The Powertec Workbench Series - Manufacturer Fact SheetThe Powertec Workbench has gained a very strong following of loyal customers. The engineers at Powertec were the first to develop and introduce plate loaded leverage equipment into the market in the early 1980’s. The concept and design was actually quite simple. Build a machine that duplicates the best traditional barbell and dumbbell exercises available. This was accomplished through precise lever arm specifications and fulcrum points. The key to the machines success is also the use of the weight plate loaded directly onto the moving lever thus providing the most natural form of pure, effective resistance through gravity. Plate loaded equipment combines the natural feel, gravity and resistance of the barbell while providing the user complete control and safety at all times. The perfect combination and the ultimate method of progressive strength training.
There are currently 3 models available in the Powertec Workbench series. They are the the Leverage Gym, the Multi-System and the Bench/Rack System.
