Powertec Workbench Multi System (Yellow)

Product Information

Creative owners have managed to expand upon the WorkBench; some even making a belt squat platform with the lower pulley. 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. 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 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. With isolateral leverage arms, the Multipress is designed with control and safety in mind. The Multipress allows the user to experience the same feel and range of motion of free-weights all with the safety of a machine. The fully adjustable bench provides for a wide range of upper body workouts. "The safest and smoothest pressing station on the market". Ideal for solo training and expandable to accept multiple workbench attachments. 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. 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. It may be too much to expect you to try the available options, but I think a lot of people would want something like this but with no problems — both plate-loaded and selectorized.The pins used for making adjustments are garbage. They take a lot of effort to use, and they are prone to jamming and just outright breaking. Why Powertec just didn’t use the same spring-loaded pull pin that you’d find on any other equipment is beyond me. I finally burst my Air Fryer Virgin bubble with the Ninja Foodi FlexBasket, and can’t imagine why I waited so long The Powertec home gym is one of three multi-seat systems we reviewed and is capable of enabling three people to use it at once. As mentioned above, there are dedicated stations for chest, core and leg training. In comparison, the Yukon Wolverine enables four people at once to exercise.

Generally, multi gyms have gained increased attention and popularity due to people's desire to access workouts more. Both pulleys are super smooth, and exercise variety is limited only by the number of attachments you have. The Powertec adjustable bench that I have is no good for pressing at my height, but a standard bench cannot be pushed close enough to the machine to work well either. Either way I go I have to flare my shoulders, so I just don’t. Tower SummaryMaintenance-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! The pressing arms are smooth, can handle up to 500-pounds total, and offer a number of starting point positions. I consider the pressing arms to be like a budget version of a Hammer Strength machine. It’s not perfect, but it’s nice to go blow out the chest at the end of a workout with the WorkBench. I truly believe that the WB-LS’s overall value changes based on who is using it; with novices getting the most from the system, and veterans getting the very least. Since my readers are generally the more experienced athletes, I will be looking at the WorkBench from that more experienced perspective. I find that among experienced lifters that there is more interest in this machine for accessory work than primary lifts, and I think these folks want to know that the machine can not only do these secondary movements, but do them well (offer full ROM, adjust for various heights and builds, offer a high enough weight capacity, and so forth.)

Are you talking about the accessories? Or are you referring to other machines like the WorkBench? like the Body Solid Corner thing? These heavy-duty plates were designed and manufactured with the highest quality standards in mind, offering superior durability and all-around performance for all lifting styles.
