This folding weight bench is a strong and durable high quality product, including a 25kg set of high quality hammertone finished weights and a 2kg barbell.
Advantages: Reliable, easy to use Disadvantages: Spinlock safety locks not very secure if not tightened properly
I purchased this about a year ago and was pretty impressed with it. With the set you get a 7kg barbell bar with 2 spinlock safety locks, 2 dumbell bars with 4 spinlock safety locks and plates that go up as: 4 x 5kg, 4 x 2.5kg, 4 x 1.25 and 4 x 0.5kg. The barbell and the dumbells have good grip sections on them however form blisters on your hands if used a lot, therefore I would suggest purchasing some good quality York weightlifting gloves to prevent this.
The spinlock safety locks are good if you tighten them really tight, however they easily gradually unspin if you do not tighten them enough. Also in my opinion the weight of the plates could be in higher weight value, like 4 x 7.5kg just so that people who like to add extra weight can do as it is difficult to get many more than 2 plates on each side especially on the dumbells.

Using these weights you can tone every major muscle and for those ladies out there who are worried about building muscle, with only 9Kg per dumbell there isnt really enough weight to do this.
To make sure all you need to do is lift a weight that you can complete 15 repetitions of for 3 sets, ideally feeling hard for the final 3 reps of each set.
If you are looking to build muscle then you need to be working at a much higher intensity whereby you couldnt really lift the weights more than 8 times per set.
The only problem with this equipment is that you will need some gloves to stop your hands becoming sore as being metal they are quite harse, also you dont want hard skin ...
Advantages: stable and versatile....did I mention stable (Its excellent) Disadvantages: A bit costly, the weights you will need are expensive.
). You will find that most serious weight trainers will not buy a bench without this feature. Its also relevant to note that the seat positions can be easily altered using the spring loaded adjustments, offering a huge range of positions from which to exercise from. The seats and back supports are also really padded which makes for comfortable use.
Telescoping uprights extend to 63"
These are the arms that hold the barbell. With an extention of 63" this will cover anybody who is that bit taller so you can get a good starting position for your bench press. This may not seem like a big deal, but if the position is too low, or too high, it could result in serious injury to the person training. It is also useful if you were looking for a good start position for lunges/squats, where you would mount the bar from beneath to rest it on your ...
