Ive got a multi gym and just wondering do you think its safe to put it in a upstairs bedroom.
Do you think the floor can take the weight.

Thats what i got im not sure on the weight of the whole thing.

Look at it this way.
1. Your Multigym has a pulldown bar for Traps, and other upper Body areas, like Rhomboids and Lats.
That's bad news.
You can't pull it down straight or you'd hit yourself on the head, so you have to do 2 things.
1.1 Tip your haerd forwards, pushing some of the Upper Vetebrae outwards, then stressing the area with weight.
1.2 Push the Shoudlers back beyond perpendicualr, stressing the joint, and pushing weight down on it.
You will find it very difficult to work Traps, Rhomboids and Lats any other way, except with that Cable.
2. Unless you flex your Feet towards to face, and stretch out the Calves, using the Hamstring / Quads bench attatchment, and do a modified Hamstring Curl, Calves are virtually impossible to train.
Also how do you do Biceps on it. I see no Bicep thing to use, unless you maybe used the Pull-down cable, to do a modified Chest workout, and using a Pronated grip, (Knuckles Facing you).
3. Unless doing Hamstrign Curls on it, stimulates areas like the Illiocostals, and Erector Spinae, you'll get poor Lower Back condition, which could lead to lower Back pain, in conjuction with strengthened Abs.
Been there not pleasant.
There's also virtually no adpatation capability, so progress could be limited, when you're doing the same Leg, Back etc etc, exercises, and all you can do to change your workouts, and try and stimulate further growth, is change reps, sets, and eat more, not use different exericses, to get a different emphasis.
Plus the weight is fixed, so some muscles have good growth potential like Delts, but others like Chest and Legs don't, so a 180 toned frame is very unlikely.
Need I emphasise such points any more?
I train by myself, and never use a spotter. If you train properly, and stay focused during some potentially hazardous exercises, like DB Bench press, you shouldn't have any problems at all.
I have never seriously dropped a Dumbbell doing DB BP once, (fumbled but not dropped one, once or twice putting them down), but by then their about 6" below the ribcage, and away from Torso.
I've been doing such an exercise for about 4 years now, when I stopepd Bar Pressing.
So don't sweat it about no spotters, you shouldn't have any major problems training by yourself, if you had a Bench and sone DB's, but if you use a Multigym, you might en up years later with postural inadequacies, or increased degradatyion, of physical structures.
Why feel 65 at 50?
