The MAXUM X2 is a 6-post, 3x3, 11-gauge all-in-one that feels like a tank in a garage gym. You’re getting smooth articulating arms, a 220 lb stack per side, and a stupid amount of attachments/storage, plus 1-inch holes so you’ve got tons of upgrade options.
Pros
+6-post layout gives real space for free-weight lifting
+Smooth cables and articulating arms with tons of exercise variety
+220 lb stack on each side with option to add plates via weight horns
+1-inch holes compatible with many third-party attachments
+Lifetime warranty and free shipping (continental US)
Cons
-Included screw-style carabiners are annoying to use
-Weight horn placement can cause plates to hit each other if configured poorly
-Long arms can feel awkward for certain curl angles without using the extra pulley
