Gold's Gym XR30, Any info?
I acquired this piece of equipment about a year ago for free from a guy who wanted to get rid of it for a new system. This was when I first started working out and had no knowledge of anything whatsoever. Unfortunately, it's actually been sitting in my basement in pieces since I got it. Does anyone know anything about the Gold's Gym XR30? I'd love to have an instruction manual or something since I have no idea how to put it together.
It has a great adjustable Olympic bench, a leg developer, a pulley system, a lat pulldown bar, a squat rack and a safety spotting system. Basically an all in one machine. I think it's time that I take my workouts to the next level and an important step of that would be to assemble this piece of sh*t. Apparently it's about 10 years old and worth over $500 dollars new. So... any help?

Best advice. Since it was free, try to sell it for $200 and buy decent equipment.

It is entry level low end equipment so if you can sell and get some used good equipment you will come out win/win.Originally Posted by HamstringKing
I sell home and commercial fitness equipment, so if you have questions on equipment PM me and I will help.

I agree. If you sold it for scrap it could potentially be recycled into something decent.Originally Posted by HamstringKing

...as evidenced by its 90 day warranty. even the manufacturer knows its far less than decent.Originally Posted by HamstringKing
i concur with the advice to sell it."ive made the most impressive gains when i spent months with the heavy dumbbells and left the power rack cowering in the corner like the b**ch that it is"-anonymous

You got it free. It is not worth $500, new or used. Sell it. Buy a used weight set. You will be ahead of the game.
You need a good rack, a bench, and a 300-lb Olympic weight set. Now, what was your question?
