Marcy Mid Width Strength Training Weight Bench

As confirmed by the people who have already availed of this Marcy-brand product, the Marcy Mid-Width Strength Training Weight Bench is a tough, compact, and well-constructed bench. In terms of longevity, it does not disappoint—it is not a creaky, flimsy, and rickety little thing like most other cheap home gym benches are. After all, there is a big difference between being a cheap, slipshod bench and a cost-effective, value-addled one.

To demonstrate the full capabilities of this strength-training bench, let us enumerate its many features and their respective benefits first. For one thing, the bench is separate from the weight rack, which allows you to move the rack aside in order to do dumbbell exercises without having anything get in your way. For another thing, the weight rack is also well-balanced and durable enough to accommodate a six- to seven-foot Olympic bar for particularly intense barbell sessions. Leg extensions and curls on this fitness tool feel more like gym-level exercises than they do on most run-of-the-mill home gym equipment.

If there is a complaint to be had with this Mid-Width Weight Bench, then it mostly roots with the fact that the bench does not rise high enough for you to be able to execute a military press (full upright) position as promoted by its sellers. It is instead limited from a decline position to a flat position and a forty-five degree incline position. Aside from the false advertising, it is a nigh-perfect three-position bench. In short, Marcy MWBs are highly recommended, even if they are a bit needlessly hyped (weights are sold separately).
