Filters use published figures only. A product whose brand doesn't publish a value is hidden when you filter on it.
Load limits only mean something when the brand says what they cover: the user, the weights, or both. Enter your figures to see which benches define their limit and whether you're within it. A pass is within the stated figure, not a tested safe load for every angle.
The table shows the key specs. Tick up to 4 to compare every published spec side by side, or open a product for its full sheet. Line drawings show the type of equipment, not the exact product. Manufacturer-stated specifications. "What the limit covers" records the brand's own definition; where the page doesn't say, the load check reports it as unknown rather than guessing. "Not published" means the checked page doesn't state the value. Flat vs adjustable benches. How to choose a home gym bench.
