G4-MAX Roman Chair Back Hyper Extension Bench 30-40-50 Degrees Adjustable

This is NOT a $400 GHD. It is not as sturdy or as versatile as that. It is also far less expensive, heavy and bulky.Pros -- low price and excellent valueAdjustable angle -- let's you make various parts of range of motion the most challenging.Portability and stores in small space -- literally under 30 seconds to unfold and set it up, or to fold it and set it aside.Split pad -- many similar products feature a single, solid pad. That can be very uncomfortable for males. No issue with this product.Cons -- I would exercise extreme caution if you are doing very dynamic movements, or if you are very heavy. The base of the support fits into one of three lips that keep it in place. If you unweight it enough for the base to slip out of that, you are going face first into the ground. I have not had that happen or felt close to it but I weigh under 150 pounds (70kgs).If you are hoping for something as sturdy and versatile as a high-end GHD, you are going to be disappointed. If you want a device that is small, lightweight and affordable and you have realistic expectations of it, you will find this to be an good addition to your home gym.

It arrived damaged and with parts missing. It looked like the package had been opened and resealed. In anycase, the parts were loose in the box and damaged. There was no packing material to keep them in place. There were scratches in the paint in a couple of places. The plastic sleeve for the height extension was broken and the ankle pads were missing. The seller arranged for me to get replacement parts. That took about a month. And they gave me $5 for the damaged paint which I felt was inadequate. However, the chair does work for me quite well. It is just exactly what I need for my lower back problems. The pads are comfortable, especially the split hip pad. The adjustment feature is also ideal for therapy. It allows me to vary the reps and muscle requirements. Like other reviewers, I worry about the adjustment mechanism. In my case, the plastic end pieces were too tight and one ripped. That makes the adjustable point very loose. That is not well designed, yet so far has worked fine. Yet, I may drill some holes and put a pin through it. I don't want to fall on my face.

You might not expect a gym quality product for about $100 and that's a good thing because you don't get one. Bench is unstable unless both hand screws are tightened completely. Then it is moderately stabile, but not really solid. Unable to get it properly adjusted. Inadequate English instructions and no explanations or cautions are supplied.Product is a decent value at $99.98 as currently charged by other vendors. Unfortunately, I was charged $159.99 for the exact same Xiaopeng product, featuring the same description photos (with the same male model).

I purchased this as a gift for my husband, who is 6'4" and about 230 lbs. We were pleasantly surprised to see how well this is made. Very simple to assemble and easily adjustable to fit a range of heights (I am 5’8”). We opted not to put the handles on - you don’t really need them- and they are just a bit too narrow and fell to close for comfort. But very sturdy, no rocking or tipping! Great price for a piece of home gym equipment.

Seems stable after a few uses, I weigh 155lbs. I would be a little more concerned over stability if I was over maybe 215lbs. Its a little on the thin side, but I have no reason to feel like its unstable right now. It did not come with the bolts, washers, and nuts to attach the arms so I'll have to go get the bolts to attach the arms myself. It came with 1 bolt, 3 washers, and 0 nuts.So far it is worth the money, despite being armless. I have not felt any issue with the angle and placement of the foot rests being too strenuous on the Achilles or calves, but if you have very tight calves this may be worth taking note of.I think this product may be a little bit overpriced, but it will certainly serve its purpose in my home gym for years to come.I will update once I start adding weight to my sets, if I feel like the increasing weight will compromise the integrity of the machinr, welds, or if it turns out to be too flimsy.
