The Results
All results are below, but some interesting notes include:
- Likely because of the release of the Ares and Athena, the Functional Trainer Like Attachment (Selectorized). This rose greatly through the ranks as highlighted in the section below.
- As we’ve seen in the past Roller J Cups beat out Sandwich J Cups and Monolift Attachments as preferred j-cup.
- Selectorized options beat out plate-loaded options by a fair amount. For example, the Selectorized Lat Tower received nearly 43% high-interest votes vs. just 27% for the Plate Loaded Lat Tower.
- A Leg Curl/Leg Extension received more than 2x high-interest votes than The Isolator
