Powertec Leverage System | Home Gym Equipment Reviews

The Powertec Workbench Leverage System Home Gym sets a high level for all the other leverage home gyms on the market. With it's characteristic yellow and black themed colours its hard for any of it's competitors to beat it. The unique feel of free weights and a home gym machine make it one of its kind.

The uniqueness of the Powertec Leverage System allows you to train heavy but with the safety and convenience of a home gym machine. Therefore you don't need a spotter and the squat option can be rotated 90 degrees which is great and is one of the many reasons why we give this home gym a big thumbs up!

This particular model (WB-LS) is toward the bottom end of the whole Powertec price range but it really is a versatile home gym. You can do over 20 heavy workouts on this gym which comes courtesy of fantastic engineering and design. To many 20 exercises does not seem like much but in actual fact it is all that you need. With these 20 exercises you can train all the necessary body parts thoroughly. The number of exercises contained in many home gyms is way too overboard in my opinion, as half of them you probably will never use and don't really need to either. Just because they have over 75 exercises does'nt mean that they're a better gym because they're not. The workbench leverage system from Powertec is simple yet effective, very effective!!

You can do squats which is a major bonus to any gym as any keen bodybuilder uses squats as the core of any program, due to the sheer muscle growth potential the exercise has.
You don't need a spotter. Due to the safety of the system it is impossible to get trapped underneath the weights.
You can lift tonns of weight with the Powertec Workbench Leverage System. Just look at the 1000lbs limit on the press!
The bench can be also used for dumbbell exercises due to the spacious nature of the machine and clever design.
Top quality

If your a tall person you may find it a little difficult to do standing row due to the length of the low row. This can be fixed though by simply adding a bit of chain between the end of the cable and the handle of the bar. Make sure you read your warranty first though before attempting to modify it, as it may effect you right to get it replaced in the future.
It's gonna take a while to fit the thing together as there are over 50 bolts, so make sure you get a friend to help you or else your gonna be putting it up all day and night.

The Powertec Leverage Home Gym on a whole would probably appeal more to the intermediate or advanced lifter due to the amount which the the gym can lift. The absent feature of the squat on nearly every home gym is apparent but not on this one, it's included and is of top quality. The leg press is good but the squat system is better and if thats something you look for in a home gym then the Powertec Workbench Leverage System Home Gym is for you.
