Working out at home is a great idea. Most of us lead busy lives, and not having to drive to a gym, park the car and get changed can save us some serious time. During Covid, exercising at home is also a good idea if you are looking to limit your risk of contracting the virus. Exercising at home can also save you tons of money. You can take one year's worth of gym dues and create an excellent home gym that will last you decades.
A good weight bench is an important addition to your home gym. I recently picked up the Weider XRS 20 workout bench. This is an inexpensive, versatile bench that has added an entirely new level to my home gym experience. Following are some of the pro’s and con’s of this workout bench.
Pro’s
1) This bench is sturdy and can hold up to 610 lbs.
2) It was easy to put together.
3) It adjusts to both incline and decline positions. This gives you multiple options to work your chest.
4) There is a leg attachment, so you can do leg extensions and hamstring curls. These are two great exercises for the lower body.
5) There is a preacher curl attachment, which is a great option to isolate your biceps.
6) It is relatively inexpensive at $166.97.
7) It looks sharp.
8) It is easy to adjust the incline/decline settings. It just pops in and out of the different settings. You don’t need to pull out a pin.
Con's
1) The only negative I can find with this bench is that it is a little high off the ground. This can make getting your dumbbells into position for a bench press a bit more challenging. Not a major issue, but I just thought I’d mention it.
Would I Recommend the Weider XRS 20 Weight Bench?
Absolutely! I have been able to add several exercises to my repertoire since acquiring this bench. It is holding up great and I am very happy with my purchase. If you have the space, consider this bench.
