Q&A: Should I Buy Plate Loaded or Cable Stack Machines?

We often get asked about the Pros and Cons of weight plate loaded machines vs their more expensive cousin, the weight plate cable stack.

Today, Sam will cover all you need to know about the differences between these machines, and which one you should buy for your needs and budget.

Any questions, please ask.

Have a great day!

For pulling prefer cable stack, for pressing weight plated

Man, I keep trying to pause the video to read the name plate of that awesome looking dumbbell rack…lol but it’s just at too much of an angle I can’t make out the letters

So it doesn't matter which one i buy they both will make me stronger?

Does anybody have experience with cables/cable crossover when it comes to being plate loaded or with a weight-stack? Does plate-loaded work with lower weights, if you put the weight on only one side? Does it still run smooth enough?
