My Take

The bench was able to withstand quite a bit of use as it was my main bench for several years. The handle made it quite convenient to wheel around and easily get in place. The pad was thick and dense which allowed for comfort when benching heavy. It was also the specs needed for benching in the USAPL / IPF.

The only downside was the bench wasn’t really tacky which means it wasn’t easy to stay locked in place during a competition style bench press. This was overcome by using 2 resistance bands running along the length of the bench.

I also liked that the bench was somewhat light in weight. I don’t want to say lightweight for some reason, because it sounds like it can’t handle heavy loads. The key piece here is it was easy to move around. A heavy bench can let you know that the bench will be durable and last forever.

The issue with that is that it can be difficult to move around (especially if you have mats to move it on and off the mats). It was just something to note, especially as you compare benches and their spec weights. This is a tell tale sign that the bench is going to feel like it’s made from heavy duty (thicker gauge) steel or lighter weight steel.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoy this bench. It was one of my first purchases of home gym equipment and was a great find. I hope at some point the seller brings it back to Amazon. Until then, I will keep the links updated with available, similar versions. Thank you for stopping in to check out the video and as always remember to keep pushing!
