Weider Pro 225 L Bench

The seat is on an incline for some reason and not adjustable and this prevents you from doing flat bench exercises. Only the back rest is adjustable. So basically, you can't do bench press or any type of exercise that requires you to lie flat on the bench. Next, the back rest is too short. My neck hangs out doing practically any exercise and I have no support for my head. Makes it quite uncomfortable to do any weight exercises. Perhaps this issue could have been fixed if the seat was flat, and so you would have more room to position your body. These issues could have been fixed very easily (i.e. increase length of back rest and change seat positioning from incline to flat), but sadly they aren't fixed and are the downfalls of the product.

The seat won't lay flat so bench is out of the question. The backrest is super unstable. In an upright position, it wobbles and when it's down again because of the seat you cant be bench but it has give to it. Honestly, if you are 100-150LB and not lifting that much you prob will be fine but lifting anything above 30LB I wouldn't trust this bench.

I am 6 ft and when I am using it for bench press, I get support only till neck. The smaller sitting board can't be adjusted and always inclined only the back rest can be adjusted. This makes it difficult to use when using it as flat bench. It is a little shaky as well, but not a lot.

The design is a total failure. The front seat is on an incline which makes it difficult for you to do any type of work out. It’s unstable and wobbly. The holes in the adjustment rear seat are not properly aligned with the holes in the frame so it’s a struggle to adjust the rear seat. Unless you are willing to intentionally waste your money I do not recommend this product.

This bench wasn't the one I had been looking for a while due to the shortage from the pandemic but I needed a new bench. I was pleasantly surprised with this bench, made fairly well, would like to have seen an optional leg attachment, for the price it's a good deal and it gets used 5X each week. Only took about 1 hour to assemble by myself.
