All that lat pulldown, cables, and boflex shit is great, but that stuff is for the gym.
$500 + so you can workout your lats isn't the most financially though-out decision. When the day comes your life situations impede you from working out, you're gonna bawl your eyes out at the fact that you have so much extravagant and unnecessary equipment lieing around your basement.
I'm not trying to attack you or anything because I can personally relate to this. Back when I was a kid, I really wanted to play basketball but was too lazy to walk all the way to the basketball court at my school just to play. So I made my parents spend a couple grand just to coat my grassy backyard with concrete. On top of that, I got my parents to spend another stack on the most expensive basketball hoop at the department store. I thought I was gonna play basketball every single day, but after a few months, I stopped playing. From then on, i had a hoop lieing there idly and a patch of uselss concrete that served no purpose whatsoever.
Since you bought your lat pull down already, just make good use of it and pray to god that you stick to working out. Because if you decide to resell it on craigslist, noone's gonna want a $500 lat pulldown machine when they can get a good set of freeweights... |
not sure how many more times I have to reiterate I always use the cable pulldown so itll be of use to me and once again you can work multiple muscle groups with it not just lats.
and it wasnt $500 thats msrp its was actually $330 shipped and im building a home gym so I no longer have to goto the gym. I already had a bench press and free weights at home before and never used them because I always chose to goto the gym.
I bought it to use it not sell it and honestly im not sure why you care so much. btw I was looking at a powertec lat machine on CL a couple of weeks ago but it sold before I could grab it so you're wrong.
