REP Ares 2.0 — 6-post attachment

Ares 2.0 adds adjustable cables, pulldowns and seated rows to a matched six-post REP rack. Two rear-mounted 260 lb stacks provide nominal output of 130 lb per adjustable handle at 2:1.

Australia listingBy Mahmoud
Who it suits

Retain a compatible REP frame and spend on the missing cable functions. That is its strongest value case compared with replacing the whole rack.

The drawback

The rack is separate. The Australian listing is the PR-5000 six-post version; the available kit must match the actual rack series, height and layout.
