Which would you buy?

Endurance Man

Right, so im planning on buying one of these multi-gym systems, try work out at home a bit. Got my eye on these two, they are the cheaper versions but should do the job.

Difference in cost between the two is minimal and they seem to do the same thing. Was thinking maybe someone has experience with the brands, which would be better quality? Which is likely to be more comfortable?

Advice appreciated :P.
Cheers

They both only have 62/64 kg resistance which really isnt that much.Are you just begining resistance training?
Even in a short period u'll have easily be hitting over 60 in bench,lat pull downs,etc

Unless someone can correct me and u can buy more plates for them?

Personally id pay the 75 euro less for the v-fit one,had them in the old school gym and they were alright.I have no experience with weider,so i couldnt tell you!

truthfully you would be better off getting something like

and

you would be able to do a lot more different exercise with these compared to a multigym

Those arent the prices i would be paying :], the first is 155 and the other is 153 so not a huge difference.

Jsb i was actually planning on buying a few more items at a later date, wanna get a rowing machine soon to. I may look at getting a bench later on.

Does anyone know if you can buy more plates for this equipment?

Really just get yourself some free weights, e.g. a barbell and two dumbells and a bench. You can build it from there

I'd agree with JSB and Walt0r, but I'd also absolutely throw in a chin-up bar. It's very easy to overlook back exercises, particularly if you haven't got the equipment. And a good back is critical for a good physique.
OP, it's not only that you don't NEED to buy this stuff, it'll quite quickly become useless. A lot of people on this board would find themselves going backwards if they limited themselves to a home multi-gym.

Ok, went with your guys advice and got a bench and a bunch of weights :]. Worked out a bit more expensive in the end but im over it, should be delivered on Monday.
Could someone point me in the direction of a decent work-out walk through? Like info on what exerciser's to do ect ect?

Cheers for the help
