Force USA MyRack Lat Pulldown Attachment
A plate-loaded lat and low row for the MyRack, at 2:1 — 880 lb of pulley and 2,000 lb of cable behind it.
Specs

Choose this one if
- You own a MyRack and want vertical pulling without a second machine
- You want long, smooth cable travel more than raw load
- You want the pulley and cable ratings published separately
The detail
A lat pulldown is the movement a power rack cannot give you, and it is the most obvious gap in a gym built around a barbell. This adds it to the MyRack along with a low row, which between them cover the vertical and horizontal pull.
Force USA publishes the ratio and does the arithmetic for you: 2:1, so 100 lb of plates gives 50 lb at the bar. That is the number people get wrong, and most manufacturers leave it unstated. It also sets expectations correctly — a 2:1 attachment gives long, smooth travel and half the load, which suits pulldowns to moderate weight and does not suit someone pulling 250.
If load is what you want, the 1:1 attachments — the Bells of Steel lat pulldown or the Titan cable tower's 1:1 column — are the ones to compare. At 2:1 you would need 500 lb of plates hanging on this to pull 250.
The separately published pulley and cable ratings are unusually transparent: 880 lb on the pulleys, 2,000 lb on the cables. The pulley is the lower of the two and therefore the real limit, and knowing which component governs is more useful than a single blended figure. At 2:1 you are unlikely to approach either.
What Force USA does not publish here is the loadable sleeve length, the added footprint, or the cable travel — which are the three dimensions that decide whether the attachment fits your space and your plates. Sleeve length in particular matters: at 2:1 you need twice the plates for a given resistance, so a short sleeve bites sooner than you would expect. Ask before ordering, and plan on thin iron rather than bumpers.
