I need a new bench however space is limited. I either want something with lat pulldowns and cable row facilities as well as the bench press OR I have seen some things that hook up to a door for the pulling exercises.

Any reccomendations? Anyone used these things? Any advce on where to buy?

Cheers guys.

Really? Does no-one know of any kind of home cable-pull type machine, be it on a bench or attached to a door??

Not sure about those door things. Why not a chin-up bar mounted in a door frame?

if space is limited I assume you're meaning a bench with the lat tower on the end. tbh I wouldn't bother as they look pretty feeble. a separate dedicated pull down machine is a better bet, anyhow, pull downs aren't an essential.

I`d recomend barbell rows.

How much are you looking to spend btw?

Powerhouse do a cheap cage with a cable row, and obviously you can still do pull ups on it, plenty of good reviews for it too.

Then just get a cheap adjustable bench.

Yeah, I did mean a bench with the lat tower on the end. I wanted a bench with inc/flat/decline with height adjustable supports for the bar so I can squat with it too, plus a lat tower if possible which had a cable pul at the bottom.
