I find the instructions for this machine very hard to follow. After installation of the XF2000 I only have 4" (max) of chain movement. Is this correct? I know...
Actually 4" sounds a bit much. The cables should be tight as possible. There is a little 'play' in the chain, but not very much. You basically move the bar to...
Am I stupid or is there no way to use the incline feature of the bench? I wanted to do a bench press with the bench in the incline position. However, I...

Thanks Steve again for your detailed response. I put some of my personal information on my last reply about the 'range of motion', but my name is Marc and I'm...

What's up, Anthony. I'll take that into consideration. I got my workout from Mike Mentzer's Heavy Duty 2. I know Mike always emphasized doing the "bigger"...

Hi Steve, Thanks for the welcome. I haven't read through all the posts on this board yet, so I don't have a feel for the group culture, but it seems that an...
