Don't get hung up on which is spring 1 or spring 2. Both springs are identical so just go by the spring position and look it up in the chart. On my chart for example, positions 1 & 3 gives the same...

I have an Ivanko which I believe is similar. With both springs in the lowest position (near the pivot point), the first spring is in position 1 and the second is in position 3. This results in 45...

Some great ideas in this thread. I decided to try the approach described by befatfree using chains and I can report that it works great. I did do a few things differently however. First, I used...

I had a similar experience not too long ago when my urine test showed high albumin levels so as a result, my Dr. had me take a 24 hour collection test. I read that vigorous exercise can cause...

Yukon Fitness sells a dip attachment that looks similar.

There's also a guy on ebay selling a similar one but...

There was a similar discussion regarding the Powertec leverage machines which may apply to your question. Check out the following post:

I agree. Not to knock Powertec but for the extra $100, I'd go for Tuff Stuff.

BTW, they used to have dip handles for the TPR-265. Not sure if they're still available though.

Here are a few views of the older TPR-265. I believe that it was orignally available in white and then later in gray. The Tuff Stuff equipment that I have seen has been of excellent quality but you...

Yes, that's a very good point. Their "ST" line is not as sturdy as the "KF" equipment. For instance, the KF-FID is rated for 650 lbs while the ST-FID is rated for 400 lbs. I have the older KPS-FID...

I have a Keys half cage and FID bench which I have owned for just over 2 years. I have not had any problems with their equipment and it has served me well so far.

I am also in an apartment and have a rack in my second bedroom. Since the room is only 10'X9', I opted to go with a half cage with gun racks on the front rails and I oriented it diagonally to give...

I also suffer from lower back problems. The only regular squats that I can do are with light weights and high reps. Recently I have been using the super squats hip belt from Ironmind and although...

These look interesting too although I've never used them myself.

That makes sense. Thanks.

It's hard to tell but I think you're correct regarding the starting position. I don't see anything in the assembly diagrams that resembles a latching mechanism that would lock the machine in a...

For those interested, here are links to the product sheet and owners/assembly manual for this machine:

I've looked at that item as well. It appears to be very similar to this one from Yukon Fitness:

It may be fine...

It hasn't been a problem for me so far. When you consider that most racks are roughly 48" wide with 2" tubing, the most you can expect to get is 43-44" of usable space on a smith bar.
