Weight & Bench Press Benches

Serious weightlifting requires a serious weight bench

A quality weight bench will be the real workhorse of your gym. It can be used for dumbbell work or with your power rack. The benches that have optional attachments work almost like a multi-gym. So if your weight bench will see a lot of action, it is critical to get one that can stand up to the abuse of heavy, regular training.

Adjustable Benches Flat Benches Bench Press

The most basic bench is the flat bench. These were the most common type of benches in the early days of weight training. Ironically, as strength training has reverted back to an emphasis on basic movements like bench pressing, flat benches have seen a resurgence. Some benches were designed to also go incline, which is great for those who want some variety. This allowed you to do different exercises in a variety of angles, like the incline bench press. The design of these flat incline benches is relatively simple, so they can be heavy-duty.

The incline benches were further developed to incorporate decline angles. These benches are commonly referred to as FID benches (Flat, Incline, Decline). For serious home gym users or personal trainers that are tight on space, the FID bench is very popular. You get to perform a variety of exercises from one workout bench.
