The criteria for choosing a weight bench
If the weight bench is at first glance a rather simple equipment, the fact remains that it is necessary to be interested in a certain number of elements before making your choice. In fact, the weight bench is made of several parts, each of which has a certain importance, such as the seat, the impasto or the safety hooks. So, the impasto is a point to watch carefully, especially if you plan to use the weight bench for exercises requiring relatively heavy weights, but also for intensive use such as in a gym.
Indeed, the impasto will largely define the stability of the weight bench and therefore will strongly influence the safety of the practice. The more important the desired use, the more essential it is to opt for a thick and above all robust impasto so that the bench lasts as long as possible. In addition, the seat is also a key point in choosing a weight bench. Indeed, this will be the most decisive element in the comfort of using the weight bench. Ideally it is preferable to opt for a model with an adjustable seat, it will thus be able to adapt to the various exercises that one wishes to perform with the bench, but also to the different users if it is an investment in a weight training center.
Finally, if you plan to use the weight bench with bars equipped with weights, it is desirable to opt for a model with hooks, also called bar rests or jacks. These elements will allow the bars to be deposited safely, whether for home use or use in a gym. Last point concerning mainly individuals, the complete weight bench is available in a foldable version, which may be relevant when you have a small space at home and you want to be able to easily store the weight bench after use.
