GMWD Chest Press Machine, 1050LBS Bench Press Machine with Independent Converging Arms, Adjustable Flat Incline Bench for Chest, AB Workouts, Shoulder Home Gym Equipment

I am familiar with leverage benches having used one in high school. There’s an advantage to them because you don’t need a spotter and adding weights is very convenient without the concern of tipping the bar.I am using this bench, mainly for chest press, shoulder press, rows, and the sit up bench. It’s perfect for my needs, but it would be great if it had legs but I knew that when I bought it.I really haven’t found any cons as it is performing to what I expected. The pros are as follows:Extremely well packagedSturdy set upAs I said great for those who do weights by themselvesGood looking machineTime will tell how it holds up, but from the looks of it, I don’t for see this being an issue. I’ll be watching the pivot points from where the bars connect as they would be the only place where I could see there ever being an issue. But I don’t expect a problem.Good luck if you decide to purchase!

Deserves longer more detailed review. Here’s the summary. It goes together fine, and is a great solid, effective piece of equipment. Very sturdy and no missing parts. However, starting at figure 7 the exploded schematic picture is so congested, and the printing so small, and the labeling of items vs connections incomplete, that I can imagine some people getting REALLY frustrated. They could easy solve by adding 1-2 more pages where they break the diagram up and add higher resolution drawings that remedies the problems noted above. If you buy this, you will need to IMAGINE how to put it together for the last stage and then confirm by comparing all the drawings including 7 and all following, to confirm. Then rule in/out what you think is correct by trial and error, and triangulation on these diagrams. But it’s a great machine.

As someone who had major back surgery in Oct of 2022, and is still in a lot of pain with a recovering spinal cord injury, this machine is perfect. I needed to get away from free weights and into a predetermined push path that didn’t hurt my back. I really like this bench machine.

The bench press machine really exceeded my expectations for the price. It feels pretty sturdy unlike some other bench press machines and is adjustable so it is easy to use. You can easily fit a decent amount of weight on each side and the padding is really comfortable too. This machine has truly elevated my strength training routine. Its pretty compact and easy to build so you can fit it in something like your garage. Highly recommended!

Sofar it is great. Weight moves smoothly and the bench length is just right. At 6'3" I fit nicely on this bench. As far as the sit-up function, don't waste your time, it is not practical. Setup was very easy as well.

To my surprise, it folds up so it doesn't take up all the space in the garage, and the different bench positions are great for building chest and shoulder muscles.
