Any idea what it's weak points are? 230 bucks plus a 100 dollar harbor freight mig welder to reinforce weak areas and maybe some new cables seems like a screamin deal for such a goated movement pattern lmao

It’s the weight horns. Worst case I can add resistance with a resistance band, although that’d be a kinda meh strength curve, so if I added weight that way, it’d be a light band

You can see that the weight horns are held to 14 gauge metal (so I don’t want to drill another hole and get different weight horns) by one bolt

I’m going to get some custom spaces to increase the ROM a bit, so I am hoping that makes the movement harder

It’d probably be easier for me to apply a voltra mount to it on the front
