This is a repeat of an earlier deal that went OOS.

As noted by Fryth [link], this machine comes with a pulley setup that offers 1:2 resistance ratio. So, each 165 pound weight stack offers 82.5 pounds of resistance.

1. Weight - This thing is as heavy as you'd expect. It comes on a pallet with three large boxes and a bunch of boxes full of weights. You might be able to move the pieces by yourself but really should be at least two people. It took 4-5 hours to get fully put together.
2. It comes with more resistance that i expected. I debated on ordering additional weight from the manufacturer Day 1 but glad I didn't.
3. Motion - Smoother than i expected. The cable move really smoothly for a non-commercial piece of equipment. For tricep pushdowns it is a little short but it's doable and there many alternatives.
4. Bench - For me, it is basically garbage. It's far too short for practical use and I ended up getting a regular size one off Amazon that is much better.
5. Wall poster - Since i'm not the only one in the house to use it I got a $10 wall poster from Amazon that has a bunch of different types of exercises.
6. Flooring - Costco had some really nice 1/2" foam gym padding I got to put this and other equipment on. If you're even considering it, doing the flooring first will be a hell of a lot easier than after.
Overall i'm very happy with it as it substitutes many other pieces of equipment, and is quick to switch exercises. Hope this was helpful
All the best,

Everything that I've read indicates otherwise. Not only do the extra plates not fit the stack, but the pulley system can't handle the additional weight.
CORRECTION. Found this in the Amazon Q&A:

And glad you tipped me off about the bench. I'm 5'6", but my son is 5'9" and he'll be the primary user of the FTX.
Would you happen to have a link to the wall poster?
