Review on RitFit Adjustable / Foldable Utility Weight Bench For Home Gym, Weightlifting And Strength Training - Bonus Workout Poster With 35 Total Body Exercises by Heath Cullinan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Feels just like a bench at the gym

I've been doing dumbbell workouts nearly everyday on this bench for 2 months now.Things I like about this bench:• Feels well made and sturdy.• Foldable form is perfect for apartment living.• Mine doesn't wobble, like at all.• That foothold thing is optional, you'll notice I didn't attach it to my bench.• Some other foldable benches sit really high off the ground for some reason, this one is normal height.• I appreciate that the design is low profile and doesn't look obnoxious next to my furniture.Areas of concern:• I saw other reviewers say that the nub in the locking mechanism got bent during bench press. I would not bench press with this bench, just because the locking mechanism doesn't inspire that much confidence for me. However I did stress test this bench by laying it flat, sitting on the upper edge while holding two 70 lb dumbbells, and bouncing up and down on the seat to see if it would break. It did not feel like it would give. I also regularly do chest press with two 70 lb dumbbells on this thing. This bench feels very sturdy and I am not worried at all that the locking mechanism will have any issues during dumbbell exercises. I also have the feeling that the people that had bent locking mechanisms possibly didn't twist it all the way in like you're supposed to. However, if I do have problems with this bench, I will definitely update this review.• The upright height isn't enough to lay your head against for overhead press. I thought this would be annoying but it turns out it doesn't really matter at all, since I could scoot forward in the seat and lean back so that my head is supported by the bench. Also doing overhead press without leaning your head back is not even unpleasant.Overall, this bench is high quality and fills all my needs. I'm extremely happy with this purchase.
