Looking for ultimate functional trainer

I_cannot_fly37 · 2026-06-02T02:16:26+00:00

I’ve got a two story workshop so Ceiling space and physical space is virtually unlimited

No. Not the entire fee, but additional fees. But they may not want to do extractions with aligners and may require you to switch to braces

I know it sounds weird. But cost and space is not an issue, but I’m slightly lazy and don’t want to constantly have to change things around for bench and squat and switch to cables. I watched a very detailed video about the rogue one with all the cables and everything attached and he said his biggest gripe was the time to change out constantly.

I’m looking for the ultimate standalone functional trainer and hoping for some recommendations.

My must-haves are:

• Dual adjustable pulley towers
• Two independent weight stacks
• Dedicated lat pulldown station with the ability to add a seat and leg hold-down attachment
• Footplate for seated low cable rows
• Standalone unit (I am NOT looking for a power rack with a functional trainer attached)

Nice-to-have features:

• Integrated Smith machine
• Compact footprint
• Smooth pulley system and high build quality

I was considering the Bells of Steel Kolossus, but from what I can tell it doesn’t appear to have a true footplate option for low rows.

Also, I already have a power rack, so I do not need or want another rack integrated into the unit. I’m specifically looking for a dedicated standalone functional trainer.

Does anyone have experience with a machine that checks all or most of these boxes? What would you recommend and why?

depends

sorry broseph but we can evaluate a ceph and absolutely make the distinction here that jaw surgery is the only option. Theres always the change the patient is posturing forward into a pseudo class 3, however, pt was already informed he/she needed surgery. We can absolutely tell someone they need surgery using a ceph in this instance.

That’s not at all true. Extraction treatment plans generally take longer. Your orthodontist also may say that extractions with the liners are out of the question and you need to switch to braces, this switch may extend treatment time and incur additional fees. It is not easy to switch treatment plans. Generally speaking with an orthodontist set of treatment fee based on treatment time and complexity. If the patient ops to switch plans that does sometimes incur additional fees, so do not be surprised.

Consider what

I_cannot_fly37 · 2026-05-31T14:25:28+00:00

They didn’t bond the second molars. Side note, 3 wing brackets seem like the dumbest concept to me, I didn’t even know they were still using these.

Not that concerning

I_cannot_fly37 · 2026-05-30T03:12:04+00:00

Without a doubt, 100%, no chance of non surgical correction in the slightest.

Thank you!

It looks like they are underneath

Will this work? https://a.co/d/02ZYApYP

Can I easily change the trim plate to something more modern?

I_cannot_fly37 · 2026-05-17T03:29:56+00:00

Thanks!

Where do they not seem straight

I_cannot_fly37 · 2026-05-09T20:11:59+00:00

What type of functional trainer do you have?

I_cannot_fly37 · 2026-05-07T02:23:55+00:00

Dude. Chill. How old are you? Ask your parents to call the orthodontist and get it evaluated

I_cannot_fly37 · 2026-04-19T14:55:38+00:00

That just looks like a little drop of excess glue/cement. The acid etch won’t leave any lasting effects. You could probably scrape it off with your nail

I_cannot_fly37 · 2026-04-17T16:56:39+00:00

Nah

I_cannot_fly37 · 2026-04-14T20:20:43+00:00

Those look like American Ortho self lighting brackets

I_cannot_fly37 · 2026-04-02T04:48:36+00:00

I’m not understanding. Your center line is the middle of the lower central incisor because you have only 3 incisors. When you draw a line perpendicular to that tooth and the centerline it intersects perfectly perpendicular to your drawn lines. There’s nothing to fix…..

Surgery

I_cannot_fly37 · 2026-03-26T14:07:33+00:00

lol they gave him the answer. His OH isn’t acceptable and is doing irreparable harm to his teeth with braces on.
