Bodytone Solid Grow SG32 Biceps and Triceps Station

The Bodytone Solid Grow SG32 is a dual biceps and triceps station taking Olympic 50 mm plates, with a recommended maximum load of 47 kg. It combines two arm training positions on one compact frame and belongs to the Solid Grow line, Bodytone’s entry to mid-range plate-loaded family. Light In Fitness supplies it at 1,111.10 EUR excluding VAT.

Two stations in one footprint

Arm work is where small facilities lose floor space fastest. A preacher curl bench and a triceps extension station occupy two footprints, two circulation zones and two sets of plates, for exercises that a member spends perhaps eight minutes on. The SG32 puts both on a single structure: a biceps curl position with arm pad and a triceps extension position, each with its own loading point and its own movement path. For a studio under 150 m2 or a coach working from a single room, that is the difference between offering complete arm training and skipping it.

• Two distinct positions: biceps curl and triceps extension
• Recommended maximum load 47 kg
• Takes Olympic 50 mm plates, not supplied
• Targets the biceps brachii and triceps brachii
• Single frame, single floor footprint

Plate loading rather than a stack

Plate loading gives a resistance curve closer to free weights and removes the maintenance items that selectorised machines bring: no cables to replace, no guide rods to align, no stack to service. In exchange the user must load and strip the machine, which is a fair trade in a supervised studio and a poor one in a high-traffic commercial club. Budget a 50 kg set of Olympic discs per station where the machine is not served by a shared plate tree.

Frequently asked questions

Can two people use it at the same time?

The two positions are on one frame and share the structure, so simultaneous use is possible only where the layout gives both users clear space and the loads are set independently. In practice it is used by one member at a time, moving between positions, which is how the space saving is realised.

Is 47 kg a limitation for arm work?

Rarely. Isolated elbow flexion and extension are performed at loads well below compound lifts, and 47 kg on a fixed-path arm machine is a heavy working set for most trainees. Facilities training competitive athletes would specify a heavier plate-loaded line rather than Solid Grow.

What does Solid Grow mean in the Bodytone catalogue?

It is the entry to mid-range plate-loaded family: correct biomechanics and commercial construction sized for moderate throughput, aimed at small studios, independent coaches and premium home gyms. For continuous high-traffic commercial use the Forza and SRX lines are the appropriate specification.
