Customer photo review of APEX STRYKER PAD

Super underrated attachment. It’s extremely versatile—you can put it on either end of the bench and turn it either direction and there’s tons of different angles. It’s really great for overhead work because there’s no bench in the way. It’s also nice for chest supported row. You can do preacher curls with it too, though it’s not wide enough for both arms. But overall, this attachment is a must if you train arms

Customer photo review of APEX STRYKER PAD

Very much enjoy the addition to my little space. Will say the knob was a bit marked up cosmetically but it functions and won’t mark off for that. Tho only knock I would say is doing rows the tilt knob sticks out a bit so rows with free weights hit it.

APEX STRYKER PAD

Customer photo review of APEX STRYKER PAD

Stryker pad is one of the main reasons I chose to wait for the Apex to release instead of buying the Freak Athlete ABX or other bench ecosystem. The others companies’ solution to shorten the back pad by a foldaway top section looks lower quality. This doesn’t compromise a solid full length back pad for benchpress and feels more purpose built for shoulder press. Plus it adds huge functionality for chest supported and seal rows, and dumbbell preacher curls. Only thing I might have done differently is to combine the Stryker with the matrix machine pad somehow as a single preacher attachment. If the back pad on the Stryker were a little taller so it nearly touches the bench when oriented vertically the pad dimensions would be adequate to do barbell preacher curls like the matrix machine if they added some sort of rotational feature allowing the pad to pivot 90° so the wider portion orients horizontally. Not sure if that makes sense or would have been possible but I strongly prefer barbell preacher curls to single arm dumbbells. And this eliminates the need for multiple attachments. Nevertheless I love the versatility, solid build quality, and innovation I see from this company all around. Stryker pad is a no brainer attachment for the Apex system.

We’re really glad to hear the Stryker Pad was one of the main reasons you waited for the APEX Ecosystem and that you’re loving it so far.

Customer photo review of APEX STRYKER PAD

I purchased the Stryker Pad to use with my REP Blackwing Bench. Gym Equipment Influencer Gluck said it fits, and it does. I am not in the market for buying a new bench. I recently bought the Blackwing Bench and I do not have money to throw away every 6 months. Just because some new thing has come to market. However the Stryker Pad is a really great attachment. It solves many problems. It magnifies the workout capablities of my small area. I can do seal rows now. I can do better shoulder press movements. I really believe the people at APEX will continue to create better and more refined products as time goes on. Because they listen to good feedback.

This bench is great on its own, but having the ability to add attachments such as this one makes it even better. The Stryker Pad has made my workouts much more effective and is perfect for the exercises I love, such as upper back rows, preacher curls, and overhead extensions. Since using this, I have been able to make a lot more progress. I would recommend this product for anyone who wants to be as efficient and effective in the gym as possible!

Just got this Stryker pad for the APEX bench and I’m so happy with it. I’ve been struggling with military press and my previous bench didn’t allow me range of motion for my back and shoulders. This is so easy to use and adjustable to allow for better form! I also can use it for preacher curls and rows. The bench is great and this attachment is a perfect addition for my upper body workouts.

Customer photo review of APEX STRYKER PAD

APEX Stryker Pad does fit on REP Blackwing with some modifications to allow for Chest Supported Rows and Single Arm Preacher Curls. I had to grind down two sides of the 4 sided post that inserts into the square receptacle below the bench. I then marked with a center punch where I needed to drill out the pop pin hole. I used a step drill bit to drill out the hole for the pop pin. Now I can do chest supported rows off my weight stack on the back of the rack. I enclosed photos showing the work and one pic in use.

Customer video review of APEX STRYKER PAD

Really big fan of the Stryker pad. Very innovative and versatile piece for a good price. I have it paired with my Ironmaster SBPV2 and it works great! Just have to tighten down the knob a few extra times but its secure and I don't feel like I need to drill an extra hole for the pop pin. The pad is stable and easy to adjust. The feeling is very secure and supportive and I'm confident when using it as long as I have enough counterweight on the other side. My uses for the pad so far has been cable chest supported rows, high rows, over head tricep movements, and as a back support for cable flies and bayesian curls so I can get closer to the machine. Very happy with my purchase and looking forward to what's next from Apex Fitness!

Customer photo review of APEX STRYKER PAD

The Stryker pad is super versatile and really made a lot more things possible and comfortable in my setup. I have been able to mimic a lot of the Free Motion upper body machines using this pad with my Slim Gym. So far I have been using it for cable and dumbbell shoulder presses. Cable chest and incline chest presses. Chest supported rows. Cable rows and lat pulldowns. For the lat pulldowns, this has helped a lot as my ceiling height is very short and there is not enough height to do a proper pulldown, however, what I have been doing is angling the pad to the angle the cable pulls at and I rest against the pad and pull. Same motion and feeling. The only thing I run into is when using it, the front can begin to lift up. Throwing a 25lb plate on the seat keeps it from happening though and doesn't leave a dent in the padding of the bench. I think this is one of the attachments you must get for this bench. Oh and its a small footprint to store.

Customer photo review of APEX STRYKER PAD

I really like the Stryker pad. It solves a lot of the neck and shoulder discomfort I used to get when performing seated barbell overhead press. It also removes the annoying forehead on bench feeling when performing chest supported rows. It's definitely going to be a staple in my weekly rotation. I also found that it stores quite nicely using a wall mounted bike hanger.

Customer photo review of APEX STRYKER PAD

One of the simplest, yet still versatile attachments. It's nice to essentially have a configurable, removable back pad for the bench. Good for barbell rows, dumbell flies, overhead tricep extensions, etc. Flexible enough to get creative with, and small enough to not take up too much space.

Customer photo review of APEX STRYKER PAD

The back pad has absolutely exceeded expectations. You can angle it however it feels comfortable and it allows you to do anything overhead. Using it for seal rows has also been great, with absolutely no give. The two knobs can be agitating, but it’s absolutely worth it for the added stability. Fantastic product.

Store owner replied: Thanks so much for the awesome feedback! We’re really glad to hear the back pad has exceeded your expectations and that you’re enjoying how adjustable it is for different movements.

They can take a little getting used to, but we’re happy they’re helping keep everything solid and secure. Thanks again for your support, and we hope you keep crushing your workouts!

Customer video review of APEX STRYKER PAD

As much as I needed a bench upgrade, the thing that drew me to the Apex Ecosystem was the attachments. The Stryker Pad allows every chest supported row variant you can come up with, and more. From obvious choices like cable and dumbbell rows from every angle, to seal row variations, like my personal favorite, the Smith machine barbell seal row performed to the sternum (taking advantage of the extra padding on the top of the Stryker Pad, I set it vertical and was able to do this move with unimpeded range of motion), the Stryker Pad allows you to do them all. It is quite stable, like the Apex bench. You can even do overhead tricep exercises (like the incline skull crusher) with unimpeded range of motion, and, of course, single-arm preacher curls. Overall, a great addition to the home gym.

APEX STRYKER PAD

Store owner replied: We love hearing how you're using the Stryker Pad and all the different movements you've been able to incorporate with it.

Customer video review of APEX STRYKER PAD

The sticker pad is well made. It isn't heavy but has a surprising amount of mass to it. It is highly adjustable and despite having a some play, the pad locks in when in use. My only complaint is there was a little slag in one of the holes for angle adjustment. I was able to knock it out with a screwdriver and a pair of Kleins. However, when the flag came off so did a little powder coating.

Fantastic attachment! Allowing you to hit a range of exercises with adequate support and without restriction in range of motion.

Can't recommend it enough!

Customer photo review of APEX STRYKER PAD

4.5/5 overall. Product feels great, padding and kneeling on the pop pins feel high quality, adjustment heights and angles are nice. My only complaint is with stability on supported rows. Using heavy enough weight can cause some tipping with the bench. Overall it’s good enough I think I will be using it 2-3x per week for the foreseeable future. I can see this saving a ton of time on setup for exercises.

It's great to know it'll be a regular part of your training each week! Regarding the stability during supported rows, thank you for pointing that out. Since the attachment is currently being used with a bench that's outside of the APEX Ecosystem, that can affect the overall stability, especially with heavier loads. The Stryker Pad was specifically designed and optimized to work with the APEX Bench, where you'll get the best fit and stability.

The flexibility to rotate it and many angels is great. There is a slight wobble. I spoke to one of the owners and he is going to send me a slightly bigger pin to remove the wobble. Otherwise, its great for multiple exercises.

A very versatile addition to the bench Apex makes. Back rows, lateral raises, shoulder press, preacher curls, hip thrusts, and more. It doesnt even really take a creative mind to figure out the benefits of this striker pad and for the 150 it costs well worth the price. If not the first addition you get to complement the bench should be added on asap.

very versatile and easy to configure into different uses. just a little note that the pull pin has minor movement. wish it could be stabilized further. Otherwise, this is an excellent accessory.

APEX STRYKER PAD

Love all things Apex but had to give this a 4 out 5 stars ONLY because it would be so easy to make the pin lock out so the pad articulates. I’m 99% it does that on the full sized preacher curl pad.

You keep emailing me asking for a review but I can't even use this piece yet since you haven't shipped the bench or any other accessories I ordered. How about wait until I get the full order and can actually try it. Hopefully everything is good and I'm not past a return window before I can even use it.

FREQUENTLY ASKED,

ALL ANSWERED.

What is the APEX Ecosystem?

The APEX Ecosystem is a fully integrated training system built around the APEX Adjustable Bench. Every attachment is engineered to connect directly to the bench, transforming it into multiple machines in one. Instead of buying separate bulky equipment, you expand your setup piece by piece with attachments like the Nordic MAX, Stryker Pad, Landmine, Ab Trainer, Leg Extension, Belt Squat, Power Tower, and more.

Do I need the APEX Adjustable Bench for all the attachments?

Yes. APEX attachments are engineered to connect directly to the APEX Adjustable Bench. The bench is the foundation of the entire ecosystem, and all attachments rely on its integrated connection system for proper use.

Will there be future attachments?

Yes. We’re actively expanding the APEX Ecosystem. New attachments are already in development, and we’ll continue building the lineup based directly on customer and community feedback. Your input helps shape what we create next. If you have a cool idea, we'd love to hear from you!

Can I start with one attachment and upgrade the Ecosystem overtime?

Of course. The APEX Ecosystem is designed to grow with you. You can start with the attachments you need now and add more over time. Every new piece integrates seamlessly with the APEX Adjustable Bench, making it easy to expand your setup whenever you’re ready.

How does the APEX Ecosystem save space compare to separate machines?

The APEX Ecosystem replaces multiple standalone machines with integrated compact attachments. Instead of needing separate equipment for leg curls, extensions, Nordic work, core training, landmine exercises, belt squats, and more, each attachment connects to the APEX Adjustable Bench, helping reduce the footprint needed. You only store compact attachments rather than full machines, which dramatically reduces space while still giving you the functionality of a complete gym.

What makes the APEX Ecosystem different from other modular systems?

We spent a long time refining every detail to ensure each attachment is truly multifunctional without sacrificing performance. Instead of single-purpose add-ons, every APEX attachment is engineered to deliver multiple high-quality training functions while integrating perfectly with the bench. The result is a more versatile, more refined, and more complete system.

What is the APEX Stryker Pad?

The APEX Stryker Pad is a multi-purpose attachment for the APEX Adjustable Bench that creates dedicated stations for shoulder presses, chest-supported rows, seated rows,tricep extensions and single-arm preacher curls. It features adjustable pad angle and height, high-grip vinyl with commercial-grade padding, and quick setup so you can dial in proper positioning for each exercise.

Who should use the APEX Stryker Pad?

Lifters who want dedicated upper-body stations on a compact bench setup. It is an excellent fit for home gym owners and athletes of all levels who value chest-supported rows, shoulder presses, single-arm preacher curls, and tricep extensions with secure positioning and consistent form.

Is the APEX Stryker Pad suitable for home gyms?

Yes. It mounts to the APEX Adjustable Bench in seconds and uses a compact footprint. The adjustable pad and quick setup make it easy to switch between shoulder presses, chest-supported rows, seated rows, preacher curls, and tricep extensions without adding a separate machine.

Why is the APEX Stryker Pad considered a 4-in-1 attachment?

It combines four stations in one unit: Utility Bench for shoulder presses and tricep extensions, Seal Row for chest-supported rows, Preacher Curl Bench for single-arm curls, and Seated Row Bench for rowing work.

Is the APEX Ecosystem available internationally?

Yes, we do ship internationally; however, shipping prices can vary and may be cost-prohibitive. We are actively working to expand our distribution network. Please see our current distributors below, with more to come soon:
