P WB-PR Powertec Workbench Power Rack
If you have been researching power racks online for a while you are probably confused as hell!
Everyone reckons their power rack is the best. There are wild claims about being commercial quality, and it seems all the racks can hold over 2,000kgs. It all sounds to good to be true…
The good thing about selling Powertec products is that we don’t need to make any wild claims. This power rack has been sold around the world for over ten years. Its track record has been proven. You can see it for yourself right here as Mike squats 210kgs, and the cage holds the weight with ease.
An affordable power rack for the serious weight trainer
The Powertec Power Rack is the ultimate free weight training set up for the serious weight trainer. This simple yet heavy duty power rack allows you to perform all the great free weight training movements with complete safety.
Training safely is one of the greatest concerns for people training with free weights, especially at home. Some gym equipment manufacturers have capitalized on this fear by coming up with complicated and expensive systems that allow you to train safely. These systems are great but Powertec have made the safety issue a lot simpler and much more affordable.
We got Mr Universe, Lee Priest, to demonstrate just some of the exercises you can do on this type of set up at home.
A flexible, adjustable weight lifting cage
The Powertec Power Rack has adjustable spotter bars that can be moved into different positions for different exercises. For example for bench press you set them just below your chest line in your pressing position. You can still bench press with a full range of motion, hitting the chest, but if you can?t make that last rep you just simply rest the bar down onto the spotter bars.
Just like the rack, they are rated to 450kgs so they are rock solid. It is great for squatting too. Just set the bars below your bottom point. You can squat until you drop! The holes for the spotter bars on the Powertec Power Cage are only 4cm apart so they can be adjusted to accommodate all shapes and sizes.
The Powertec Power Rack comes standard with chin up bars and adjustable dip handles. The dip handles are angled which is great for taking the strain off the shoulders and allowing you to lean forward and blast the chest muscles.
The Powertec Power Cage is very popular in the US and has earned a reputation as a great value set up for the serious weight trainer. This design has been sold for years in the States which is the toughest market of all. So if you are after something to really build some serious strength and muscle choose a unit that has stood the test of time.
