Powertec equipment - limitations?

[DWhealthy]

In regards to their Leverage machines such as:

Leverage Lat pull/tricep
Squat/Calf
Trow/shrug
Pec/Delt

Being 6'4", I wanted to ensure I could use these machine comfortably. Are there any tall people here that used some of their leverage units?



Thanks.

Take a look at the Body Solid leverage machine. It's more robust and durable for a little bit more dough.

At 6'4" I guarantee that you'd hate the leverage squat/calf. I'm 5'11" and the starting position for calf work is MUCH too low. The machine needs to be redesigned so the starting position can be made higher for taller users.

X2 on both counts.

The squat/calf I'll probably just use a barbell then.
Would being 6'4" hamper me from using the other machines effectively?

Powertec is made for average sized individuals.

I bought their lat machine and I couldn't get even near a full stretch on the damn thing.

I hated my squat/calf from PTec...I had to squat way, way down just to get under the damn thing. Even if you have it set on its highest bar-stop, you still have to get way down to get under it. I'm 6'3, by the by.

I'll have a new Leg Sled from them sometime in the next 1-4 weeks depending on shipping, I'll let you know how that measures up. And I have their MaxiCrunch machine, which is totally awesome and fits me perfectly.
