Home gym reviews written by current owners are generally satisfied with their purchase of this simple Powertec system. For one thing, the Workbench Rack is easy to assemble and very stable. The bench is easily removed and rolled away by disengaging the popper pin allowing you to work with the bench away from the rack to do dumbbell exercises, crunches, etc. The rack frame has a 10-degree angle and comes with a large sliding J-hook that adjusts quickly and easily.

Our Take

The Powertec Workbench is a squat rack system that doesn’t forget your lower body; it comes with a leg extension attachment incorporated into the advanced bench design. In addition, you can also opt to get the arm curl attachment that uses the innovated design of loading a plate directly onto a lever arm. The arm pad is adjustable to three angles giving you a variety of ways to hit the biceps and forearms. You can purchase the Powertec Workbench Rack System for around $590 which makes it a good buy. We advise that you purchase the Lat Tower at the same time to expand the utility of this unit.
