The first thing you notice when you lie back on the Storm Series Python is the breadth of the bench. Most gym backrests are 10 inches wide, more than enough for most users, but the Python bench’s 12-inch width ensures that your retracted shoulder blades never feel the edge. Furthermore, 7 inches of adjustable seat elevation ensure maximum comfort for most users, regardless of height. The upholstery is another immediate standout. At 3 inches thick and 4 feet long, the Python’s bench offers unparalleled support, comfort, and stability, all three of which are prerequisites for the lifts you’ll be doing on this platform. The Storm Series Python is made with 7-gauge steel and has a weight capacity of well over two thousand pounds.  With such high aspirations come safety concerns which is why we have also taken the experience of the spotter into consideration. Spotters stand sentry on an elevated stainless steel platform 10 inches off the ground so that your assistant’s lift resembles a deadlift as closely as possible. If, however, the barbell is dropped, UHMW-bolstered safety catches extend 2 feet from the foremost upright to give you the largest possible margin for error when setting a new PR. From the half-inch screw-on lock pins to the heavy-duty nylon rollers in our J-hooks, every feature is over-engineered to help you take your max incline chest press into world-record territory. Besides the ergonomic and safety features, the Python comes with a wide array of user features, including pegs at the bottom of the bench for resistance bands, black-powder coating for heightened durability, and laser-etched triquetra designs. We'll even throw in customizable upholstery at an added cost. The only potential deterrent for the would-be buyer is its sheer size. The Storm Series Python is enormous. Its dimensions (64 x 53 x 82) and weight (580 lbs) make it a monument in any gym, but its durability, performance, and features make it the only incline chest press you will ever need.
