[Hortonized]

If anyone in the New Haven, Connecticut area is looking for a cheap Powetec multi station, there is one listed on Craigslist. Obviously, its under New Haven under the sporting column. They are asking $400.00 bucks and that comes with weights from what the person is stating in their ad.

This is the ad information in the listing:

3 station plate loaded leverage gym that includes the weights which are usually not sold with the gym!! already disassembled. Originally $999 but selling for $400. If interested please e-mail or call 203-248-9817. Thanks!

I would jump on this thing in a second but my basement is not big enough
...... Can't beat the price that is for sure.

Just listed on 1-19-09.

Wow, that's a hell of a lot of machine for $400.00. Somebody's going to score big time!

Im buying the workbench and a weight set for 225 this weekend I finally found one. Ive been looking for almost a year trying to get one for under 400. And this one doesnt have a scratch on it.

Couldnt wait I picked it up last night. And just figured out how to do vertical leg presses with it.

Ha. We need to start a WB-MS Crew? Picking Mine up Tomorrow. $500.00 and only a couple months old.

Mines the WB-LS I liked it more than the bigger one or I probably would be heading to Connecticut.

Please excuse my ignorance, but what's the benefit of these compared to just using free weights?

Provided you buy a rack for your free weights then there's probably no extra benefit, it's just different tool to get results. I've got the WB-LS, live in the country, so the safety of leverage lifting was the selling point to me.

Free weights, leverage, both still require the hard work.

Damn, too slow . I wish my item would sell quicker, I really could use the cash.

How are you going to do leg press? Vertical? Lay on the floor and press up? What are you using to put over the base of the unit where the bench is attached. I have been trying to figure out if I need to build something out of 2x4's and plywood to fit over it. Post some pics!!!

Laying on the bench with the squat bar on you can do leg presses I just set the bench at a slight angle and had my wife pull the pin.

Ok. What direction are you facing? Are you on the bench in the normal position or are you facing the machine?

[PullBig]

I face the machine. I just figured out I have a older model of the machine if that makes any difference. But it seems to work pretty well. I threw 450 on it last night and did some reps it wasn's bad but the machine is a little shaky with that much weight. I cant believe some sites claim this thing is rates for 1000 lol what a joke.

1000 pounds on the press arm Yea. http://www.home-gym-review.com/Power...ym-(WB-LS).htm

I will try that out.

I think at one time Powertec did rate the press arm for 1000lbs. They now rate it at 500lbs on their website. Either way, it is more weight that I will ever use.

Thanks for the tip on the leg press!

That is the only one where the pic is identical to mine and it has the rating at 1000? Now im going to have to see if it will make a decent leg press or if the squat bar is going to crumble. I have 22 45 plates now this may be interesting.

take vid! i've never seen a piece of equipment break. good luck

I dont really want to break it yet but this thing is good for the ego. My max bench is 245 and I just did 320 after 3 warm up sets wtf. I like this thing but only so much of it is going to carry over to the barbell. I hope the shoulder press carries over. I think if I widen the stance and use the handles rather than the squat bar it would not break.
