candukid Well you were right! Upon using it for real, where I mounted the LL machine, when I try to bend stronger, it lifts the bench. I'll have to try a different mounting location where it won't be able to lift the bench. That means I'll probably have to have two different mounting locations for different bends. Which is less than optimal but will work for my occasional use. I don't have room to dedicate to a post mount, or at least I'd rather not do it. I think I can make it work on the bench.
