Best Fitness BFPR10 Multi Press Rack Review

Best Fitness BFPR10 Multi Press RackBeen using for a couple of months and am quite happy with the product. Assembly was quick & fast. Noticed there were two stable positions (vertical bars slightly closer at the top or slightly wider at the bottom).

Best features:
* The safety bars (both squats and bench presses) are extremely useful when you don't have a spotter.
* Easily do both squats & bench presses on the same side by adjusting height.
* Compact footprint. You still need an 7 ft Olympic sized bar. A 6 ft bar will do if the separation between the joints is standard (I think it's 52.5" or so).
* Price! Couldn't find too many in this range that offers the safety bars as well.

Cons:
* The horizontal bar at the bottom is mounteda little high, so it can interfere with some benches. I have a folding bench and need to swap the front-back directions to get it to fit. Standard workout benches probably won't have this issue. So buy this first, and then the bench.
* Doesn't tell you how much weight you can safely use. I have a 300lb set, but am not using all of it right now.

Overall, very happy with the product, and would highly recommend to someone who is in need of a compact footprint for doing squats (as well as bench presses).

Best Fitness BFFID10 FID Bench Review

Best Fitness BFFID10 FID BenchThis is a small bench and low to the ground. I am 5'10" 170lb and my son is 6'2" 222lb and we both use it easily, so the smallness is an asset for our limited area but the size does not limit any exercises.We use dumbbells a lot and this bench is perfect for those exercises.Easily adjusts in seconds and is sturdily built.We already have a bench that is attached to our weight machine and I thought this new bench would get limited use but its portability/movability and its ease of adjustment have made it our main bench.We also put the back at a high angle and use it for dumbbell preacher curls.Extremely happy we got it!
