    Great bench. There is a slight gap in the middle based on your height. I utilize a rolled up towel to allow adjustment

    Need improvement for shoulder position

    My only issue with this bench, when you are trying to do shoulder press, the chair is angled too far forward. So you're in an awkward position/angle when shoulder pressing. So I'm taking points off for that.
