"The Wide Body Bench" with Mark Apuzzo
Season 2! Episode 18!
So honored to be joined this week by the founder, CEO and president of Wide Body Bench (https://widebodybench.com/collections/benches/products/wide-body-bench-2-0), Mark Apuzzo!
Mark and I connected through Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/widebodybench?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&stkn=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==). I found one of his first generation benches on Facebook Marketplace for a steal and decided to add it to my home gym arsenal. After posting a few videos of me using the bench (integrated with my Speediance Gym Monster), Wide Body Bench (aka Mark), reached out to me. We chatted a bit and as I learned more about his story I knew I had to get him on the podcast.
Mark is a 20 year vet in the Air Force, currently based in Montana. During one of his previous deployments early in his career he was introduced to powerlifting and fell in love. As he's grown in his lifting career, he realized there was something missing in the space. Mark and his wife worked hard to come up with the Wide Body Bench and it's extended ecosystem. His passion for the product and his goal of making the world's MOST premium benches shines through in this episode. Mark is so passionate and with reason. His product is AMAZING.
I have zero affiliation with WBB, but I can genuinely say this is one of the BEST home gym products I've ever used, and the version 2.0 is leaps and bounds better than my original facebook marketplace purchase. If there is one product that you could add to your home gym that would give you the most bang for your buck, it is the Wide Body Bench.
Definitely give this episode a listen and if you're interested, go check out their products HERE (l.instagram.com/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.widebodybench.com%2F%3Futm_source%3Dig%26utm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_content%3Dlink_in_bio%26fbclid%3DPAcGRvZgJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA85MzY2MTk3NDMzOTI0NTkAAacWporx97lWjTfqZljaxNV0luxTxHosgoWqG_6hMsPWJOTctpK5my4hQGH1CA_aem_LSymww5QYkyF8QW7Xme3AQ&e=AUCuAN1IpgmRP4dTq7GOwTw7WvbXTHLNB_SpJYArGs2vEU_6pWIQSATd02HDjzLW693fGBtVFegwnYYvWV9alBX61L7qbWMKpddP_99Zhw5RU-zD_CbMk_zzKW11keF3plui9WtAI0KB). To be clear I have no affiliation, I receive no kick-backs, I simply LOVE the product and I'm honored to have Mark on the show.
If you love home gym equipment there is one product that is on the market that is a MUST HAVE for any true home gym enthusiast. The WIDE BODY BENCH (https://widebodybench.com/collections/benches/products/wide-body-bench-2-0) is a true "Jack of All Trades". Not just a premium adjustable bench, but with their patent pending ecosystem of attachments its also a multi-press (chest, incline, and shoulders), a pec fly, and a elite level seated bicep curl. Since discovering this piece my home workouts have gone to an entirely different level.
The 2.0 bench is built like a tank, ultra premium padding and construction, and unlike any other home gym piece you've ever seen. If you're looking for your next home gym purchase... look no further than the Wide Body Bench 2.0 (https://widebodybench.com/collections/benches/products/wide-body-bench-2-0).
I'm hoping to finish my new book in the next few months, with the same title as this podcast. In the interim if you love the show and want to support, I'd appreciate you picking up a copy of my first book "How 2 Look Good Naked" (https://a.co/d/7X3yyhv).
I've also recently launched a new Substack page with the same name as this podcast "Exercise is Bullshit (https://exerciseisbullshit.substack.com/)". If you're a fan of the show I hope you'll consider checking out my substack. It contains all of my podcast episodes as well as weekly articles dispelling common fitness industry myths.
