So I just purchased this and have done a couple workouts with it. It is a great value for what it costs, and I believe this is targeted at newbies like me or maybe if you're sick of lunks at the gym lol.
Pros: Compact size means it fits pretty much anywhere. Solid enough assembly and easy to assemble. Comes with enough weights to get you started.
Cons: Well, for one the box it came in was badly damaged during transport (I assume) but with 150 pounds of stuff it's gonna get dinged up. One of the 25lbs weights had damage on the edge of it but it's a weight and I don't really mind that. I'm 5'7 and it is a good fit but I think bigger folk will want something bigger. The barbell… well it's short for a barbell so you need to be pretty precise when returning it to the holder. also, you need to be careful when switching weights as the bar's weight is not enough to support just one 25lb weight so you'll have to hold the bar in place while getting another weight on one side. (being Goro helps a lot here) Also, if you plan on using the barbell for weighted squats, depending on how much weight you use, you may have to sit on the bench (completely lower the backrest to decline position) to get the barbell onto your shoulders, then kind of lift it off, swing leg over and move to start your squats. Taller people might find this a pain imo.
Bottom line? I like this set. For what I paid, I got a nice little training set that will help me with my workouts and progressive overload. I can replace the barbell later on when I outgrow this one. Also like the leg developer. Would recommend!
