Workout station 1 – Chest press

The main chest press arms can be adjusted to move through two different ranges of motion, either as a pressing movement or a pec dec style exercise.

The two different types of handle design have been added to offer you wider variety in how you perform the exercises, as well as helping to make sure the machine arms move through a range that is natural to your lifting style.

The VLK 2 Station Multi Gym also has a leg developer at the front of the chest press station.

Low cable pulley

The low cable pulley at the front of the leg developer allows for the following exercises to be performed with just a straight bar attachment:

  • Bicep curls
  • Bent over rows
  • Upright rows
  • Shrugs

[/tie_list]

If you were to buy additional attachments, such as single handles or an ankle wrap, then you can use this low cable to work almost every muscle group, from biceps in the curl exercises to outer thigh raises.[/one_half]

High cable pulley

The VLK 2 Station Multi Gym chest workout station also features a high cable pulley. Although this is primarily designed for lat pulldowns for developing your back muscles, you can switch attachments to use this for everything from tricep pushdowns to weighted abdominal crunches.

The high cable pulley directly above this also comes with a small set of hooks at the end of the support bar to support the lat pulldown bar when not in use.

Although the weight stack only has weight plates up to a combined weight of around 70kg, because of how the pulley system has been designed, this can actually create a resistance of up to 100kg, depending on the pulley station being used.

A hydraulic stepper under the dip bars also provides a calf / light cardio workout.
