The Best Bench Ever !!! - Ausbb

**The Hulk** · 28-05-2010, 03:58 PM

Well, maybe not the best ever, but definately an awesome bench.
And you won't find a price close to this for such a quality commercial bench.
Remember, 10% off for AUSBB members.

The single easy action adjustor automatically sets the seat to the perfect angle when the backrest is set.

It's a really comfortable bench to use, no stupid gap between the seat and backrest too.
Nice and tight, nothing rattles and there is no unwanted movement.

How heavy duty is it?

PTC · 29-05-2010, 07:14 PM

I'm looking at adding this bench at PTC ASAP. Anyone in Melbourne want to have a look are welcome.

as you guys know, I dont add crap equipment, if its not good enough, I wont get it. Thats why I had no power rack for 2 years.

Then Adrian said he had a rack that would win me over. He was right.

Same situation with an incline bench. I want one, cant find one. This looks like the best I have seen.

As soon as its in PTC, I'll let you guys know if you want to check it out.

Cheers

I forgot to mention, one of the reasons I want this bench is because of a guy called Anthony Dittilo. This guy was a monster with out of this world pressing strength.

He did loads of partial presses from pins in a rack at various angles on an incline bench. I've wanted to do the same thing for 20 years lol

Never had the rack or the incline bench.

Adrian, I replied to your email weeks ago, not sure if you got it.

Hi Oli,

It's definately a commercial bench, so I'd say it will handle a combined weight of at least 300kg.

I couldn't imagine anybody pressing alot more than that.
Well, maybe in flat bench press, but then you would probably use another setup more specific for flat benching.

Hi Markos,

I don't ever recall getting your confirmation.
But was going to follow it up with you anyway.
The new Power Rack will finally be here on Monday or Tuesday.

I'll resend it now, I replied on the 12th of April

I have ordered one of these, as it sounds like a great unit.

Fingers crossed

GoPies · 17-09-2010, 05:21 PM

I haven't had a chance to unpack my unit yet, but will get to it soon. I got to get the rack in the right spot first.

PTC mentioned that this bench is perhaps too tall for doing bench press properly. I'm not very tall at 173.5cm, so perhaps I should pick up a flat bench of the right height. What height should I be looking at? Would this one be suitable -> Flat Bench _FBEV

?

Id say unpack your one first and give at least a few weeks use before deciding on another one.
