Moosebunk Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 It's not a good system. Trade it in for a $2000 Parabody. This coming from Hercules. Not me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 There should have been a set of shorter cables included for the butterfly press. At least there was with mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bogoy Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 yeah ive heard, do u know how i can get a shorter cable or shorten it myself? and how bout the maxium resistence cable, how do u adjust that, says its max can be 160lbs or so 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raf Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
