By using your uprights’ holes for height selections, you can fine-tune the feel of nearly all your cable exercises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kraken saves the clangin’ \u0026amp; bangin’ for your barbell lifts; its aluminum pulleys and dual guide rods deliver the kind of velvety smoothness you'd expect at a commercial gym — but without the crowds, the dude grunting in the corner, and that fit-fluencer hogging th\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003ee \u003ca style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\" href=\"\/products\/smith-machine\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSmith Machine\u003c\/a\u003e for \u003c\/span\u003e“just one more angle.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dual aluminum handles have 6002 bearings, rotating as smoothly as a\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e \u003ca style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\" href=\"\/collections\/barbells\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ebarbell\u003c\/a\u003e, and\u003c\/span\u003e allow bilateral exercises from a single upright. A single cable features a 2:1 pull ratio (10lbs feels like 5lbs), tackling everything from rehab work to isolations. Plus, the cable travel offers uninterrupted focus during sport-specific drills or while getting that joooooicy bicep pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen connected with the cable adapter, the Kraken converts into a glorious 1:1 pull ratio — perfect for heavy lat pulldowns \u0026amp; low rows — with no need to buy a separate weight pack expansion down the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafety is no afterthought either — the Weight Stack version features an optional that does double duty: protecting fingers (big and small) AND acting as a pegboard, keeping your neatly stowed using their included hooks. This means more family time while keeping your little ones safe… because a home gym shouldn't need a “Caution: Dangerous Sh*t EVERYWHERE” sign.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWhat our Experts
