Powertec
Leverage Gym Review
The
Powertec Leverage System Home Gym packs some serious
muscle building exercises into a reasonably compact work
area.
If
you've never heard of Powertec Home Gyms, you will
soon. I hadn't heard of them before about 4 years ago when
I was shopping for a leg press machine for my home gym.
I
researched all of the popular brands and models I had previous
experience with and then almost by accident stumbled across
the Powertec website.
I
was impressed to say the least, that explains why I bought
their leverage squat machine, and leverage bench press machine
to boot...
Anyway,
on to the Powertec Leverage System Gym review.
The
first thing you will notice about the Leverage System
is that it doesn't look like a traditional home gym. It's
black and yellow, it has weird lever arms on it, and it
doesn't have a weight stack attached to it.
But
don't be fooled by its' odd appearance, because that's where
the real genius of the Leverage system gym lies, you just
need to look a little deeper under the hood.
The
adjustable height lever arm on the gym replaces the use
of barbells making leverage a very safe and effective form
of strength training - great for people who train alone
o at odd hours and don't have a training partner.
You
can perform over 20 exercises on the Powertec Leverage
Gym. And not just 20 old exercises they could think up,
but 20 of the best exercises you can do to build muscle
like rows, bench press, full squats and dead lifts to name
a few...
The
gym comes standard with three lat accessory bars, a lever
arm and an optional arm curl attachment (don't really need
it, get a curl bar for $30 bucks instead).
The
frame is built of tough 3" heavy gauge tubular steel
and the seating surface is super density foam padding, just
like you'll find on the machines at the health club, so
you know it will take a beating.
The
only drawback to the Powertec Leverage System Gym
is that you'll have to supply your own Olympic weights,
but if you're serious about your strength training that
shouldn't be a big deal, as this gym is a relative steal
at under $800...
