This is my 3rd bench. I grabbed it used for just $50. It is easily the best bench I have had. I'm not comparing it to the top pantheon of adjustable benches, but in the budget range. It adjusts better than either of my benches, has ZERO WIGGLE when flat, is super light, has a decent pad grip, and stands up. I was actually surprised and Dicks sporting good bench could be this good. A few downsides include a small amount of wiggle when inclined higher than the first setting, and a pretty massive pad gap. The gap doesn't bother me though for some reason; perhaps, the length of the seat pad. Handle and wheels are included. I have the older fitness gear version before the Ethos branding. I wouldn't pay full price for this, but it could be an major used find in a newer gym.

Very heavy duty, but doesn't quite fit my 2x2 rack. It scratches the paint off my uprights. This attachment does way more than extensions and leg curls, which is good because it's not very good at either of those. Granted, it's okay. If you have shorter legs, this is probably a better feel. Besides the main uses, this works as a lat pull down seat, a chest supported row pad, a glute Thrust pad, and a few surprises. I use it for Nordic curls, BG Split squats, Single Arm preacher curls, and even a cable reverse hyper. Setting up the leg extensions can take time, but you can get a decent curve feel if you add a band or two. Either to the weight stack or directly to the extension. On my rack, the cable rubs the attachment slightly, even with the cut out, but it just depends on the rack brand. I got this at a deep discount ($150), which adds a lot to the versatility value. I end up using it every day in my <100 sq ft gym. If you want to see the reverse hyper set up, leave a comment.

The top tier of swiss bars. Not sure if I'm a camber guy or not, but it felt excellent. I will say there are cambered swiss bars out there that probably feel nearly identical. Not sure if the premium is worth the difference.

I used these at my local gym and they ruined regular dumbbells for me. I honestly think these are the best possible dumbbells out there and find myself using my adjustables less and less. The leverage you have on these feels excellent and the balance itself is perfect.

Mixed feelings on this. The welds are ugly as sin. The spacing is a little off so it doesn't fit my narrower rack. A lot of these bars seem to have more collar real estate so they fit all racks, but unfortunately I have to bench this off spotter arms. The knurling is surprisingly okay and a real hot take here; the handle spacing and the central angled handles are a pretty good set up. Now the real upside is that this was only $100. Is it excellent? No, but I have used the Kadillac bar and get an identical chest pump at an absurd discount though.

This is a terrible bench. My amazon bench broke and I'm not a quitter, so I bought this on Facebook marketplace for $120. It's super slippery. It is somehow 77 freaking pounds and still wobbly. The handle to move it doesn't have enough space to get your hand inside, so you have to do a test of grip strength to roll it around. It doesn't stand up. When you incline the bench, the seat drops closer to the floor. So at a 90 degree incline, your butt is 3 inches from the floor. Did I mention it's 77 pounds? I could not imagine spending $600 on this new.

This is just a cheaper Mikolo cheetah that comes with more attachments. I'm blown away by every detail, because I can't believe it was only $300. The travel isn't the smoothest and its (the rack and the travel) a little shorter than I like, but I have found some work arounds. The structure is stout and I'm even considering adding aluminum pulleys. I wish there was one more lower 1 inch hole and it was 5-8 inches taller.

I really like the knurling and finish. Obviously the black sleeves are scraping off, but that was expected. It is just purely rated well on value and their customer service was surprisingly awesome and thorough. They didn't have the exact bar I wanted but gave me a decent discount on another.
