Fitness Gear Bench Press

[keyboardworkout]

Is this a good bench press?

Happy New Year.

Good for what?

Avg dick's bench. Will work to perform bench press and variants.

Looks kind of dangerous to me. The racking points have no significant extended frame above it. I could see ripping both my shoulders apart or dropping it behind the bench.

Is this even real life?

OP, you'll make significant gains just from the pad color. Now will you be wearing the traditional Unitard?

That bench is OK op, but you're better off getting one with a lat pull down and chest flies

I get the feeling one good sneeze and all the bolts would come popping out.

OP I would take a look at the Fitness Gear adjustable bench, it's a Legend 3-way knockoff. The main frame looks to be 3x3 steel, I'm guessing 14 gauge. I've seen it in Dick's Sporting Goods before, it seems fairly sturdy. There was just a review on it a couple of days ago.

That bench will only work properly if you also wear this while using it:






Happy New Year to you too.

I especially like the fact that it comes with a leg extension/leg curl attachment. Those are the most important leg exercises to do, IMHO.

Thanks for the excellent advice. Sorry about posting this thread a day early but I am just really excited about starting to workout in the new year.

I'll be lined up outside Dick's when they open tomorrow.

Happy New Year!

^^^^ This.

That plate holder looks like it would be hardy enough to hold at least 4-5, 45-pound plates.

bench press plus leg curls at the same time is the ultimate compound movement.

I agree. My Crossfit coach told me that it is the ultimate move for CNS recruitment, Metcon, and GPP. I think he called this one "Sheena".

The 1/8" pins for the adjustable jhooks should be well suited for squatting off the back.

Maybe you didn't read my posts above.....There are no better leg movements than leg extension and leg curl--nothing isolates the hamstrings and the quadromaximus like them.

Easily sellable on CL for $200.

When you out grow it, you can upgrade to this:

Only if you use bands and kettlebells.
