[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-01-15 Summary: Not for a woman (or, get a smaller size) ... I did a search on Amazon for "weight lifting gloves women" and these were one of the first things that popped up, so I bought them without paying too much attention (good brand, good price, what I was looking for). When they arrived and I put them on, in my size M, they were absolutely swimmingly large. So I gave them to my boyfriend and bought a smaller pair. Too bad - they seem like great gloves. ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-20 Summary: great weight bench for price 5 stars all the way ... This bench does it all for me and cant beat the price and free shipping and bench arrived sooner than estimated by amazon/ups 5 days actually. I just cancelled my gym membership and got this bench.

The lat tower is pretty sturdy too..I put 180 on it so far and it held up nicely. As for assembly.. it took me about 2 hours to put together ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-08-26 Summary: Great value ... I did a lot of research before purchasing this bench because: 1) The pictures show both the lat and preacher extensions in their *storage* locations, so I wasn't able to see how they were usable from the pictures on the interwebs. 2) Comparable benches start in the $400-$500 range, and this sells for about half that... 3) The fact that it accommodated both Olympic and Standard weights was mysterious. I've been using it for ~2 weeks now, and I can comfortably say that I would purchase it again. The lat and preacher ...more
