Thank you so much for this video! It helped us a lot!!!! Me and my husband only realized that you actually live really close by after we were almost done with all the steps! :D Wish we knew in the beginning but thanks to your amazing video we could easily build it!
No way I could have done mine without this video. Thanks so much for filming this!
You’re very welcome. Glad to help. Thanks for supporting the channel 🙂✌️❤️
Awesome video thank you so much. Was daunting to think of the process of putting this up but I'm gonna keep watching this video to help me out 👍
Thank you for saving my sanity! Assembly finished! 🎉
Man thanks for this video. Started putting my G12 together with the instructions yesterday and every time I had a question or things were unclear I turned this on and it was EXACTLY what I needed. Well done on the step by step guide, it sure helped me. ForceUSA should include a link to this with every unit they send and pay a fee to you! Appreciate it!
You’re welcome. This is the reason I made the video, to help where help is needed. Those instructions are not very clear.
I’m going to reach out to Force USA and see what they think of your suggestion. Thanks for that. Enjoy your newly assembled G12. Thanks for the support of my channel too.
All the best to you and yours 🙂✌️❤️
I just sent them any email. I’ll let you know what they say.
Force G12 hasn’t responded at all 😔
Thank you very much from Spain, on Wednesday I received the machine, and after two days with little free time, I managed to assemble it thanks to your Video. I have to say that from the time it arrived until it was assembled, it took me around ten hours. but without your help it would have cost me much more. thanks again, cheers!
Super easy! Barely an inconvenience! Great video, very informative!😉👍
Thanks brother!
Great video! Actually looking forward to putting ours together now 😺
Great install installation 👍
Awesome work!
Amazing video thank you! I really needed this to put my G12 together.
Thanks for the video!
You’re very welcome. Thanks for supporting the channel. Enter our LIVE power tool GIVEAWAY if you like power tools and haven’t entered already. We do it LIVE every Saturday night @ 9pm CST.
I just finished putting mine together today, your video helped greatly. Thanks!
You’re welcome. Congratulations on getting that machine and getting it assembled! 🙂✌️❤️ Thanks for the support.
Did it only take you a day to put up? Roughly how many hours,
Thanks for the video bro really helped me putting my g12 together
I just ordered mine. Still waiting for it to be delivered. Now I’m here watching your video just to be prepared 🤓.
Thank you so much! 🙏❤️
Let me know how everything turns out with the assembly 🙂✌️❤️
Super!
Putting mine togheter along with your film 👌🏼👍🏼
I just finished assembling my G9 with your help my guy.
Thanks a billion!!! Seriously!!! Thank you.
I subbed too!
Force USA should pay you for this video, because their instruction manual sucks donkey ass!!🤣😂
Excellent presentation! I’m using this as a guide to assemble my G9, which is basically the same unit but without the built-in weight stacks.
Thank you. I appreciate the support and I hope the assembly turns out well for you. 🙂✌️❤️
Great Job!👍🏼
Thanks. I appreciate it 🙂✌️❤️
Hi Mate
Your video demonstrations makes easy to install this beast easy. Great video. Thanks a lot.
Hello! That’s great! Very happy to assist. This one was definitely a beast 🙂. Thanks for letting me know, it always helps me stay encouraged to keep making videos like this. Enjoy your new equipment! 🙂✌️❤️
@@MasteringMayhem
Hey mate
I ordered G20 and couldn't see any video available over the internet. But I believe, your video will help me to install that. Frankly speaking, I don't like the idea for placing the hocks on the G12 board that you've shown at 19:05. That's why I didn't order that. BTW, thanks again.
Thanks big pimp, got a g15 on the way. This vid makes me feel more prepared for the assembly
thankyiu i enjoy watch thsivid
You’re welcome! Glad it was a video you enjoyed. I always appreciate your support. 🙂✌️❤️
Awesome video! I was so close to getting the G12. I did an unboxing on my channel for my Ironmaster IM2000. Looks so sweet. I liked the G6 until I saw the G12. I love the larger size and commercial quality 😍🙏🏻🏅🙏💯
FitForActing Reynaldo B Thanks for watching the video! I appreciate the support. Thanks for the feedback too. I hope all is well with you and yours.
Thanks
Nice
This helped me a lot. The "instructions" they give you are basically just diagrams. You'd think for a grand total of $6200, they'd add some instructions that are actually put together well.
Glad the video helped. Thanks for supporting the channel 😊✌❤
Nice video Bro
Hi ,are the storage horns only for olympic plates?I'm going to buy one as I'm told the g12 is compatible with standard plates which I have a lot of. I can see the smith is as you put the sleeves on
Hi, I am finalising the G12 and the shield panels just don't seem to fit. Any tips?
What was the torque settings/recommendation for the drill?
Top job mate. I combined your video with the instruction booklet and I got the job done. I have 6 L shaped plastic brackets with a hole in each one. Not sure where they were supposed to go.
Thank you for the feedback. The 6 L shaped brackets are for attaching to the pulley covers on top of the frame. These help keep the pulley cables from spinning off pulley. I can’t attach a photo, otherwise I would.
Let me know if that helped any?
@@MasteringMayhem oh yep, that makes sense mate. Thank you.
hi what is your experience with the G12 i cant make up my mind between G12 or G20 cheers
NOTE for people with low ceilings: save yourself a few hours by ensuring you have sufficient ceiling clearance to put the Smith machine counterweights in at the top of the upright tubes. Unless you have 60cm or so of clearance between the top of the machine and the ceiling, you won't get them in! Of course, if the instructions advised they be put in at the beginning, this wouldn't be an issue!
I wish I read this earlier... Just finished the plate stacks and now realized I can't put the counter weight in for the smith machine... Really disappointment. Do you have a solution for this? I was thinking to take the plate stacks off, unbolt the main towers in the corner and just lean it over. This is probably the least effort solution? The whole machine is basically put together at this point....
Hi, at which timestamp would you recommend I put the counterweights on before?
Hi, at around 7 mins 30 when you’re adding the extra parts onto the squat bar for the Olympic weights, before they’re added on, could this bar be used for standard sized plates?
These bars should take standard weight plates, yes. As far as I know anyway. I haven’t heard or experienced otherwise.
Hey dude, build the G20 so I don't have to read the instructions. LOL. Nice job on this build.
Just curious, how long in true time did it take you to complete this equipment? I'm on the fence about purchasing one of these items and putting it together myself.
Great video, much appreciated, but if I ever buy one of these, I will pay someone to build it for me LOL.
I see some similarities with the French fitness fsr70 … thanks for your video as I am stuck on a few steps cannot see the instructions very well
Hello from Spain!
When at 14:55 he shows that type of screw, where exactly does it go?
Thank you very much for your work.
I was stuck on this part too. This is a piece that you insert into the outside screw hole to keep the pulley in place. There is 1 needed for each side of the pulley. I hope this makes sense as it’s a bit hard to explain
Could you do a disassembly video too?
I’m struggling to put the smith bar in place … unfortunately the video jumps from the sleeves to the whole smith bar structure in place. 😞
Nice video. Do you have a link to the Rigid Impact tool? Aso...is it 3/8 or 1/2? Thank you.
Thanks for watching. I appreciate the support and feedback. The RIDGID impact driver I use in this video is the 1/4 quick connect chuck. Here’s the link to the driver if you’re interested: amzn.to/3jnlkhk
Here’s the link to the RIDGID 1/2 Impact Wrench: amzn.to/3tB2sjq
Hope that helps. Did you get the same fitness equipment?
I have the same machine but how do you stop the weight stack centre pin from wobbling? every time I use the cables the big pin that goes through all weights hits the sides and is not smooth
hello, did you manage to solve the problem?
@@MrJumile1021 Hello, no its still the same do you have this issue?
“This is the last longest one so I’m just going to do it all”.
It’s okay, I didn’t want to know anyway..
My smith machine bar seems uneven and touches one side first on the hooks (with no weights on it) so when its hooked on one hook touches and the other side is about 5mm off the hook ...any ideas iv tried everything??
Smooth Desire I looked at some photos of that model and I couldn’t really see how you would be able to make minor adjustments to the bar or sliding mechanism. It may be that one or the other hook was tweaked a little at some point and it just needs to be re-straightened. Other than that, if you haven’t already, take the bar apart and put it back together, sometimes that fixes the issue. I wish I had other suggestions for you...it’s tough when you can’t see it in person. All the best.
Smooth Desire you have to make sure both the counter balance screw and nut have the same threads showing. That’s what happened to mine.
@@MrTriple268 Awesome I will give it a try ..thanks for the reply
Man signed up for G3 back in April NO EMAILS FROM THEM YET, sucks!! However your vid is good feeling.
itscrucial WOW! I wonder why they haven’t gotten back to you? Did you end up getting something else or are you holding off for a while.
I was in the same boat for the g6. But I was able to order the g6 last night through thier Facebook page. It does not show in stock when going through thier regular site. It shows that you are able to order the g6 and the grey g12. I hope my order goes through.
M Navarro I hope it gets to you sooner than later 🙂. Let me know how long it took in the end.
@@MasteringMayhem they literally just emailed me back and confirmed my order is legit! So hopefully the rest will be a smooth process. Now I gotta worry about selling my current ironmaster 2000. I got no room for both machines lol.
Hi there did the low row foot platform come standard?
From my understanding the customer said it was an add-on. I can’t remember for certain.
Hey bro what’s the height at the pull up bar then the height on the highest pulley? Cheers Stu
How long and wide was that wooden crate ?
Was that smaller wooden box inside that bigger crate or separate ?
I can’t remember the dimensions. I assembled this for a client. 🙂✌️❤️
What model Rigid Sub Compact Impact gun are you using ? 3/8” or 1/2” ?
Thanks
3/8
Do u recommend lubricating the guide rods before usage or it's not necessary?
They should be pre-lubed. You can do it but it’s a regular thing that needs to be done for upkeep for sure.
@@MasteringMayhem what lubricant name/brand would you recommend?
I know this is late, but does anyone know why the pully mechanism is different on this version of the G12 @4:30, vs others that I find online? I just bought one and it has the same pully as this video, but actually don't like how the lip of it makes the draw of the cable feel a little off. Here is another G12 with a different pully that's more vertical czcams.com/video/cT7ERRLWuT4/video.html. Also, huge thanks to Mastering Mayhem for posting this as it was my lifeline.
i received mine but havent assembled yet. hopefully i have the vertical one. did you figure out if it can be assembled differently to make it more vertical?
@@DH-nz2pk Ya, I got with ForceUSA and asked them about it. There's no way to put it together differently, it was a design update. Here's what they said to me:
" The update is actually designed to make the cable more efficient even though the ball can hit at times. It is designed to make the upward movement of the pulleys better. Before when they were straight we had complaints of the upward mobility of the cables. It also makes the cable higher, which for taller individuals that needed more height on the cables is beneficial. I wish I had some other pulleys to send you but it looks like all of the parts we received are of the same design as the ones you received. Let me know if I can help out with anything else."
HI I know these are instructions for Force USA G12 but will these instruction also work for French Fitness FSR 80?... Looks the same?
Hello. I’m not sure, I can answer that definitively. I’m sure there are similar steps but the FSR 80 May have some specific steps that differ from the G12.
FF FSR80 is not quite the same machine, but watching these instructions will help with assembly of the FSR80. The FSR80 assembly instructions are awful, so reading the G12 instructions helps also, but beware of differences. The machine pictured on the French Fitness website for FSR80 is not the exact machine that they're selling (in fact, I think it's actually a G12). Also note that FSR80 is advertised as 2:3 pully ratio but it, like the G12, is actually 1:1.
What size do I need the head of the impact gun to fit the size of the screws?
I’ve been asking the same, did you get an answer?
@@marcodelgado1161 I think I ended up calling them. I can't remember what it was. And I bought a bunch of heads in different sizes just in case
Hi , great job man, very well performed and explained, I'll start put mine up tomorrow!!!
Since I've a room 2,4 m high only, is there any suggestion you would give me during the installation ?
To start, I'd better insert the cylinder weights (the ones connected to the cables) in the tubes at first step , and also the sliding front wheels in the graduated columns before assembling them as the ceiling of my room might not allow for those installation at the time suggested by Force USA....
Once again, congrats and thanks for the geat tutorial !
Following, did you manage to assemble successfully?
@@jamescbeeler Hi, yes I did, it works fine and also for the pull ups the height is perfect and doesn't provide any limitation to the movement.
Some material (side weight holders, guided bar etc) could have been designed more resistant and durable, but overall it's fine...)
@@daniloconsensi6150 really appreciate the reply! Thanks for the insight!
Where in Texas are you located? Just bought G12 and wanted to see how close you were to Burleson.
You’re 2 hours and 50 mins away. Sorry for the late response, I just saw this. Did you get it assembled?
How long does the assembly take for this machine? Very informative video btw. Thanks
This one took about 8 hours but I was also filming. So I’d say 6-7 hours to assemble if you’re only focused on the task. Thanks for watching, I appreciate the support. Views and subscribing helps a lot.
Impact driver any good for this?
Yes, I use and impact driver when I assemble these.
Where did you got the Low Row Foot plate from. You installed it in minute 20:40. When I see the homepage of force usa i cannot see it at the g12. I'm highly interested in this part. Please give us an anwser.
Stupidstuff2020 The client I assembled it for said he ordered it online. I’m not sure if he ordered it online or somewhere else. Sorry that I don’t have more info on that.
@@MasteringMayhem that'S really a shame. May I ask do you've the possibility to ask the client?
Here’s what the client said when I asked him about it:
“The low row foot plate? If so, that just came with the machine. I was happy to see it included, as it’s not pictured on their website anywhere. As far as I know it ships with all new orders. They probably just haven’t updated their site.”
@@MasteringMayhem Thank you for you anwser. On the homepage of force usa they had written: "The vertical leg press attachment quickly transforms into a low row station footpad...." Maybe in the new model it's not included anymore. But at the moment, I have the issue that it seems nearly impossible to get in Germany. The companie Gymcompany/Mundofitness seems to be scam... And from the force USA they are not shipping to germany. The dealer which is in the UK is so much more expensive then in the USA... I thought I can get it fpr around 4000€ but it doesn't seem so... but from UK it would cost around 5400€ ....
Stupidstuff2020 That’s rough. So, will you be getting different exercise equipment or just going with the one from the UK?
How long were you on the waiting list for that? Signed up for there email list and I haven’t heard from them in months.
I assembled that for a customer and at the time I believe he said there was no wait, just standard shipping time. I heard most exercise equipment is on back order at the moment. I hope it doesn’t take too long for you. All the best.
I just received mine today and I was on the list beginning of april
Love it, it's perfect for me, but I can't afford it.😭😭😭
It costs £4899. I don't know if shipping cost is included or not. 😭😭😭
I’m with you. It’s an expensive gym.
Shipping is NOT included. Cost me an extra $350.
Is this Tom Pelphrey from Ozark???
Cuál es el valor de esa súper máquina
G6 or G12 guys?
Anyone know the difference between the green and blue taped parts?
I don't know the difference, but it literally doesn't matter.
I’ve built a few of these in my time, takes about 2 hours. The leg press plate is on the wrong way.
Adrian Thomas That sounds about right.
If you've had some experience with building these, have you got any ideas of how to get the counterweights into the tubing frame considering they are shown to be inserted once the whole frame is put together? Some people haven't got that overhead space and now that the thing is nearly fully built, I can't fit them in as my roof level is too low? Only option I can see without totally disassembling it is to take of the weight stacks and try tip it over sideways to slide them into the frame? Any ideas would be great. Would be nice if the instructions told you how much headroom you will need to do it following their current method or even better, put these in earlier when the frame wasn't upright. Was nearly done and then this roadblock... frustrating.
@@134lifeplay yes I had this problem the first time, I now install them first then put it together
@@adrianthomas6066 thanks mate. Would make sense to have them installed earlier in the steps when the frame is not upright.
@@134lifeplay normally I’ll put them in first, and then build the rest and put the stacks on last then run cables.
Around how long does the assembly take?
Appx. 6-8 hours.
@@MasteringMayhem and around how long does the question take?
@@Gloomgrave ?
Why did you skip the smith machine slider pieces bro??
Sometimes certain parts are not recorded because I forget during my install. I hope to avoid that going forward.
@@MasteringMayhemone of the hardest damn parts man. You skipped multiple things. Didn't notice during editing? A simple om screen text message would be better than just skipping it especially considering the official company literally just sends us to this vid for assembly instructions instead of paying their ridiculous install price. Would've saved a lot of people from having to redo entire sections
Do they ship internationally?
I’m not sure. Sorry.
Flywheel?
Don Ray Learning terminology all the time 🙂
If only u didn't fast faward threw the difficult sections, like the long cabling section and the bar section. Other than that the video was helpful. Thanks
Or his brother?
Thanks for skipping the sliding first cable attachment before bolting the top on ffs.
Maan, rather pay the 500 for delivery and assembly
This does not take 8 hours to assembly, it only take maximun 3 hours
I wish I could have done it in 3 hours. That’s pretty amazing if you can do it in 3 hours. Good on ya’ 🙂✌️❤️
BS lol
Pleas help me
Do you live in Texas?
where do you live can you come fix mine? lol
Dream Hookah I’m in Texas. Where do you live?
@@MasteringMayhem bay area california, i'm booking your flight! dont be scared of our skies right now cause you cant see the sun during the day and it looks like mad max out here lol.
@@MasteringMayhem video helped a lot bro thank you!
Man, that’s pretty bad. I hope things clear up soon. I hope you and yours are well.
You’ll have to fly me out with my wife and 4 children too 🙂.
I’m really glad my video is helpful though. I appreciate you watching too.
what was wrong with yours?
It would have been a lot better if he would not speed up the camera so damn much! Especially towards the last part, where he's hooking up the remainder of the cables, and doesn't show in DETAIL how they go through the back and sides of the exerciser! 😏👎
Force should compensate you for doing this. They know every is using it and the could’ve done one…. Kinda BS
I agree 🙂
The video was great until you got to step 7
Skipped an important part
Which part is that? I have overlooked a few steps in some of my assembly videos. I try not to though.
It was installing the smith Machine rails that was a puzzle
Someone wanna buy me this?
Not a bad video, but not the best... at exactly 6:28 you grab the sleeve for the smith bar, then literally 2 seconds later the video chops to the sleeve and bar magically assembled. If you had included this assembly in your video, it would have saved a lot of head scratching... come on man.
Thanks
