No, it'll be perfect; in fact, I believe the girl in the photo is quite tall, as she makes the bench appear short; however, at 5'9, you'll be fine.

Initially, this bench and the other XMark model were my only options. Although the other model was less expensive, I chose this one because of the solid faux leather padding for my back and the thicker leg rollers - It's very comfortable, and, as other reviewers have said, it's comparable to a gym. The steel construction is amazing - The only drawback is that the next time we move, it will be heavy and awkward.
I bought this because I hate doing situps, but having this piece of equipment makes it pretty easy to get them done and 100% better for me than using% Despite the high cost (currently $200), I figured that the cost of not exercising and developing a hernia later in life or other problems today would be more than $200 just to see a doctor. If you look after this equipment, it will last a lifetime. br>Also, here's a tip: We share a small apartment with two other people - You can store this as two pieces if you remove the top screw (it's only there as a secondary safety measure in case the pull bar slips) and it leans up against the wall without taking up too much space if you remove the top screw when assembling. If you believe you require the safety pin, you can take the original bolt to a hardware store and purchase a longer bolt with the same diameter to insert and remove when needed.
I already own (and love) XMark's Texas Star plates, so I expected the same level of satisfaction from this bench. br>br>When I got the package, I was a little disappointed because it said "Made in China" on it-- I've had some bad luck with Chinese garbage disposal equipment. Nonetheless, I assembled it and was pleasantly surprised to find that everything fit together well and that the overall quality is comparable to that of a gym. br>br>The ability to adjust the height of the chair is fantastic. There isn't much of a decline angle on some of the decline benches for sale here. This one appears to go up to 45 degrees, which is ideal for ab workouts. br>br>There are a few things to keep in mind: * This takes up a lot of room. br>br> There isn't any way to fold it. It will take up slightly more than 5'x2' on the floor. br> * I'm talking about durability and stability, despite the fact that I said it would rival a gym's. It isn't as "fancy" as one found in a gym. It doesn't have wheels at the bottom to make it easier to move around, and the height adjustment bar doesn't have rollers or bearings to reduce friction when making adjustments. That said, it was still 5 stars because it met my expectations.
It's extremely well-made, and I use it on a daily basis as part of my favorite exercise equipment. br>br>One thing that isn't immediately apparent is how simple it is to change heights (via the red spring-loaded ball). It's simple to do, feels silky smooth, and only takes a few seconds. This comes in handy when switching between backward and forward exercises, such as sit-ups vs. reverse curls, because I do my sit-ups at the highest setting, but I have to lower it for other exercises. br>br>It was a little more expensive than the cheap and flimsy ones, but I believe the extra money spent on this bench was well worth it.
I've been looking for an abdominal bench similar to the one I use at my local LAF and haven't been able to find one. Unfortunately, there aren't many genuine alternatives available. I finally gave in and went to a local gym equipment store that caters to gyms and wealthy individuals. I was able to locate the exact one that I use at my gym. Unfortunately, a comfortable, stable, and effective ab bench required an investment of $800. I'd had it with trying. So why did I think this would suffice until I came across this product? I bought the XMark Pull up tower / leg raise / dip and it was excellent. Because the quality was excellent and it was available at a reasonable price, I decided to give this ab bench a try. This ab bench, like the tower, is sturdy, made of high-quality materials, and extremely comfortable. It doesn't quite match the gym model, but it's a lot cheaper, so get it; you won't be disappointed. If that helps to reference its quality/stability, I'm 5'9" and weigh 260 pounds.
Overall, I think it's pretty good. If you're over 6 feet tall, it'll be about 5 inches too short, but if you're not, it should be fine. The quality is good, and it's close to an industrial grade bench. The rivets that hold the pads in place are a little clumsy and awkward, but so far they've held up well. A minor criticism of the design; When doing a standard forward inclined sit-up, the backward leg lift inverse handle is placed in a position that allows you to do a standard forward inclined sit-up. Up will put the handle directly in your face, so be aware of this to avoid giving yourself a black eye. eye. br>Assembly was simple and straightforward, and the instructions were clear.
Although the product is sturdy, the assembly leaves a lot to be desired. For example, it comes with a YQP-labeled white vial. 09 has a lot going on. However, there is no mention of this mysterious material in the instructions. I ordered and received a second bench from the same vendor, which was made of the same mysterious material. Furthermore, the wrench that comes with the kit is incompatible with the nuts.
My sit- Ups are now more painful, but in a good way, and I can finally do them without cracking my back thanks to the padding. The construction is solid. It's simple to put together, and it's also easy to level. I'd suggest it. In addition, I got the XMark Adjustable Dumbbell Weight Bench (XM-XM-XM-XM-XM-XM-XM-XM-XM-X 7630), and this complements it nicely. I believe it is worthwhile to spend the extra money over less expensive, lower-quality equipment.
For the money, this is a fantastic purchase. Except for the cheap caps that don't keep the rollers in place, I like everything about this. I would have paid a little more for better ones. This is a sturdy board that is simple to assemble. It would have been ideal if the locking caps had been better. It's still the best bang for your buck; trust me, I've done my homework. There are certainly better options available, but they will set you back several hundred dollars.
