Product Overview
The Marcy Diamond MD 857 Olympic Surge Bench is designed to give you a multiple variety of exercises all in one location. It has a leg extension for you to focus on your lower body and it comes with a locking mechanism that keeps it steady so you can get a good leverage for abdominal crunches. It can be fitted with weight plates so you can sculpt your calves and thighs.
The back support of the Marcy Diamond MD 857 Olympic Surge Bench is adjustable at multiple points which give a great range of free weight resistance. Aside from that, the uprights can hold Olympic size bars and plates so you can do presses at different angles. Just above the rear foundation are two protruding short bars that hold plates so you can add or decrease weights with ease.
The Marcy Diamond MD 857 Olympic Surge Bench is built to be tough with its high grade steel frame. To keep you comfortable throughout you exercise, the seat and back rest surfaces are foam padded and so are the rollers that hold your knee and ankle joints. The entire steel body has a durable powder coated finish which greatly improves its looks and capability to fight off corrosion.

Cons
In the front part, the diamond patterned plastic tends to pull off after a while and so does the plastic caps located on the sides of the leg caps. These flaws don’t affect the usability of the product but for some it’s not that pleasing to look at.
