Gym owners and fitness experts agree that repeating just a few exercises day in and day out can do more harm than good. Stress injuries notwithstanding, such workouts also become boring. If you want to keep going on with your fitness program, variety helps. It ensures that groups of muscles get time to recuperate before you cycle over to them again.
Variety in workout regimens comes from the ability to use different kinds of machines and load outs. But this may not always be possible, especially in a home gym. Lat machines provide the best of both worlds by combining machines that allow for various kinds of exercises with the ability to expand by adding attachments. And among lat machines, Powertec rules the roost.
In truth, a lat machine is just a sturdy frame. What you get when you buy a lat machine is, for all intents and purposes, a lat attachment pre-installed on a frame designed to be expanded. Lat machines provide modularity in a market dominated by rigid and fixed machines. This makes Powertec Lat machines and attachments some of the most popular gym equipment for both professional and home gyms.
The value of a lat machine is determined by the kind of attachments you have. You need to buy attachments that offer the following three characteristics:
Compatibility: Not every lat attachment goes with every lat machine. Much like a child’s set of building blocks, you will need to ascertain that the lat attachment you choose fits the lat machine you own. Compatibility is listed clearly in the manual. If you are unsure, Powertec has a capable customer service department that will be happy to answer any questions you have.
Kinds of Exercises: It is best to choose attachments that allow for different types of exercises than what is possible with or from attachments you already own. The only valid exclusion to this is for professional gyms that are aiming for multiple simultaneous users instead of variety. For instance, a lat machine with multiple attachments of the same type lets several people do the same exercise without getting in each other’s way.
Accessories: Lat attachments do not usually come with all the accessories. This gives you room to use existing equipment you may already own like stack weights and seats. Always make a list of accessories you will need when buying lat attachments while also ensure accessory compatibility.
