The bowflex 5 1 bench is well made and appears to be good quality.
We ll compare the 5 1s with two similarly priced benches and hopefully by the end of the review you will have a good idea if this bench is the right one for you.
So already there are an extra two positions over the bowflex selecttech 3 1 bench having six positions allows for dozens of different exercises and ultimate workout versatility.
There was another bench that i was considering called the xmark adjustable fid weight bench.
I started putting it together and when i unwrapped the padded back to install it which is one of the last steps i noticed there was a rip in the upper left.
You can see that this bench is very much advanced from the bowflex 3 1 that i have reviewed earlier.
The box i received was not damaged but everything inside the box was kind of loose and moving around it appeared.
