Marcy Olympic Weight Bench
When shopping for an Olympic-style weight bench, the maxim, "Quality first, price second," must be kept in mind. Price is most certainly a significant consideration, but the price tag for this type of equipment will almost always be the same (i.e., affordable to moderately costly depending on where you buy it), so you might as well concentrate on whether or not the weight benches available to you live up to the "Olympic" appellation or not. Fortunately, the Marcy Olympic Weight benches deliver athlete-level performance out of your every workout. A Marcy Olympic Weight Bench will not only live up to its "Olympic" name by being tough enough to support three hundred pounds worth of weight with its fourteen gauge, heavy-duty steel tube frame; it also provides "Classic" and old-school lifting postures that range from incline to decline positions. The rest of its features—which include a dual-action leg developer that properly aligns with your knee joints for better quad-and-calve biomechanics, four oversized roller pads for added comfort, and front-and-rear stability braces for extra balance—help deliver to users a comprehensive workout that combines safety and effectiveness together in one value-addled package.
The Marcy Classic MCB7400 pictured above is not a perfect bench by any stretch of the imagination. Its construction is lackluster compared to more expensive benches, its three-hundred-pound capacity is limited compared to Olympic weight benches, and it is weak in certain areas like leg curls and preacher curls even though its makers advertise these features as selling points. Criticisms of mediocrity aside, you will get a better upper body by weightlifting with this product.
