Body-Solid Body Solid Assembled Folding Fid Bench

Prodotto assolutamente straordinario. Ha un design accattivante ed una incredibile solidità. Meglio di questo prodotto solo le panche in palestra e forse nemmeno. Carico oltre 120 KG e la panca è stabile e comoda grazie ad una ottima imbottitura. Consigliatissima.

Die Bank ist sehr stabil. Wenn ich (95 kg) mit 60 kg Gewicht trainiere, wackelt und oder knarzt nichts. Die Verarbeitung ist gut. Zwar sieht man unter der Bank die Schweißnähte, aber wer legt sich schon unter die Bank. Das Zusammenklappen ist leichtgängig, die Verriegelung funktioniert zuverlässig. Die Höhenverstellung rastet sauber ein, alles ist passgenau. Die Polster sind angenehm straff (nicht zu weich, nicht zu hart) und die Verarbeitung der Polster macht einen guten Eindruck (aber das kann man wohl erst nach einem Jahr Benutzung richtig beurteilen). Zusammengefasst: Sehr gute, stabile Bank, die ich weiterempfehlen kann.

My bench was delivered last night, and I used it for the first time today. I will admit that I have never been a gym rat, so my review might miss things that a hard core lifter might notice.Let me say that I am impressed with the build quality. Solid welded construction, pad material seems thick and well stitched. It was packed with a fair amount of styrofoam and a everything was protected by cellophane, so I couldn't find a scratch or dent anywhere. And I looked.The material is like a leathery rubbery material, a little different but nice because it has a kind of tacky texture so I don't slide around. Not sure how it will hold up long-term, but it does seems nice and thick, previous reviewers experienced excellent warranty response in the event it eventually tears.The bench came fully assembled, but it took a few minutes to tear off all the cellophane. It unfolds and folds easily, probably doable with one hand.Let me address the five major concerns people have:1. Gap between the seat and backrest- I don't see any way you could build a folding AND adjustable bench without the gap. I haven't found a bench that doesn't have this issue, and so far it hasn't bothered me.2. Zipper rubbing leg- That must be an older model, because there is no zipper on the seat or anywhere else for that matter. The end of the seat is completely smooth.3. Defects- mine appears to be defect free.4. Flat seat- I was looking at another bench that had a tilted up seat. The problem with that bench was the seat could not go flat, so when attempting to do any flat lifts, you would only have the length of the backrest to use, and tall people would have their head hanging off the end. My head was almost hanging off the other bench. I figure when you want a folding, adjustable bench you can't have everything, and this worked best for me. I feel that the tackiness of the material and the ability to put my feet up on the pegs made it perfectly comfortable to do incline work.5. Foot pegs not padded- the foot pegs are wrapped in thin rubber. It would be nice if it was a little thicker, but I prefer it to the giants pads that always roll around and make it hard to hook your feet.

I know it's an expensive bench but you totally get what you have paid for... very sturdy .. I do various exercises on it and it's completely sturdy...Even in exercises like Dumbbell Incline bench press with 20kgs dumbbells each in both hands it's stable. Gives you the confidence to train without worrying about the bench.. I have tried all angles.. incline, Decline, flat etc. no problems whatsoever .. .The reason i choose to shell out so much money is because a workout bench is not something you buy often... you buy an cheap average one and you are not satisfied where will you throw it?If you are serious about setting up a home gym and have a few bucks and want a bench that'll not disappoint you go for this.

First off, this weighs 25kg so it's not too heavy but it's pre-assembled and arrives in a HUGE box bigger than a person so be prepared to give the courier a hand. It can be quite cumbersome to move around by yourself while it's still packaged!I decided to get this instead of the older PFID125X model because it doesn't seem to have the visible red locks that this model has. They are basically spring loaded so that you pull them out and the parts swing into place before being locked again. This makes the bench foldable and easier to store away. The wheels make it easier to move around too.Folded the dimensions are L 135cm x H 27cm x W 42cm. With the seat unfolded so that the bench is in use at its minimum settings, it's L 154cm x H 47cm x W 42cm. I'm around 170cm and the back rest (approx. 79cm) supports me pretty comfortably.Officially, you're supposed to store this away flat horizontally but, I found I've been able to get away storing it upright with the backrest leaning against the wall and the seat at the bottom. It doesn't work the other way round because the fold-away legs of the seat fall down.There are 7 slots to adjust the backseat but I've only to make use of 6. A long bar behind the back rest allows you to adjust the inclination in 4 different levels. Then the 2 remaining slots keeps the bench flat or a slight decline.I'm not a heavy lifter since I've only gone up to 12kg free weight dumbbells so far. Doing incline flyes, incline curls, pull overs with a total weight of 80kg (including me!) the bench has been stable so far.Overall, satisfied with the bench.
