>>32694 Get a newton meter (also called a spring gauge or pull gauge) from ebay and use it to measure the force you are pulling.

>>32692 I can give you the link, I used google translate to convert from Dutch to English. https://www.focusfitness.nl/home-gym-focus-fitness-unit-2.html

Their claim: "Focus Fitness Unit 2 Home Gym comes with 50 KG weight blocks. During the training weight is doubled by the ingenious pulley system. This will train with many exercises twice as heavy and you can train up to 100 KG."

As you >>32692 said I was taught the same, but maybe I missed something.
I can verify that I don't use twice as much cable in order to lift any of the weight, it's really 1:1. So I'm a bit baffled. None-the-less it's a great system, I just wish I had a force meter to test their claim.

>>32691 can you pass along a link to their claims? Typically, the force is divided over the pulleys + friction, and increases the distance required to move the weight, thereby the effort remains constant (more pulleys equals less force + more distance = same effort as pulling weight directly, more force but less travel) Physics are hard to argue with.

According to the manufacturer the pulley system doubles the weight of the ..well.. weights. I have a hard time figuring that out. I hope one of you can eli5.

>>32687 I couldn't find a spare axle with tires, so this will have to do ;)

When I decide to work out (I'm not giving it too much thought) I'll opt for a cheaper model.

Did it come with a free T-shirt?
