I have a TDS Lat Machine.
It has handled everything that I have given it without a problem. I like having the no switch low row too.

Hi, I bought a lat machine a couple of months ago from http://www.worldofhealthandleisure.co.uk/ it cost £165 with the shipping. I don't know if they ship outside of the UK.
This is a great piece of equipment and was worth every penny.

It looks solid. Is it a heavy machine? The only complaint I have about my Northern Lights model is that it's too light. When I'm doing heavy pulldowns sometimes I'll drive my feet into the ground for more power and as a result the entire machine lifts up and shifts. I'm looking for a bracket to secure it to the floor. Pain in the ass.Originally Posted by Biggerfoot

My Body solid had a sticker on it that said it needs to be fastened to the ground before using.

I will also give a vote for the Powertec lat machine. Quality dual sliders on the olympic plate loader and ball bearing pulleys. Most lat machines in its price range don't feature that at all. Super smooth.

It is solid and it has never swayed with over 300 pounds on it. The weight carriage sets real low so perhaps that is why it seems steady.Originally Posted by smokeater
