Just wanted to get this off the ground

4) Home Depot (2-Pk) 3/8" x 1 1/4" SS Fender Washer sku: 207993 $1.18 - (each washer goes on the rod against the pvc pipe so the leg hold-down won't pass through when on the pvc pipe)

5) Home Depot 2 - 3/4" PVC pipe (should be 1" outside diameter and should fit the Leg Hold-Down holes perfectly) (I had the PVC pipe) (3/4" x 2' PVC pipe sku: 254518 $1.60 - (Cut 2 PVC pieces - 4 1/4" long)

Note: This leg hold down was for when you do cable lat pull downs and you attach it to the safety bars along the left and right sides of the Fitness Reality rack. You put you thighs under the padding to prevent your body from rising if you do heavy lat pull downs.

Now-a-days I pre exhaust my back and lats so much that I rarely need to use this leg hold down because I am pulling lighter weight and don't need to be held down.

For me, Form and training to Failure is the way to work-out, if you want to GROW.
