Body Solid Bi-Angular Home Gym Review (G10B + G10B-LP)

Body Solid G10B & G10B-LP Reviewed

Upper Body Exercises  

Ab Exercises  

The Body Solid G10B-LP has everything the G10B has, plus the leg developer station. For us, the leg developer system is necessary because we need to do compound leg workouts.

The extra station makes it take up a little more space in your house or garage, so keep that in mind. 

And because of the leg press station, assembly takes a little longer, and you should definitely consult the owner's manual while you're putting it together.  

Similar to the G10B, as long as you do regular inspections of the machine and keep everything well lubricated, your machine should last a long time. But if you have any issues, it does come with a lifetime warranty. 

The exercises available on the G10B-LP are the same as the above model but also include the following:

Unique Features Of The Body Solid Bi-Angular Home Gyms

Both Body Solid Bi-Angular home gyms, the Body Solid G10B and the Body Solid G10B-LP  have unique features that make them an excellent product to invest in.

Things like the multi-directional resistance system, the ab crunch station, and the weight stack make them a wonderful addition to any home gym. 

Multi-Directional Resistance System 

The advanced alloy weight stack enhances the multi-directional resistance system that can increase muscle interaction by 25%. 

The advanced alloy weight stack plates are machine drilled to exact specifications.

They also employ state-of-the-art nylon bushings for super smooth and quiet operation. 

This selectorized machine has many advantages compared to a plate-loaded machine. 

It makes it much easier to switch between different weights during training.

Leg Developer 

If you want to build muscular legs and strengthen your knee joints, the leg developer on these Body Solid machines will do just the trick.

The SmoothGlide Bearing System on the leg developer, along with self-aligning leg cuffs, will guide you through devastating leg presses and leg extensions. 

The leg developer also comes with an independent weight stack, so more than one person can work out at a time. 

Seated Row/Low Pulley Station  

If you want a robust and well-developed upper body, seated rows build depth in the middle back and train the hard to get lower lats. 

In addition, the low pulley swivels to provide resistance for cable curls, upright rows, shrugs, leg abduction, leg adduction, and more. 

The good thing about this machine is the low pulley allows for various low row alternatives.

Ab Crunch/Mid Pulley Station  

Everyone wants abs. You can develop awesome abs and terrific triceps quickly at the ab crunch/mid pulley cable station.

This station is engineered for a smooth, comfortable, full range of motion crunching movements. It also comes with a utility strap, which you can use for cable crunches or other alternatives.

Lat Pulldown/High Pulley Station  

At the lat pulldown/high pulley station, you can perform crisp lat pulldowns, triceps press downs, cable crossovers, and many more high pulley exercises.

The adjustable hold-down pads will stabilize your body so you can lift more than your body weight.

The high pulley station on this machine is perfect for various lat pulldown alternatives and tricep extension variations.

This revolving straight bar pulley station allows you to really put your upper body through its paces. 

The lat bar offers incredible upper body development with multiple exercises for each muscle group.

You're also able to get maximum stretch and full range of motion in the lats, which is vital for muscle growth.

Perfect Pec Station

The chest and pec area are often overlooked while working out. However, these Body Solid home gym machines are equipped with swivel arms designed for unilateral and bilateral movements.

The swivel arms also allow you to hit your chest at different angles. This gets you the maximum stretch for deep muscle toning and incredible upper body development. 

Leg Press Attachment Options  

The optional leg press attachments eliminate ankle stress and provide consistent resistance with a full range of motion.

The pivoting press plate rotates forward and downward to target your thighs, hamstrings, and glutes. 

And for the big guys, the extra-large, extra wide, non-slip rubber-covered press plate is just for you.

Side stability handles lock you in place, and commercial grade, precision engineered pillow block bearings provide smooth movement and tighter tolerances.  

Weight Stack Upgrade Options  

The amount of weight that can be loaded on the G10B is really impressive.

It comes with two 210-pound stacks in the box, but if you'd like more weight, there's an upgrade option available to add an extra 50-pounds per stack. 

Pros & Cons Of The Body Solid Bi-Angular Home Gyms

The Body Solid G10B and G10B-LP are excellent choices for both beginners and advanced lifters alike.

Quality-wise, these Body Solid machines are two of the best all-in-one resistance trainers.

They are excellent pieces of home gym equipment that are commercial grade with several standout features like rugged construction and the ability to work your entire body. 

We love the dual 210-pound weight stacks with the G10B, with an upgrade option to add an extra 50-pound per stack. 

Body Solid G10B Vs G10B-LP

Leg Press Attachment - Is It Worth It?  

To us, the leg press attachment is absolutely worth it. We love working out our lower body, so the leg press attachment is a must so we can do compound movements for the lower body.  

The leg press attachment is available on bodysolid.com for just over $1,000.[2]

We also opted to go with the 50lb weight stack add-ons that you can get on Amazon to make the workouts even more challenging. 

Comparing Bi-Angular With Other Body Solid Home Gyms 

G10B Vs EXM4000S   

If you have a big family that exercises together, this machine is for you.

The Body Solid EXM4000S can accommodate 3 users at once (4 users with the optional leg press station) with 3 weight stacks and industrial grade construction.

The Body Solid Bi-Angular home gyms can only accommodate 2 people at once.  

Both the EXM4000S and the Bi-Angular home gyms offer an enormous range of upper and lower body exercises for maximum muscular strength, total body conditioning, and superior muscular endurance.

They also both fit comfortably against a wall in your home gym. 

G10B Vs EXM2500S 

The Body Solid EXM2500S offers a simple design, maximum performance att at an affordable price. Even at this low price point, Body-Solid still provides you with three distinctly different workout stations with the EXM2500S.

The EXM2500S is an excellent machine that allows for muscular growth and definition at the three precision-built, biomechanically designed stations.  

Similar to The Bi-Angular home gyms, there's a station for presses, pulldowns, flys, and a third station for rows. Each of these stations is excellently designed for a challenging workout. 

G10B Vs EXM3000LPS  

If you're looking for maximum strength and a garage gym full of workout options, the Body Solid EXM3000LPS is exactly what you need. 

The EXM3000LPS by Body Solid is a multi-station workhorse that can do just about anything. And two of your friends can exercise with you because of the three stations.

Like the Bi-Angular home gyms and the other two Body Solid machines, the EXM3000LPS can deliver an amazing total body workout to rival anything you can do in a commercial gym. 

Comparisons With Other Home Gym Brands  

Body Solid G10B Vs Nordictrack Fusion CST 

If you're looking for a solid home gym with excellent build quality, the NordicTrack Fusion CST is a sturdy and robust piece of gym equipment.

However, what really sets this NordicTrack apart from the Body Solid Bi-Angular machines are its trainer lead classes.  

The NordicTrack Fusion CST trainer lead exercise classes are fully interactive, so you can ask a personal trainer questions in real-time, all through the NordicTrack Fusion CST app (iFit).  

Either home gym will give you a decent workout, but if you want to feel like you're taking a fitness class with other people, the Nordictrack is for you.
