[The Summary] [The Product] [The Package] [The Pros(+) vs Cons(-)] [The Final Thoughts]

[The Summary] I bought this after experiencing some issues performing squats using a Force USA G6 Smith Machine (deserves its own review later) and a Force USA barbell with light to medium olympic weights.

The reason being was that I was experiencing some weakness and knee pain on my left side and it almost became a kind of muscle memory experience.

Looking for a solution to build strength and balance in my quads and knee joints. I started looking for Force USA branded equipment to add to my existing home gym.

Soon enough, I came across this. I have never heard of it as well as its silly name. I had a look at some earlier examples sold around eBay and a few second hand ones but were not Force USA branded. Despite the various choices, the other examples were also not commercial grade built.

[The Product] This piece of equipment is quite small and has a small footprint that immediately gives you an impression that it does not do very much.

Though upon closer inspection, the only part that is adjustable, is the front where the foam rollers are situated and then at the back is for the height adjustment for the cushion.

This product regardless of its brand as there are others that are similar, all share a common theme when using this kind of equipment for any kind of health improvement.

And that is, you need to be very careful upon how you use it and also be willing to remove all personal egos aside. If you have never used this kind of product before or understand its mechanics in performing the exercise; I would highly recommend that you start at beginner level using no weights what so ever, until given time that your body gets use to it over time.

What I experienced the first time when using this piece of equipment performing isolation exercises, when I used light dumbbells, I ended up rupturing my achilles tendon on my right side. So that was not a great experience making my mobility non-existent for three weeks.

Now I am not saying that this will happen for you as the user, but this is one of the reason why I am suggesting that you be extra careful when making a decision to purchase something like this to perform the expected strengthening exercises.

[The Package] It came in a basic box and following an easy to follow instruction guide to assemble. It took me about 20 to 30 minutes to put it all together.

[The Pros(+) vs Cons(-)] The Pros - great exercise platform for strengthening weak lower body muscles - small foot print and does not consume a great deal of floor space - costs (for a commercial grade quality build equipment)

The Cons - can cause damage if you don't start slow with basic exercise movements before progressing further with additional equipment or weights

[The Final Thoughts] Other than learning the hard way experiencing the damage caused by inexperience on a small platform such as this, I hope this offers a level of guidance for any one considering in getting something like this for their personal or professional use.

I would highly suggest you try it out first if an opportunity is given to understand how this operates as I did not get that opportunity when I purchased it other than using YouTube for research prior to making a conscious purchasing decision.
