I have this bench. Im 275, and I have benched 425 on that bench. It's 3x3 steel, so it can hold a lot. I put the fat pad on it, and it's great. Also, the ethos bench came out 3x3 when the west side bench was 2x3. There is also a guy from Bufallo thats probably weighs 275 and benches 550. The bench can hold up.
If I had space I'd love just a designated bench rack. I found a site that listed this at 350 kg total capacity but I've seen thinner steel 2.5x2.5 posts rated to over 1,000 lbs. I'm sure this could handle at least 800+ lbs. I'd probably get a rep comp bench pad, roller j hooks and change into safety straps as an upgrade though.
Thanks for the review, brother! These are showing up on FB marketplace for around $250 now.
@@ClarksvilleBarbellClub I like it I just don’t love it. It’s so close though.
@moregaragedateswithnatespl5177 I've almost gotten one a couple times for the gym I'm opening.

I figure somewhere north of 600 but I can find a number anywhere. Sounds like maybe 800ish?

@@stealthassasin1day291 I can’t hate on any of that. The pad is the main weakness here. I don’t like it at all
I got mine for a great Bargain of £85.00 GBP 🇬🇧 did you have any issues with bench pad level and screw points ??
Compared to some other options I’ve seen it was smoothish. There was one bolts that I had to angle a bit to start then it pulled into place though.
I got that for less than $100 brand new including shipping
From where?
