Universal Five Position Weight Bench Review

Universal Five Position Weight Bench Design and Features

Weight benches should be simplistic enough that they aren’t over complicated, yet sturdy enough so you know they are safe and reliable. This Universal bench fits each of those specifications perfectly.

This bench comes out of the box and is nearly ready to go immediately. It does take a bit of assembly, but nothing that should take you more than a few minutes to put together. Once you have completely assembled the bench, you will notice how sturdy and firm the entire frame feels. Also, the bench is very light in weight, which is perfect for moving it around to different areas in your gym.

The five different positions that this bench offers are just enough to mix things up for weightlifters. You can adjust this bench from decline to incline press, with varying angles in between. One complaint is that this bench doesn’t offer a 90-degree angle for shoulder exercises. This may not be a major issue for everyone, but it does seem odd that this position went overlooked when this bench was being made.

When you begin to compare a lot of benches, you start to notice even the smallest details. One thing that really stood out to us when using this Universal bench was the perfect amount of comfort that the padding provided. Many benches offer a lot of padding, which can sometimes feel less stable. On the other hand, some benches don’t have enough padding and you can almost feel the steel frame digging into your back during certain exercises. This Universal bench is the perfect middle ground of comfort and stability.

Conclusion on This bench

3.5 stars may seem a bit unfair. After all, this is a great bench by most standards. However, we’ve also looked a lot of detailed benches that seem to be a bit better. The only problem is that most of these benches are much more expensive than the Universal Five Position Weight Bench.

That said, for its price point, there are hardly any other options better than this bench. We highly recommend it and don’t think you can go wrong by adding it to your gym. However, if you’re looking to spend more money and invest a bit more, there are other options to consider. But if inexpensive and simple is your thing, you can’t go wrong with the Universal Five Position Weight Bench.
