Hoist
Smith Machine
Hoist
has a great smith machine with their new PTS system that,
in my opinion is the best on the market, but you will have
to cough up a substantial amout of cash to get one.
The
appeal of the new Hoist smith machine is the dual action
system that allows full free range of movement for any exercise,
yet still allows the safety and peace of mind of a traditional
smith machine.
There
are also two gun racks on the frame so you can rack the
smith bar on either side of the cage, or use the gun racks
for traditional free weight exercises like bench press,
curls, shoulder presses, rows and squats.
Hoist
didn't cut any corners when they made the PTS, everything
is top of the line. The frame and components are as nice
as you'll find on any home gym equipment with flawless
fit and finish - even the bar rack is nickel plated!
One
of the appeals of the hoist smith machine is the ability
to add pieces to it as your budget and needs change.
You
can get the basic dual action smith machine cage for about
$1999 that is a great gym in its' own right, and then add
the 200 pound lat tower with low row and calf block, and
to top it off you can add (2) 150 shrouded cable cross over
stacks onto the front of the machine that rival anything
you're libel to come across in the health club.
To
top off an oustanding smith system, Hoist has the best attachments
I've even come across, they're thicker handled, light weight
aluminum with a super smooth bearing system.
I
like the Hoist attachments so much, I replaced the attachments
on my Parabody
Smith Machine with the Hoist models, even though I had
to beg Hoist to sell them to me and, they cost $129 bucks
for the lat bar and short bar together!
The
only downside to the Hoist Smith Machine is the price, and
the fact that it's only available through local dealers,
but if you're serious about strength training it's worth
the extra money to upgrade to the Hoist Smith Machine.
