Rack Lat Pulldown / Row Attachment – Light Commercial/Residential Power Rack

First off, value wise this is probably the best accessory to your rack. No other attachment will give you access to as many different workouts.

Shipping from BoS was great. UPS only delayed my delivery one day, which I'll take as a win when receiving any large parcel. I like that BoS had the box strapped and taped over the straps, this keeps everything double secure during shipping. Assembly was involved as I did it by myself, but that's my fault. Would highly suggest either having a buddy for a couple steps and/or a stepping stool if you aren't well over 6 ft tall. These are things that should be expected, and I am grateful that BoS has online resources like Youtube videos on how to assemble their items. At the end, assembly went peachy so pretty much no complaints.

I took off the 2" inch sleeves right away and use the 1" sleeves because I have a ton of 1" plates and they take up less room behind the rack. I wish BoS would include some 1" and 2" clamps, but if the omission was to keep cost down that is understandable. As far as the pulleys/cables, I appreciate a good 1:1 pull and the length of the cables even without the provided chain is completely sufficient. The rollers feel a bit cheap, but once again I imagine that is related to cost. Plastic rollers might not last as long as chrome or steel, but in a residential setting they are unlikely to significantly wear.

I really like that a knee brace was included with the whole package. Not having to buy such an arbitrary…

overall the unit attaches easily, doesn't add much to the overall footprint of the rack

top pulley might be better positioned away from the top mount bar to improve the pull angle.

biggest issue is the weight sled doesn't move easily on the vertical bars, unloaded it hangs in place, loaded you can feel a point of resistance during the pulling.

I have cleaned and polished the bars, added silicone spray - it might be that the bars are slightly bent or plastic bushings in the weight sled are not formed correctly.

overall much better than the pulley and cable system I had home hacked before.

Awesome addition to my home gym. Just assembled yesterday, so I don't know about long term use, but everything else from BoS has been great.

Biggest issue I have seen in reviews was people talking about the top pulldown being behind the cross member, so it affects the angle you can pull cable (for example, facepulls, or cable flies). These can be accomplished with an extra pulley and the leg bar from the lat kit. You can basically hit any height you want with this setup.

Great attachment, probably the best out of all the attachments you can get. If you can only afford one attachment I would probably pick this one. You can pretty do all machine exercises on it and it is super versatile. A few minor complaints, the first one being that after a month the chain supplied that attaches to the handles started opening up (attached a photo). Luckily I had a spare thicker chain from buying suspension straps and replaced the thinner chain. Secondly the attachment point at the top scratches the rack a bit if you do exercises that are higher up such as face pulls since the crossmember of the rack gets in the way which seems like a odd oversight. Its nice that it comes with all the attachments you need though I did end up getting a tricep rope.
