what's up ladies and gentlemen this is
0:01
David Benjamin from WellStar reviews in
0:02
healthy wild 3 today I'm reviewing the
0:04
parab body GS4 gym system this system
0:09
has a lot of different exercises and
0:12
routines for your legs your upper body
0:16
um and I'll kind of walk through each of
0:19
those with you and then share with you
0:21
some of the features and functions that
0:22
I like and dislike about this unit so if
0:25
you sit down the first thing here is the
0:26
leg extension uh right here this this is
0:30
great for your quads and the bars are in
0:32
the back so I have it I think on like 11
0:35
right now and there's 16 total and to be
0:38
honest with the 11 is pretty well I
0:41
won't say easy it's definitely
0:42
challenging for me but I'm not a big guy
0:45
I'm a fairly small dude so uh if you're
0:48
a really big guy this is probably not
0:51
for you but uh it gives you enough
0:53
weight to you know get a difficult uh
0:56
burn in your quads which is nice I'll do
0:59
like I don't know a bunch of these in a
1:01
row like 30 35 of these in a row until I
1:04
get that burn until you know I can't
1:06
keep going uh I will say one thing with
1:08
the leg extension that I don't really
1:10
like is if I put my legs in here and I
1:14
go up I'm good but then when I come back
1:17
down it stops a little bit prematurely I
1:21
would prefer that this came back further
1:25
so that my uh weight going down my quads
1:30
further so I get more of a r more range
1:32
of motion there um the range of motion
1:35
would be nice in the leg extension so
1:36
that's one thing with the leg extension
1:38
moving on you have the this is for your
1:42
chest or your uh uh traps basically so
1:47
if I jump in here you know you have this
1:50
for um you know your chest and you got
1:54
like the
1:55
different uh range there so that that
2:00
feels good that's definitely a good burn
2:03
you can feel that really digging into
2:05
your chest um you know in terms of the
2:09
handle
2:11
positioning Pretty good
2:13
overall no complaints there uh one thing
2:16
you should know is that on this machine
2:18
there's this little bar here and when
2:21
you pull that out it pops out and this
2:23
goes up and you lock it in higher or
2:26
lower so if you take it back for example
2:29
here
2:30
that's when you would jump in and lock
2:33
your knees under this thing right here
2:37
and you know do the
2:40
traps so that you know for your
2:45
back uh and your uh excuse me your lats
2:48
I don't know why I said trap so uh your
2:50
back and your lats so you have you know
2:53
uh you have uh workout for your back
2:56
your lats uh your chest your leg
3:00
extension so really your quads um you
3:04
can pop in uh and do this as well so
3:07
this is another I'm not going to be able
3:09
to lift this much with the way I have on
3:10
there but you know that's more of like a
3:13
uh for the center of your chest so
3:14
really good chest range of motion uh you
3:17
know for chest press uh and then you
3:20
know pulling inward for the inner chest
3:22
and then if I flip around uh this lat
3:26
pull Downs this bar here not sure you
3:29
can do that to well but if I undo this
3:31
from the top here then I jump in here
3:35
once again put my knees under here to
3:36
lock myself in so that I'm staying down
3:40
you have your uh your lat pull down bar
3:43
here and you know that's nice you can
3:47
feel that in your
3:49
lats so um yeah you know
3:54
lats uh
3:57
back and then right here this connects
4:00
to it as well through a pulley system so
4:02
you can attach anything to this cable to
4:05
get you know you can do like uh
4:08
different arm you know things out uh you
4:11
know in either direction um you know
4:14
anything like that so you you could
4:16
basically uh attach and detach uh you
4:19
know any extension so like this for
4:22
example and you wouldn't do this one
4:24
particular particularly here but to show
4:28
you an example
4:30
I can get this off in the video it's not
4:33
easy I'm actually not going to do that
4:35
but basically this extension right here
4:38
you can see it's uh what are they
4:41
called a carabiner I think that's what
4:44
they're called I'm pretty sure CRA M but
4:47
basically you can attach anything to
4:49
this and then the weight on the back is
4:52
what you use and that's going to give
4:54
you that resistance so um you know you
4:57
can for example you could attach just a
5:00
singular handle and do pulls like this
5:03
or pulls like this or pulls this way or
5:07
a variety of ways with this machine so
5:11
quick recap you have the lat pull down
5:14
the uh the middle bar and this is aot of
5:18
shoulder arm chest back sort of range of
5:22
motion there you have this bar for your
5:25
chest press which has different handles
5:28
you know side side low and then kind of
5:31
this way and then if you face the
5:33
opposite way you have you know you can
5:35
pull for your back and then here you
5:37
have pulling into your chest and then
5:40
also I should mention this right here uh
5:42
this bench also rotates so you can get
5:46
uh more of a rotate U range in there so
5:49
you can lean that bench forward or back
5:50
and then you can take this bar forward
5:52
this way or back this way so you have
5:54
quite a bit of range of motion options
5:56
which I like um like I said however the
6:01
range of motion on the
6:04
quad on the the leg extension here it's
6:09
good but I wish it came down a little
6:11
bit more uh I I can release a little too
6:15
early like if there was more pressure
6:17
pulling down the quads would pop more
6:19
and you'd get more of that like def
6:21
definition within your quads which you
6:23
know at the gym that uh their Machin SP
6:25
to have that in this one I just I don't
6:27
know just a little bit less of Mo I've
6:30
recognized uh but it's not bad and I I
6:33
guess what you could do also to make up
6:35
for that is really you know use this go
6:40
forward a few degrees like that and then
6:43
that leaning forward of that bench
6:46
causes you to kind of you know lean into
6:50
that a bit more um it helps a little bit
6:53
but it's still not quite the same I'm
6:56
pretty picky about personally uh my
6:58
quads cuz I skinny legs so uh you know
7:01
everywhere I go that's what I look for
7:03
but uh you know overall this is a nice
7:06
machine the PA body GS4 gym system uh
7:09
really for your upper body your lower
7:11
body uh you know you you have quite the
7:14
range here um you know you can also
7:17
utilize this in this manner that's too
7:19
much weight for me but for your
7:21
hamstrings you can pull back on that so
7:24
if I were to lower the weight
7:26
here a
7:28
lot uh
7:30
you know you could essentially do
7:34
something like this where you're just
7:36
pulling like this right so you're
7:39
pulling up it's kind of hard to see that
7:41
um maybe I could do a side angle but
7:44
basically you'd be pulling up on this
7:48
machine right here so you would have
7:51
you'd be locked in right like this you
7:55
put your leg in here this sword pull on
7:58
to the bench and then You' just be doing
8:01
this right so you can do that on either
8:03
side like that or this for your
8:07
hamstrings um to work those so you know
8:10
you have the benefit there as well so
8:13
you know there's a lot of ranges you can
8:15
work your quads and your hamstrings not
8:18
really your calves per se uh but your
8:20
quads and your hamstrings right here and
8:23
then you can work your chest right here
8:27
so you have uh uh your chest and your
8:31
back right here and then your lats right
8:34
here and then your arms right here so I
8:36
mean for the most part uh you're going
8:38
to hit most of the muscles in your body
8:41
the only muscles you're going to be
8:42
missing which are important are your
8:45
glutes and your calves your glutes and
8:47
your calves do play a big role in your
8:49
posture so that's one downside is that
8:51
your glutes and your calves you're just
8:53
really not going to hit with this
8:55
machine um I really couldn't even think
8:58
of a way to to utilize it for that but
9:01
um you know other than that you're
9:03
hitting most of your muscle groups which
9:04
is a pretty good deal so um overall it's
9:08
a pretty awesome machine it's in terms
9:10
of a home workout piece of equipment
9:12
pretty exceptional it gives you a lot of
9:13
range of motion uh it has up to 16 so uh
9:17
10 10 lb each so that's 160 lb so quite
9:20
a bit of resistance most people are
9:22
going to be within that range for the
9:23
most part uh you know like I said the
9:26
chest press here um and you know the
9:30
legs I'm close to maxing out and I'm not
9:33
that big of a guy like I said maybe you
9:35
can tell I'm not that big of a guy um so
9:39
you know it's it's not going to be
9:41
something that if you're trying to like
9:44
be super Jack it's going to do anything
9:47
crazy for you but if you want to stay in
9:49
good shape and maintain your muscle mass
9:52
as you age this is a pretty good option
9:55
um in fact it's hard to beat for the
9:58
price all in one all in one unit so you
10:02
know I I think that's beneficial um the
10:08
the question would
10:10
be you know it feels good you get the so
10:13
the question would be uh is there
10:15
anything better than this in my opinion
10:18
the only thing around this price point
10:21
that is going to be better than
10:22
something like this is a vibration plate
10:24
specifically I'm referring to the power
10:26
plate vibration plate which I'll put
10:28
that video up here but basically that's
10:30
a little over two grand this is a little
10:32
over three grand the vibration plate you
10:34
can do lower body and upper body
10:36
workouts on it it takes up a lot less
10:38
space it does require electric
10:40
electricity however all of those micro
10:43
movements within the vibration plate
10:45
give your muscles more fatigue in a
10:47
shorter period of time so it does speed
10:49
up your workout time so on this you have
10:51
to change things and adjust things and
10:53
it isn't really time efficient um but
10:56
you get to work muscle groups
10:57
individually which is nice but with the
10:59
power plate it just vibrates and it's a
11:01
platform and you do push-ups squats uh
11:04
calf raises right you work your calves
11:06
on there you can work your glutes on
11:07
there um you know the the two muscle
11:10
groups the calves and the glutes you can
11:12
work on there um you know so and I guess
11:15
the other thing too is this and the
11:17
power plate don't really work your
11:18
biceps uh unless you were to take this
11:22
and do some sort of something like that
11:25
uh but it's just a lot of kind of like
11:27
you know setting up and like adjusting
11:29
things and then you have to change the
11:30
weight in the back and all this kind of
11:32
stuff so um it is nice but if you're
11:34
looking at something within this price
11:36
range to get the most optimal results
11:37
for your Fitness routine that takes up
11:39
less space and speeds up your workout
11:41
time I mean quite literally using the
11:43
power plate or any vibration plate for
11:45
that matter I like the power plate or
11:47
the vi plate and I'll put both of those
11:48
videos below you're going to get like
11:50
double the effectiveness so if this
11:52
takes you 45 minutes workout you can do
11:54
that same workout on a power plate or
11:55
Vibe plate within like you know 20
11:58
minutes 25 minutes
11:59
and get the same results if not better
12:01
results because you have more resistance
12:03
from the vibration so um I'll I'll put
12:06
the link to VI PL and the power plate
12:08
