Review: Oh ya.... Exactly what my back has dreamt of... - I have been dreaming of owning one of these for many years but didn't have the space and finally do so I have one. First let me say this thing is built like a tank, yes it moves a little after assembled that seems to be an intentional part of the design but it feels like it could hold a horse. They provide you everything you need tools included but I would suggest using a ratchet and socket then use one the hollow pipes they provide to slide over the Allen Wrench (to save your hands and give you more purchase on the bolt head), be careful not to over torque it though. The only thing I would really change about this would be thicker padding on the plates your hips rest on (while the padding for your legs is more than ample), it's adequate but I'm one of those people who always thinks the more padding the better and I'm usually right more padding is more comfortable, doubling the padding thickness would be most appreciated if anyone at the company reads these things. You can always just put a nice pillow on top for extra comfort. I mean it's only your Yoo-Hoo or Ho-Ho that you're putting all of your weight and force onto as you do every rep until failure, so ya... I think more padding would've been considerate. Other than that wow! I love this piece of equipment. I even discovered that I can do Reverse Hyperextensions by simply removing the padded bars. Pull the pin out and slide off the padded bar assembly then carefully put your hips on the padded plates while holding the handles lean forward then raise and lower your legs and voilá you're doing a reverse hyperextension or the French Mistake I'm not sure. This piece of equipment is a real game changer for people with bad backs and injuries. Don't forget to develop your TVA Transverse Abdominus, that will see you into old age with a better outcome even if your just doing stomach vacuums three to seven days a week, but there are other exercises that help develop your TVA too, research and learn about them if you haven't already, worth it. I would highly recommend this machine if you have the space to keep it and use it as often as your body tells you it's okay to.
Review: Works for Me - When the box arrived I was a little worried hearing things shifting around inside and the sound of metal clanking. Those worries were not soothed when I opened the box and saw how everything was either just thrown in, or shifted so much during transport. But when I started removing items and laying them out, I was surprised to find there was not a scratch or blemish on any of the metal parts. The foam ankle pads were not squished or creased, either. The only quality issue I found was a missed length of stitching on one of the pads. And the safety stickers were crooked - but that's one of my personal foibles and probably won't matter much to anyone else. Assembly instructions are not the greatest - images and numbered parts. The vacuum sealed card of bolts, nuts, and washers is not the easiest thing to work out of, so I wrote the part numbers on sticky notes, stuck them on the workbench, and put the parts beside them. Assembly was easy, took about 30 minutes. NOTE: The nuts are nylon locknuts, so they'll begin feeling tight almost immediately. Keep tightening. When putting on the ankle pads, if they seem too short and are loose on the rod, use a tool to hammer in the plastic endcaps. They go on tight and your hand may not get them seated all the way. Wear work gloves - that tiny hex wrench will dig in to your palm. I didn't have any problem with wobbliness, as some other reviewers have mentioned - all four feet were steady and level on the floor. When I climbed on board it held steady, and remained so for a handful of exercises. I had to adjust the length to the next-to-first setting to match my height. NOTE: I'm 5'6", 130 pounds - I imagine the experience may be different for taller and heavier folks. Overall I am satisfied with this equipment for home gym use, and for a person around my size. Quality seems good. Fit and finish is good. I can comfortably do a number of exercises with this machine. Price is reasonable. I'd give it 5 stars if the front pads were beefier, the ankle pads were covered in vinyl.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many levels does it have 45-90 degrees**
A: It has 4-5 available positions to alter the vertical angle.

**Q: Out of stock??  Why over a month for delivery?**
A: I assume its made overseas and is not considered essential

**Q: Will this rust if it’s left outside?**
A: It's all powder coated steel with no drain holes.  I would say yes, it would rust outside.  I would bet the crossbar screw would be the first thing to rust.  I'm sure the padding would get destroyed pretty quickly as well.

**Q: Does the padded "seat" rise?**
A: No. It keeps your center of gravity where it wants it. Change it and you could flip

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great add to my crossfit style home gym setup
*by S***T on March 13, 2021*

Assembly was straight forward. Stability - I’m 6’4” 245lbs, not a lightweight. This thing does work for the two basic GHD exercises I like to do - sit-ups and hip extensions. It’s not clanging around or anything when I’m doing my workouts, but I’m also not doing anything in a major rush. The roller pads should be thicker and wider, and the steel used could be lower gauge, but again this does the job. I do wish that the padding was better all around, but it’s a ridiculously affordable piece of equipment and an easy quick add to my home gym. I am glad I opted out of the much more expensive top of the line $800 GHD machine and got this from CAP. I can save up for an expensive piece of equipment while I continue to strengthen myself.
