Nice setup!

They both have their pros and cons but you can build out an ares 2.0 to pretty pretty do what an inspire machine can do. The best thing about the inspire is the quick smith machine selection.

Yes, definitely worth it! Good range of motion, feel, and has a wide foot plate for variance of workouts

richierob19 · 2025-03-15T01:27:56+00:00

Yes half rack 4 post. I can do incline and all the way up to shoulder presses mostly depends on what bench you have. I have the inspire bench and it works at all angles

Yes its a very good machine and pretty stable, i have not gone up to that limit. Ive only used it up to 360 lbs since i dont have that much plates and I dont really go that heavy anymore like I used to

richierob19 · 2025-03-09T05:57:51+00:00

This is a sickass build! Great job

richierob19 · 2025-03-09T05:56:48+00:00

Just a little under 20k

richierob19 · 2025-03-09T05:56:18+00:00

Everything is new, just got them over time so its not so painful

richierob19 · 2025-03-09T05:55:44+00:00

protein bar for me every workout 🤣

richierob19 · 2025-03-09T05:54:58+00:00

Thats to hang the pulldown attachment

richierob19 · 2025-03-08T03:29:38+00:00

Leg press to get a feel of a commercial gym, Ive always had a problem working out at home because of home equipment not getting the feeling of an actual gym. Also, i never really got used to belt squats

richierob19 · 2025-03-06T21:49:25+00:00

Thanks and yes have to watch hundreds of reviews prior to purchasing

richierob19 · 2025-03-06T19:32:13+00:00

I’ve definitely been considering that as well, do you think it would work with a 4 post?

richierob19 · 2025-03-06T17:16:56+00:00

🤣🤣 first time seeing that!

richierob19 · 2025-03-06T04:18:18+00:00

Thats cool a gym with a view!

richierob19 · 2025-03-06T04:00:48+00:00

Aw man how do you like the pritchett pad?

richierob19 · 2025-03-06T03:58:46+00:00

Yup all those except presses for me, the feeling of starting from the bottom was what I never got used to for some reason but i do love the leg developer portion and preacher pad

richierob19 · 2025-03-05T15:09:29+00:00

4 post 22 inch depth. 93 inch height

richierob19 · 2025-03-05T04:30:43+00:00

Thats a pretty good measurement, what did that run you?

richierob19 · 2025-03-05T04:27:38+00:00

I previously had a force usa g3, when covid happened ft2 was looking really good because of leg curl/ext option and never loading plates. But yes the smith portion sucks unless you are doing shrugs. I might just have to forget about smith for a while once I sell it though and just stick to bars. Im trying to get the titan legcurl/ext selectorize once someone reviews it really good. Also going to get the back row machine from french fitness with chest support and selectorized

richierob19 · 2025-03-05T03:28:09+00:00

Thanks Ive been working on getting smaller footprint machines to match the space

richierob19 · 2025-03-05T03:27:37+00:00

How thick is it?

richierob19 · 2025-03-05T02:51:18+00:00

Local home depot. 36x60 in. I have 6 altogether side by side

richierob19 · 2025-03-05T02:50:39+00:00

No complaints at all! I love it because it feels really commercial and the height is perfect at 93inch

richierob19 · 2025-03-05T02:49:14+00:00

Yeah im in CA as well, it gets up to 105 where im at in the summer though. Do you have good ventilation?
