Weight Benches Explained!

Weight benches are fantastic pieces of equipment because they allow you to perform many different exercises that you would find much harder on other exercise equipment. There are 2 types of weights benches available on the market today:

Barbell Weights Bench – A barbell weight bench has a barbell stand attached, this stand allows you to rest the weight when you are finished. Some barbell benches allow you to incline or decline and you can also add attachments such as leg extensions, preacher curls & even lat pull downs onto them.

Utility Bench – A utility bench is simply a flat, inclined or declined bench that has no barbell attachment, however some utility benches allow you to add attachments.

The main advantage of this type of bench is you can perform exercises that you couldn’t perform on a barbell bench because the barbell attachment doesn't get in the way.
