WB-LTA Powertec Lat Tower Accessory
The Powertec Lat Tower Accessory was a handy piece of kit. Considering it’s price at the time of it’s release as well it’s compact footprint it was nice addition to a Powertec gym. The design was simple and the build was robust.
If you owned a Powertec Multi System it addressed a common issue some lifters had with that leverage multi gym. The leverage lat pulldown was not everybody’s cup of tea. Being able to dock the Powertec Lat Tower Accessory allowed people to perform their favourite high and low pulley exercises.
Original Powertec Lat Tower Accessory Listing
The Powertec Workbench Lat Tower Accessory can add valuable training variety to your favourite Powertec Workbench Machine. You will see from the specifications and features, that this accessory offers more than many run of the mill stand alone lat machines.
- Heavy duty solid construction – made from the same materials as the Powertec range. Genuine 300lbs weight load capacity. With a 1:1 weight ratio (you don’t get a mechanical advantage), it will be more challenging than a lot of commercial lat pulldown machines.
- Industrial Pulleys and Cables – the same that are used on the Powertec Lat Machine. The pulleys are bearing driven, with reinforced design. The cables are aircraft quality.
- Foam rollers with vinyl covers to anchor your legs when doing heavy pulldowns.
- Removable foot plate to position your feet when doing seated rows.
- Nylon bushes combined with chromed guide rail provide super smooth movement even under the heaviest loads.
- Wide lat pulldown bar, small flat bar with revolving handles and Olympic weight collars included free.
- Can be used with standard weight plates. Optional standard weight horns can be purchased separately.
- Lifetime structural warranty.
As Good as the Standalone Lat Machine
In my opinion, this is one of the most valuable pieces of equipment in the Powertec range. Particularly if you are a Powertec Multi System owner. The addition of a quality high and low pulley to an already great machine, makes the Multi System the best multi gym in the world (in my highly biased opinion). To demonstrate, I put together this video.
There are many other exercises and variations you can do with the attachment, so for the money, there isn’t much else out there that can make such a difference to your workout for the price. Even on the Multi Press or Olympic Bench Press, it will give you a complete upper body home gym, in a compact footprint.
Now the first thing people think when they see a lat attachment is that it can’t possibly be as good as a stand alone lat pulldown. Especially when you see some of the terrible ones offered on those cheap and nasty bench presses. Like all Powertec machines, this unit has been designed for serious training. But don’t take my word, this is what one of our great customers Dave had to say – Powertec Workbench Lat Tower Accessory Review – it sure can handle some weight!
This accessory has made such an impression on some of our customers, that they have actually purchased a separate Powertec Utility Bench just to permanently dock the lat accessory. Proof it is as good as a stand alone machine.
