Two posts, open front, clean and simple. This is that, but better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two-post setup uses one pair of 60\" uprights at the back and the Converter Bench’s own front foot on the other end. Front foot stabilizers keep everything locked in place. Add your choice of j-cups and spotter arms for safe solo training that the old commercial gym benches never had.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s less expensive than the four-post setup but gives you the same dedicated bench station experience. IPF height is maintained (because we engineered the crossmember holes and front foot height to line up perfectly), and you still get full access to all Hydra and Manticore attachments on the uprights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you’re done pressing, the front foot stabilizers double as bar storage. And if you need the uprights for something else, wheel the bench out in seconds.
