The difference between a used bench selling for $50 vs $100 is fixing the upholstery. Great video! In terms of finding quality equipment, torn upholstery causes people to sell low so it’s a great DIY to make something you find for cheap a great addition to your home gym.

Also look at $20 harbor freight folding mechanics pad. I have a vertical leg press with an horrible pad. It was going cost time and money get it a better pad. But harbor frights folding mechanic pad fit just right, has a head rest and can be adjusted to 1.5 to 3 inches thick depending how unfold it. I take with me even when go to a commercial gym and have another in the car for if car breaks down.

That is awesome! Harbor Freight is full of useful stuff to use in the gym.

Great tip. Can also use the cover and the padding from the HF mechanics pad for the materials necessary to reupholster a workout bench.

@dylanowens3173 such a great idea! I really like the extra folding pad either for my head and my legs. Does the vinyl has good grip for bench press?

Thanks for the video! For seal rows, does the foam compress when you put yourself on top of it?

@KaizenDIYGym 5 ай бұрын

Yes. The amount depends on the density of the foam.
