Please: I cannot "get rid of it" and buy an olympic barbell set. It is not an option.

That being said: I have a a home gym with pulleys, etc

I was wondering if anyone else has used one?

    I assume you mean a cable machine similar to this one?

    I actually have a cable machine in my home gym (Torque F1) and I love it. I probably do more accessory work than most here, and for that I love using the cable machine.

    Is it a direct substitute for a barbell? Absolutely not. Could I do Stronglifts effectively with it? Absolutely not.

    Hmmmmm

    Well can you advise on a starting routine ?

    I plan on, eventually, rejoining a gym with more equioment. But right now it is not a viable option.

    Please and thank you!!! (Side note: If I had a place to fit an olympic barbell set I would. I do not)

    My system has the chest press shoulder press etc too
