Could someone please tell me where they found that this bench will support 600 lbs? I can only find in the manual where it says max user weight is 300

I am roughly 190lbs and have bench pressed 285lbs while using this, I have no doubt it could handle more weight than that but presume that 600lbs rating means combined weight like a 300lb person bench pressing 300lbs.

I can't speak to it's actual rating, but I wouldn't worry about pushing up heavy weight with this under you, it's solid. Just make sure it's assembled properly, mine had an issue with the spring pin for the seat incline seeming to be about 1/8 too short, meaning it could possibly pop out in use. I haven't had an actual problem, but watch the adjustment on it, it needs to be spot on.

It is supposed to be 1000. Benching I have dumped 700 and its intact. It rocks but won't bend or break.

Usually one adult uses bench (160lb), but I see no problem with it supporting more weight than that.

the bench is well made but I think its a bit small. I never noticed that 250lb limit. If I had I think I would have bought something else. I am 175 and rising so I will most likely have that same issue. Buy something else, something you know won't let you down.

There are units designed to handle a 300 lb person, but the unit we purchased will not handle 300 lb person. The unit we purchased is really great and we are very happy with the unit.

This can support 200 pounds. My friend is close to that weight and he was on it before. What it can't support is anyone rocking their body up and down or side to side. If you start any many movements on this then no matter who much the weight it felt like it was gonna break.

Per the user manual it states the maximum user weight is 300 pounds; 600 pounds total including the user and the added weight.

I don't know that Maximum. However, including my body weight, I have had over 500lbs and the bench worked fine.

In the specs on amazon is says 45 pounds which seems right after assembling mine. Remember it is designed for two adults but I think the bench can hold 500 pounds or more of people weight. We are very happy with product after 1 year of ownership.

When I researched it 2 yrs ago I think there was a 300lb limit. I know for taller people they thought this machine was too short. I am only 5'3 so I don't have an issue but if u are 6' or more it may be too short.

Do not have manual available to confirm but I am 6' 200 lbs and no problem. It is very well made and I would guess it can easily handle someone 300+ lbs.

My husband weighs 220lb. The bench is very sturdy, I imagine it would hold more!

I never doubted it is 600 lbs. This is an excellent product that allows me to do at least 5 additional workouts that would be impossible for me in my home gym.

The end user in our situation weighs 155 lbs and there have been no issues to date. I tossed the packaging, which may have listed a maximum weight limit. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.

Please don't hold me to this, but I think I read somewhere a 300 lb max. I would check with the manufacturer to be certain.

This meant as a general Comment for all the Answers: Thank you everyone for all your answers. At topping 300lbs, I suspect I wouldn't be able to even sit on this without being worried about crushing it, heh. I usually don't pay a lot of attention to weight limits on things that seem like they should be ultra sturdy (I have no problems climbing a ladder with a 200lb rating, for instance, I just don't jump up and down on it and I balance my weight). But it sounds like this would be an injury waiting to happen. Thank you all for taking your time to answer this!

I don't know if there is but I'm 210 lbs and it feels stable to me. But I'm not the manufacturer and can't state what the safe limits of the bench are
