Inspire SCS Smith Cage System

The SCS system uses a 2:1 resistance ratio, which means for every 10 lbs selected on the weight stack, you are lifting 5 lbs of actual resistance. This design allows for smoother cable travel and finer weight increments, making it ideal for functional training and controlled movements.

Yes, the power rack section is designed to accommodate a standard 7-foot Olympic barbell. You can use your own bar for traditional free-weight movements like squats and bench presses alongside the integrated Smith machine.

The unit's height is adjustable between 81 and 87 inches. You should ensure your ceiling is at least 90 inches high to allow for proper clearance when performing pull-ups or chin-ups at the top of the frame.

The Smith bar on this unit is not counterbalanced, meaning the starting weight of the bar itself is 30 lbs. This provides a true-to-weight feel that many experienced lifters prefer for heavy compound movements.

Yes, you can purchase optional add-on weight kits. These kits allow you to add 50 lbs and 5 lbs to each stack, increasing the maximum resistance per pulley to 110 lbs.

Because the system weighs 1,100 lbs and has a very stable footprint, it does not require bolting to the floor for standard use. However, if you plan on doing explosive movements or have uneven flooring, anchoring it can provide extra peace of mind.
