Elite Fitness Standard Weight Bench

The picture doesn''t do it justice. It is dimensionally smaller than it looks. It''s too narrow, too short and too flimsy.

When they say "400 pounds max", that means total. Both you and your weights. The bench is labeled as supporting a person up to 150. The bar holder can support 100 max (bar and weights). And the leg press can hold a whopping 50 pounds.

Additionally:

-The bar holder uprights are spaced too close together.

-the bench is too short

-the welds are incomplete

So, if you''re thinking this bench will replace an olympic bench, think again. It''s NOT a bargain priced olympic bench. It''s an undersized bench for midgets.

If you''re over six feet tall, don''t buy this. If you weigh more than 150 lbs., don''t buy this. The only reason I''m generously giving this product two stars is because it was easy to assemble within about 2 hours.

Now to figure out how to return mine... too bad I assembled it already. :(

It only took me about two hours to set the whole thing up, and it''s very comfortable and perfect for a beginner to weight training. I gave it a four though because the tools included to set it up were sub par at best, I had to use my own tools to construct it if I didn''t want to spend 5 hours haha. Also, the written directions were somewhat lacking, but the pictures were amazing help.

The bench is okay if you don''t want to do incline bench presses. Expect to smash your head between the bar and bench if you do incline bench presses. Two of the bolts stripped. The other bolts need tightening on a regular basis. It works good for standard bench presses and butterfly curls which is why it gets two stars.

This is a bit smaller than it looks in picture, and if your a normal sized human being the bar will basically try to smash your face on the inclined setting so you have to turn your head when returning the bar to the rests. Besides this, it is a good deal, I couldn''t find a cheaper bench that would hold me. A word of warning: the 400 pound limit is broken down as such: 150 lb on the bar, 175 for the user, and 75 on the leg lift. This is kind of deceptive and I do not appreciate that I cannot put more on the bar.
