Amazon.com Product Description
Combining more than 20 of the best free-weight exercises into a single convenient machine, the Powertec WB-LS workbench leverage gym is a must for the serious workout enthusiast. The WB-LS is built around a standard bench with a lever arm that replaces the barbell, making this the safest and most effective method of resistance training available. The high/low cable system and leg extension/leg curl stations, meanwhile, address such muscle groups as the shoulders, back, triceps, hamstrings, quads, and more. Finally, the WB-LS incorporates a patented linkage seat section that's mounted on an axis, allowing you to switch the seat to several different positions or pivot it out of the way for power movements, such as squats and rows. The WB-LS workbench leverage gym, which is compatible with an optional arm curl machine, measures 56 by 82 by 80 inches (W x H x D) and carries the following warranties: lifetime on the frame, two years on component parts (such as bearings and spring pins), and one year on pads and grips. All plates are sold separately. Specifications: - Model: WB-LS

First,I would like to say, if you want a machine that can hold the weight load, and take the abuse this is the machine to have. You don't have to have a spotter,and you can train heavy with confidence, without thinking about the weight falling on you. It's built with heavy guage steel that makes, this machine strong and durable. You can do all of your compound movement exercises that really builds muscle,and mass, and many more exercises for isolation. This is the way to go!!!
best weight bench I have owned October 11, 2008
This leverage weight bench is the best.
I have looked at Sears, and several other stores, and nothing they sell comes even close to this equipment.
It came in three boxes, with the heavest one at right over 125lbs.and bulky, so you will need someone to help get it in the house if you have stairs, or as I did use a appliance two wheeler.
If you are not wanting to spend the money for professional equipment this is very close for a good bit less money.
Just what you need!! October 8, 2008
This machine is just what you need when you cant or just don't want to go to the gym. You can get multiple excellent workouts with this machine. The only draw back is the directions on putting it together. Its not bad but your basically looking at a picture with the parts stretched away from the machine. Do not let that deter you the good far out weighs this little prob.
Great Gym September 16, 2008
This is a great Gym for anyone with limited space and a good back(for lifting all the weights everytime you change exercises). It takes a while to put together but it looks cool and works great.
What a home gym should be June 28, 2008

By far the best home gym. I have had the crossbows, bowflex, and others. Nothing compares to the Powertec home gym. When you max out your bows and bands and it tells you that you are benching 280, and you know that's not possible, it's time to move up to heavier duty equipment.
This latest version seems to be about as perfect as can be, they added a little handlebar below the bench to grab while you lie on your stomach and do hamstring curls. And you can do pull ups too.
The gym was easy to put together. Grab a sharpie and label all the bolts, nuts, screws, washers before you start, or it may get confusing. It takes about 4 hours to put together by yourself. I had to go back and remove a few bolts, and exchange them for different ones, because I didn't label them. Otherwise, it would have taken only 3 hours. But it was a joy to watch this monster come together in the basement.
Most of it is already put together and you just have to piece it together. If you ever have to move, it can easily be disassembled into 3 main parts and will be easy to move.
The chest exercises are easy to do. Incline, decline, flat bench all feel about right. The bench is a little higher off the ground than normal, so in decline, your legs may just dangle, unless you are taller.
The lat pull down works well. Great motion. Awesome pulley. Probably one of the smoothest, most perfect pulley motions you are going to find. Great for bicep curls, tricep push downs and more.
You can also actually do real squats. Swivel the bench around, attach the attachment, and you can do serious real squats. All of this without the need for a spotter.
Also, it doesn't take up as much space as I originally thought. It fit in a normal 8 foot basement, with plenty of space overhead. Not sure I believe it is actually 7.5 feet tall.
One dumb issue, on the sides it has two poles that you can stack weights on as a storage area. You can store extra weight here. Well, they are held on pretty loosely with a small bolt. And if you screw the bolt in too tight, it strips, and then it is loose. That part actually sucked.
Poweretc service department is great, if you have any missing parts, they respond quickly and send them out.
Great product overall, very well built. It has a lifetime warranty, and it's obvious why.
