Product Summary

Compatible with REP’s PR-4000, PR-5000, Omni, and Apollo half racks, the REP pulley system is a great way to add variety to your strength routine without breaking the bank on new equipment. This pulley system enables lat pull-down variations as well as seated rows, working off a 1:1 resistance ratio. This is a plate-loaded system which fits Olympic sized iron and bumper plates.

The cables are constructed with galvanized steel while the pulley system is aluminum. There are a handful of users who had issues with the guide rod and plate carrier breaking as it is not made with the most durable material. If you plan on purchasing this product be sure to get a rear base stabilizer, which is sold separately. Alternatively, you will have to bolt down the rack to keep it stable.

The majority of reviews are positive. Athletes find the cables smooth and installation to be simple. The REP Fitness Plate Loaded Lat Pulldown and Low Row will add 3 inches to the height of your half rack. This purchase does come with a lat bar, straight bar, and foot plate.
