LFJFitness Cable Pulley System LAT Pulldown and Lift Cable Machine Home Gym Muscle Arm Strength Training Equipment

Great kit for my pull workouts. Does exactly what I wanted. The pulleys are nice and smooth. It’s a bit fiddly loading plates, but that’s to be expected.

I have been using this since April 2023. If you just want something to do high to low cable movements this is fantastic (as long as you have your own plates). This fits standard size plates so if you want to use olympic ones either purchase a pin for those or get a sleeve to add to the included one.I have this installed in my garage that I converted to a gym. I purchased a steel loop from B&Q that has a bolt on it. Drilled a hole in the wooden beams in the ceiling to fit the loop and hooked the pulley to that. Works a dream. One of the best things about it is how simple and cheap it is to purchase extras to enhance the system. I have recently bought a second steel loop on a bolt and a steel loop on a bracket as well as a second pulley and a second cable. I then put the second loop on a bolt to a different point in the ceiling so I can attach the second cable to the first one and the second pulley to the second loop and have a true vertical pull for lat pull downs (otherwise the weights would slam into you). I also attached the loop in a bracket to the wall lower down (about 3 bricks high from the floor). This way I can attached the second cable here and have low to high movements as well. So with all this I can get pretty much the full movements available on most cable machines for a much cheaper price. As well as this its really easy and cheap to replace any parts should they break.The other advantage is it takes up hardly any space and can just be moved out the way meaning you don't have to permanently take up space in your home gym like a large cable machine would.

Product works pretty well. I say to set up. Smooth movement and daily good quality. Only issue I had was that the steel cable was a little too short. And that’s using every mm of it I can. I’m 6 ft 4 so I needed the support higher. I have to load the weight then lift it to the cable to connect it as it’s not long enough. Other than that’s it’s decent

I did a lot of research as there seems to be a lot of these pulleys on the market. This one met the brief and I am very happy with the purchase. It does everything I need. I also bought a couple of other attachments which are compatible with her as well for a shoulder pulldown.

Buying a cable pulley system online can be a bit of minefield when there are so many variants available. Many are either thin strand cables or some a rope but most common of all is that none have the max capacity of this model which very welcoming is around 100kg. I have had a few of these cable pulleys but this model due to its overall build quality sits nicely there at the top in the list.The plastic-coated cable is as can be expected, smooth and noise-free too. The pulley solid as a rock so far, the cable rope rolls effortlessly through the range enabling smooth reps when performing a variety of exercises whether triceps extensions, pushdowns or face pulls and rope lat pulldowns. For me, the piece de resistance is the loading pin. This is where the strength is compared to all the other variants I have tried. It's solid enough to load close to the claimed 100kg, providing not using oversized plates.Carabiners are heavy duty so will withstand a hard life in my gym with no sign of failing. The test will be the small buckles as everything else is quality.The rope well the ubiquitous rope often a standard size and weight and this is no different, works perfectly for all those pulling and pushing exercises and as comfortable and easy to hold as can be in the hands.The only thing that I did have questions about at first was the hanging strap, well those questions were soon answered after the first session and having wrapped the strap around the pullup bar on the power rack, solid and easily can handle the weight I have added to the plate loading pin.Yes, it's more expensive than we shall the beginner's versions but the included components are a different standard and quality altogether and this enables a heavier weight to be used.

Easy to set up and works a treat. Only use it for the light weight stuff, triceps etc so can’t say how much weight it holds

Great item

This is an excellent pulley system and very well made for the price. Be aware of needing something to attach it to. Most ideally a bar of some kind. It sounds intuitive, but could catch some people out!Also, this is compatible with 1" weight plates, not 2" Olympic plates. Though I get around this by putting a 1" plate on first and then any 2" plates on top, so it's fine if you have a mix, just not if you only have 2" plates.The instructions are very strange and a little hard to understand. However, it's easy enough to put together and only took 5-10 minutes between unpacking and first use.
