LFJ LAT Pull Down and Lift Weight Pulley System Cable Machine Pulley Attachment for Triceps Pull Down, Biceps Curl, Back, Forearm, Shoulder Home Gym Equipment

I've been working out for 30 years at gyms. I decided to discontinue my membership this year due both to cost and the environment not really being suitable for me any more (mainly due to "influencers" and their filming themselves and the young self-absorbed women becoming intolerable) so one machine I was going to miss was the tricep pully-push-down machine that I've used since the 90's.I assumed I'd have to go to the local hardware store and just build this myself. Then it occurred to me to just try Amazon to see if they had something already made that I could just hang up with little to no assembly.And I found this. It was exactly what I needed.I've attached it to a main support beam in my house, which has worked perfectly. I had to add some additional steel clips to get it to fit around it correctly, but it worked.NOTE: I reversed the ends of the cable, as one of the video promotions here also shows; I put the end of the cable that we have to put the locking mechanisms (fasteners) on, on MY handle end, not on the weight end. REASON: I do not know what is under/in that ball, on the other end. Meaning, I don't know how strong/secure it is. At least this way if there is any slippage or breakage about to happen on the fastener end of the cable, I'll be able to see it immediately since I have the rope/grip right there in my hands. In my opinion, this is the safest way to operate it.I have tightened both the supplied locks/fasteners tightly and it hasn't slipped at all.The weight plates on the other end are close to the ground, and due to my low ceiling, I *do* have to bend my knees just a bit due to my (average) height to avoid the plates hitting the ground on my reps. A solution is of course to adjust the fasteners up the cable more, to shorten the cable length.But I've secured them so tightly, I don't want to re-loosen them. The one disadvantage is that if you're not measuring distances, you're eye-balling the distance the cable will offer you on the each end of your final set up. Mine was close enough that I need only bend my knees a little bit to get the full range of motion without the plates hitting the ground on each rep.VERY satisfied. It does exactly what I needed it to and the quality of the materials and overall design is plenty decent, and at a fair price. I need only 40lbs worth of plates at the bottom of the cable, so it's a small set up that works perfectly. Cheers to the creator of it, it mimics the gym pully the way I needed it to..

This thing works pretty well. Allows me to do some triceps push downs for a fairly inexpensive amount of cash. Pulley is smooth. For the cost, it was a decent purchase.

gr8 product.

I don't have the ceiling height for a full lat pulldown machine. All my workout stuff is in the basement with a drop ceiling. This solved that problem. Hooked it up to a strong hook from the local hardware store and was in business. I've had over 100 pounds on it without issue. My only complaint is that it sometimes swings during reps. I've had the plates hit my leg once or twice while doing overhead extensions. Other than that, it's almost perfect.

Works as advertised

It was very easy to set up and the instructions were very clear. It is exactly what it describes and worth the price. The quality exceeded my expectations.

Work great

Awesome product
