Powertec Workbench Multi System (Yellow)

Product Information

Maintenance-Free: There are no cables or pulleys included in this product, meaning you won't have to worry about rusting and constant need for lubrication of working parts. Simply assemble it once, and you're ready to go! TheLeverGym Advantage: Lever arms implemented within the design of this multi-gym drive the exercises, while the special weight plates are loaded directly onto the lever. This functionality 9 simply replaces the barbell. Finally, the bench and ab station includes a front tube adaptor that's compatible with various Powertec Workbench Accessories. So you can keep adding to it over time. Should you buy the Powertec Workbench Multi-System? The arms on the lever gym equate to 20 lbs. lifted. (10 lbs. each arm). The weight reduction due to the leverage is 20% of the total load plus the weight of the arms. For example - with 200 lbs. added to the Leverarms, you would minus 20% for the Leverarm weight distribution (160 lbs.) plus the weight of the arms (20lbs.). Therefore, 200 lbs. of weight would equate to a total 180 lbs. of perceived weight lifted. The new bench does appear to use the same silly adjustment pins though, and the pad and handles look identical as well. Also, the downside of that extra stability is that the front feet of the bench are going to be precisely where your feet are going to be when pressing.

Fitted with everything you need to workout your entire body! Whether your goal is to burn fat, build muscle, or increase your endurance, our machine will help you achieve it! If you’re a powerlifter, strongman, or any other experienced lifter who basically just needs a decent cable station and a decent device for blasting out your chest after an hour under the barbell, but you still care about function, form and positioning, and you intend to load this up with some real weight, well then this review is for you. In comparison to other multi-gyms, it is not the most compact model you could find. You do need to ensure that you have sufficient space to store this, however, a spare room is not necessary. That's the great thing about having multi-gyms. Multi-User Capability: The greatest thing about this machine is how versatile and functionality-rich it is. This fitness station can be used by three people simultaneously, and another perk is that the footprint will remain the same. You will be benefiting both your body and the planet. With our machine, you'll never need to buy any piece of home gym equipment ever again! We teamed up with some of the best sports equipment engineers to bring you the ultimate cable multi gym machineI kind of go against the grain when it comes to Titan; at least among my fellow reviewers. I believe that anyone who can put a pair of 45’s on a bar (regardless of the lift) should steer clear of Titan products; which I think covers just about everyone. They are cheap, poorly constructed, and even dangerous products in many cases. I’m personally afraid of their J-cups, their safeties, and really anything with welds to be honest. Some people will tell you that only a couple of people so far have had their J-cups snap in two or a weld shatter, but I don’t want to be the guy that happens to and I definitely don’t want it to happen to any of my friends or family who use my gym. It’s just not worth the savings. With a vivid, staggeringly bright yellow accent hue, this multi-gym is sure to make a statement in any location it is placed in. It doesn't look too clunky or industrial, and it allows you to access a wide range of possible workouts. The bench includes the front tube adaptor that accepts all modular Powertec Workbench Attachments. True Weight Lifted on Leverarms: Many people have noticed their suitability for home gyms too-because of course, they combine all potential home-gym fixtures (treadmills, cross-trainers, rowing machines, benches), into one machine- you save a lot of space, and you achieve the same goals. Generally, multi gyms have gained increased attention and popularity due to people's desire to access workouts more.

This leverage system does not allow for a very large range of motion. You can only pull the cable so far before you’ve moved the plates thru their full range. Chains are used to change the starting position of your cable attachment, but maximum range of motion is always limited. Tall people will probably have issues with a number of movements. I did. The tower is a solid piece of equipment. It will allow you to do any movement that you could do with a lat tower/low row combo; it will definitely allow you to do any movements that you could do with the Spud Inc. Pulley System; and it will even give you access to the Hammer Strength-style, iso-lateral pressing movements. Lots of variety indeed! With this PowerTec Multisystem Workbench/fitness station, you can perform a wide range of exercises including Calf Raises, Close Grip Bench Presses and Pull Downs, Incline Leg Lifts and Bench Rows, Squats, Lunges, and much more. The Powertec Adjustable Bench basically floats on an unnecessary amount of pins, bolts, and pivot points; making for a rather wobbly bench, and one that I don’t trust with a whole lot of weight. Powertec has designed the Workbench Multi-System for use in homes and in light commercial settings. Unlike many of the home gym brands we've covered, Powertec doesn’t specify a maximum user weight for this whole body system, but it easily will be toward the upper end of the scale.

The bench is only remotely stable when attached to the WorkBench frame, but leaving it attached makes lining the bench under the pressing handles impossible. You’ll either line up properly under the handles for pressing, or you won’t. I do not. The bench is not stable enough when unattached from the unit for heavy pressing so I just don’t use it at all. The pressing arms can also be fairly useful if you’re fortunate enough to have a bench that allows you to line up properly under the handles. I’ve had major issue with this myself, and I own no less than five benches at the moment. The 2016 version of the WorkBench has iso-lateral pressing arm function, which is a very nice touch, but you still need to be able to line up properly to use those arms safely (with good form.) If you’re of average height you likely won’t have too many issues (see a theme? This thing hates tall people).
