Olympic Weight Benches

An Olympic bench, compared to the flat, adjustable bench, or FID bench, is designed to cope with heavier weights. This type of bench is therefore wider and longer with a more solid, stable base. It is usually more expensive than other benches, but it does so much more, making it a sound investment.

Using different weights, you can perform a wide range of exercises including chest press, shoulder press, and bicep curls. Many models also offer adjustable backs so you can set the bench at various angles to work multiple muscle groups. The fact that the Olympic weights bench gives you so many exercises means that this is a great starting point for beginners but also for advanced and professional bodybuilders. This bench will grow with you as you get fitter and stronger.

Buy an Olympic bench

When buying an Olympic bench, do measure up carefully as these benches are bigger than other weight benches. Most are over 6 feet long so make sure it will fit and that your rubber gym flooring will take the weight of both the bench and then you and the weights. If you need help designing your gym and finding the right equipment for you, be sure to ask about our expert gym design service.

You might also want to look at features like wheels so you can easily move the Olympic bench. We have a wider range of Olympic benches for sale, some of which also offer features that allow you to carry out other workouts like pull down bars, adjustable seats, and spotter placements. Check the quality of the frame and the upholstery itself as well as weight storage which can be a useful feature in a home gym.
