Lat Machine

Very happy

I liked the silent operation ... however i blew up a bearing after taking roads going animal at it with 45kg on the lat pull down.Not bad.for the money but don't over do it

Is what you see, a basic pulley kit - just be realistic with what you want to do and at what angles.The straight handle is fused to pulley cord and that's fine but if the internal balance starts to go one might be stuck with a problem, I'm hoping it holds up...I had a larger loading pin on hand to substitute for the slightly dinky one included and hung the whole thing off my pull up bar, I've been very happy doing push downs and a few wrist/shoulder exercises. You can be too!

Quite flimsy. Doesn’t feel like it will take anywhere near the weight stated in the description. I put 30kg on it, and the rope stretches when you lift - doesn’t inspire confidence.[ UPDATE ] The vendor contacted me after I posted this review and sent me a replacement free of charge. The rope in the replacement certainly has a lot less flex than the original, which is a little more confidence-inspiring, but I wouldn't be comfortable using it to lift more than 30kg.I've added an extra star for exceptional customer service from the vendor.

**Update edit at bottom**Brilliant! I don't have space for a lot of equipment at home. I hang this from my doorway pullup bar which has opened up so many new exercises for my back and triceps. Takes seconds to attach and detach for storage. I've only had 50kg on it so far but it seems very robust and is rated a lot higher. The pull down bar cannot be removed from the rope, but its easy to tie in other attachments. Brilliant product, especially if short of space.*Update* One of the bearing races failed inside the pulley wheel causing the wheel to seize. Its simple to disassemble the pulley with two Hex Keys. The bearing races are 608 ZZ skateboard bearings, cheap and easy to replace.

Recommended originally, unfortunately the rope snapped. Very suprising but no injury. Believe it may have worn away against the metal hole, not sure. Have repaired myself with another piece of string above the knot i have tied. This should prevent wearing on the main rope. However i will not use a heavy weight in future will have to favour higher rep range on the grounds of safety. This could be an issue needs something like a rubber/plastic tube around rope to protect from wearing. cannot recommend until this is rectified.

Good bit of kit. Arrived in good time. Would be useful if the base plate was a it wider to acccpmodate Olympic sized plates and the stem of the base plate longer so you can attach more plates and still connect the carabina to it. Overall very pleased, a good addition to any home gym.

Very good, I've put 15kgs on it to start, will probably go higher, the rope is little longer but it all works great, would recommend.
