I bought a Golds Gym XR35 system this weekend and wouldn't recommend it.
It has a lat attachment that is built into the rack but it only handles 200 pounds on the weight carriage so I returned it .
Nice setup if you don't want to lift heavy weights.
- lats hi/low
- preacher curl attachment
- leg curl/extensions
- moveable decline/incline bench
- rack setup where you could use it to bench/squat
All for $200 maybe that why it would only handle 200 lbs on the back exercises

The rep told me 300 lb. on the "lat attachment". So did another company I called that carries this equipment.
I'm not sure where he heard 200 lbs. ??
I would think 200lbs. would be enough, but if it's 300 then that's even better........

There's not too many. I believe it's new for this year but, here's a link to one site with several pics.

It was listed in the manual that came with the setup.
I do more exercises than just tri pushdowns with the lat attachment.
If you want to use light weights its a good buy. But with the weight I push around this would not work for me.
When I put 200 pounds on the lat machine it looked like it was going to break.
Believe who you want but I spent a good 2 to 3 hours assembling it and tried it out for a couple of days so I guess you could say I have "first hand experience" with this piece of equipment.
Go ahead and buy it I am just giving my opinion.Quality Beef one Day at a time

I went and had the employee pull the manual. Purpleone was correct! Apparently the manufacturer and a sales rep were both giving out wrong information!
So I thought I'd pass along the spec's for anyone who might be interested.
Max. Weight states-
User: 250 lbs.
Weight Rests: 310 lbs.
Max total: 560
Carriage Weight (lat); 200 lbs.
Leg Lever: 150 lbs.
Overall Dimensions:
84"H. x 67"W. x 75"D.
Still wondering if this is a decent piece of equipment or not.....anybody have any comments???
