Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I decided to write a review because I've seen a lot of people that simply aren't using common sense with this product. I've used this bench for incline bench press, flat press, thrust, step ups, crunches, OHP, pullovers, etc. I am a fitness trainer and workout 4x a week. I've bench press with 60# dumbells, 150# barbells and I weigh 235# using this bench. This is a solid bench. There are 2 very important things that must be done to assure your safety. 1. Use ALL the pins needed for the fold hinge and the seat. The fold hinge pin is critical to assure the bench doesn't fold on you. 2. Screw the back board spring pin COMPLETELY into place. Its a screw mechanism and if your only half screwing it you put yourself at danger with the hinge slipping loose. This bench will work great if you use common sense. The pins are needed for a reason. The screw has to be firmly screwed in for a reason. Very solid for the price and folds up nicely for storage. Folding is easy when you get used to it. Remove all the pins and keep the spring load pin pulled, hold up and pull seat down. Will fold in less than 10 seconds. Come straight out the box with no assembly required and instructions on which pins is for which hole.
