Best Flat Bench Reviews & Comparison 2018

A flat bench is a simple home gym equipment, but it is among the most important ones. With the help of it, you can do the most effective strength training exercises with dumbbells such as bench press or shoulder press. Also, you can use it for bodyweight workouts to do dips or leg raises. So, even if it is a simple tool, it is very versatile.

If you have not bought a flat workout bench before, or you want to replace your old one, you may find it difficult to pick the right bench for you since there are hundreds of products out there.

Here I would like to help you with your purchase by showing you the best models and giving advice on what to look for when shopping to get the most suitable equipment for you.

So, you can find a comparison chart, quick reviews and a buying guide.

The Titan Fitness Flat Weight Bench bench comes with almost the same features as the previous one such 1000 lbs capacity, comfortable padding and stable functioning. And the its price is also almost the same.

However, compared to the previous one it comes with transposition wheels and handle bar (that can be used for weight bench exercises for abs such as leg lift). Therefore, it is very easy to relocate. This function is particularly useful for women.

The only reason I put it the second on this list is because it is rather new product, and it has less reviews. Although, those customer reviews are very positive.

This equipment is among those few workout benches that are portable. You can quickly fold it by removing the detainer pins that let you fold legs into the travel position. In that state, it is only 8 inches tall and it has a handle to be easily carried. Of course, this folding function makes it easy to store at home, too. Hence, it is a perfect equipment for those traveling a lot and do not want to miss a workout. (or someone who likes working out outdoor)

You are maybe a bit skeptical now if this bench functions well enough. But, I have to say it is as good as any other flat benches out there.

It has 550 lbs total weight capacity. So, even if you are 200 pounds, you can have 350 lbs to train with safely. That is far enough for most of the people. But certainly not enough for a power lifter.

The next question is wobbling and size. Well, because of the folding legs, it wobbles a little bit, but it is not annoying, so you can use it safely. And, since it is a portable flat bench, it is not the best option for tall people.

When you buy a flat weight bench you should check out few factors, besides reading the customer reviews, to get the most suitable item for you.

It is important to know if you have enough space to use in the place you would like to use. Keep in mind that you will need a few feet around the bench to move around and to perform the exercises comfortably. Also, keep in mind the storage. Flat benches are not big, but still needs place. (if you are lack of space, it is maybe better to buy a folding bench).

Also, if you are taller and bigger person, check out the the length and width of the bench. If it is too short or narrow it is going to be very uncomfortable to exercise on it.

The next very important factor is how much load the bench can stand. In most of the cases the manufacturer tells just an amount like 300 lbs, but in that amount your weight is included. So, if you are a big heavy guy who wants to perform heavy weight bench exercises at home, forget the equipment under 500 lbs.

Obviously, benches with higher capacity costs more, but they are more durable as well. But in the future you will not have to worry about overgrowing your exercise equipment.

There is nothing worse when a workout bench wobbles too much. That is not just dangerous but also annoying and does not let your to focus on your flat bench exercises. So, check out the customer reviews.

I hope you found this guide useful and you found the best workout bench for home. I wish you great flat bench workout routine with your new equipment.
