Does this machine come with a type of poster, showing what exercises can be done? Also is the plate wide enough to do exercises at ground level?

It shows a few exercises on the control panel itself, i don't have the answer for your second question, I guess it depends how big you are and what kind of exercises you plan to do. I love that machine and use it almost everyday. Start slow though, and no more then 10 minutes at a time.

Mine came with a booklet showing different exercises and positions for using the machine, other than standing on it. The plate is about the size of a normal chair seat (16" wide, 12" deep). The machine has several Pre programmed routines that vary the speed and duration of the session. Great machine, well worth the cost.

There is no poster. You can sit on the platform or put your arms on it and lay out behind it. Otherwise I am not sure what you mean.

No leg cuffs, that is a new innovation for the total gym. Perhaps they will add them in the future? I also wish my machine had dip bars as well, but I can't really complain about all I can do for the price. I also like the total gym's new handle, as the cables do not pull down on your arms as much, if any. But the bottom plate still works well enough for lower body exercises.

No, it is a freestanding unto similar to what you would find at a gym, only not as fancy. I recommend setting it up in a perminant place, it is difficult to move

An elliptical trainer is mainly for aerobic exercise. This machine will give you a full-body workout. I would have preferred to purchase a pilates machine instead of this one, though.

The bar is part of the machine- it is plate load, so you supply the plates. The machine has an optional selectorized stack for the optional pec and lat attachments.

You should be able to get a user manual from their website. If you can't find one there, check with a local Golds Gym.

It does come with a sheet that shows pictures of different exercise possibilities using the different attachments, it does not however include step by step instructions, but I found the pictures helpful as a starting point.

Perhaps a bit for pulldowns, but you can adjust by kneeling or squatting in front facing the machine when doing pulldowns. You should be OK for the other exercises.

No I can bench the whole stack. I'm doing 45 reps with the entire stack now. I wish I bought a machine with more weight. I'm 5' 7" and 40 years old.

You can add standard weight plates to the leg curl arm at the foot if the bench. It pivots so that you can get a few leg exercises in.

No, it uses just the weight of your body and you can change the level of resistance depending on what angle you set the machine. It did come with some add ons but you don't attach weights to this machine.

This particular model is only for Olympic plates. I needed also to buy collars as the weights will not stay in place. 2 inch collars if I remember correctly. I do recomend this machine. If its not available at this time then it should be back again later as was my case.

The Leg press is similiar enough to a gym experience, certainly the exercise gets the muscle groups covered. The machine does not have a way to do a true squat that I have found...the range of motion for a leg press does not really feel like doing squats

I've just ordered one but have had similar machines in the past. You can basically do "pistol squats" and get just as good of a workout as you can with a leg press machine (which I use all the time at the gym too).

You will need small weight dumbbell,stability ball,pull up bar,that fits in a door frame.but it gives you options if you do not have the specific equipment.I really enjoy this workout program and suggest it to anyone I talk to.good luck

usually benches have an option this particular bench does not but for learning how to develop the legs its a verycomfortable piece of equipment so its only Olympic plates
