The tower portion of the WB-LS is a pretty solid piece of equipment. It comprises about 2/3 of the total WB-LS price, offers a ton of variety in terms of exercises that can be performed, takes up very little square footage in your gym, and it has a longer list of pros than cons. 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.

I appreciate the update on that newer bench, William. I’m certainly glad to hear that it’s improved because that old bench really was a nightmare of a product, and I really do like a lot of what Powertec does. Weight Capacity (pounds/lbs): Press Arms– 500 lbs; Lat Lever– 400 lbs; Crunch– 100 lbs; Squat Lever Arms– 500 lbs Please note that this model features our newer J-Hooks, compared with ones shown within the videos. All functions and features remain the same. Exercises: Calf Raise, Close Grip Bench Press, Close Grip Pulldown, Incline Bench Rows, Incline Leg Lift, Lunges, SquatsTo summarise, besides being top coffee-break talk with your colleagues, owning a multi-gym will offer the following benefits: 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. The previous generation of the Powertec Adjustable Bench. The good news is that you only have to avoid this version if you’re shopping the used market (which you probably should be.)

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 machine I finally burst my Air Fryer Virgin bubble with the Ninja Foodi FlexBasket, and can’t imagine why I waited so long 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. 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.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. The bench includes the front tube adaptor that accepts all modular Powertec Workbench Attachments. True Weight Lifted on Leverarms: 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.

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 Summary 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. The pulley system can handle up to 300-pounds total. It’s not jaw-dropping high, but it should be adequate for the vast majority of lifters. 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. 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?

Max Weight Capacity: 500 lbs (250 lbs each side) with up to a 200 lbs. user on bench. (over 200 lbs will need to subtract weight from max weight capacity of arms)
