lat pull down machine

[t3c]

i was thinking about this machine:

me and my brother both like it and are planning on splitting the cost...providing its a decent machine

it has up to 500lb weight capacity, i can do lats, tri push downs, rows, pullthroughs with it

what do you guys think? is it worth the money? has anyone has experience with this company before? or this site?

thanks in advance

Bro -

IMO - don't do it.. You could do bent over barbell rows instead or chins with a chin bar in you doorway. If you can't do a full chin yet, buy a jump stretch band and hang it from the chin bar to assist you in the lift.

Also - I do my pull thru's with a jumpstretch band attached to the foundation pole in my basement!
As far as Tricep Pushdowns, do Dips instead.

IMO - vital components - Barbell, dumbell, weights, bench, power rack. You can do everything you need with them
