New machines not heavy enough!
Readers,
the Forum as I mentioned has re-opened and is much improved except for one thing - MOST MACHINES DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH WEIGHT ON THEM! I found this out when doing leg extensions, the max setting is 13 and I can push out around 18 possibly 20 reps if i wanted to! TALE ABOUT OVERKILL! Also the seated cable row is low, max level is 20 and I can do 10 solid reps and 2 cheastish type pulls. This leaves little room for improvement. thankfully they put in a t-bar row machine just as I left this afternoon, so the cable row is sorted. But the Leg extensions is a massive bummer, I know squats and leg press are GREAT! but sometimes you just want to sit down and put a pin in and go for it - but now that is not possible. ill get used to it, also a massive disappointment is there is no pulleys for tricep pushdowns! I love this exercise and I hope they get some in soon or Ill most definitely make a suggestion and I am sure others will support it. Anyways, other then a few missing things and lighter weights on machines everything else is great, more plates, more power racks, seats and benches and better dumbbells so I cant complain to much ill just have to replace them with other exercises for the time being.
Keep posted - Kind Regards,
Robert

Hi Robert - Can you do 1 legged extensions on it?The gym i train at has weight packs to add on ; but i do 1 arm t row and 1 legged extensions and push outs. Only a suggestion but lack of weight is a prime bummer.
