I agree guys, poor judegment as usual by Amazon to post product details that do not match what you receive in the mail. I do have some good news for you guys tho…the Body Solid website (which makes this bench) shows the true product details which state this bench does NOT have DECLINE feature.
Get this, as I was watching the (YouTube video) they posted on their site of some guy using the bench, I finally figured out a way to make this thing DECLINE…and pretty safely at that. I figured this out by looking at the video alone. Believe it or not, my bench hasn’t arrived yet from Amazon (just ordered the other day) but I can’t wait to use it because it sounds really sturdy and at a great price.
When you watch the video…pause it at 0:05 seconds and the idea should come to you….if not
The ANSWER to how to make your bench DECLINE is:
1- Lift your bench (by the leg extention) about 6″-12″ off the ground
2- Put a strong flat square object beneath the leg extension so it sits flat and secure and voila!!!
Sometimes we have to modify things a bit guys sorry…the best I could think of, short of drilling more holes and makin a real freakin project out of this thing haha
ENJOY!
This is a sturdy easy to assemble bench. I can easily put 300 pounds plus my 230 pounds on this bench with no shaking or buckling. I like the ability to squat by raising the bars high. However Im 6′2 so I have to duck real low and uncomfortable and be very careful.
I was looking for this type of bench in a long time because of my job it is hard for me to go to the gym after work. I recomend this product.
I was looking for a basic bench for my garage/exercise room. It was either this one or a more expensive, “gym-quality” bench. Basically I simply wanted a strong, stable, bench for bench press.
When I saw the OB10, I was excited to think that I could get a folding bench and not compromise as much of my garage/exercise room floor space.
My big fear was that at this price (sub $160), and because it folds, it would not be stable. Alas, no worries. It is plenty stable for me (6′0 185 lbs) and the amount of weight I plan to use (~225lbs).
Took about 45 minutes to put together. Very straight forward.
Folding is very easy. As a mid-width bench, as expected, wide-grip benching is not possible. But everything else is, and I can get the same workout on this bench that I do at the gym.
Excellent product. Perfect for a home gym where space is a premium.
Bench is working well for me. Put together in a hour or so, wasn’t that difficult. Solid construction. No Decline. Needs a 6′ bar (I had an old 5′). I’m 6 2″.
