Powertec WB-LS11 Levergym Workbench

I bought this product for best price. With all you get for the price I expected a half decent machine. I honestly have to say that this is a FINE piece of equipment. It took a few hours to put together. The instructions are vague. On carpet the bench is a little unsteady. Its fine on hard floor. My only regret is I should have bought this a long time ago. If youre considering buying this for your workouts, do it! You'll love it!

I bought the Levergym about 3 months ago and am seeing tremendous results. For what it cost to join a gym for a year, the Powertec gives you most of what you need to get a full workout at home. I find that having this piece of equipement in my house means I get to use it more since I don't have to waste time driving to the gym or waiting for other people to get off a machine that I want to use. Not to mention I don't have to deal with other people's sweat left on the machine or listen to their grunting. In addition to the exercises shown on the Powertec website, I've found there are many more variations that can be done. You can seach YouTube for workout routines to get some ideas. For example, I bought a rope attachement which I connect to the upper or lower pully to do tricep rope pulldowns, rope hammer curls, ab crunches, and overhead tricep extensions. I also bought a V-bar for doing tricep cable pulldowns since those seem to give me a really good pump. Another nice feature I like is that since this machine uses free weights instead of stacks of plates, like some other home gyms, I can really load it up as I've been building up mass. For example, after three months, I am working out with 250lbs for bench and 300lbs for shoulder shrugs - and going up every week or so. I would probably be benching the whole stack by now on some other home gyms and be maxed out. I also bought a set of dumbbells and I use my curling bar to supplement the exercises the Powertec offers. My Precor elliptical is what I use for cardio to round out my routine.
