Well built, easy to adjust the stack and the arms to either rear delt or pec fly. Price would be a withholding factor for adding this to the gym.

Great machine with a very small foot plate that is easily moved. I would love to get all my patients to have one, but at least work through the movement to mimic it. They are top notch.

It does what it's made for with some versatility if you’re open minded (farmers carry in one spot if you try hard enough). Not really worth it at home unless you have the budget, space, and huge love of shrugs.

Great machine and obviously well built, but need a barn or large garage to make this worth while at home.

I think most people started here and for good reason. This is a quality adjustable bench that was always reliable. It put V. I. C. to shame with the amount of wobble, but never once did it fold or cause accidents. Max load listed at 300lb, but that measly support arm definitely covered 500lb+ without safety concerns.

Not a bad piece for the home gym, though prefer the rounded handle of other models.

Fun piece to have if you have the extra room and want a dedicated bench station, but definitely better options are out there with more variability. West side spacing and spotter station are both nice additions. Would add if I came across one as FBMP deal of the week.

Excellent grip and easy to move around the gym. Only qualm is the base leg is a little wobbly when you move side to side, which can be concerning with a heavy bench.
