User Reviews about Powertec P-SS Shape System with Bench and Leg Lift

When I was looking into buying this machine, I looked everywhere for reviews & didn't find enough of them. So, I am adding a review to maybe help other people that might be looking at it, even though I actually bought it on a different site. I seriously love this machine, I finally canceled my gym membership & can work out at home. This thing is solid and handles heavy weights very well. Some of the cons I hear other people from other sites mention is that the sliders kind of stick, which I guess they do a little, but I sprayed a little silicon spray in them & it works great. The ONLY con I have really noticed is that the weight posts are close to the pins that you pull out to move the handles up & down. When I have 45 lb plates on it hits the pin as I lift up & down, it could have broken it off if I hadn't noticed first. So, I just put an extra weight collar on the post first, then the 45 lb plate. This spaces the plate out far enough to clear the pin. I hope people know what I'm talking about, I'm probably not explaining it well. Other than that, I love the way it works. I bought a squat harness for $38 that goes to a bowflex machine, it's a chest & shoulder harness that has two straps down the sides with clips. This clips right onto this machine & it works great for squats. Another complaint I heard was the range of motion. Maybe these were hulk sized guys, I'm not small at all & I think the range of motion is great for doing flys & everything else. I LOVE this thing, I'm so happy I got it. I don't see how anyone could be disappointed with it. -- Awesome machine

This system is great for a variety of exercises. The only downside is that I had to purchase 450lbs of weight to get the resistance up to the point I needed (I bench about 375).
If you want a versatile, cheap, and easily expandable home gym, buy this -- Great, but buy a ton of weight!

This type of machine is a must for any serious home bodyshaper that misses the exercises only cable crossover machines can offer. This is the best machine for the money. It handles a lot of weight and is very smooth. If you don't want to spend $1500 to $2000 on a good selectorized one than get this. You won't be disapointed. I'm 190lbs and bench over 315lbs and this machine handles heavy loads very well for all types of exercises. It's great for circuit training as well. Comes with 2 single handles a 24inch straight bar and a 36in. straight bar. -- awesome addition to a home gym
