Low rows are very smooth on the Powertec, but they do need to be done from the floor rather than on a bench. In the image, he dumbbells are for my feet; otherwise I’m too close to the machine for any real ROM. 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.) 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.

Starting Weight: Press Arms (20 lbs), Lateral Lever (0 lbs), Crunches (15 lbs), Squat Lever Arms (35 lbs) We would like to point out the best features of this particular model, which would be the attractive appearance, excellent build quality (most of their training machines are finished with a solid powder coat for enhanced durability), and careful safety measures. For all the features it has to offer, the price is very much affordable and holds great value for the money you spend.Generally, multi gyms have gained increased attention and popularity due to people's desire to access workouts more. 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. 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. Constructed to remove wobbling! With our extra wide base constructed from heavy duty steel to provide an immovable experience when lifting. We've also fitted our cable machine with solid steel, coated cable wires to ensure maximum tensile strength when lifting at the heaviest settings of our cable machine! 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.

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 machineThe 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). The Leverage Advantage: Weight plates are loaded directly onto the Isolateral Lever Arms providing for a natural feel and the resistance of free weights with the safety and control of a machine. Total Body Training for Multiple Users: 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. 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.
