Speaking of videos, Charlie, why don't you have a video of your bench going up and down?

I just watch a couple of those and see a pretty glaring flaw. When it's lowered, that threaded rod with the eye-loop, sticks out pretty far, right at the level of many knees.

Ever hit your kneecap on a metal support underneath a table at a restaurant? Last time I did, I about puked from the pain.

Welcome to the life of those confined to wheelchairs.

er, I was joking.

FWIW, I've got a significant amount of wheelchair (couple years), crutches (1+years), completely confined to a bed (1 year), one or two canes (>9 years) time to understand the issues - a lot of that time is during the past 12 or so years.

Next time I bonk my kneecap, I'm going to suck it up and think of you.
