    I just bought one that was barely used from a guy and it is awesome. Pics of my home gym are in my profile if you want to see.

    hey redz

    i dont think thats the same one but ive seen that one also. heard it was pretty good except for the rollers coming off the track alil when hacking.

    have you had that issue?

    the guy said it didnt mess up the machine or movement, it was just destracting.

    also have you had any issues with the plates touching anything (ground, frame rails) when doing deep presses. it looks like that might be an issue but i cant really tell.

    also how much weight can you fit on that sled, i think i read 1000lbs but thats using 100 plates, and i dont wanna spend more $ on weight if i dont have too.

    sorry for the interogation, just dont wanna get fcked with something that i dont like or is gonna fall apart on me.

    Thanks bro.

    I don`t think its even possible for the rollers to come off on mine, the bearings are smooth but it is a tight fit. Everything clears with the weights even on deep movements. Mine can hold 16 or 18 45lb plates. I guess I`ll get a few heavier plates if I have too lol.

    ive used one and personaly dont really like it, since i find the angle a little annoying, but i also dont like using smith machines either

    i always found normal machine squats and 45 degree leg press alot better

    however i know few people who love this machine, so i guess its what ur comfortable with,

    i guess best way is to try the machine out and see if your comfortable working out on it, if you find u can train hard on it then it be a great edition to ur leg workouts
