Congrats. Is this your first machine? Interesting that it's on skyjacks.

I just noticed that bench has a back splash on it. NICE!!!! The skyjacks don't bother me. I like my machines to be a little higher than most and I'm only 5' 4" tall. Less stooping. The benches I see at BB look way to low to me.
