Flat Bench Press Racks

Exactly what i needed

The bench is great and very easy to put together. Very high quality parts in my opinion and very sturdy. Well worth the money. I will definitely buy more equipment from Valor.

Very nice and sable perfect for my home gym would recommend already upped my bench pr

This is an excellent bench. I love the safety features it has.

Bench was easy to build & is very solid.
The stickers/labels were all coming off & some were put on badly and were hanging off the side.

Like the bench , very good heavy duty quality for the price . It’s not professional gym quality but those are over $1000. Only minor complaint is the bench itself is slightly narrow , I like a wider bench. Otherwise super solid.

The bench was easy to assemble, and easy to use. Some minor flaws in some welding points, and the spotter stand wobbles, even though the bolts are tight. When it arrived, the boxes were broken in several places, and the contents were scratched and loose inside the box. Valor offered me a 5% discount if I wanted to keep the bench. They responded promptly to my e-mails.

This is a top quality bench--very strong and sturdy. Definitely gym quality! I am 5'10 and noticed that the lower bar catch was too low and the upper bar catch was a bit high and also too close to the top post for comfort. I have worked out at a lot of gyms and rarely, if ever, felt like the bar was too high, but this one did feel a bit high. To address all issues I spent about 20 minutes and drilled a new set of holes for the bar catches about 1 inch lower than the pre-drilled holes. I feel like the bar catches are now at a perfect height and I feel a lot better about the extra clearance on the back post when you are going to re-rack your bar. despite the modification I had to make, I would buy this product again in a second. It is the best bench out there at this price point and the modification didn't cost me a dollar.

Solid bench for the money. I would not go cheaper if you are an avid weight lifter and intend to go above 225. At 6'1", 78" reach, the top rack is perfect. The instructions are extremely straight forward, making the bench easy to assemble.

Pros:
-Quick delivery.
-Easy to install.
-Reasonably priced

Cons:
-It says it's rated at 400lbs + spotter's weight, but the uprights sway and flex a little when racking 300lbs+.
-Pad is very firm. Some folks like that, so this could be a Pro or Con

Overall: This is a good value for the money & sufficient for home use. If your are a serious bencher 300lbs+, you might want to go with a HammerStrength or similar commercial bench. For me, this suites my needs well.

I've had this bench for over four year & I use it two to three time per week without problems. When I first receive it I wanted the J-hooks to support the bar but the one that come with the bench is sort of a half Y shape & are smaller than the J-hooks it takes a little getting used to using but it workout ok.

Bench came as described and has been working flawlessly for the past months. Assembly was easy with simple hand tools. Only issue was shipping company destroyed the box and lost parts. Valor shipped out replacements immediately at no cost.

Excellent bench. Set up well. You can do a lot with this. Not loaded up with a bunch of ding-a-ling junk. A good, well built sturdy bench that you will keep the rest of you life. This is the one. Get it. You won't be sorry.

Pros:
-Quick delivery.
-Easy to install.
-Reasonably priced

Cons:

This is a good weight bench for a home gym, but there are some flaws. The very tip of the bench feels like it could break if you sat on it with too much weight. The hooks for the bar to go on are set at too much of an angle, and they are very small, so it's hard to get the bar back on when you are struggling. Also, they are coated in some sort of black paint that rubs off when the bar touches it. The spotting platform on the back of the bench is awkward. It's too small to really stand on, but then it gets in the way if you actually want to stand behind and spot someone safely. When you do try and stand on the spotting platform, you're too high up to have any leverage and it's not safe to spot someone.

This is a great product. It is very studry and we'll built. I did have some issues with putting it together, but nothing that would take off a star. I have found no issues with height of uprights or strength of safety bars. Great bench for an awesome deal.

Really looks great and works great!!!

Another great product from Valor.Customer service response is awesome, highly recommend!

A great product I love it easy assembly and great packaging.....the shipping time was swift and trouble free I am a very satisfied customer and kudos to valor for a quality product

This bench press is awesome, the only thing that stinks is it's easy to throw the bar completely over the rack when you're trying track because the stops don't go high enough. Had to get my welder fifty bucks to extend the height of the stops.

What you need to know...this is nice sturdy home gym bench. It almost feels like a commercial gym bench. It bolts together so you can get it through a regular door. This has had 3 people using it almost daily for a month. The pad is nice, it feels good, firm and sufficiently padded. We use proper oly weights on a traditional bar and a synergy swiss bar. When you sit and lean back the dimensions are right where they need to be. I have been doing this sort of thing for 40 years and I know what a proper bench should feel like. This is not a 4-5 star review because we all have the same complaint, the top rack position is too high and the bottom position has us racking and unracking the bar partially extended. I have no confidence in simply racking the weight, I have to leave an extra rep in the tank so I can carefully rack the weight. When your working weight gets heavy you will be forced to have a lift off or your first rep will be like a partial pin press.This will eventually cause me to buy another bench or modify this one by relocating the rack. If this is not an issue for you then you will experience a 5 star bench for a great value.

This hook position on the rack is absolutely terrible! the bottom ones are good if you are under 5'7 the top hooks for racking are only good for people at least 6'2. By trying to rerack on the top position you are also taking the risk of placing the bar over the rack. Dangerous and not a smart set up!

The bench is solid and sturdy. The positioning of the upper and lower barbell holders are somewhat oddly positioned in that the top holders are too high for me to use alone. The bottom ones are perfect but it means that if I go to failure I have to either get it up or have the safety stabilizers high enough to prevent injury. Overall it’s a great Piece of equipment, but if I did it again I’d spring from the BF-60

The bench is study’s and I like the look along with the self spotter since I lift by myself, but dislike the heights of the strike plate. The heaight is ok for normal to heavy lifting but makes it hard for maxing out. The top of the striking plate is about a 1/2 inch too high and makes it extremely hard to lift max weight off due to my arms are almost fully extended and the bottom is just too low and takes too much energy also on max lifts, otherwise I love the product.

Very nice bench, strong and comfortable. If I had to do it again I would spend more money on the bench with the spotter stand because you can't always depend on your workout partners.
