*PLEASE READ in its entirety. I provide great information to inform you* :::SHIPPING::: I have Prime shipping. I ordered it on a Friday and received two boxes on the following Wednesday and the third box on Thursday. All boxes were in excellent condition as well as all the pieces inside. So when the UPS person brings you the first two boxes just let the driver know that a third box must arrive the following day (they are labled 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3). :::ASSEMBLY::: -Manual for assembly: to download it just google "Powerline Cable Crossover Machine PCCO90X manual" and you'll get the PDF. It comes with the equipment but I recommend that while you wait that you read the entire manual so that when your product arrives you are already familiar with the pieces and steps. The way the instructions are written takes a bit of time to get used to but once you get used to it the instructions will be very clear to you. -Don't worry that the manual is long and that there are lots of instructions. Once you read them once or twice and see the parts for yourself you'll see that assembly is very easy. -If you're buying this also for triceps and biceps, then I recommend: Champion Cable Attachment Package Pack . I got them and they are of excellent quality and love them! -No tool is provided. But I assembled the entire thing with just my hands. After all is assembled you need a Socket Wrench to tighten up the 14 lock nuts that hold the whole thing together and six more (one for each pully). -After I assembled the whole thing and saw the complete product with my own eyes I am not impressed with the quality of the product, especially with the cables - they are made of plastic and look cheap. The whole thing looks cheap. This product sells on Amazon for $409 (+$36 tax) now on 5/4/2013, so it must have cost the manufacturing company about $120 at most to make. That's right. This product cost them ~$120 to make, and they sell it for $409. This applies to every product ever made by any company (cars, computers, etc.). This is how business works. So now you know that you are in fact getting a cheap piece of equipment. I took a couple business and economics classes in college so take my word for it. Low manufacturing cost and big profit is what drives business. But the equipment looks nice and I love it! -Assembly was very easy and even if the instructions are only ~90% clear, the other 10% can be figured out by common sense. -Whenever you install a pully holder or mid pully holder during assembly, do not tighten up the lock nuts because at the very end of assembly (Steps 5A-C) you'll be inserting and routing the cables so the pullies will have to be taken out real quick to do that (very easy). -Step 2B: you'll need a wrench extension for those two lock nuts. If you don't have it then they won't fall of until maybe an hour of exercise. -The leg attachment (thing that wraps around leg) is actually pretty good. The thing looks very cheap and it looks like it won't work but when I tried it, it actually worked really well! I tried it for the hamstrings and quads and it worked! -Step 2D: IMPORTANT - here the instructions forgot to mention to first apply silicon spray on the Vertical Frames BEFORE attempting to slide down the assembled Weight Frame. So do not forget to do this! Otherwise you'll have to literally hammer it down to slide! That's what I did until I realized I needed to apply silicon spray... It was so frustrating and I even thought I must have gotten defective parts (wrong size)! So I have warned you of step 2D. -IMPORTANT: After you finish assembly and you test the product you'll notice that it is not smooth at all and that the Weight Frames simply stick to the vertical frames and don't go down. This just means that you have to apply silicon spray but only on your personal "range" of the vertical frames that the weight frames will use. After the silicon spray, they'll be extremely smooth! This step is also NOT on the instructions but it's common sense. -99% of the assembly can be done by one person. The only exception is step 3A-3B - here's where you attach the long cross beam to the two tall vertical frames. -Took me a couple hours to do the entire assembly since the instructions were not worded well and it was my first time with this product. Now that I've done it once, if I had to do it again it would take me maybe ~30 minutes. -I also own PowerLine PPR200X Power Rack (for squats and safe bench pressing) from this company and I tell you from experience that if you are not careful when you put the weight plates on the holding bars that the paint will come off. With the power rack I just put strong tape on the bars to prevent this so you can either always be extremely careful or just wrap strong tape around the bars to prevent paint from falling off when you take out the weight plates over time. This product does come with a tiny bottle of paint in case you need to re-paint it a bit. -This piece of equipment is fully stable and sturdy after all bolts have been tightened up AND the two bases are properly wide apart. If they are not enough apart then the equipment won't be sturdy so distance is important here! -My non-olympic weight plates fit perfectly. -It came with two crossover handles (they feel very comfortable). -If you do decide to get the Champion Cable Attachment Package Pack, then I highly recommend getting two extra links (at any local store near where you live) or on Amazon: 100mm x 10mm Zinc-Galvanized Steel Carabiner Snap Link Hook - 3-3/4" x 3/8" (weight limit of each 100mm link = 500lbs, total = $7.38 including shipping for two) because this way you can leave four of the five attachments connected to the equipment at all times and the other can just be left hanging on it too. Or else with just the two links that come with this equipment you'll have the three attachments left unattached which can be VERY annoying. -Lat exercises should also technically be possible with this if the attachment is bought and you use your own chair, and even rowing is also technically doable with this equipment. :::WORKOUT::: Very smooth! It is a pleasure to finally own my own! I tried cable crossovers, triceps pull-downs, bicep curls, and leg extensions (for hamstrings and quads).

I bought this for two reasons it's a heck of a lot cheaper then ANY other cable cross over machine, and I devised a way that I could hook up the PCCO90X up to my bowflex so i could use real weight instead if the resistance rods. Others have mentioned that the instructions are not very clear, they are just an exploded drawing of the PCCO90X with poorly labeled markings. my advice to you organize your parts and label them. Then start construction from the ground up. It is not a complicated machine, and anyone who has built anything before in their lifetime should not have any real difficulty. Pros: a large variety of exercises can be preformed to work most muscle groups plenty of add-ons to make a versatile work out machine very stable machine when used from correct angles cables are rated to support up to 360# on each side using cables to work out will work stabilizer muscles that most other machines won't work. basically that means more real world strength faster Cons: parts are made in china, and the paint that comes for touch ups appears to be lead based so don't lick the machine. when the lower cable is pulled horizontally it will pull the legs of the PCCO90X in so that the machine will look like a trapezoid I saw this at about 120# being pulled upwards at a 35 deg angle I added and L brace near to the corner braces at the top to prevent it from happening it has held up to 160# per side Due to how the pulley system works you will lose about 40% (38.46% according to my measurements) of the weight that is actually put on to the machine. so you put 100# on it you are only actually lifting 60# does not come with weight so be prepared to buy them standard iron weights will run about 1USD per pound (if you shop smartly.) I had 100# of standard weights already but I needed to buy and additional 120# and I will need to buy some more soon Summary: All that being said, I have seen some great improvements in my performance at the gym as real weight gives much more even resistance the the power rods that I had perviously used. I was able to make modifications to the machine to make it more versatile and stable. With this machine my home gym is now complete and I can do almost any exercise in my house that I can do at my gym. I now only go to the gym for the social aspect of it.

Attrezzo fantastico, ha una solidità sorprendente e da una buona senzazione anche sulla durabilità che potrà avere, il montaggio è davvero semplice (nonostante le istruzioni only english) nelle scatole era presente un lubrificante siliconico (apprantemente migliore del wd 40 per questo scopo) che uso sulla barra cromata su cui scorre il "reggi pesi" mentre per bulloni e pulegge ho usato un grasso normalissimo. Per ora non si è reso minimamente necessario zavorrate le basi come credevo inizialmente tutti i test fatti sulla solidità hanno dato risultati più che positivi. Lo consiglio vivamente, l unico neo di questo attrezzo è il prezzo che comunque è molto buono se comparato a macchinari di un livello simile.

Received 3 weeks earlier than scheduled. Pretty easy assembly. Very sturdy and cable motion is very smooth. Building home gym after decades at a gym and this was the perfect addition. Highly recommended- you can perform so many exercises with this machine.

Nachdem ich die Maschine für einige Zeit genutzt hatte, bemerkte ich, dass sie anfing zu rosten. Dies war enttäuschend, da ich erwartet hatte, dass das Gerät langlebig und korrosionsbeständig ist. Der Rost beeinträchtigte nicht nur die Ästhetik, sondern auch die Funktionalität des Kabelzugturms. Zusätzlich zur Rostproblematik stellte ich auch fest, dass die allgemeine Qualität und Verarbeitung des Geräts nicht zufriedenstellend waren. Es gab Unregelmäßigkeiten und Schwächen an einigen Stellen, die Zweifel an der Haltbarkeit aufkommen ließen. Dies minderte mein Vertrauen in die Stabilität und Sicherheit des Geräts während des Trainings. Aufgrund dieser Erfahrungen kann ich die Body-Solid GCCO-112X Cable-Crossover Maschine Kabelzugturm nicht empfehlen. Die Probleme mit dem schnellen Rosten und der mangelhaften Qualität sind enttäuschend und lassen Zweifel an der Langlebigkeit des Geräts aufkommen. Bei der Auswahl einer Kabelzugmaschine sollte man nach robusten und qualitativ hochwertigen Alternativen Ausschau halten.

Anyone that has the space for one of these in their gym should get one. It transformed my training. It doesn't actually take up much space, its just quite high. The only gripe would be it is a shame there is not a setting for the cables to be used from the middle of the machine, only the top and bottom. But even so, the value for money is brilliant. So many exercises can be done with this thing, Best piece of gym kit I ever bought. Easier to construct with two people. About 2 hours. approx.

Good one for home gym
