Do you even sonic blue? That is looking effin delicious!

[weisgarb]

Looks nice, and I like the color scheme. I'm interested in hearing how you like the pulldown/row combo. A cable machine is about the only thing I miss since I built a home gym (and I have neither the room nor ceiling height to make one work). My college gym had five separate selectorized cable machines (two pulldowns, one low row, a crossover, something that resembled a functional trainer chopped in half). Each one had a completely different feel to it, with the one on the Universal all-in-one monstrosity being the worst.

Are you happy with the color choices now that you see them in person?

[snova031]

That silver vein is sharp looking! Curious, how come you went plate loaded over selectorized on the lat pull?

Skinny helped me with the move.

Nice Atty, the colors look awesome. Let me know what you think of that leg ext/curl. I'm getting curious about it but got burned on the last one I bought (different brand).

[Northernmoris]

Do you even lift?
Do you use these still wrapped up?
Did Skinny eat all your Haggen Das?

WHAT'S THE STORY?

[Northernmoris]

Hope you have dental!

[SmokinJoe87]

Congrats on the new pieces, the color combo looks great. Kind of hard for me to tell on my phone, but what is the red seat pad? Stand alone bench, or does it go to another piece?

[ExJbeck]

OH wow. Looks awesome man. Really really want one of the lat machines.

[MNRider008]

That lat/low row station is INCREDIBLE. Exactly what I want. Looking at the dimensions online though... it's too tall for my space at 91.5". I wonder if they custom shave 4-5 inches off if that would severely limit range of motion?

Looking forward to seeing it all set up!

Got heeeeeem!

It's like buttah!

Yes, but I asked for and received several fabric swatches before deciding on fabric colors.

Looks good Atty! Congrats.

Thank you, brother.

Having over 2500 pounds of plates was one reason. Not wanting to pay shipping for 200-300 pounds of selectorized weight was another.

I'm doing legs tomorrow. I'll let you know.

YOLO.

What does not kill me, makes me stronger.

It is a squat bench and the color is mandarin orange, same as my three-way bench.

Buttah, I tell you. Buttah.

Pics in the coming days.

Nice pickup Atty!!!!

I'm Honcho'd of course.

I've been by legend here in Knoxville and there craftsmanship is outstanding. Looking forward to pics of the whole setup installed.

Will there be a phase III?

Nothing worse than finding you're Honcho'd. In public.

But, of course.

[Synthetickiller]

I'm really looking forward to a review of that lat pull down / seated row.
It looks like you could easily build a platform & use it as a belt squat machine as well.

Also, I want that leg extension. No, I NEED IT!


Awesome so far. Part III should be epic!

Did extensions and curls this morning. Very smooth. Really like the pillow block bearings on this machine. Very smooth. The lack of adjustment for the pads is no issue at all either. And last, but not least, the machine is very, very solid.

Awesome so far. Part III should be epic!

Bro, you know it. It'll be. . . . .

[grumpytude]

Skinny helped me with the move.

damn thats a fine shipment of stuff. l ike the colors. is that a dip attachment I see? let us know how you like it. I was thinking of picking one up. can't wait to see it all set up. congrats

[morebarbell]

Very nice! The red upholstery looks good but I bet it would look even better if it was mandarin orange.

[AttyGuy]

Thanks, man.

Doesn't get much better than that. Fantastic equipment. Frame colour is astounding - i want i want i want.

Hope you have dental!

ROFL.

[ffrink]

Skinny helped me with the move.

Equipment looks great. The color reminds me of the classic Nautilus blue!

Bet it was the easiest equipment move you've done yet.

Good luck with the training.

[swimmer32]

I just posted a review of my only piece of Legend Equipment - the Multi Press 963. It's not as sexy as the equipment already posted in this thread, but it's a nice piece.

Atty, this leg curl leg ext is awesome. After a few workouts how do you like it? I have a bodysolid glce365, cheap, light and not commercial built. The legend seems a lot better. But with plate loaded even with the Legend, on leg curls, you loose tension at the top of the range of motion. How does it feels on leg curls?

I like the machine a lot. You've identified the problem with this design, which is that the resistance is uneven throughout range of motion. The solution is to go with something with a cam that maintains even resistance, but I don't have the room or the budget for something like that. Still, I get a good workout on the machine and the falloff on resistance doesn't bother me much.

I too had the GLCE365 and before that, the GCEC340. I liked the 365 for what it was, a good and inexpensive curl/extension combo. It was light and had a lot of play, but got the job done. In the end, I didn't like the movement when operating the machine. No amount of bolt-tightening could address it. The Legend is sweet and with two pillow blocks, the movement is very smooth.

Thanks for your answer. The pad on the GLCE365 are so cheap, how are the ones of the legend unit? They look good but i would like your opinion on this?

Big and thick. Awesome. Seriously.

[alexthaman]

Big and thick. Awesome. Seriously.

congrats on the great unit! There was a legend phase 1, phase 2, will there be a phase 3? You seem to be in love with legend quality and greatness. I understand this, i own a few Atlantis pieces and i have to hold myself back so i dont change all my equipment by Atlantis equipment. When you have some top end commercial pieces (Legend, Atlantis, Hammer strength...), you really see the difference between residential units and commercial ones.

I would really like to own a Legend leg curl leg extension someday to replace my Bodysolid units. But there is also a selectorized Atlantis leg extension prone leg curl on my radar... 4200$.... I have to save a lot of money before i can own one like this.
