if anyone has this York 3230 home gym and know what the problem with the butterfly press? the problem is the weights dont start to lift, or any resistence till about 3/4s of the motion, whats wrong? its like the cable may be too long, but if we tighent it then the middle part that holds the weights are lifted, can any toss a bone?

It's not a good system. Trade it in for a $2000 Parabody.

 

This coming from Hercules. Not me.

There should have been a set of shorter cables included for the butterfly press. At least there was with mine.

I changed all the cables. I used 1/16'' coated cables instead of the 1/8'' that came with the system. The 1/16'' is much more flexible and it now works really well. At first I didn't like it at all and I've noticed that the guy who sold it to me didn't install it properly.

By the way, adjusting the cables is very easy. Just use a 1/8'' sleeve (me it is 3/32'') and make a loop with the cable. I also thin that it is possible to add weight to it even if they say that we can't. I will try it if i can find other weights.

trade it for a bench, squat rack, barbell and some weights and dont worry about flyes. i know that doesnt help but its my best advice.
