Advantages: Great for working on your chest, arms and legs. Disadvantages: I cant really work on any other part of your body
I started weight lifting 3 years ago. I originally never worked on my chest because i thought i didnt need. Oh my God i was proven wrong. Realising i have big arms and shoulders and no chest just made me feel really silly. So i put my set of Dumbells down and started using the weights bench.
At first i couldnt lift much, on average i could lift 50kg. After using the bench for a while i started feeling the burn in my chest that i was supposed to and eventually i could increase the weight time after time.
Now my chest is alot bigger and i dont feel stupid anymore for having one part of my body bigger than the rest.
This bench is also good for working on your arms as you can do curls aswell. You can even work on your legs.
A bench like this and a set of Dumbells is all you need for your body building life style.

This picnic table looks like ones you get in pub gardens although the ones in pubs do not fold up into a bench.
The simple mechanism ...
Advantages: stable and versatile....did I mention stable (Its excellent) Disadvantages: A bit costly, the weights you will need are expensive.
This is the best bench out there for the money, offering versality of exercise but being one of the sturdiest benches I have used.
FUNCTIONALITY
Adjusts from decline, flat, incline, and full upright position
Now this for me is a really improtant aspect of the bench as the ability for the bench in particular to decline is an important aspect of weight training that is not offered by other benches. Most benches will operate from flat, through to fully upright. This covers most exercises from bench pressing to arm (bicep curls etc) and shoulder work (shoulders press). However with the introduction of the decline, it provides the opportunity to do decline presses and/or decline butterfly's (bench pressing on the decline) This is particularly useful to be able to develope the muscles in the lower pectorial's (in the chest ...
