apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Um, this looks dangerous, although the weights, including the barbell, looks relatively light. Nonetheless, I could see the base cracking under the weight. Also, doing presses on a bench with leather straps seems like a recipe for disaster for the back and shoulders.

this seems incredibly excessive, and I agree with david's comments. there is a reason a work out bench is built as it is, and a recliner is built as it is.
