GIKPAL Adjustable Weight Bench - Workout Bench Press for Home Gym, Foldable Incline Decline Sit up Exercise Bench for Full Body Strength Training w/Leg Extension and Preacher Pad

Ok, most people buy these and after 3 months they collect dust or used as side table for ironing. Not me. I specifically was looking for a compact bench that could fold up, and more importantly do the one exercise everyone doesn't like.. back extensions. The reason is I'm getting older and i can feel my back and core being weaker and I want to hold it back as much as possible and this is the best combination of those factors at a low price too!unboxing- I unboxed it in my family room with my son's help and we put it together in about 30minutes maybe less. mostly straightforward but you have to make sure to use the correct 'lockpin' as there are different sizes. if you make a mistake, just use the other one. problem solved. once put together Ii see how removing two of hte locking pins in the middle, and removing the curl bar and leg extension can allow it to fold up pretty small and be placed in a corner.Useability - The padding is pretty good for a budget bench and i like the colors. it looks higher class than others. the padding on legs is pretty thin but I know I 'm not using it for extensions but rather to hold my feet in place so i can do situps without having to be on the ground. the benefit is also I can use a 5, 10, 20, r 25 lb plate on my chest to really isolate my abs in the correct order. then i can turn around and lower the bench to hit the really low abs with leg raises or scissor kicks.elastic bands. - hmm.. i guess if you've never worked out these are useful but for any serious gym rat these will be useless. i did however find a way to use them to work shoulders, and if you squat on the bench it self give a littel resistant for legs.curl bench- the curl part is very narrow and not good enough to do two arms very comfortably. I'd have to do 1 arm at a time which is fine, but I'd rather do both together in the interest of time.side handles. good for beginner pushups (reverse elevation so less weight). not sure what else you can do with these yet.Any other exercises are pretty common to all benches, so they all work. Overall, a good bench for not a lot of money and it will help save my back. I have a competition going on with my two children to see who does the most situps/ pushups/ back extensions this month. wish me luck.. regardless I'll be a lot healthier.

Grandson had limited space in his bedroom but wanted a weightlifting setup. This was perfect and no complaints!

It's pretty cheap, but it works for at home workouts. The cables are pretty useless, but it's easy to put together and very easy to use. I use it everyday, and enjoy it so far. Would recommend to anyone who isn't die hard about fitness. It folds up pretty easily to make room for other stuff.

Product is good 👍…

Works fine. Folds easy and made well. Easily assembled. Great for a person tight on space. Holds my 275lb self fine.

Easy to assemble. Great price. My man loves it. I even use it from time to time. Great anniversary present.

I wish I had read more of the negative reviews before ordering this.It shakes, wobbles, and slants side to side under regular body weight. The leg extension is a joke, after reading the manual it can only hold like 15lb max or something like that. You can’t even get your legs into it if you’re a man over the size of 5’5”. I laid on it and it’s like laying on particle board. I got up and felt a shocking pain in my back like I had laid on concrete. Can’t imagine how it feels to lay on it AND lift heavy weights or how my back would end up!The whole bench feels like it came from a dollar store specialty summer section and was marked up. There are plenty of steel square frame benches on amazon I’ve discovered since looking for a new one that’s only a handful of dollars more and I wish I had shelled them out.The tensions bands that came with it are the cheapest I’ve ever held. I didn’t get the bench for them since I lift weight, but wanted to stress that part in case anyone genuinely looks at this and wants to use them. Like another seller said they feel like dollar store bands from the toy section. If you are even mildly strong I assume these will snap and whip you like no tomorrow.Upon trying to return this item they want $40 to send it back, or keep it and get back $20?? I’m currently having Amazon look into it for being a defective and unsafe item so I can get my rightful full refund back.DON’T BUY THIS BENCH, ITS BEEN A HEADACHE SINCE IT SHOWED UP.

Great product.
