"Garbage, weld broke and I went down.
Complete JUNK. It is supposed to hold a person up to 250lbs and total weight of 800lbs. I am well under 250 and was lifting NO WHERE near 550 so it should have been perfectly fine. But nope, a weld snapped and I went down. So, this is junk. Only got it in December, so about a month old."

It is total pressure, including momentum. When pushing up, that adds a significant amount (and lessens when coming down).
An example:
Try to do a lat pulldown at 10lb below bodyweight without bracing your legs under a pad and feet off the floor. You will fly upward, and if you hang, slowly come back down. You are exerting more than your bodyweight in pressure due to your momentum. I can't do it slow enough not to fly upward (but maybe you can).
Full disclosure: Not buying this because I'm happy with my cheap adjustable bench from another brand.

I am also not a beast - I weigh about 180 and bench about 250, so I haven't truly pressed anywhere near it's weight limit, so most cheap benches are fine for me.
The biggest flaw is that it's slidey - use too much leg drive and the bench will move. I have a plywood backstop to prevent that.
