Underrated video series & channel in general. 👌
Thank you so much!
I agree. He shows a lot of useful hacks that don’t cost much.
Love your stuff. Can you please direct me to the video where you use the squat bar to lean your thigh against while using the powertec workbench low cable to do standing leg curls.Thanks
Thanks so much. That was Levergym Hacks 3 and 5.
Buen video 👍
Thank you!
Makes me wish I bought a Powertec. And this series is great. Definitely a lot of great hacks, and creative tools to add to the repertoire
Thank you so much! It’s never too late to get the Levergym! 😎
You have the best hacks! Pretty cool the modifications you're able to do with bands and stall mats.
Thank you!
You should buy a mic kit to do videos. Good investment.
@@ghyslainhubert139 yeah, my sound wasn’t great in these older videos. I have a mic in my newer videos and I’m now on Powertec Levergym Hacks 7. Unfortunately, my garage ceiling is so high, there’s still a little echo.
Have you tried using the low cables in conjunction with the handles to do weighted push-ups?
You'd need some form of chest harness to hook up to the pulley.
I have not tried that, but it sounds like an awesome idea! Thank you!
No way you can keep your rubber bands
Wow you did a belt squat hack. That’s an expensive exercise normally!
It’s okay at best. I don’t think it’s a long-term replacement for a belt squat, but it could hold someone over until they get one.
Do you have any idea what the name is of the bar that you doing the leg press on? I've tried to ask powertec but they had no idea about what I was talking about. Really looking to purchase one. Great hacks buy the way.
Thanks so much! That’s the squat bar that comes with the Levergym.
Hello, how do you hit the chest correctly with the chest press on this machine? How exactly do I have to lie on the bench? Where does the chest have to be? At what height?
Flat press is a little tricky because of how high the arms attach. For incline, I normally have the handles lined up with my upper chest and about an inch away from touching.
Can you do a floor chest press with these?
@@benmulleady7266 not using the lever arms. I show a hack using dumbbells and daisy chains in Part 7.
For tleg training, is that a Lever Arm Straight Bar in the video 5:00min?
It’s the squat bar that comes standard with all Levergyms.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews Not for ATX Triplex Station. Too bad. I have an ATX triplex station. This is not included.
@@torstenferber5639 interesting…because there are so many similarities between the two.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews You also can not buy them anywhere
@@torstenferber5639 you are right. When I had one of the old multi-presses, I wanted to buy the bar for close grip work, but they are not sold individually.
i dont no who has a better garage set-up...u r Cooper...haha...
lol! Thank you!
Love your videos , wanted to know if you could recommend some good squat wedges to use with the leverage gym

@@HomeGymHacksandReviews thanks
@@jamesdingess9988 anytime!
What is the length of the daisy chains?
Just shy of 4’
I posted a new RUclips Short today with a couple of good chest press variations using the daisy chains.
👍
Very inspiring! Cool Hacks, thank you!
I really appreciate that!
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews Well earned. The Levergym is on my to buy list, the "swiss pocket knife" of exercise...
Watch powertec began to make attachments that you can do some of these exercise's..
Hahahaha!!
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews Na man seriously a bought the same exact one when I moved to Florida from New York kept watching your videos influenced me to get one best investment I made in a long time
@@lamarmorgan9937 that is awesome to hear!
Agree thx for another Video i give you a Abo and can you Tell ne what Bench you are using
Thank you! The red bench is about 30 years old and I don’t know what brand it is. It may even be an exceptionally well made DIY.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews OK THX man
all those things together look like a trap in a SAW movie..lol..its fun figuring out all the different things you can do with limited equipment..good video dude!
lol! Thank you! Agreed.
That leg press hack is exactly what I needed. Thought I might have to get the attachment piece, or the machine itself. Just perfect man. Thanks!
Thank you! You may still want to get one or the other, especially if you’re relatively strong. I don’t think this hack is a long term replacement for a leg press.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews I'm not strong and my left leg is much weaker than the right. This is one of the best exercises you can do with a single leg. I can see how it's not ideal if you are pushing hundreds of pounds. But it's perfect for what I need right now. The levergym is an extremely valuable machine and your hacks enhance it even more!
@@TheDailyGold I’m really glad to hear some of the hacks have been helpful for your training!
oooooooh ... Range of motion selector...thats what these extra parts i have are!!!!! thanks
lol! They make a big difference. Glad to the video helped.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews that part may or may not have been in the instructions. Thanks for these videos. stoked to get started with my new levergym
@@LAXGators I don’t think it’s in the instructions. Congratulations on the Levergym! You have one of the most versatile home gym machines available.
I’m purchasing a used 2011 model next Saturday. It’s a crazy deal (800 dollars CDN). I’ll save 1300 dollars. Am I going to regret having this version where the arms don’t move independently and only 7 adjustable pin points? Or is that sacrifice worth the savings.
That is a good deal and a considerable amount of savings. I don’t think you will regret this version. You may need to use some of the hacks I show in this video to adjust the height of the bench if the existing arm settings don’t fit you. Also, it may be more difficult to get a full ROM for a chest supported row using the arms because the plate posts aren’t removable.
If nothing else, this is a good chance to try the Levergym. If you like it a lot and want to upgrade, you can sell this one and put the money towards a new one.
TODAY SAW UR VIDEO EXCELLENT UR GENIUS.I BOUGHT POWERTEC LEVERGYM IN 2018 .IAM AMAZED SEEING YOUR VIDEOS OF USING THE LEVERGYM PROPERLY.THANKS A LOT FOR UR INFORMATION
Thank you so much for your kind words! I am really glad to hear the video was helpful!
What is the True floor footprint needed for the machine? With the bench and without using the bench attached? I do assume that you can remove the bench ? Just a follow up question; Lat PULLDOWN’s and Low Rows and Arm curls are able to be done with the machine? Thanks
About 7’ x 6’ - this gives you room to load the weight horns and account for the pulldown arm swinging up. On the newer models, yes, the bench can be removed. And yes, all of those exercises can be done.
What size are you cutting your stall mats?
I’ll give it a measure when I get home (can’t remember off the top of my head). However, I think I mention it in my Top 10 Hacks and DIY video.
8” x 16”
Dude your hacks videos convinced me to look into getting a leverr gym. Genius level stuff to me!
Thanks so much. Since this video, I’ve made Parts 5-7; which may be worth checking out if you haven’t seen them.
I just installed the levergym but didn’t manage to install the range of motion selectors because the instructions aren’t there not sure if it is just an older instructions booklet .. any tips? Haha
Hey! Very glad to hear you got one! Correct, it was not listed in my instructional manual over a year ago as it is a new add-on. It should be 4 bolts that go directly into the frame of the machine.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews awesome just installed that now…still have two bolts left over but I’m assuming that is from the side handles on the seat for the workbench …i didnt install that cuz I think it kinda gets in the way of my legs thanks for your help !
@@aynrandfan7454 glad to help and glad you got everything put together. Yes, the 2 extra bolts are for the handles.
You did it again hacky! I have two suggestions: for your european viewers like myself: mention not only in inches, but also in cm. The other one is: you are talking in two different speeds: the slower one is perfect. The faster is to fast. Keep up the great work 👍💪
Thank you! I’ll try to work on talking slower, lol! I’ll also try to add cm. I’ve already finished my next review, so I’ll try to include it in the one after that. I appreciate your support!
Thanks for the video. Question: on the Powertec Site it shows many attachments for this machine! Which ones if any are you using in this video ?
In this video, I’m only using the footplate / low row attachment. The squat bar comes with the machine.
Price?
$1599
Magnifique !
Thank you!!!
Great 4-part series! How about a video on daisy chain strap - why use it, how to use it most effectively, exercises its good for, etc.
Thank you! They show up a few times in my Rogue Rhino, Levergym Hacks 2, and Titan Loading Pin videos. I think they are also in my Powertec Preacher Attachment video for an exercise or two.
Great stuff as always! And thanks for the mention! -AJ
Thank you, AJ!
Great video, Hacky! Loved the leg press hack!
I really appreciate it! Thank you!
Hola brother podrías pasar la medidas planos de esa maquina ? Gracias
Dimensions (L x W x H): 81.4" x 57.5" x 81.7" (inches)
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews bro vendeme los planos plis......
@@luisalbertohernandezsosa6823 Powertec is the manufacturer of this machine.
Glad to see you doing more of these, for the high pulley row I removed the squat pad from the bar that connects between the lever arms, I then fit a wider hip thruster pad to the bar, I then set the bar so it holds me down at my waist while sitting on the bench, I then slot a second pin in the slot above the lever arms to prevent the arms moving up, this holds me down for doing high pulley rows.
Thank you! Yeah, I thought about rigging something up with the squat bar for this exercise, but this saved me a little time. I did this exercise all the time when I had the high / low pulley attached to the Powertec Power Rack. I just braced the back of my legs against the black piece that covers the guide rods. It was awesome when I didn’t have very much equipment.
Great video bro, thanks!
Thank you!
Great video! The least Powertec could do is send you a free t-shirt😁...i tried the leg press idea once and it slid off a racked my knees!!..i just bought the attachment instead.
Thank you! I’ll upload another review later this week…Powertec did better than sending me a t-shirt!
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews lol..hmm no comment😁
Just picked up a used power tech leverage. It does not have the 4 raised legs that it sits on. It might be a version before that where it was more flat on the base? The safety pin has 3 holes vs the one I see sold today which has one hole. The safe pin and the pull pin are chrome , not black like todays version. It is all black and says power tech leverage. I might want to upgrade the pin that you push in to use it because i do not feel secure since when it is pulled out the squat rail does not catch on it very much for me to feel comfortable. Any input on this?
I would need to see it to be sure, but the squat bar should be fine. You could contact Powertec and ask if they can sell a replacement squat bar, but because it’s an older model Levergym, they may not…worth a try though.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews Is it possible to replace the bushing that the squat pin slides into? I am looking into it now but i would like to either make a replacement pin or replace the bushing inside the hole and that would make me happy.
]
I have never heard of anyone doing that, but I’m sure it’s possible.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews Ok, i see the issue now, the bushing is pre installed and pre welded at the company before it is painted and sold. The pins are fine. I need to contact powertec to see if they can sell me a new 53 inch pc that has the pre installed bushing in. That i can see has tearing on one side where it has torn away from the tube on the inside looking in when removing the top plastic cap. If i cannot buy one i can reinforce mine by taking it to work and carefully adding to the weld area......
@@danielengel1295 I hope they can take care of it for you.
Hi dude! See you really rate the powertec equipment. Has Ironmaster ever been an interest to you? Tried it? I’ve got the super bench abs dumbbells and really rate their suff. But machine wise I’m torn between the IM2000 shelf spotting machine and Powertec leverage gym.
I have not tried it, but I have heard excellent things about. It’s very versatile.
I wish I could be of more help and tell you, definitively, one is better than the other.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews appreciate your reply 😊 yeah I’m limited on space so really for me it’s a one machine that does it all kind of thing. Bonus to the IM2000 is that you can have it as a rack with jcups and spotter arms. I do love the look of the powertec though because it reminds me of hammer strength style equipment for home use.
You’re welcome. It really is a tough call. Both have the high / low pulley. However, with the Powertec you can sit on the end of your bench for pulldowns; while with the IM, it looks like you have to sit on the floor (maybe without a way to lock your legs down). I would rather have the lever arms than a smith machine; however, like you said, there is the added benefit of barbell work with the IM. Definitely a tough call.
Hey. Great video. Do you have a training plan for me as a beginner who bought this machine?
Thanks so much! Check out my 3 Part Push, Pull, Legs Routine / Series using the only the Levergym
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews Hello, can anyone recommend a good lat pull handle and rowing handle for my ATX triplex station? What do you use?
@@torstenferber5639 i have like HGHR the Ultimate row handle by iron master, a D handle like gym pin large with a lot of holes and angles 90 and also a pair of normal rotary handles! All this with some chains and rope must have!
Great video!!
Thank you!
Part 5 lets gooo
I have considered it. I have come up with a few new hacks, which I’ve shown here and there, but I haven’t combined them into one video. I will definitely add a Part 5 if / when I think I have enough material for a full video. Thanks so much!
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews yeah I'm doing like 10 different new Hacks on my own too that I haven't found in any of your videos...theres so much more Hacks u can do for great content well be waiting 👍
@@lalalalalala8314 very cool. The Levergym is by far the most hackable machine there is. The IM 2000 comes in a close second.
amazing stuff
Thank you!
Sir i want part 1 and 2 plz reupload bcoz for some issues i am not able to see that videos of urs
I just double checked and those videos are up. I’m not sure why you’re not seeing them on your end.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews sir literally screen get blacked whenever i try to watch those video
I’m not sure why. I just had someone check from a different account and a different device and they just watched Part 1 all the way through.
These videos have made having my own leverage gym so much better. I don’t have a power tech but something similar but these are so helpful. Especially the stall mat hack for benching.
That is really good to hear. I hope you’ve had a chance to check out Levergym Hacks Part 5 with a little better production quality.
@@HomeGymHacksandReviews I’ll do that for sure. Honestly it would take me forever to figure some of these moves out. So the value of your hacks are incredible.
@@ronburgandy3339 I sincerely appreciate that. Thank you.
