Great invention! Ab Mat always creates perfect garage gym hacks that are so useful and versatile. I use the Bench Wedge to convert to a utility seat for BB, DB and Cable exercises. It’s great for converting your incline bench and flat bench for chest supported exercises. I think it’s a must have. Cheaper than getting a different bench and takes up way less space.
First time AbMat buyer. I love their products, but find them quite pricey for my budget. But given the needs of my Studio Home Gym, I thought this would be a great addition given the cost. I have found it both useful and helpful to have and provide access to multiple exercises that I normally did not have. Grear overall quality and build. Only con is that its unfortunate that they used such a cheap thin strap and buckle. IMHO, they should have used better strap material and maybe used a locking mechanism like the 2POOD belts and other bench pad (by GOB) that I have. In all honesty, that's the cheapest buckle I have ever used. I just feel like it'll eventually break. The pad is tough as nails, but the buckle cheap flimsy plastic and the strap is very light weight. 😅 But I definitely recommend this if you have a small home gym and are trying to maximize space!
Worth the money because it saved me from buying another bench. Wish I had this years ago!!!
A1+ Abmat is the best
It’s perfect to avoid being beak to beak with the bench’s back pad.
I needed a short back, 90 degree bench to do military presses (Behind the neck, and Front). My Body Masters bench had too much of an angle to be exactly what I want. I actually got another bench to do it (Expensive), but then got the bench wedge. My Body Masters utility bench with the wedge is just about 90 degrees on the mark and works very well. It's made very nice and attaches with just a strap. I'm sure I'll find other uses for it as time goes on.
It was better than I thought it would be. I have been using it for more than its intended use. It's very versatile and portable. One of the other ways I use it is to set myself up higher when benching. I should have bought this sooner.
Excellent sturdy pad that’s let me do so much! Rows, back supported tricep extension and anything that is chest supported.
Bench Wedge is one of those small pieces of gear that makes a huge difference in a garage gym. It locks onto any bench—no sliding, no fuss—and the strap tightens up in seconds. The padding has just the right give: solid support when you’re pushing serious weight, but comfortable enough that you’re not feeling like you’re lying on concrete. I throw it on my adjustable incline bench for chest-supported rows, delt flyes, presses, and tricep work. You get more room to move without jamming your head into the bench, and it just feels better—cleaner setup, smoother motion, and no face smash.
The Bench Wedge is so versatile in the home gym. It doesn’t slide around on any type of bench material, the strap is quick and easy to adjust, and it compresses just enough to not hurt while still providing support under heavy loads. I use it with my adjustable incline bench for chest supported rows, rear/lateral delt flyes, shoulder presses, and overhead tricep work. It gives you enough clearance from the bench to allow unhindered head, shoulder, and arm movement. It’s also nice to not have your face smushed into the bench when facing it.
New favorite setup for rows: chest supported with bench wedge. It works well for dumbbell overhead extensions, too. Versatile and low footprint, a great addition to an adjustable bench. Ask for the extension strap if you have a wide bench pad.
This thing works for chest supported rows, seated OHP, Tricep extensions and more! Awesome addition to my home gym
Works as it should
Very happy with the Bench Wedge. High quality material and feels solid.
The Bench Wedge accomplishes exactly what it has set out to do. A solid accessory piece for your home gym or fitness facility. It allows you to work from a few more supportive angles on common bench exercises such as dumbbell incline rows, seal rows, dumbbell or bar overhead triceps extensions, overhead shoulder presses and more.
Great addition to my workout routine
I love the bench wedge. It allows me to do several row variations without my face going into the bench. It’s well built and doesn’t move around when strapped down.
I use this for getting the correct angle for anterior deltoids. I am recovering from shoulder replacement surgery. I needed a specific angle. I tried three others and they fell short. This one work perfectly.
Awesome piece of equipment thank you so much for making it.
Highly useful cushion and wedge device. I use it both on my functional trainer and on the bench.
Great addition to the garage gym. Much better seated press setup with the bench wedge
Wasn’t sure I was going to keep- ordered it for another exercise. However; I gave it some thought- took it to the gym and did dumbbell curls and bentover rows on the Smith Machine with comfort and ease! Keeping in my arsenal for sure!
It's a comfortable pad. It's made doing overhead extension and chest supported rows much more stable. I've even left it on my bench for dumbbell overhead press.
Surprisingly high quality and works great. When you buy American made products you expect premium quality and this doesn't disappoint. This matters to me when I'm doing heavy shoulder press and stability matters
I'm very Satisfied, It does what it is meant to do very effectively.
The BENCH BUDDY is everything AbMat advertises. It absolutely helps me perform exercises using proper form, which makes my muscles work harder, which results in me getting better results. I’m an old guy (80yrs) and use two canes because I have no balance. I do all of my resistance exercises on a bench. So, the BENCH BUDDY has been a great aid to me for getting more out of my workouts.
Well built, comfortable and universal
Great quality! Can’t wait until chest and shoulder day!
Works as intended / described
Works as described. Happy with my purchase
Received as described
Really like for dumbbell presses with our Rogue Bench
Works great.
The pad itself is very good quality and just by strapping it to my bench I was able to add a few new exercises to my sessions. The strap on the other hand could be much better quality. It’s very thin and comes undone when putting pressure and force on the pad. The strap needs to be thicker and more secure for this item to be 5 stars but overall it was a decent purchase.
great for cable rows
Great product made of great quality.
Works great. So far enjoying it.
Too soon to rate. Stability may be an issue
Looks great and very stable. Allows you to do so many more workout, like military press and over head triceps extensions easily.
