Weight Benches
With a weight bench, you get the most out of your training, in the gym and in your home gym. You lie stable, so you press heavier with better technique. By adjusting the backrest, you train every muscle from a different angle. As a beginner, you build a strong foundation, and as an advanced lifter, you keep lifting heavier. This is how you build strength, session after session.

What should you look for when buying?
Not every weight bench is the same. Pay attention to a few important points to find the workout bench that suits you.
- Adjustability: the more positions for the backrest and seat, the more exercises you can do.
- Maximum load: add your body weight to the weight you lift. Choose a bench with plenty of margin, so it grows with your strength development.
- Dimensions: check the length, width and height to make sure the weight bench fits well in your space. Also keep in mind that you need enough space next to the bench to perform your desired exercises.
- Foldable: save space in a small home gym. Wheels and a compact size make moving and storing easier.
- Stability: a wide base and non-slip underside keep your bench in place, even during heavy sets.
