  • That was bad ass!

  • This is genious you could rep to failiue and mess with heavy weights without a spotter.

  • Dang that is nice!

  • The answer to a question that was never asked !!

  • Genius

  • That's a great idea! It's a great example of thinking outside of the box!

  • worthless lol

  • thats like 50lbs pussy

  • @gibmirbenzin54 dude he was just using that as an example, i would like to see a video of that actually in use though. i can't really see failing on 95 lbs with such control.

  • Nwmrkt was talking about a power rack, not a smith machine.

  • That is a very cool idea..... You get full range of motion and go to failure and not have to worry about snapping your head off your neck. Have you started a patent or marketing of any kind....I want one.

  • cool

  • or you could just use a power rack...

  • thanks for the response:

    Our research showed that a power rack restricts motion in a less-than-desirable way. Our device offers an alternative that provides a natural bench press motion which which is not quite a vertical line.

  • @thinksketch Power racks dont restrict motion at all, what that guy was referring to was the spotter catchers you can use in a power rack, set up an inch above your chest just incase you fail.

    However i do like this design, its very unqiue :p

  • @thinksketch 3 things:

    1) So if you drop the bar, you're still screwed. Not only does it seem like the bench is lowered slowly, but you need to initiate the lowering manually

    2) You should NOT have your motion restricted in a power rack. The bars should be placed at a height which prevents injury. Using a range of motion lower than your own chest with a barbell is impossible unless your form sucks and you are off balance.

    3) $? I suspect Power Rack is even cheaper than this.

  • fuckin sweet idea man. wonder how it'd work with heavier weights.

  • @Ascendancy12345 probably just the same as it did right there..... think of it like a barber stool. the barber stool doesnt SHOOT downward when the fat man comes in for a cut and shave does it? if anything just add a max load limit for the different hydraulic pumps (presses? idk the term for the thing that does the damping)
