Benches

Buying guide

Benches buying guide

Choose a commercial-grade weight bench around the positions you actually train. The range includes flat, adjustable and FID benches: flat benches stay flat, adjustable benches move between flat and incline, and FID benches move through decline, flat and incline positions.

Choose the position range you need

Start with the exercises you return to most often. A flat bench is a straightforward option for flat pressing and supported work. An adjustable bench gives you flat and incline positions. An FID bench—flat, incline, decline—adds decline positions as well.

  • Choose a flat bench when a fixed flat position is all you need.
  • Choose an adjustable bench when flat and incline positions suit your training.
  • Choose an FID bench when you also want decline positions.

All Solid Strength benches are commercial grade. Before ordering, compare the exact dimensions, stated capacity, adjustment positions and rack clearance for the bench you are considering.

Built to move between stations

Every Solid Strength bench has wheels and handles, making it easier to move between a rack, dumbbell area or storage position. Leave enough clearance around the bench for the lifter, barbell, plates and access to the adjustment mechanism.
