Nice review. I like the dip attachment as it works well and seems to be easier on my shoulders than regular dips. I find the pec dec awkwardly bulky to move around. It provides a nice squeeze but not much resistance during the first half. I'll have to try out your hack. I actually briefly reconfigured the pec dec and put it at the top of my Iron Master bench to do lateral flies. It worked OK but too bulky to attach and reattach for someone who is lazy like myself.
@HomeGymHacksandReviews Жыл бұрын
Thank you! By reconfiguring the arms, I find the fly easier to store and move. Also, it provides a more consistent resistance profile, but not too much at the beginning where I find the shoulder most vulnerable. If you give it a try, please let me know how it works. Agreed on the dip attachment. So much easier on the joints than body weight dips.

Louie and Westside has a lot of exercises to do using the pins that he swore by to increase one's max on the big 3 lifts. Somebody like me or you though dont really need the pins because we don't squat or deadlift and dont compete in powerlifting.

People dont realize how you can work every muscle with a functional trainer and not just isolation movements but compound movements too. Hook the cables together and use a long bar and I can do lat pulldowns, bench, rows, etc. You know Man, you have it listed high I say 1. FT 2. Dumbbells 3. Bench 4. Weight Plates 5. Bars 6 Then a Rack if you want one. A person, especially a young person could save and save to buy a Power Rack then they can finally afford it. They buy it and it sits there until they can save up enough to buy something else. That's crazy to me. People who say a power rack is first is only saying that because they know they can afford a lot more equipment too. The regular teenager who is just starting has to go one piece at time.

It’s all about the attachments for me. For example, I haven’t seen a residential-grade leg extension or leg curl attachment that can hang with Powertec’s.

I love my PTWBLS, but the bench press is deceptive. 225lbs on the PT is not the same as 225 with free weights. Don’t be fooled!

Very good to hear you’re happy with the Levergym. It’s roughly a 20% reduction in actual weight lifted.

Your reviews rule. I’m hoping on Amazon prime day to get a nice price on a leverage gym. If not they do sell a different brand that is almost identical and sell for about $800 which isn’t awful for my budget.
