I purchased the Body Champ BCB5860 Olympic Weight Bench in order to lose a few extra pounds. Actually, I bought it for two main reasons: 1. I am tired of being overweight and 2. It helps to alleviate extra stress. Prior to purchasing this bench I considered other brands such as Marcy and Gold's Gym. One of the deciding factors was that unlike the other benches I was considering, this bench was the only one that had a safety feature that would catch the weight lifting bar preventing it from falling sideways when mounting plates on either side. The two safety hooks are a plus because you do not want anything falling from the rack to the floor or on your feet. This bench also has a strap/harness that allows the user to do weighted crunches. The rope is a little short for my taste making weighted crunches a little difficult however it is a feature I have not seen in other benches. The pegs on both sides for extra plates make the bench look great and also help to balance it. This bench is made of quality materials. It feels like it will hold up for many years. The bench and preacher pad are well cushioned. The vinyl covering looks like true leather. This bench will accept standard and Olympic size plates. Also, the rack is height adjustable. One issue I do have with this bench is the placement and function of a safety pin. This pin is supposed to be a safety feature. It locks the curling bar and prevents it from moving. I do not understand why this is. In my opinion, this pin should be used to lock the leg developer thus allowing the user to do sit-ups. I even contacted Body Champ and the representative said that it is a safety feature. I solved this issue by wrapping a bike chain around the leg developer thus keeping it from moving. Other than that, this bench is a fantastic piece of equipment. It is very stable, well designed and it offers many options for different exercises. I have been using it for a few weeks and I am very happy with this purchase. The bench comes with everything you see in the picture. Plates and bars are not included. This might be a downer to some people but I have noticed that the best/better benches do not come with plates or bars. I highly recommend this bench. It is a great investment in your physical and mental well being.Read full review

Overall this is a good product. Shipping was fast. The only issue I had was deciding which weight bench to purchase. The descriptions for all the weight benches I looked at were not as comprehensive as I would have liked. "Fully adjustable" does not include the leg developer, which was one feature that I would have liked to be adjustable. Still a good product and will see a great deal of use.
