Types of weight benches with weights and others

Shall we review all the weight training benches that exist? This section will also serve you as a purchasing guide. Some of the best known are the bench press, the folding weights bench or the quadriceps bench. Now you will know all the types and what (or where) each one is used for.

Professional weight bench

It is the specific one to be installed in gyms, sports centers, hotels and other places open to the public. Its structure is usually made of robust steel, designed to withstand the use of tens or hundreds of people daily. Its price is higher because it is fully designed to last longer. A professional weight bench can last for years and years without breaking. Many people also buy a professional weight bench to train at home. The truth is that those who really love this sport invest in quality equipment to push their workouts to the limit.

In turn, the professional can be a weight training bench of various types: fixed flat, adjustable weight bench, for abdominals, inclined bench, quadriceps bench... As we remarked, the difference is in its more robust structure. You can buy it from the ones we show you in this section.

Home weight bench or weight bench for home use

There ismany options and very economical on the market. Our recommendation before deciding on one is that you should check the total weight supported by the bench in the item description, especially when buying online. You will need to count your body weight and the maximum weight that you will use in dumbbells or bars. This is so that there are no surprises. It will not be pleasant to buy a product that is not sturdy enough and breaks after a few days of use. With professional weight benches this problem does not usually exist, since they are prepared to withstand a great amount of kilos. However, with the home weights bench you have to be more careful and look at these details. Obviously, they are usually lighter in structure than professional ones.

Likewise, a home bench can be fixed, such as a pectoral bench, or adjustable/adjustable for training with dumbbells. There are weight benches with weights for home as well. It all depends on what you are looking for. In addition, the domestic one is usually a cheap weightlifting bench.

Adjustable weight bench, also known as folding or adjustable bench

It can be both domestic (for home use) and professional (gyms and sports facilities) and is one of the most complete and 100% recommended. A adjustable weight bench is the one that allows you to adjust the inclination of the backrest, which is especially useful for varying the angle when doing the exercises. For example, in the exercise bench press with dumbbells, we can do this with the bench flat or inclined (at 30º, 45º, etc.). Some adjustable weights benches even come with the option of declining them a few centimeters, for example, to perform decline bench press with dumbbells and work the lower portion of the pectoralis. There are several advantages of buy an adjustable weights bench:

• They are the best option for train with dumbbells, we can perform a wide variety of exercises combining these two elements. We will do openings, biceps, lifts, chest press, crunches.... It is very complete.
• Buying a loose adjustable bench is also useful for barbell exercises. We can always attach the weights bench to arack or cage and work the bench press barbell flat press, the incline, the seated military press...

The ability to do so many exercises on the same bench is another benefit. All those who are looking for a bench for a complete routine and save space will opt for the adjustable weight bench. The truth is that with one plus some brackets, a bar with discs and a few dumbbells, you will be able to do almost everything.

Other names by which this bank is also known are reclining weight bench.

What about a folding weight bench?

This kind of bench is usually domestic and for abdominal training. The only difference is that it allows a folding, so that when you finish training you can store it comfortably and save space. For example, placing it in a piece of furniture, closet, under the bed...

Bank of bench press

Here we are talking about a bench that is usually fixed (not adjustable, normally), to perform the chest press exercise with barbell. There are versions of gym commercial and domestic. In both cases, this bench will bring built-in brackets to place the long bar. It is really effective for performing the best chest exercise. If you buy a domestic one, make sure how much weight it is capable of supporting.

In some cases, and especially if it is a bench press to train at home, perhaps allow the option to tilt it a few degrees to make it also upper chest bench press. The fixed bench is especially for those who want a specific exercise bench bench press. May include some quadriceps/legs disc attachment. Although in this case we would be talking more of amultifunction weight bench, which will be discussed below.
