Product Description

The MD857 by Impex Fitness is a complete workout system. This Olympic weight bench offers four back pad positions so you can isolate and develop all areas of your pectorals. The angled uprights, which is what's seen on the weight benches at your local gym, allow for easy return of the weight bar to the bar catches on that final push. The adjustable height bar catches and safety catches put your body in the perfect position throughout your bench press workout. This offers safety to the user and maximizes the benefit of the exercise. An included leg developer, with contoured foam roller pads, allows you to develop all major leg muscle groups. The arm curl support pad and arm curl bar will give your biceps the burn you are looking for. Unique to this bench are the bar catches on the back of the uprights. These bar catches allow you to perform squats off the back of the machine. Also on the back of the bench are two well positioned weight plate storage posts that allow you to keep your workout space neat and tidy. Detailed instructions allow for quick and easy assembly so you're working out right away. This bench offers a weight capacity of 600lbs. (body weight + weight plates + weight bar) with assembled dimensions of 80" L x 47.5" W x 60" H. A 2 year manufacturer's limited warranty is included.

This is a solid product and I like it a lot. The only complaint I have is that the squat rack in the back is definately for a taller person, but I just turned the top front rack holders around to use in the back. I'm only 5'6" so getting the bar back up on the squat supports was a bit difficult, but once I turned the front ones around it was much easier. I like the versitility that it offers in that regard too. Overall a very solid product.

I am very happy with this bench. Very sturdy and easy to put together. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars because some of the peices of the kit had paint chips and dings. Probably from shipping. Other than that I am pleased with this purchase.

I received this bench on 7/18/11. I finally had the time to put it together yesterday. It came in two boxes. One large box and one smaller box that contained the hardware, i.e. nuts and bolts. The nuts, bolts, and other hardware are clearly marked on the package and in the instruction manual, which was very helpful. The bench parts themselves were not marked with a letter or number, but the illustrations in the instruction manual were so detailed that finding which part you needed was a breeze. I had NO problems with hole alignment. It took me about 3 hours to put together by myself, but I always go slow and methodical when assembling anything so someone else might not take as long. There are 4 allen wrenches included. I don't know why all the bolts couldn't be constructed to use the same size wrench. There was one wrench that you never use. You will need either a socket or an adjustable wrench to tighten the nuts and washers down. I used a socket and it was easy to assemble everything tight. There's one philips head screw that assembles to a spring inside a pin that holds leg extension in place for doing abdominal exercises, so you'll need a screw driver. Like others have posted there was some minor scratches on some of the parts and one square tube piece was bent at the end, but easily fixed with a pair of pliers. Overall I'm very pleased with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone.
