Pros & Cons
Pros
The md-9010g is an unbeatable value if you can get it for msrp of about $1,050. Ordered this because of the covid 19 pandemic going on in our country right now. The machine is very sturdy and built well. Once together the machine is sturdy, smith rack... Read More
The back weight rack runs very smoothly after spraying a little silicone on the bar it slides on. The barbell rides very smoothly on the track with minimal to no wobble. The range of motion is good and the bar travels smoothly.
The stand is very solid, min vibration-for bench press bar with 200 to 250lbs. The finish and cushions are very nice and appealing. I'm over my initial irritation with the assembly.
The nuts/bolts/washers are shrink-wrapped to 3 or 4 cardboard sheets and numbered. We make sure every nut and washer were in place and tighten. Each bolt is individually numbered.
Cons
Initial review right out of the box is two thumbs down! The material used for the padded areas seems like it won't last long. The company they use is terrible and you won't get it in time. It’s mediocre at best.
The bar rides up an down on guides which prevents natural movement and will get you injured. The bench is kind of skewed. Pulleys work ok but lat pull down is awkward. The weight for the pulley system slides up and down on a square chrome shaft/beam.
Parts in side were dinged, chipped, and scratched. Water and a white chalky powder everywhere inside and all over the parts. Numerous chips and gouges and a couple really rusted parts as well.
Putting this thing together is a time consuming nightmare. Horrible directions. It takes a lot of work to get setup.

The actual frame is solid and the attachements are high quality but the essential part was the pulley system for me no point of... Read More
Price
If you like to lift free weights have the space for it in your home and can afford the price tag i highly recommend it
Lots of price gouging going on with free weights online—you definitely do not need to pay 800900
Packaging/appearance
The instructions were easy to follow and the packaging was good
So when you open the box’s it’s very overwhelming but it comes with very detailed instructions and every bolt is labeled clearl... Read More
Competitiveness
Then i used a carabineer clip in the middle and connected the pull down bar and i had a more stable pull down machine
Def get a 17mm or 58 ratchet
I suggest customers buy an olympic 300lb free wight set

The pulley system has a design flaw and produces no weight resistance on withdrawal this is catastrophic for building any kind of muscle mass

The actual frame is solid and the attachements are high quality but the essential part was the pulley system for me no point of paying premium and getting garbage

The instructions were easy to follow and put this together but 40 percent items were not labeled and you must figure it out yourself
