How is this for seated preacher bicep curls using the pulley?

To be honest not very good. Its great for chest and triceps. I bought the tricep rope. It works great.

I actually bought it at Wal-Mart.com, it was about $100 cheaper plus free shipping with instore pick up.

Rope pull cocking. My buddy has the manual cranking handle, very slow and very loud. Pull rope quick and quiet.

It does not matter from which material pulley made off. So metal would work just as good as plastic as long as you doing exercise.

That's exactly why I bought it and how I use it. It works well but is larger than I would like. It's got a grip of iron -- you could almost do pull-ups from it :)

I have lifted only a couple of times with it. It worked fairly well. I run mostly. After a three mile run if didn't shift much if you're worried about it sliding around. Hope this helps.

I have a 2005 Jeep Liberty and I bought this tool to use. It did not pull the pulley. I used a six inch gear puller and a rubber mallet.

It's doable, but you'll be right at the end of the pulley's capacity. I have had a couple of my clients use it for that. You may hit the top every now and then.

My rope goes all the way in. There is a step when you are assembling the rower to loop the rope around a pulley, which made the rope tighter. It's steps 6 and 7 on the included user's manual and assembly instructions.

You might think that from the picture, but no, the rope goes through a ratcheted pulley, i.e. you pull it down to set the tension and it stays in place. It also has a safety feature that causes the pulley to slip if you set the tension too high. I highly recommend it for its comfort and ease of use (versus the type that use 30 lb bags of water to set the tension). One drawback - I'm tall (6'4") and because of how far the tension mechanism hangs down, I basically have to sit on the floor when hooking it to a door to get it to work properly.

Unfortunately this device was designed to be used primarily with an ez-curl bar or a straight bar. Using dumb bells can be tricky...mat be difficult to maintain balance. Hope this helps.

Mine doesn't always rotate, it just allows me to curl without tangling the cord.

Cable curls are tricky, assuming you're using the lower cable, due to the lack of counter balance. The machine tends to lift and fall forward unless it is anchored.

I never have any need to remove the pulleys themselves. When the pulleys need to be disconnected from the glide board you reach under the glide board and unhook the rope. Takes 2 seconds.The other things I do to switch are to change the difficult setting, i.e. raise or lower the glide board. This takes about 15 seconds. Getting in and out of the foot strap is a bit awkward, maybe 30 seconds. Swapping the pulley handles for the bicep bar doesn't always go easily; getting the handles out of the clips takes some work. Swap is still under a minute though. A couple other things take just a few seconds. I never have any need to remove the pulleys themselves.

We have only used the sheller by hand to crack walnuts and it works great. I have no idea if you can attach a pulley to it and use a motor.

For some excersizes its as easy as moving arms different ways or legs .it not hard at all to detach pulleys .So very easy to use definately user friendly !

I use it on a deep pile carpet and it stays sturdy for all exercises, however if I "kip" during a pullup to leverage momentum, it will rotate a bit toward me. Not enough to tip, but disconcerting enough. If you're on a deep pile carpet I'd recommend not flopping around too much on the bar.

It doesn't work well at all. you are better off shortening the pull rope a little bit and pulling up on the string to hook the line. the crank cocking device works very poorly.
