NordBench Pro

Been looking for a 45 degree back extension that doesn’t break the bank and figured I’d try this out since I was swamped with so much advertising on it. My problem with it is how much it shakes, with me being a larger man (340lbs) it doesn’t feel the most stable. On top of it doesn’t take much pressure for me for the foot stand to get pushed out of place. With the pin fully in I was able to knock it out of place by simply hitting it with my fist….Padding is great and it’s light to move around which are some positives. Not sure if I’ll be keeping it

I bought this by recommendation when needing a 45 degree hyper. At the time I was looking for a bargain and this fit the bill. Does it get the job done? Yes, I use it twice a week on back days. So I don’t regret the purchase. I’ve not used it for Nordics but I plan to. The issues: Stability, it wobbles no matter how I adjust it. Folding and moving around, it is supposed to stay folded using magnets and let’s just say it needs a stronger latching mechanism for this. I will likely replace it in the next few years, but it’s not a horrible choice if money is an issue. I just wouldn’t use it for heavily loaded back extensions.

The NordStick NordBench Pro has been a good purchase, especially at the Black Friday price ($399.99). The construction is consistent with what I expected at this price point, and it performs well overall. The one area for improvement would be enlarging the top pad’s cutout to make it more comfortable for the groin region during certain movements.
