- Today we are reviewing the XMARK 7604 FID Weight Bench.
I think for the price, this bench is a great addition for a home gym. Features a 1500lb capacity, only 85lbs so easy to move around the gym, 7 adjustable back positions along with 3 different positions for the seat. Removable leg attachment so when not doing decline presses, you can get it out of the way.
Overall, this is a great bench that I have had for over 5 years and still looks brand new. Check this out if you are looking for an affordable adjustable bench that not only performs great, but looks great as well.
Bro low key I’ve never heard of this brand! But it seems solid!
Xmark is like Body Solid, they make relatively decent equipment for home gyms but nothing like Rep or Rogue.
My issue with this bench are the wheel placement, you have them on top like I seen everyone have them, including mine that I bought used so it was pre-built and I don’t know if that’s how it was in the instruction manual and the only time I have ever seen them on the bottom was on this video on 4:07 which to me I always thought about flipping the bar so the wheel’s would be on the bottom which make more sense to me for reason being is that you don’t have to lift the opposite side of the bench so high in order for the wheel’s to make contact with the floor. The other issue is the U of the legs/feet, yes it makes it very stable but for me and this might be a tall people issue I’m only 5’11 is they get in my way when I’m benching and if I’m walking by I can’t tell you how many times I’ve nearly tripped or stumped my foot on that U. The last issue and you already mentioned it is that it doesn’t have a handle but these 3 are minor thing’s. The bench is solid. You said it’s a brand from X-mark but my bench says Keyfitness but they are literally identical. Don’t know if they went through a transition maybe someone reading this if they care enough to do a little bit of research 😅
@@Myguiltyleisure yeah I’m not sure about the brand Keyfitness. I looked them up and they do look identical but this one is from X-mark Fitness and it looks like another company just copied the design maybe. I agree with the U shape too, my gf is short so she actually puts her feet on it for stability and works well, but definitely a tripping hazard if you’re not careful.
@Goreckfit Could I change out the horseshoe support? I was also wondering if the tube cap behind the head of padding comes off
The front leg is bolted on so In theory you could change it out, the only cap that comes off is the one by the seat, I’m between that small gap where the preacher curl goes in. If your talking about prying off the end caps, you could because they aren’t bolted or screwed on.
@@GoreckiFit Thats good. I'm pretty set on getting this bench , I think it could be modified regarding the tube caps coming off. I had 2 concept ideas for this bench. One involved adding a pulley wheel at the top of the tubing from behind the head rest and a cable that extends from the wheel to a kinked lever from the back like the matt wenning tricep bench. Another involved a pullover attachment which could be added where the leg curl goes or from behind the head pad to mimic the resistance curve of a commercial pullover machine. The 2nd idea might be a stretch , but if the rubber feet of the bench were also replaced with additional tubing or wood that adds a few inches in width you could attach plate pegs so you could add more stability with 1in plates so there's no tipping.
@@tylermoran1826 those sound like great modifications and way over my expertise level. I’d say if you do buy it, use Amazon if it’s still available because if you get it and decide something might not work, you can return it and get your money back.
What size are the red handles? What is the texture of them and do they come off? With the design I'm thinking of the lever has a deep hook like opening where it sits on them or my second design is a lever with holes that go through the handles and then clasped together and screwed as one piece if that made sense
@@tylermoran1826 the handles are hollow tubing at .750 dia welded on and there is a small hole through them. They are covered w a rubber red handle that slides over it.
I bought the 7630 during the pandemic because it was the only one shipping.
Built quality was very good. But it's too high (21"), and the gap was too big.
Yeah it was definitely slim pickings during the pandemic. This bench was actually perfect for my gf and she now kind of stole it when she works out and I use my Rogue bench which lacks any comfort but it’s solid as a tank.
Yeah, I have this bench, but you cannot buy any of the two attachments! It's freak'in bizarre. I'm considering buying an Ironmaster Pro just so I can have the leg extension that Xmark no longer provides!
Unfortunately, I think they discontinued those attachments which I agree, is bizarre. The IronMaster Pro I heard good things about!!
@@GoreckiFit Now I'm looking at the Powertech WORKBENCH FID with attachment ability. Looks like the Powertech stuff is even more heavy-duty than the Ironmaster Pro and the attachments look even better made than the Ironmaster at similar price points.
@@andynonimuss6298 nice, plus they have some other great attachments if you wanted to expand a bit afterwards.
Will bench work with funtional trainer ?
Well it won’t physically connect, but yes the bench will work if you just pull it over to the functional trainer. Also depends on the size of functional trainer, if it’s a more compact in size, you might need to pull the bench out a bit more to use it.
Sir bench kashashee le
Do you think this bench can withstand a frontal crane-kick? Asking for a friend. :)
I’m sure it can, 11 gauge steel would result in the person kicking it to probably end up injuring themself and limping around at the end of the Karate Kid 😂
@@GoreckiFit Nice! I completely destroyed my last target and I need something more durable to practice on. Erp, I mean my friend does...
Nice video! Thanks
Thank you!!
You didn’t show the decline.
I mentioned it but you’re right, I didn’t adjust the bench to decline position since I did the video holding my phone. Decline works great though.
Who makes those round yellow dbs? Good reviews. More concise than most.
Thank you, the round yellow dumbbells are made from a company called NuFit Corp and they are called NuBells.
@@GoreckiFit Thanks!
Does it have leg extension ?
They used to sell one separately but I haven’t seen it available for over a few years now so they may have discontinued it. It was the XM-7455 leg extension/curl attachment.
Thanks for your information. Perfect what i need.
@@banhbao3514 happy to help!!
You could have had a Rep Fitness AB 3000 for the same price.
This bench has an awful gap on it.
It certainly does and I’d replace it but the gf loves it and the gap doesn’t bother her so I let her keep it and I bought myself the Rogue AB 3.0 because I mainly wanted a solid bench with the kickstand feature to store it vertically.
Also i would be tripping on those front legs if i lifted heavy dumbells and tried to walk backwards to sit on it.
@@Oakleyworld I’ve done 90’s on that bench with my Powerblocks and I’d agree, even knowing it’s there.. you will still bump into it. I’ve never fallen but it’s definitely not my design of choice. I actually have the Rogue AB 3.0 and this one is more comfortable, but doesn’t store upright and isn’t as solid.
@@GoreckiFit I can't say nothing bad about Rogue in general, their stuff top notch.
@@Oakleyworld yeah Rogue is pretty solid but they do have shipping and QC issues. I haven’t experienced any but I’ve read about a few and some of the people I follow have talked about them. It happens, overall still a good company.
Amazon has it now for $209.
That’s a great deal!!
