Bowflex Xceed Home Gym | A Full Complement of Workout Options

by

The Bowflex Xceed is a compact home gym that fully complements exercises to work every part of your body. It gives you a total of 65+ exercises, which puts the Xceed at the mid-point level when it comes to the Bowflex range.

The Xceed provides a maximum resistance of 210 pounds through the unique Bowflex power rod system. The system is upgradeable to 310 and 410 pounds. However, the resistance provided by the power rod system is not quite the same as that using free weights.

The sixty-five exercises you can do on this machine include all the standard moves you’d expect to see in a commercial gym, including squats, bench presses (vertical), and deadlifts. In addition, the cable system provides you with a high and low cable attachment to work your muscles from various angles.

The Bowflex Xceed provides a full complement of workout options in a compact space and utilizes a proven, safe, and reliable resistance system. In addition, it is a very stylish, well-constructed machine that is robust yet flexible. Of all the Bowflex home gyms, this is my #1 recommendation.

Powerline PFT100 Functional Trainer | Train The Way You Move

by

The Powerline PFT100 Functional Trainer by Body-Solid is a budget-friendly home unit that offers the same exercise variety and flexibility as the cable machines you find at your local gym. In addition, this trainer has dual-weight stacks, fully adjustable pulleys, and a pull-up bar.

The PFT100 has a durable steel frame. It consists of 2 independent towers that connect through the rear and a straight pull-up bar in the front. Each tower has its own 160 lb weight stack with its pulley. Therefore, you can do exercises using only one pulley (tricep extensions) and activities using both simultaneously (cable crossovers).

Remember that the pulleys give you a mechanical advantage- meaning that 160 lb doesn’t feel like 160 lb when lifted on the pulley system. It’s at a 2:1 ratio, so 160 lb on this system is only 80 lb of resistance, which is typical for functional trainers.

Each pulley on the PFT100 is fully adjustable vertically, allowing you to choose any 1 of 20 different starting positions (the positions are spaced out 3.2″ from each other). With this many positions, you shouldn’t have problems performing any exercise comfortably.
