Anyone seen the Kickstarter for the "MAX bench" press? Thoughts?

It's design looks really cool and helpful. I know there's been a time when I got *almost* trapped under the bar. Not to mention I am always afraid to lift heavy enough when I just don't have a spotter there to help me.


I think it looks pretty cool, so i thought i'd share if anyone was interested in supporting it. :)

    About time.

    In the mean time, if you have no spotter, try weighted pushups. :+1:

    Not sure what it buys you over pressing in the squat rack or power rack, but it's an interesting concept.

    Just give me my ER rack. Unless you have zero arch, the safeties properly set will protect you.

    When I saw this posted a while back I thought "solves a problem that doesn't exist". Still thinking the same. You could spend less money on a rack and have something that provides more reliable safety for more than one move. There is no way I'd trust a hydraulic system with my life either. Pretty much all downsides to that setup.
