Dang nice video man. I had no idea one could do so many workouts with this. Now I'm hooked. Have to set aside the pennies to get one maybe on black friday. I got tired just watching you 😂. Well done.
How's the friction on the cables? I bought and setup a Valor DB62 and the friction is just horrible. There's almost no eccentric force and the force to lift the weights is insane due to the friction. I already have the Ironmaster bench and some other accessories, wondering if I should get this instead. Thanks!
Thanks for the video. Ended up purchasing from Ironmaster since I felt limited with just the bench and DBs. Just wondering though, where did you purchase all your attachables like the straight bar, rope and row bar etc?
Not that this is advised but is it feasible to use the low row without the bench attached for saving space? I wondered how unstable the movememt felt without the counter leverage of the bench. Thanks!
One question, is the weight ratio changed to 2:1 when using the low handler? I know the high handler is 1:1, but the low one I'm not so sure....physics knowledge already blurred...
Great video! Some people who have used the Cable Tower V2 have commented that it is not tall enough for full ROM on lat pull downs for people with long torsos or arms. What is the distance between the bottom of the lat pull bar and the top of the seat (or top of the bench if you don't have a seat)? Thanks.
Its probably because they have the super bench which is about 21 inches from the ground. I have it along with the v2 tower and its exactly that high as far as mine goes. Im 5'10 and its more than enough for me.The pro bench thats shown in this video is about 17 inches off the ground. So getting the pro bench will get you 4 inches more play.
@@DoritosResidue Thanks for your response. I already have a bench from outside the Ironmaster universe, so I would prefer to get the seat attachment rather than one of the superbenches. The seat is the same height as the original super bench, so it is more like 20 or 21 inches high. I am just under 6'0" with arms that are slightly longer than usual. Do you think that the extra five or six inches (three or four inches of additional height of the seat plus two inches of additional height of me) will eliminate resistance at the beginning/top of the lat pull? From your video, it looks like it will be close. I appreciate your thoughts on this. Thanks.
I’m 6 feet tall and have no problem with full range of motion although I do have the super bench pro. I am planning on getting the seat attachment once it’s available and will let you know if i still have the full range of motion with it.
I have the seat also . I just measured it and its 1 inch shorter in height compared to my super bench. Its not as stable as using the bench for the v2 tower. But very little wobble. I just keep it attached to the hyper extension attachment. Hope that helps
@@jcard959I'm not sure the seat fit the v2 tower with adaptor that makes the connection lower for the pro bench....I looked at my seat and there's no way to make it lower. Maybe there's an adapter?
@@jcard959 got it! Thanks for the response. I have the bench and have been thinking about the tower. As for the attachments you mentioned, are they just all grip-based attachments (rope, etc.) or did you get anything for the tower itself?

@Abdullah Gideon thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@@jcard959 thank you. I have the ironmaster cable tower V2 unit and was trying to ascertain how to perform the single arm lateral raises you demonstrated in this video without the weight carriage hitting the top of unit. Hopefully an extension chain will work to address the ROM issue. Thanks again.
Im thinking of purchasing this product because of its compact size when the bench isnt in use. Would you recommend this item? How is it holding up so far?
I recently sold it because I got the inspire Ft2 but it’s definitely a great machine, very compact and easy to use. Also gets heavy quick, but yeah I’d definitely recommend it
I’ve had mine for 4 years, it’s a great home piece and I’m used to commercial equipment. Purchase the cable tower seat and you’ll have a stand alone lat tower for about $500 with a very small footprint. It feels like true 1:1 weight which is good, smooth for how simple it is.
@@TurboGuy979 thanks for the info! Yea I already purchased the cable tower and have it installed. Unfortunately the cable tower seat is out of stock. So just waiting on that and I’ll be set!
@@TurboGuy979 so I don't need the bench? What if I decide to purchase the bench? Will it be to cumbersome to keep disconnecting and reconnecting it let say if u are doing bech pressing and rigjt after lat pull down or low rows?
@@futbol1972 I would recommend the cable tower seat as it is very easy to add/remove and takes up ALOT less space. Before the seat came out though, I was using the super bench. Although it worked fine it became a little annoying and cumbersome to attach/detach in a small room. If you don’t mind that, then the super bench will work just fine. If you have the room, buy the cable tower seat and make it a permanent stand alone cable tower. I still have to remove mine when not in use because of space constraints.
Hello, I’m considering both the super bench pro and the last pull down tower but can’t find the height of the tower anywhere. Could you please let me know how tall is the tower once it’s assembled?? Thank you
@@jcard959 Thank you for your quick reply. I might just get the lat pulldown tower with the cable tower seat (instead of the super bench pro). Is it stable while doing seated rows? (with the cable tower seat attached on the other side). Thanks again.
I looked at purchasing the pro bench but it said it wasnt compatible with the Cable Tower due to height differences, did you have to mod anything to make it work?
It depends when you bought the cable tower, I bought mine last year and they make it so it works for both super bench and super bench pro. But if you have the older model cable tower they do sell a mod attachment
Nice setup and excellent home gym! I also have the Superbench pro, I have had mine for well over a year now. That cable machine looks pretty sweet, how are you enjoying these two pieces of equipment so far?
AJ Faith & Fitness so far they’ve been great, I’ve been using ironmaster equipment for a while now and really enjoy there stuff. I’ve had most of there equipment already.
So far yes, haven’t had any issues with it , it’s only stable with the bench attached to it tho, I do plan to buy the seat attachment once it’s available to see if it’s the same amount of stable.
You said the you received the seat. How is the stability of the tower with the seat attached as compared to the stability with the super bench attached? Thanks.
Yeah I’d recommend it, and they only sell the V2, but the V2 is better anyways, the v1 you have to switch the cables around when going from high pulley to low pulley
@@jcard959 I see. Would it be too much to ask if you could measure the distance from the bench up to the pulley or/and to the lat pull grip/bar (preferably about shoulder width since that part of the bar is a little higher up)? I also have the super bench pro, so if I know that, I can then get a sense of if the lat pulldown will work for me. Sorry if it is asking too much...
I’m not sure to be honest, my brother-in-law used it and he’s 6’3 and he had no problem with it, but 6’5 might just be a bit to tall for this machine. You could ask the company by sending them an email just to make sure
@@jcard959 May I ask why? I mean, did you move on to something else or was it that the type of exercises the equipment is used for no longer served a purpose? 😶
I personally really liked it and thought it was worth buying, I only sold it because I ended up getting the inspire Ft2 and that machine already has a lat pulldown and low row attachment
No, you just need the super bench or the super bench pro. Or there’s also a seat attachment they sell for the cable tower. But you don’t need to anchor it
@@jcard959 man I think I hit you up about it on offer up. Your like around rialto right? I sold mine also and was asking about offers you were getting. I recognized the pics corresponding to your vids
Not worth it for the price i mean yeah works with the bench and ironmaster plates but at $700 there are a couple of 200lbs stack pull down wall versions that cost $900 online and bells of stell is more expensive at $1200 but still having to attach the bench or move the pull down machine to do rows thats another issues this pulldown machine cant be against a wall to save space as rows are on the other side.
Thanks for the quick build. Had this on when I was building it myself to make sure everything was looking good. Learned a few new expertises a well!
Helped me make my decision to get one. Thanks! 👍
Great video. Never thought much of their lat pull down until you showing how versatile it is. Hopefully they get them back in stock soon.
Yeah I was actually surprised on how much I actually liked it when I first bought it
@@jcard959 if you get some time, could you a short vid using the seat instead of the bench to show the pros and the cons?
@@XxGranddudexX I actually no longer own it anymore. Sorry about that
@@jcard959 then that kinda tells me what I need to know. Nice to have but the bang probably not worth the buck! 😀

It’s smooth, even at its heaviest, and it gets heavy quick since it’s 1:1 ratio

@@jcard959 got it, thanks!
So if I doing a full body lifting workout and need to switch from benching to lat pull downs I have to disconnect and reconect the bench??
Depends on how you have everything set up, I think you could go from benching to last pull Downs without having to disconnect the bench
Not that this is advised but is it feasible to use the low row without the bench attached for saving space? I wondered how unstable the movememt felt without the counter leverage of the bench. Thanks!
I don’t think so , it’d have to be really light weight
Do not do this, it will tip.
