Powertec Workbench Power Rack (Black)

Product Information

Solid and safe design: Polished steel guide rods; Wide lat pulldown bar and small flat bar; Easy load design; Ring stoppers; Industrial nylon bush carriage system The R3 has the coveted “Westside hole pattern” (1″ hole spacing in the bench area; 2″ hole spacing everywhere else). Meanwhile, the Powertec has a larger gap of 2.5″ hole spacing all around, which isn’t terrible, but it’s much less precise for when it comes to adjusting the pins and catches during bench bench press. We love both models. The Powertec model is great and if you have your heart set on it then by all means you won’t be disappointed. However, if you think you could reinvest the spare change from the more affordable M200 into a decent bench or some weights, then the smart choice in our eyes is to go with the Mirafit. The pull up bar is curved: The curved/angled pull up bar makes pull ups feel unnatural. I find it puts may wrists and shoulders in an awkward position. In my opinion, it would be best if Powertec used a straight pull up bar (preferably with hammer/neutral grip handles built in). That said, I can still do pull ups on it, but it’s not ideal. Also, I should mention that some people actually prefer this style of pull up bar, so this may not be a “con” for everyone. Improved pull up bar (it’s wider and has capped ends to prevent the grip material from slipping), though, as I discuss here, I still have a complaint

It’s also worth remembering that squats are not just great for building muscle, they are also a great way to burn calories and as such they have a great deal of potential when it comes to burning calories and in turn burning fat long after the workout. Our lower body muscles are much larger than most of the upper body muscles and therefore require more replenishment and repair from our body which is why we would never recommend skipping leg day! Built with a solid frame for extra support, the multi-position flat/incline Workbench Utility Bench is designed to support your strength training. For ease of use, its low to the ground design enables easy access.Hanging leg/knee raises – expand your abs workouts by adding some hanging knee raises. You can even hold a dumbbell between your legs for added resistance! Be prepared for insane abdominal DOMS after this workout! Lifters who aren’t sure about what attachments they want. You can add a ton of variety with the different attachments over time here rather than all at once.

The width of the M120 ranges from 78cm to 123cm whilst the bar height has an impressive range of 93cm to 151cm. Additional information: Weight load capacity - 136kg/300lbs weight horns, Dimensions (LxWxH) - 76 x 95 x 203 cm (30 x 37.5 x 80”) It did not show how one end of the cable connected and I only knew how to connect it because of what parts I had left over. One end of the cable is secured by a screw assembly and the other by one of the three ellipse hooks that were included. So to answer your question, if I were in your shoes, I would most definitely go with Rogue–specifically, I would buy the Rogue R3. Trainees who want a lot of plate storage. You can get plate storage, but it’s more limited than other options on this list.

Power Rack Attachments

With the standard out-of-the-box setup you will be able to perform a pretty extensive upper and lower body workout with chin-ups, pull-ups, hanging leg raises, dips, squats, presses and horizontal pull-ups all at your disposal. The moveable J hooks are very high quality and are easy to adjust in to different positions. So I guess which direction you place the numbers is a matter of personal preference. As for me, I’m too lazy to turn mine to face in, so they're staying the way they are. This really depends on your goals. Squatting helps to develop lower body muscles and is particularly useful for helping to develop the quadriceps, hamstrings, calves and the glutes. Performing squats also helps to develop your core muscles and as such it is one of the best strength exercises you can undertake.

Anyone who wants a wider cable distance for more of a cable crossover feel. The pulleys are only 48 inches apart making it harder for those with longer arms to do crossover type movements. Investing in the spotter arms is definitely worthwhile if you are planning on working out alone or lifting big.I've thought about putting the holders on the outside of the front uprights but then there would be no safety bars to spot you. The safety catches are also moveable and easy to change – and of course allow you to lift heavier weights easier without the need for a spotter (we do recommend that you use a spotter though when working out with heavy weights). Some of the most common upgrades are different J-hooks, a lat pulldown, jammer or trolley arms, band pegs, an upgraded pull-up bar, bar holders, and weight plate storage. The options really are only limited by your space and imagination. Full-Body Workouts It allows me to do all the exercises that I need it for, and it keeps me safe while doing them. With the exception of a couple small critiques, everything I have to say is positive about this piece of equipment. Read below for the specifics. Pros: This puts the front cross bar pretty low, however, so just watch your head or wear a hardhat while lifting!
