Yes it is an awesome bench. I had been using a decent 5 year old Rep bench that seemed to suit my needs fine and had no real issues, but the Cybex 5435 feels much better.

Cybex 5435. Thanks Duplicitous for letting me know about this great deal. $200 plus had to pay $30 in tolls .

Great post.

Good thread. How do you like the FXT. Pros/cons

That’s a good point. Perhaps I don’t understand what functional trainers were made to do.

I do use my last pull down currently for push downs and it works pretty good but also the last pull down...

At that age my kids were also using a 25 pound trap hex bar. The manufacturers actually often charge more for the lighter bars.

I tested it a while ago. I am 6’2” and I felt the Inspure FXT was a little short to do tricep push downs.

Yes now I see the rogue utility bench 2.0 has a 14 width. While I do have this it would be ideal not to have to move the bench every time but I will do it if this is the best for incline. Yet I will...

Would this be important only for benching? In my case, i already have the rogue flat utility bench which I will likely also keep and leave it for when my kids bench press in the rack as they are not...

Thanks. do you have the foam pad. or recommend. only $10 more but not sure if it is recommended.

yes I am willing to drop the coin to get something that will last. I have bought good and not so good things and best to just buy once.

AI already have a good Rogue flat bench and it is not much of an effort using multiple benches. Are there better benches just for incline or all they all FI?

Thanks I will look for the used ones first and see if I can find. If not, likely will go for the Rogue.

Thanks do you see much value having a decline included. I do have a dedicated decline bench but it’s going to get tiring switching benches out.

I used to do decline dumbbell press but for have...

Thanks yes a Functional Trainer would complete my gym. I would not have room for many machines as I already have a lot of stuff. I am only going to get it with assembly.

Both of these look good. Any recommendations on either of these benches or if there are other good adjustable benches.

I have an adjustable bench but it an upgrade is needed.

at that age, also look into slam balls. very versatile

Both look great. Which is better? Looking to significantly add to my home gym and want to get the best quality.

I have 30 and while I have kept the rack it is only because I do not squat heavy and prefer using dumbbells. My next rack will be bigger.

I got a 25 pound bar. I think it was from Rogue. My kids have outgrown the 25 pound barbell but it is still useful for some exercises. Start them slow and see if they enjoy it. My kids now in...
