ATX Adjustable Bench MBX-520 Mk2

Thoughts on the ATX Adjustable Bench MBX-520 Mk2:

The MBX-520 mark 2 edition represents the biggest challenge to ATX’s own array of fabulous benches. While, for a commercial gym, I still favour the MBX-800 and MBX-750, the MBX-520 is unmatched in it’s price bracket for a home gym bench. The heavyweight MBX-660 is preferred, or, if you have a wall-mount rack, the MBX-650; however, you can not ignore the offering of the MBX-520 for the money. If budget is tight, the MBX-520 is the sensible choice, alongside say a 600-series of power rack.
