![DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO - Fused Warriors Trailer [BUDOKAI TENKAICHI Series]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/84p4Lvyfyes/mqdefault.jpg)
Reminds me of my first bench from Sears Catalog 45 years ago with the 110lb. bar and plastic, sand filled weights. We all wanted to be Arnold after seeing him win Mr. Olympia on ABC Wide World of Sports.
Some of the best training I ever did was on a similar set that my parents purchased for me from Sears at about the same time. (I went big & got the 132 lb. set with red, white, & blue plates.) Although I now have several olympic sets, I still prefer to train with standard plates most of the time (albeit vintage iron ones made by York).
@@TruthTellert63 other guys from the neighborhood had various versions of what I had but one kids Dad had a set of York plates and bar with dumbbell sleeves you could add plates to. We lived in Pennsylvania and he traveled to the York Factory in York PA to get his set. Great memories.
Me too! The concrete-filled plastic weights were by far the most common and affordable at the time. Since then things have gotten a whole lot better!
Deep sigh at the beginning from Coop tells me he's not into this piece... Can't blame him because of what it is... It's a kids starter bench
The bench you buy when you are still in high school or early college(me 40 years ago.)
Kids are the last people who should be using this crap, unless their parents believe it's never too late to win a Darwin Award.
Even though it is junk. I am really glade to see reviews on this kind of equipment. It's nice to see you do something other than expensive equipment that most will not buy. I would love to see your thoughts on the York barbell fts press squat. It's rated for 1000 lbs.
Reviews of junk are important to let people know that it's junk.
@stark5353 right but some people can't afford rogue or even titan. Nothing wrong with something like this. When I was a kid. In the 90s , I had something similar
I appreciate that you will not recommend a bench without spotters or the ability to use spotters.
I particularly appreciate the flaws being pointed out on relatively inexpensive equipment; IMO it's extra-important for the people who "don't know that they don't know" and are just looking to get into a hobby. I don't want any buddies who are just getting into buying some home gym equipment to make the "I'm going to bench at home without a spotter and without a spotter arm" mistake.
My first home gym when I was a kid was something like this, made in USA, I think PA. Can't remember the brand but it was brown. It was awesome but had the same safety issue Coop mentioned. For that reason, I ended up getting into the dip attachment instead which I do to this day as a result. When you flipped the dip bars around, they became a Squat rack. No stability issues there and had leg extension, curl, and preacher curl attachments to boot. Overall I loved it and believe it led me to a life of strength that has kept me fit today well into my middle years.
Back in the late 90’s I owned the Golds Gym version of this. It did have a lat pull-down and low row as well. I agree 100% Coop. This is a entry level piece and might be nice for someone who just wants to dip their toe into the home gym community. For the price this offers a lot IMO, but most folks will quickly outgrow it. Thanks for the review.
During the height of the pandemic, this bench was basically the bomb. But yes, my 11 year nephew got one similar to one of these for Christmas (has small spotter arms)...and I got him a Rogue Jr. Barbell. One day I'll get him a OPB to match mine. 😎
I actually love that you have LMNT as a sponsor. I run a lot, I have a few marathons under my belt and LMNT is awesome.
As a kid had that design with the old sand weights. Later went the bowflex route, now looking at a power rack. Nice review of entry level equipment.
Love this review have looked at these a lot and this review has really helped me realize I should just keep saving for a power rack!
Love it. Makes me think about things before i buy them.
I think more "Ultra budget" reviews would be nice. I personally get frustrated when I see a "budget friendly" review or build... And it's all top of the line brands... Like why are Marcy products never reviewed, or even CAP, or GMWD, Syedee... The true budget (I guess now it's called Ultra budget) products
Because those brands don't send him stuff. He only does reviews of products that are sent to him for free, not out of his pocket. I guess they figured his viewers are not the market they're going for. A brand like Marcy targets the average Costco strolling person that is not really into fitness but sees the equipment and thinks that they should get back to working out like they did in highschool 20 years ago.
While I have no intention nor need for this bench (I just like watching this channel in general), I really appreciate Coop calling out the safety concerns of the bench for viewers and potential customers. Good on you, Coop.
I totally got something like this when I first started to get into a home gym set up. Quickly sold it for a cheap rack due to the lack of safety supports and the width issue coop mentioned.
These have been around forever - would be nice if they had safety arms you could use for the front and back as it is mainly inexperienced users with these and they are more likely to get stuck in an unsafe position
New subscriber of yours and loving the content. Do you think you’ll ever do a review of the powertech lever gym? I like the idea of having it for a hammer strength replica at home in addition to a power rack. And I think it’s pretty budget friendly
Only if powertech sends it to him for free. Otherwise he ain’t gonna do shit - unless it’s got a big swoosh plastered over it (that is the one brand he seems to make an exception for).
Had this same style bench when i was a kid. I had plenty of close calls of failing a set and getting pinned under the bar. Eventually i learned the no collar trick. Not sure how im still alive today with all the stupid stuff i did as a kid.
It's good that you review stuff like this and I completely agree: don't buy a bench press rack that doesn't have safety spotter arms. ESPECIALLY if you're a beginner lifter and this rack is clearly designed for beginner lifters. It's always important to have a safe exit ready when doing compound lifts, you've got to know how and wear to drop it. Although I have done 5x5 benching with a barbell, I much prefer to bench by myself with dumbbells.
My dad bought one of these in the 70s with 1” sand filled plastic plates. I remember lifting on it in the 90s as a kid. The design (or death trap) hasn’t changed in 50+ years 😂
Hi Coop, yes id like to get a review of their leg curl, extension machine.
I had a very similar bench for years. it was a good starter bench. I agree bench press can be dangerous on it. After getting myself trapped under the bar, I went into the workshop and used a couple of better quality saw horses as spotter arms. Not ideal but got the job done.
The bench lives on at my brothers house, where my niece and nephew are using it.
More budget equipment reviews, please. I would especially like to see a review of budget friendly leg extension/leg curl rack attachment options. Thanks!
Great video! Side note...What kind of athletic training pants are those?
Maybe you have done one and I’ve missed it but a video on some variety of plates would be awesome ! Keep up the great videos.
I don't see anything wrong with budget equipment for those just trying to get into the Home Gym Community. If it helps someone get started then it's probably a good thing. Please continue to review budget stuff
The problem is when it's overtly dangerous to use it as depicted in the marketing material. Not that this fly-by-night Chinese company will ever face any consequences.
I got the Flybird folding bench and it's been great for the price for me in my small apartment! Very good value imo
I'm grateful you guys are taking the time to review more common budget pieces between other products. It really helps beginners and more budget types make better choices and rewards companies for making better products when we avoid the cheaper made items that arent worth our time.
I'm glad you aren't recommending these kinds of benches without proper safety precatiouns.
Thank you for helping out beginners and those on a budget. Lots of people upgrade their home gyms over time so it helps a lot as you guys know.
Please do more Marcy Equipment, CAP equipment, and other popular cheap brands, it really helps people make good choices for equipment and they are more likely to stick with their goals and keep fitness trends growing.
Thank you guys for being honest and helpful. I knew you guys were worth waiting on and investing in.
Thank you for continuing to feature lower budget products. I love hearing about the latest and greatest equipment, but I think it's important to get that same high quality coverage and insights on the larger range of products so more people can still come here when they're buying something within their budget.
Idea: it would be cool to look at some of these all in one cage/smith/pulley/peck deck machines and show what you'd need to assemble to get something similar from one of the major manufacturers.
I've always wondered why most gyms have bench press stations with no spotter arms. Usually there's nobody spotting, and even when there is, they'd never catch a sudden drop if for example a ligament tears.
I have owned the Marcy Olympic Surge you mentioned for 5yrs…I am to the point where I’m going to sell for a Rogue Monster Lite half rack since I have passed the recommended weight limits for bench and squat…with that said, I think it has been a solid investment…I paid $225 on Amazon pre-covid and has been worth the price, especially, as you stated, since it has safety bars for the bench, which was huge since I do lift alone.
Man this takes me back🏋♂️
This reminds me of my very first piece from Service Merchandise (now defunct) when I was 13.
660 bench in the basement is good for everyone but Bruce Willis with his son.
yes please do more budget items
get your money up
Would love to see you review the new VTS equipment from Bullet proof fitness!!
It is a decent bench.
When the box arrived, I noticed that it read STANDARD SIZE BENCH. I took that to mean that it was "standard sized" and not an Olympic bench. I wrote Customer Support twice, and they assured me it was an Olympic-size bench each time.
I put it together, and like you noticed it was not quite as wide as an Olympic Bench. I view it to be more of a 3/4-sized Olympic Bench. It's serviceable and does the job. I have become adept at shifting my hands wider or narrower as needed.
I do work out alone though. To that end, I never do a flat bench presses. It's always an incline press. My flat chest workout is push-ups.
Good review.
Looking for something like this minus the bench press part. Ruptured my achilles and need some non-weight bearing ways to strengthen my legs. Love seeing the fancy stuff, but also love seeing the more pedestrian stuff.
Sorry to hear about your friends nephew, but talking about safety is so important. Please keep doing that as well.
I still have one of these style benches. I dont use it much but i want it there when i want to use it.
How about a vertical climber (like a VersaClimber) review/round up and the Dreadmill from Bells of Steel? Would be nice to see some reviews on those.
I really do appreciate the definitions for the big words. It's the small things.
I would like to see more outdoor equipment or how to weather proof indoor equipment. Also diy equipment and hacks.
Coop if you take out the upright spin them around you put them back in you can Squat or overhead press Dumbo works great I have put over 350lb worked fine
I started with a setup like this and it gets the job done. Now I have a full power rack and setup, but if you don't have the space or money, this will get you started. Honestly though just buying an adjustable bench and adjustable dumbells will get you more, and you can add to your setup over time.
A power tower and spin lock dumbbells will get you started too, without putting your life in danger.
Hey Coop, can you review Hoist V4 elite machine? Thanks
Lifting at home by myself is my biggest concern. Are safety bars really good enough for a beginner?
Can you review the Mayhem neon fleck bumper plates that are on Kabuki’s site?
Please do a review on the WALL-MOUNTED ATHENA™ BUILDER please
Would you be up for making a video that would set up the best equipment/ Best Budget build for Triathletes/ multi-disciplined athletes . Some of us are GYM BROS- I am included in that, but I also am a qualifying Ironman Triathlete and i think it would be great content but would love some guidance on building a killer gym for athletes that do more than just 1 type of work out.
Small kid time… I had a similar Marcy bench from Sears.
PLEASE REVIEW…. The TIB BAR GUY “SLEDTRED”!!!!!! Everything in one 1️⃣ machine?
Where are the light bars in your background from??
I use an even cheaper version of this, but only for leg extensions and curls. I tied it to much heavier equipment so it doesn't flip when in use. I use a smith machine and half rack for everything else and always with spotter arms or safeties
Can you review the Bullet Pulley?
review force usa compact leg press & hack squat or powertec's compact leg sled
I was interested in this nice looking $700 belt squat from Syedee fitness, it looks like they closed their website and only sell on Amazon and Walmart now. But it looks better than the BoS belt squat.
I'd like to see a review of the Eisenlink Adjustable Dumbbells
Sorry for the shameless plug …but I just did a review of Eisenlinks.
I use the marcy one coop, and bench solo all the time with no issues. I will however say that the foam rollers are cheap and dig into the leg or pinch as well. It has a squat rack but when your over 300lbs on a back squat gets a little shaky lol I'm looking into a rack now.
I played Russian Roulette once and didn't have any issues.
@plmn93 what a stupid, idiotic comment.
More budget stuff!
Have you ever reviewed a FG600? I got mine at dicks sporting goods. I would agree it would be better with safety spotters. But I can do flat, incline, and decline bench. Have the leg extension and curl attachment. Lat Pull Down attachment. Squat rack and precher curl pad. I want to I paid 190 before tax. What are your thoughts.
Do you have chin up bar?
You guys should review northern lights fitness barbellz
How about the Kabuki Oregon Power Bar review?! Is that one coming?
Nobody cares about that bar. Kabuki should stick to high end specialty bars.
@@hitleractually8180why does no one care about it. Curious to what your thoughts on why this is? I haven’t heard anything about it really. I’m kind of curious on what the knurling is like(compared to my Ohio Power Bar). It’s a Kubuki bar so, the quality should be good, right. It’s another option to other power bars out there.
Still waiting for a Powertec Levergym review.
We want the cheap stuff! Do a cheap treadmill next please!!!!
Anybody know if there's a cheap to midpriced option with safetys?
Coop are you trying to get folks to play Mario Bros? Cause you Cosplaying Mario got me itchin for some Mario Kart Yo
Can't you just take the top roller off to do standing leg curls?
We all start somewhere
Just assembled this bench and using the leg extension is an absolute ankle breaker. My feet hit the front foot on the way down, the roller is too close to the front foot. How is this not mentioned on any of the reviews? So disappointed the bench is otherwise solidly built.
Define irony Coop uses two elieko bumpers whose combined retail is $100 more than the retail of the bench he's reviewing... Edit the bumpers individually cost $150 and the flybird is $200 so no the plates don't retail for more but I didn't factor in shipping for either piece
Coop! Review of the Mikolo P5R rack when? 3x3, I think 12 gauge steel, tons of add ons for lat pulldown/low row plate loaded, rack mounted leg extension/leg curl, jammer arms. Rack alone is $599, has been $499 after coupon.
I would love to see some more reviews on cheap equipment, also a vertical leg press would be nice.
People with money don't want their time wasted on this garbage. Get your money right or stop being so cheap.
Do the Getrxd Combo Rack 1000. It's $1200 bucks for a Combo.
My uncle’s basement? You described mine.
I'm an uncle.. I have that bench in the spare room with the shirts on it .. on only 31 dangit lol he'll my bench seat is two flip-flops dictated to a 2x6 lol
Duct taped lol
lets see some of the more budget friendly stuff.
the biggest problem with this for me was the fact the bench piece never felt secure enough to past 200
Would definitely be interested in that marcy piece
FYI I have all standard bars and plates just because I am old school.
So they designed it with the assumption that I have friends?
I guess the pushback he got in the comments from reviewing products that he gets for free, but most of his viewers probably can’t afford, made him obligated to review this. Grudgingly.
For me just buy separate bench and rack [power rack] it have very versatile. Than this thing.
Wjy is he doing leg curls with the bench in the low incline position? This reminds me of those beginner weight benches we got from the department store in the 80s.
Nope, nope, and nope! I can deal with cheap, but no safety spotters (long ones at that) is a complete deal breaker, full stop! These should not even be allowed to be sold without them.
it rolls up your calves because your knees are not at the axle, just wrong positioning of ur body
More budget pieces and European brands. I cannot buy most of the stuff you review due to my location.
Indeed!
For strength, they make the metal with the ridge instead of increasing the thickness or design. Cheap AF.
Hey Coupe I can't buy that Wall Mounted Athena Until you review it so WHAT THE HECK!!!!!!!!!!
just buy it.
Review gym timers
You can't do squats with this thing and it has no spotter arms for bench press. I don't get why anyone would want one of these. Why not just get a squat stand, with spotter arms and a flat bench instead? It would take the same floor space and it's so much better. I'm saying this because I used to have one back in the day and I sold it and got a power rack instead and never looked back.
A pool noodle would make better padding on the leg curls.
First iiiin💪
1st
Definitely dont trust the bench for anything over 200
Jack of all trades bench lol aka waste of money
Terrible piece. I'd be taking a Sawzall to the hammy leg curl part if I owned this
Bench should come with a hacksaw.
It’s a cheap all in one. These have been around forever. People who don’t know anything about gym equipment buy this. Sad.
Dont buy that electrolyte crap. Save your cash
