UF Adjustable Pulley Athéna | Plate Loaded

Key features:

• Aluminium bearings, far smoother than nylon bearings.
• Compatible with rack accessories: works with the Athéna range accessories (60 mm x 60 mm), letting you add items such as the Dip attachment, the Leg Extension / Leg Curl, and more.
• Combining two pulleys: two pulleys can be combined to create a multifunction rack, linked by a pull-up bar. You can also add J-cups and safeties for even more options.
• 33 height settings: adjust the pulley height easily to target different muscle groups and tailor your exercises.
• Plate-loading system: enjoy the precision of loading with Olympic (50 mm) or standard (28 or 30 mm) plates using the supplied adapter, while keeping costs down.

Versatility:

• Need more options? The UF adjustable pulley is compatible with 60 x 60 mm rack accessories. Perfect for varying your exercises, use it with attachments:
  • Bilateral cable flyes - Dual cable crossover and high pulley lat pulldown attachment
  • Multi Rowing Plate
  • Leg extension / leg curl
  • Dips
  • Leg roller
  • Landmine
• Two pulleys can be combined to turn them into a multifunction rack / dual cable crossover by linking them with a pull-up bar (you can also add J-cups and safeties to perform compound exercises such as the bench press)

Adjustable pull ratio:

• 2:1 or 1:1 ratio: adapt the resistance to your needs with two pull ratio options. The default 2:1 ratio is perfect for isolation and explosive exercises, while the 1:1 ratio (obtained using our 2-in-1 adapter) lets you load heavy (100 kg loaded equals 100 kg of tension).

Because of its small footprint and its height, the UF adjustable pulley must be stabilised to ensure user safety, either by firmly anchoring it to the floor, the wall or a rack, or by loading its rear upright with plates using the Athena Olympic plate storage or the Athena multi-purpose storage holder. Mounting hardware not included.

No-drill alternative. If it cannot be anchored to the wall or floor, you can stabilise the pulley by loading its rear upright with plates. The rear upright is not included, it is available separately as the Athena optional upright. To do so, fit the Athena Olympic plate storage or the Athena multi-purpose storage holder on the rear upright, then load your plates onto it. This ballast limits the risk of the pulley tipping over. Spread the load evenly and place the heaviest plates at the bottom.
