Has anyone done body beast with this bench?

I have not done body beast with this bench. However doing the Zane Experience with it works very well for me.

Jay, this bench is quite a bit lighter than those found inside a commercial gym. Saying that I can answer your question this way; yes you can do dragon flags, no problem. Stability may be a factor but with great core control you will be fine.

Yes. I topped a cedar chest with it so it could serve as a bench. Works fine!

Yes but I have not used it since I am familiar with many of the BodyBlade exercises

I'm sorry that I can't help you. The bench didn't quite fit the area for which it was bought -- vanity area (it was too high.) So, I returned it.

Yes, but have you never used the wheel, I'd suggest taking it extremely moderate. I suggest doing 2 extension only and possibly 1. The Ab Carver will do things to your muscle groups in the arms,chest,stomach and groin that you wouldn't imagine. Start slowly the first time and the next day you'll feel compelled to give up, but don't. After a couple weeks you'll develope stamina and will increase your reps and the fat will give way to muscle and a contoured stomach, back, arms, chest.

I have routinely done side bench triceps dips so definitely, yes. It is sturdy enough to do step ups, but you will risk tearing up the padding.

A lot. It took us days to assemble it. We received an incorrect part, called the company, and waited for the correct part. The correct part didn't have the same hole alignment, so assembly was quite difficult. Even now I'm reluctant to sit on it because I'm unsure of the sturdiness of the bench. It looks good, but....

As someone who has been training for nearly 35 yrs ., I have use d all levels of fitness equipment. Commercial and home gym. I bought thi bench for my personal home gym when I decided to stop going to a local gym. It is simple , but well made. I have found the unit to perform well for me and my son. I hope this helps.

Yes. I use it for personal training, therefore I use it as a swat rack and bench press.

What I have read about it is you can have 2 people set up to work out together. I have not done it yet.

This is a great bench for back excercises, it works the abs too but I don't know if you could use it for doing situps easily. I find if you lift yourself up when doing the back extensions it hits the abs pretty hard.

I agree with the other response. You cannot really do squats with this bench. It is not set up for that. It's pretty much for bench presses only. I am not a personal trainer, only an at-home basement workout guy, but for me the quality of this bench has been fine. I only press about 110-120 lbs or so and for that, this quality seems ok. If your son is going for the gold, he needs to look around more, otherwise this one should be fine (albeit without the ability to do squats).

You should not have a problem I have had myself dad and two brothers on one bench and it did great. I glued the boards to the legs when I screwed them in for a stronger fit.

Yes absolutely. In fact Im doing incline this week. I wouldn't trade this bench at all and couldn't be happier with it!

I do, though I don't know that it's really made for that. It's high enough off the ground so that it wouldn't be good if you were fairly short or if you had bad knees. For me, the bench works okay for step-ups. I don't share the other reviewer's concern about stability; though the bench is tall, it's not too narrow (at least for me).
