    They really should make the adjustable bench the standard that comes with the machine. I'm sure that thing only costs a small amount more to produce than the flat one.

      @@UsawaFitness ⁠I have the leg attachment and the preacher curl. Love the options with the Speediance. Had to retrofit and install eyelets on the sides of the pads but seem to work pretty good. I’m not a workout expert so I may not be hooked up for perfect form, but I think it works pretty well. I hook to the floor for leg extensions, to about #4 on the riser for curls.
      It doesn’t fit on the platform but I have an extended platform made up of a hard cutting board and some feet. Works perfect. I just slide that out or back when needed.

      @@UsawaFitness there were a few back in December. Don’t know if it was the first batch. And they have fixed. But if you look at your bench at the welds you will see if they look good. On mine the weld was very thin and barley went on the leg end. I never used it since I already have an Adjustable bench. And no it did not fit on the platform. I don’t think one side of the bench being 3 inch higher on side is going to make a difference.
