Powertech- R.I.P.
It’s the end of an era…. albeit a brief era, 5 years. I’ve sold my Powertech Workbench gym. (see the photo in my gallery) It’s not that the gym wasn’t effective and useful, I just grew kind of bored with the same old routine of exercises. I did okay though, I sold it for only $200 less than I paid for it 5 years ago. And that $$ is now the down payment on my NEW gym! I’ve ordered a Keyes fitness 1/2 cage with a smith machine, lat tower and lower cable (plate loaded). The utility bench I’ve ordered to go with it is a flat/ incline bench with leg extension/ curl attachment. And the cool thing about this bench is that it comes set up with cables and pulleys so that it can be attached to the low cable of the lat tower so the weight moved is on the tower instead of out on the leg attachment. I’m very excited about the new gym and eagerly awaiting delivery and assembly. Yes, I cheesed out and am paying to have it assembled. Time is money as they say, and running my business and caring for my two boys takes up way too much valuable time to give up a Saturday bolting the bad boy together. Plus, the gym store will be responsible if there are any problems. I look forward to posting about my new (and hopefully improved) workouts and gains! For now, while I await my new rack, I’m training with a piece of laminated beam over two 5 gallon buckets as my bench. It’s fun to go all cave- man sometimes.

Lucky bastard!! I still have the same equipment I got back in highschool back in 1989!! Plus i am missing half the pegs so I can not make the bench incline. But going caveman with rocks and what I can do at times is cool also.
