It wasn’t until we had a spare Ironmaster Super Bench in the showroom that I decided to have a Ironmaster Cable Tower Attachment permanently set up on display. Whenever I have new pieces of gym equipment set up I always start playing around with them - especially in winter as it helps keep you warm in our freezing warehouse!

The more I started playing around with the Ironmaster Super Bench and Cable Tower combo the more I realised that this was just as good as a stand alone lat machine. I was surprised at how smooth it was, especially after hitting it with some silicone spray.

So I started trying it out with more weight and it was still silky smooth. There is no or little noticeable mechanical advantage so if you have 50kg on you are definitely lifting 50kg. Which is great because the one downside is that the Ironmaster Cable Tower Attachment is only rated for 100kg. But 100kg is very heavy for a seated row so most weight trainers won’t trouble the load rating.

This combo is also great for people who have standard weight plates and are thinking about the Powertec Power Rack. The Powertec Lat Tower Option only takes Olympic Weight Plates so this is a great way to save money instead of buying all new plates.

So if you are setting up a home gym and you have limited space and/or a limited budget then this combo deal is well worth looking at. You are getting some quality gym equipment that serves several functions plus it takes up very little space.Plus like all Ironmaster products you can always trick your gym equipment up - below are some optional extras in use. The Ironmaster Preacher Curl Pad and the Ironmaster Dockable Support allows you to do preacher curls.
