Are the Tornado X Arms the best articulating arms for a home gym? In this review, I'm breaking down the new pulley options, weight ratios, cable travel, versatility, belt squat potential, compatibility, and the differences between the Tornado X Arms and the original Tornado Arms.
In this video, we’ll answer questions like:
* Are the Tornado X Arms worth it?
* Are the Tornado X Arms the best articulating arms?
* What is the difference between the 2:1 and 1:1 pulley ratios?
* Can you get 300 pounds of effective weight from a 200 pound weight stack?
* Can you use the Tornado X Arms for belt squats?
Equipment featured:
- Tornado X Arms
- Tornado Trolley 2.0
- Tornado X Arms Retrofit Kit
The Tornado X Arms add a second attachment point, giving you both a 2:1 and 1:1 pulley option. This lets you choose between more cable travel and more effective weight depending on the exercise, while also allowing the two pulley points to be connected for a 1:1.5 ratio. In this review, I test the different pulley ratios and explain how they affect effective weight and cable travel, including how a 200 pound weight stack can provide up to 300 pounds of effective weight with the 1:1.5 setup. I also look at the versatility of the articulating arms, including different cable widths, cable crossover movements, bicep curls, lat pulls, and whether they can be used for belt squats. For existing Tornado Arm owners, I also walk through the Tornado X Arms Retrofit Kit and show how the original arms can be upgraded without replacing the entire system. Finally, I cover the main drawback of the Tornado X Arms, their compatibility requirements, pricing, and whether I think they're worth adding to a home gym.
