🏋️ Home Gym Great Upstairs Office
Speediance Gym Monster 2S
Primary upstairs machine with massive real-world usage.
It is significantly quieter than my original unit and office-friendly. I have logged 1,296,447 lbs of total volume across both Speediance machines with a best single session of 35,305 lbs in 50 minutes.
Post-V3.1 firmware changes made cable behavior worse for my training style. I have publicly criticized the retraction behavior and Safety Start implementation.
The hardware is excellent. My biggest issue is software direction and delayed features for advanced custom programming.
