Weight Benches
I have an adjustable weight bench at home, and the little things about a bench can make a difference. I don’t like a bench that feels narrow or moves around when I’m pressing. The space between the seat and backrest is something I notice too. I’ve included adjustable, Olympic and folding benches here, as well as some bench exercises and my favorite bench press workout.
