sucks when you've just tired yourself out and you want to rack it but you can't...

Product Description
A true powerhouse that's often imitated but never duplicated, the PowerLine PSM144X Smith Machine combines the sophistication of free weight power and resistance with the safety and control of a machine. The unit is ideal for everything from squats to bench presses to shoulder shrugs, with PowerLine's patented Super-Glide carriage riding smoothly within the four 2-by-2-inch, 12-gauge steel pillars. Once you load on the weights, the bar lifts and lowers in a controlled manner, so you needn't worry about losing your balance during a lift or loading on more weight than you can handle. The machine also offers 14 lockout positions and adjustable safeties to guarantee the lifter's security while helping him or her strive for greater muscle gains. Other details include spotter extensions for when you're working out alone and a scratch- and rust-resistant, powder-coated finish. The Smith Machine measures 76 by 80 by 45 inches (W x H x D) and carries a 10-year warranty on the frame and a one-year warranty on all other parts.

PowerLine Ab Crunch Bench / Machine Review

The bench is decent, I can't say its a sweet deal but for the amount of money you are paying, I guess you aren't being ripped off either.there is no installation manual so you have to put it together based on the exploded diagram. also the way the machine is made, for those people of shorter stature, the back and bottom are very uncomfortable. The straps dont come down very far and when you try to do tricep exercises, its easy to hit your head.on the positive side, even though it is uncomfortable, this machine does give you a good ab/tri workout.

Product Description
You have never felt full abdominal range of motion like this. The new Leverage Ab Bench from Body-Solid delivers six-pack abs and well-developed obliques like no other machine!

Powerline PLA200X Lat Attachment for use with PPR200X Power Rack Review

This tower is a great addition to my power rack. The ability to add pull downs and rows adds an incredible amount of diversity to my workout. I have 2 complaints that keep me from giving it 5 stars:

1. The weight holder/bar is standard size (not Olympic). It can still hold Olympic sized plates, but I am worried it may be too much weight.

2. The row & lat bar attachments look & feel cheap. The god thing is that they are easily replaced.

Product Description
Plate Load Lat Attachment. The Plate Load carriage on this Lat Attachment features 1" diameter weight posts that will accommodate Standard or Olympic Weight Plates. Transform your Body Solid Power Rack into a multi workout machine. This Lat Attachment will help you build a wider, beefier Back and stronger and bigger Biceps and Triceps.

PowerLine PPB32X Preacher Curl Bench Review

The overall construction is not bad, however, two key pieces are of lower quality than they should be.The seat and arm rest, which support all your effort/weight, are made out of wood.

When using this bench, I heard a creaking sound of wood already.I wonderhow long it will last before the wood gives way.I like to lift heavy weight with my arms, so it is not ideal for me.

If you are serious about gaining big mass in your arms,you are better off spending the money buying a more sturdy and more serious preacher curl bench.This particular product is only for the casual user that is just trying to get a light toning in the arms or just get a light work out.

In trying to achieve serious mass on your arms, you can break this product, and get injured in the process.


Product Description
There's no question that the best exercise for building thick, crowned biceps is the bicep curl. Enter the PowerLine PPB32X preacher curl bench, which isolates the muscles effectively to eliminate cheating and minimize elbow stress. The bench is made of heavy-gauge steel, with an extra-wide, adjustable seat for comfort and cushioned arm pads to protect the elbow joints. The electrostatically applied powder-coated finish, meanwhile, helps the bench hold up to heavy use through the years. Also boasting a weight capacity of 300 pounds, the PPB32X measures 36 by 37 by 33 inches (W x H x D), weighs 42 pounds, and carries a 10-year warranty on the frame and a one-year warranty on all other parts.

PowerLine PSS60X Squat Rack Review

Very solid- easy to assemble. Arrived quickly. I didn't realize that I needed a larger barbell however. You need 45" between the plates for it to fit on this rack. I found one on Amazon, a 7' barbell, but now I have to spend another 50 bucks for that.

Product Description
The PowerLine PSS60X squat rack is designed to hold a weight bar safely and securely even when loaded with the heaviest of weights, making it ideal for performing flat, incline, and decline bench presses, squats, curls, upright rows, shoulder shrugs, calf raises, and more. The bar supports are fully adjustable--from 30 to 60 inches--giving you plenty of height options depending on the exercise. In addition, the 2-by-2-inch, heavy-gauge steel frame offers an extra-wide and deep base for maximum stability. An ideal accessory for casual and serious weightlifters, the squat rack measures 48 by 37 by 30 inches (W x H x D), weighs 51 pounds, and carries a 10-year warranty on the frame and a one-year warranty on all other parts.

This is a well built home gym. I really enjoy it. However, the gym does come in 7 boxes strapped to a pallet.The numbers in the instruction book do not correspond to the hardware numbers so it is a guessing game.Allow at least 7-8 hours to put this thing together.

Powerline P1X Single Stack Home Gym Review

Sent to my home with 18 wheel semi?!? Couldn't get down my 600' driveway so I had to haul from the road to my house.Various errors in the assembly instructions.Text did not match pictures multiple times.Not too difficult to figure out their errors however and put together in about 2-3 hours.Upper, main cable that attaches to the weights is very taught, may be by design, but I have to push down on the top weight to move the pin to a different weight selection. May stretch a little once I work with it.Not much time to work with it yet, but appears worth the money in initial value.I am considering purchasing the leg press in future.

Powerline BSG10X Home Gym, Short Assembly, 160lb Weight Stack Review

I've had this home gym for a few months now and am finally submitting a review.I wanted to put some miles on it as well as see if the novelty would wear off before rating.Overall, I am still very satisfied and thrilled with the purchase.It's been worth every penny not having to spend money on gym memberships, time, and gas (which = more $).

I did alot of comparisons before and after the purchase.I can honestly say - for the value, quality, versatility, and convenience - you just can't beat it.

I chose this gym for the following main reasons:
1. Well built.
2. Comes with most of the main components (especially cables) already assembled.You will need a helping hand to lift, move and hold a section or two while you fasten them together.My 10 year old son was perfect for the job.
3. Most versatile - in terms of types of exercises (especially when you get creative and add certain attachments to it). Fully adjustable for fit and comfortability.
4. Iron stack (not cement blocks).Plus you can purchase and add more weight to the standard 160lbs that come with it.
5. Relatively small footprint.I had a leverage bench press machine (used only for chest exercises) that took up more space than this gym that practically works out your whole body.
6. Much easier than adding and removing free weight plates when changing exercises.On this machine it's a matter of pulling and setting a couple of pins and clips and jumping right to the next workout.No lagging!Because of the ease resulting from the clever design, I find that it's more fun and addictive to use.
7. Looks a lot nicer than most home gyms.
8. Allows me to be home with my family after work and still get in a great workout.

My friends love it and always get on it when they're visiting.

Recommend if:
You want to stay healthy, develop strength, stamina and endurance, build toned muscle, and have a good physical appearance.

Bottom line is:I LOVE IT; I'm glad I got it, and would recommend it without hesitation.It's a home gym and a great quality home gym.Don't expect a super-heavy-duty industrial-grade one-excercise-specific piece of commercial-gym equipment.

PS>Instead of a $79 rubber mat, I bought a $15 six-piece foam puzzle mat set to put under it; and works just fine!Put money saved towards other fun attachments - like the rope attachment for tricep pulldowns!

Powerline PHYP200X 45 Degree Hyperextension Bench Review

Nice, sturdy quality unit and fairly easy to assemble.Much better than a cheaper one I purchased that collapsed on me, so worth the extra money.(I'm 260# and have no problems or concerns with this unit capacity-wise.)My only complaint is that the "handlebars" are too close together, and I have to concentrate on missing them.Six inches further apart would be nice.If you're average-sized or smaller, you shouldn't have a problem.

Strengthen your lower back safely and comfortably on the strongest 45 Hyper available.

Powerline PAB21X Ab Bench Review

I am very pleased with the Powerline Ab bench and would give it 5 stars if the steel was slightly heavier (not needed, but I guess I'm picky). The item was fairly easy to assemble and very intuitive to use. The back rest is adjustable and quickly slides up and down the rear support after loosening a thumbscrew. The back pad is VERY firm, yet comfortable. My 4 year-old son who weighs 45 lbs was jumping up and down on it before it was assembled and didn't even dent it. The curve felt quite natural and even comfortable on my back.
The handholds on the strap seem very sturdy and the strap itself seems to support the back of the head when doing the exercises. The pully is very strong and rolls quite smoothly.
I've loaded it up with 100 lbs for this workout using 25 lb plates (it holds both standard and olympic quite well) and felt no strain or give in the device (in me, well that's another story). One rep on the ab bench felt like 25 on the floor. I am a competitive powerlifter and am very happy to see that the ab bench can take some weight.
I am extremely happy with my purchase and wish I had made it earlier. I definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for greater core strength or has back problems that hinder their attempts at doing other abdominal exercises.

Product Description
PowerLine Ab Bench. You've never felt full abdominal range of motion like this. The new Leverage Ab Bench from Body Solid delivers six pack abs and well developed obliques like no other machine.
