WB-DMA Workbench Powertec Dip Machine Accessory
The Powertec Dip Machine Accessory was introduced in 2010 when Powertec made sweeping changes to their range. Poor performance during the GFC led to shake up of their range. They discarded many stand alone machines like the Pec Fly Rear Delt Machine. It was replaced with the pec fly accessory.
The Dip Machine Accessory didn’t directly replace a single station machine. It was added to enhance the appeal of their existing range. Although it was not wildly popular, it was well received by many a Powertec home trainer.
Pump Not Pecs
Personally I was not a massive fan of this attachment. I much preferred bodyweight dips that are performed on a traditional dip station. If you can’t do it with bodyweight then just use resistance bands. This way you are used to the movement and can build up to performing the exercise without assistance.
It was however a great way to get an insane pump, especially in the triceps. You could really use lighter weight and focus on your arms more than your chest.
As a side note, you could actually perform body weight dips on the Powertec Multi System

The Powertec Workbench Dip Machine Accessory (WB-DMA) will enable you to perform dips on your Powertec Workbench Gym Equipment.
Dips are one of the best upper body exercises around. But if you are starting weight training, or making a comeback, you may struggle to do this exercise with your body weight.
This great little attachment will let you get the benefits of dips as you build your strength and drop your body weight.
If you can already do dips, even with a weighted dip belt, the dip accessory can still be a useful tool. You can incorporate the exercise into a superset or circuit where the intensity or pace of the workout will mean bodyweight dips are out of the question.
Weights:The WB-DMA takes any Olympic Weight Plate. Weight Plates are sold separately. Powertec standard weight horns can be purchased separately if you already have standard or 30mm diameter hole plates.
