Jones Machine
The
new Bodycraft Jones machine is a totally self contained
smith system with a twist.
It's
similar technology that's found in the Hoist PTS smith machine
and the original Max Rack 3 D smith machine.
The
basic concept on the Jones machine, is that you can perform
traditional free weight exercises in complete safety with
no need for a spotter.
The
Jones machine has built guide rods that allow simultaneous
horizontal and vertical planes of motion with a built-in
15 degree pivoting latch system, so you can rack the weight
at any time during an exercise.
The
advantage of the Jones machine as compared to a traditional
smith machine, is its' not locked into a vertical, static
plane of motion. That means you can perform any free weight
exercise in a natural motion and aren't as prone to injury.
Another
cool feature built into the Jones, is the pop pin locks
which once engaged, turn the Jones machine into a traditional
Smith machine!
If
there's a downside to the Jones machine, it's the lack of
a gun rack. If you plan on doing any type of free weight
exercises that don't involve the interior space of the rack,
you're out of luck in that department.
The
basic Jones machine comes with the rack and built-in Olympic
bar,and options include either a plate loaded lat stack
or the better 200 pound selectorized tower and you'll need
to supply you own weight bench and weights.
The
Jones machine is a nice piece of equipment that would make
a fine addition to any home gym, however It may be out of
reach for some due to its' higher (but justified) price.
