- I made this video because a viewer asked me to do a video explaining what the Powertec machine was and how I used it.

That is by far the best deal for a Powertec Levergym with attachment and weights.
PowertecFitness thank you. I knew the value of the of the weights. The Powertec being added just sent it into a whole new ballpark.
I have a Powertec and have ZERO regrets about investing in one. Got loads of weigh plates ans sometimes mix things up by adding resistance bands. They are by far the best home multi gym on the market.
How can I by in india pls tell me
I’ll give you 200.00 & I won’t break in your house.
Deal?
@@EDDIE5918 good luck breaking in THAT house...I guarantee you'll have quite a surprise waiting for you...lol
I thought I was the only person who integrated bench presses and leg extensions...
This is one of the best demonstration videos I have ever seen.This is a how gear
demonstration should be done.If you're not doing this professionally, you should be.
Excellent.
Jack Vai thanks bro 🙏🏾
That deal you got was AMAZING! SHEEEEESH!
I have an old Powertec lever machine I obtained maybe close to 10-12 or more yrs ago (?) When lever arm equipment was becoming prevalent at the gym. I love it ! You got a GREAT deal ! Nice review :)
This the definition of when there’s will there’s a way
Best demonstration I’ve seen for this machine. Greatly appreciated 👍
Nice review! Nearly 2 years on, my Powertec is one of the best investments I've made to my gym also... which I've redesigned and built up since 1978.
This is amazing!!! I just ordered the multi to also get the leg and ab workout along with many others from the multi but after watching your vid..this gave me more reason to order the Powertec. Thanks!!
The dog walking across the screen was a great touch.
“And if you want to be a Crossfitter...”
OMG! Classic! It’ll take a few years to hear anything top that on the internet! 👏🏼😄🤣😜
Carlo Pineda haha. Thanks for watching bro 🤣
Did lol at this too
Thanks so much for the demo - was looking into investing into one of these
Best touch was the pet dog walking across the bottom of the screen. Then he returns for the grand finale.
Deal of the century
I had one of those for about ten years man. A great piece of equipment, ruggedly made and well designed.
ممكن المقياس من فضلك
I just got the 2019 WB-LS 19 model in black. It's the best home gym equipment I have ever used. The pulley system is smoother than equipment at the gym.
How about deadlift and Squat?
Wow what a deal! Powertech is top notch! Great find. Enjoy man
that was a good demo. I'm thinking about adding a pwertec to my home gym and this was very helpful
Thanks for this video man....fantastic machine ..and most of the movements offer good resistance in the peak contracted position.
The best deal I’ve ever heard of.
I LIKE HOW YOU KEEP SAYING , LAST BUT NOT LEAST...IT'S FUNNY
lee lunk I noticed that too 🤣🤣
Nice, that's what I want for my home gym.
Got the same machine bro- best thing I ever bought
Man that is a great deal. I got mine 10yrs ago without the weights and rope attachment from Craigslist for $600. It is really a great machine.
I have that model. Love it.
Fantastic piece of kit and at a bargain price!... im not jealous ;)
Excellent review!
i tried your method for chest fly workout and its great. recently i found another way, using straps attach two pulleys one on the right arm the other on the left arm elevate the arms to maximum. put in new cables hook both to powertec's lower cable hook and it functions perfectly as a cable machine.
That’s an awesome idea 😎
That is the biggest Transformer toy I've ever seen
I had this set up.
It was great. Very safe for solo lifting.
Hahaha have the same one at home in a small room and since we are in lockdown and all gyms are closed, I was looking for ways to use the leverage gym since I didn't used it in like 2 years. Great vid thanks !
Willy Bob thanks man. That’s absolute best thing about home gym equipment, it’s always available when you want to use it!
GOOD DEMO EXPLAINING EVERYTHING IT OFFERS, AND SHOWING THE VIEWERS, GOOD JOB
lee lunk thanks.
I Got some great tips there! Cheers dude! 👊
Sweet find.
Great demo/ video.
Great job demonstrating the Powertec, you motivated me to get one for my boys. You sure scored on the price.
Yeah man I got super lucky on the price.
There's so many things you can do with this machine that even powertec doesn't talk about
That is the best deal I've seen. I think that is a 1200 machine, plus the weights. You got crazy good luck.
Brian Flynn thank you. Luck was definitely on my side that day.
Man, you got a STEAL on that equipment! Well done. Nice dog.
Solid review mate. Just bought a Powertec bench. Really good quality stuff for the price. That's a lovely dog btw
NathanStarrVideo thank you. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine. And thanks for watching.
Helpful demo to show the versatility of the equipment buddy. Got mine arriving soon but not for the sick deal you got! 👍🏻
Enjoy my brother enjoy. I still haven't used mine to its full potential.
Awesome find man!
I 100% agree...this is a fantastic unit. I have a similar unit as yours...one of the older units with the fixed bench press. The newer ones have some nice new enhancements, like the iso-lateral option and the detached bench, but I still love this generation. Very safe...and allows me to work out alone, which works perfectly for me.
I like the adaptations you made with the straps to perform other exercises. One other to consider is assisted pullups. I have a solid lat pulldown bar and I place that on the hooks at the top of the tower. I then place a chain from the top cable and attach a metal handle to it at the bottom. I then place my counter-balance weights on that cable. To perform the pullup, just press down on the metal handle with your foot and pull yourself up to the lat pulldown bar. It may seem to be a little unstable the first time you use it, however, after a couple pullups you will develop a motion to avoid swinging or hitting the tower.
Another adaptation is to do isolated bent-over rows specifically using elbows. I lower the bench down to about a 30 degree angle and remove the safety bar to lower the bench press bar down flat to the tower. Then, attach metal handles to 2 straps you would place just at or above each of your elbows. Then place the metal handle on the bench press bar. Then, pull up with your elbows. Very good upper back exercise.
Danny- Caper now those are some creative movements. That just goes to show with some imagination the possibilities are endless. I can’t see myself ever getting rid of this.
@@Radio1399 After not being able to find a leg press attachment or having a Powertec dealer nearby, I decided to see if there was something I could do as a hack. What to do is lay your bench flat as if doing bench press and insert pin at top level for the press bar. I then inserted the bicep curl bar on top of the pin, but under the press bar to elevate the bar higher. I then lay on the bench and put my feel up to the bar and press the weight as if I was doing shoulder press or bench press from a laying position. Instead of using the bicep curl bar, I may have something made this summer that will fit tighter. Sorry to hear you sold your Powertec unit...if I sell mine its only because I bought the newer unit with isolateral movements.
I have one and i couldn't agree more, best home gym on the market. Bought mine for 375 a few yrs back on CL too with a bunch of attachments. I'm about to sell it to my bro for 275 and I'm going to get the new model. The bench on the new model is a full bench not just a partial (it can be used independently of the rest of the machine) and slides out a lot easier. Also the new model has the lower cable attachment built in. It's still a great machine and the new one is 1200 bucks with no attachment so if you can find the older one its still worth it. It's not an alpha machine, in other words you wont get to Arnold levels of muscle with this alone, but its damn good. Compact, all the major exercises, safe cause you can max out without killing yourself, whats not to love. Great vid.
Ninji522 I appreciate the comment. I can’t stress enough as far as secondary exercises this machine can take care of a lot of needs. When I can I’m going to upgrade to the newer model as well.
Great video and you got a great deal
Awesome machine, i bought two powertec machines..great products!
Awesome !! Great video !!!
BigMike32 Nope thanks bro!
Great video. Thanks.
Audio quality is on point!
GREAT idea. I could get a couple of gymnastic rings with the straps quite cheap off ebay and do the same sort of thing.
With the prices of home gym equipment today, I'm sure the guy that sold all of that stuff is kicking himself lol
For sure! He could have gotten 5 times the price.
dang!!!! nice setup! I paid 1500 when it first came out the machine is bulletproof!!!!!!
Nice machine man. Your got a sweet deal on the price. Those machines are mucho $$$ brand new
Thank you for this
CREATIVE !
I have the newer isolateral one I bought 4 years ago...it was expensive but I use it 6 days a week!..best investment I ever made!!...i also have ironmaster dumbells which I love. Good luck👍....i think your last exercise is best for rear delts
This is exactly czcams.com/users/postUgkxUHHotQRjIQnfuxEeVotlkHVYWH0DXZoS what I needed to get some exercise while I'm stuck at my desk all day. It's just the right size. Only downsides are that the right oeddale unscrews itself while I use it and increasing the tension causes it to squeak while in use. Both are minor issues that aren't that important to me. So I give it 5 stars.
300 bus. Man. That would be 2 grand second hand during COVID hear in Australia. Great buy!!
Good video, man...TY
Man I need one of those . All I care for biceps ,triceps,back, thighs ,hammis
Solid piece of equipment...
Great video
Damn you got s sick deal on all that!
Wow, you're so lucky to have found one for that price! Here in the UK the prices are extortionate, even second hand - plus the price of the plates makes this extremely expensive. Great video by the way.
Thank you.
It's so great you have so good ideas 👍👍chest exercise perfekt
Awesome review. I was thinking of getting an old school soloflex. But, this looks interesting.
Johnny Lira it’s definitely worth checking out especially if the price is right.
I have an older Power Tec. One exercise I can do with it is set the chest press bar up high then i lay on the set flat bench, on my back, in reverse. My head is at the other end of bench. I then use my legs to push up the bar. Thats my leg press. Nice video
Ronald Fuller that’s an awesome idea. I will be trying that for sure.
That worth 300...good buy...I own a old school the name is universal. Large weight stacks owned for 20 yrs.its from the 70s...works great..
Awesome review thanks for sharing
Greg Benson thanks bro. And thanks for watching 🙏🏾
I picked up the WB-LS-S1 leverage system, about 3 months ago.. For 300$ as well, I love it! It's basically the same as yours, but I would assume a couple years newer. The bench can come off, so you can squat with a bar that connects to the bench grips. The low pulley and lat pulldown knee holders are built in. It's a fantastic investment! especially now with this Virus shit..
Wow that’s a great deal and a good job showing its capabilities.
dlroto thanks. I appreciate you watching.
@@Radio1399 you got all that for $300!?!?! I hope you bought the guy dinner first? Lol Good for you. Seems when people finally decide to sell exercise equipment, it's because they don't use it and will take anything to have it gone. I have the same heater in my basement gym. Love that thing!
Never give up that gym man that was a steel that you got
Perry Gonzalez thanks bro
You got a steal brother
Tony haler thanks bro
thanx for the video, thumbs up : )
Awesome machine ! I just set mine up today, I bought the three station version.
David Drabek thanks. And congrats on yours!
Iceman 23 that’s a tough choice.
I bought this used on craigs list too. My best purchase for my garage gym works great been using for 10yrs. Paid $400 used with lots of weights. I have all of the attatchments. You should get the fly attatchment it is easy on the shoulders.
John R thanks for watching. I have to look into the fly attachment.
$300 is a STEAL for all of that. Good for you man. Great video and your gym looks awesome!
Thanks
Yep, this is by far one of the best machines out there. I got mine for free with all the attachments, a plate rack, plus pairs of 45s, 35s and 25s for free. I just ordered a 115 lb set to make it complete. By the way, after that well explained video, I just subscribed to your channel.
Jeff Y that’s a heck of a pick up. And thanks for the sub.
@@Radio1399 best deal ever. My friend got a forceusa G12 ($5000, with no weights & no bench) and decided to give me his old and trusty powertec for free. Fast forward 5 months and he told me that was the worst decision he made regarding his garage gym. So I'm very happy with mine.
Jeff Y that’s what’s up. And that’s a good friend. I can’t see me ever getting rid of mines, just upgrading it.
This is a great machine considering safety with heavy weights as compared to using barbells.
Hi Radio 1399...nice piece of equipment... Nice video brother!... Stay safe!
Thomas McNab thank you. Stay safe as well.
I agree. It's the best investment. I like the quality. I have the multi system one as u can see on my profile picture
I need some Powertec in my life.
I m from Germany, top video 👍you are great men, top gym
Thank you.
Awesome buy
Awesome review! New follower 👍🏾
Jamel Williams I appreciate it 🙏🏾
Good video, happy that you got a great deal on it. Right now is COVID times and everyone wants a home gym so there's no way I can get this for a great deal. Either way, I was trying to decide between Powertec and Body solid. You seem to be the same height as me and works well for you so I'm going with Powertec.
I don't think you'll be disappointed. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I have a model that might be a bit newer has bottom pulley built in but bench isn't removable. I made the bolt a wing nut so I can move the bench out of the way for things like tricep pulldown, etc. I can sit in the floor for cable rows. I also have the pec attachment..really like that. Good review...going to try the strap ideas.
Timothy VanHorn good idea modifying it to be able to swing the bench out of the way.
I must have the same model. I don't move my bench. I just straddle the bench to do tricep exercises. For low pulley rows I just lower the front part of bench, sit on back part of bench. But then maybe I have the model where the low pulley is bolted higher than your pulley.
Sucks they cannot ship this equipment to Hawaii. I really want to purchase 1 so bad
I have the old multi station one… but this is the one I wanted. Price was right at the time 15 years ago. Only wish I knew how much I could lift free weight.
I have one it is a great machine.
I was thinking about having a low pulley attachment made but it looks like that one you have is factory? I purchased mine secondhand as well and it came with a straight bar that connects across the handles that can be used for squats. I’ve been in a walking boot the last few months and this machine has helped me do a lot of movements I wouldn’t otherwise be able to do with one leg. Great video, thanks!
That’s what’s up. I love that your still training even with a boot.
My neighbor gave me a similar model for free with weights and attachements. He was moving and wanted it gone asap. It is an amazing piece of equipment.
Thanks man! Nice video. What straps are those for the simulated cable crossover? Do you feel the same burn/pump as a real cable crossover -- or at least close enough?
BigEarlPearl1 thanks for watching. It’s not the same burn but the pump is pretty close. It’s definitely a good variation for the garage. I’m not sure what the straps are called.
Thanks for this, I bought a power tech for $300 as well
And I didn’t know how the lower pulley attachment worked. Thanks for the demonstration
Dang that's nice worth every dollar
Great price. Make a video on how you negotiated for less and also what you do for shoulder rehab. I dislocated mine last month on 3-25. I have an MRI scheduled May 6th and it’s still messed up.
Also I am a new subscriber!!!
Reynaldo Balmes thanks for watching and thanks for the sub.
I’m looking at buying one of these in the next couple of months but was debating the weifht the horns can take as I want to go above 200kg :)
300.00 ? What a steal bro
I love the video. I do feel that you should “NEVER” shoulder press behind the neck. I know so many people that get shoulder problems from that movement
Thanks man I appreciate it. I believe behind the neck pressing isn’t for everyone but for those that have the flexibility it’s an option. But you have to have the mobility and going heavy isn’t recommended.
Just ordered this and finally someone making a demonstration video who actually looks like they train 🤣🤣🤣👌🏽 anyway by your size i can tell this can pack some good weight and you train hard... im 216lbs and 6ft i know ill be able to quit my gym and use this on a regular
This video has answered all my questions I had but now dont
Good Man 👌🏽,, stay bless from UK
I’m glad I was helpful and I really appreciate the support. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoyed mine. 💯
@@Radio1399 Yea I clocked you sold it but with good reason so I defo dont regret my buy.... Can't wait for it to arrive 👌🏽
Awesome video. Just subbed ya! I’ll be buying this.
Mickey and Daddy Adventures thanks bro. With everything the way it is now, are you thinking new or used?
Radio 1399 I’ll see what kind of deals I can get. I don’t mind buying new. I don’t know if I’ll get a smoking deal like you, though.
