The Importance of the Red Knobs
I think everyone can agree that the colour of your knob doesn’t really matter; it’s more about how you use it. The candy red does look nice though.
The pull pin allows you to change the angle of your backrest pad in seconds, making it extremely handy if multiple people are training on the same bench.
The knob goes all the way through the bench and can be tightened, eliminating any possibility of wobbling or rattling and allowing you to fully focus on your gains.
The Backrest Pad
Spawning across 123cm, this bench will accommodate even the tallest users. It features a 5.5cm thick backrest pad which has been covered with a durable PU leather finish.
At 25cm, it’s slightly narrower compared to the benches used in competitions. But for good reason!
The narrower pad will allow your shoulders to sit slightly outside of the pad, giving your rotator cuff muscles more room to move around. This not only gives you a great pec stretch, but also reduces the stress on your rotator cuff muscles.
Additional Features
No one truly appreciates the importance of the lifting handle and transport wheel until they have to use a bench without them. Both the grip and the wheels have been perfectly positioned, so you won’t have to hoist it up to your chin for the bench to start moving.
The single foot design allows the true bench press enthusiasts to position their feet close to the bench, without worrying about any support beams interfering with their training area.
Is this the right bench for you?
It all depends on what your training goal is. If you are preparing for the world bench press championships or wish to use it as a step bench, you should give this bench a miss.
It’s been designed as a workhorse for athletes who are steering towards general strength training and bodybuilding, with no plans to step on any sort of stage.
