Bench Press - Take a Seat..Anywhere

Bench Press Seating

Part of my Gallery ROC tour included this super invention to portably park your posterior -Bench Press. Don't be fooled by the name, this nifty creation has nothing to do with pumping iron. It is all about having a seat whilst waiting on a bus. Along the Q39 & B57 bus routes; there are tons of stops however, no place to sit - unless you count an aggressive looking fire hydrant or two. I chatted up the guys from BROLAB and marveled at the craftsmanship of their posthaste chaise. Check out video Bench Press -BRO LAB
