Benches

Why would you need Benches?

Benches come in different types and sizes, and can vary greatly when it comes to price. You have flat and fixed benches, adjustable benches for inclined and declined moves, Olympic benches with a weight rack, and many other varieties. So what do you look for when buying a bench?

First, you have to know what you are going to use the bench for. Buying a set with handful of features seems tempting but there is no need for investing in equipment you are not going to use.

Some benches have memory foam for better support and comfort, so if you have back issues, definitely consider this option. Otherwise, stay away from fancy features, which only add weak links and breaking points requiring further maintenance.

Multipurpose benches are an ideal choice if you want to perform a number of moves. You can work the abs, hamstrings, glutes, lower and upper chest. Do note, however, that many bench sets are built to support average height people, so multipurpose benches can sometimes market more than they can offer. Having a leg curl machine is not going to help much when your legs don’t fit properly.

The safest option is to go with a simple adjustable bench, which will help in training the upper body.
