Capacity vs bowflex s 600 lb.
We ll compare the 5 1s with two similarly priced benches and hopefully by the end of the review you will have a good idea if this bench is the right one for you.
You can see that this bench is very much advanced from the bowflex 3 1 that i have reviewed earlier.
It is not for powerlifters but for at home training it is an excellent choice for anyone.
While the bowflex selecttech 5 1 has a few design issues it is a sturdy and reliable bench that is built to last.
Although the xmark bench is less expensive about 20 bucks less and can handle a larger weight load 1500 lb.
Capacity i couldn t get past the fixed welded leg attachment used to support the bench s decline feature.
The box i received was not damaged but everything inside the box was kind of loose and moving around it appeared.
There was another bench that i was considering called the xmark adjustable fid weight bench.
