Benches And How To Choose
The Right Bench For You

by Joshua Tapp


Finding good information on weight lifting benches is tough. Most of what you'll find is someone trying to sell you a bench and that's about it.

I'm going to show you what to look for when buying a weight bench and whether to buy small weight benches, adjustable weight benches, benches with attachments, and so on.

I'll also give you Weight Lifting Complete's recommended weight bench. You'll be able to read reviews from other people, but you'll get my trusted opinion and review on what to buy.

Weight Benches for Your Home Gym

You need to know what to look for in a good weight lifting bench. You'll need this bench to perform some of the best compound weight lifting exercises.

Here's a short list of some of the best weightlifting exercises to use with your new weight bench in your home gym.

  • Chest | All Bench Press Variations
  • Shoulders | Seated Overhead Press Variations
  • Back | Supported Rows
  • Triceps | Close Grip Bench Press
  • Triceps | Reverse Grip Bench Press
  • Triceps | Lying Tricep Extensions
  • Quads | Hip Belt Squats
  • Calves | Hip Belt Calf Raises
  • Biceps | Incline Dumbbell Curls
  • Forearms | All Wrist Curl Variations
  • Calves | Seated Calf Raises
  • Back | Lat Pulldowns
  • Back | Rack Chin Ups
  • Quads | Leg Extensions
  • Hamstrings | Leg Curls
  • Chest and Back | Pullovers

And this is only the short list of exercises available when you add a good weight bench to your home gym. Now, I'll show you what to look for and what not to look for...

Options To Look For In A Weight Lifting Bench

  • Bench must be quickly adjustable to multiple positions

    You want a bench that you can adjust quickly without having to screw a pin in and out. I hate the weight lifting benches that I have to kneel down, unscrew the pin, find the new hole, and then screw the pin back in. You don't need that hassle when trying to workout.

    You also want a bench that has a upright seated position, multiple incline angles, a flat position, and a decline position. Don't choose a bench that only has a few adjustable positions. More positions give you more variation in your exercises. You need variation with a home gym over the years!


  • Leg Extension/Leg Curl Attachment must be quickly removeable

    You don't want a bench where you can't remove the leg extension and leg curl attachment. This attachment will only get in the way of most exercises. You want to be able to quickly remove it and install it when needed.


  • Quality Small Weight Bench easy to move around

    You don't want to buy a bench that is meant to be bolted down in place. Make sure you don't buy a really expensive bench meant for commercial gyms and health clubs that has to be bolted down.

    You want to look at smaller weight benches that are easy to move around. Smaller weight benches will take up much less room in your home gym and will fit in tight spots if needed. You don't want to use all your energy moving the bench in and out of your power rack.

    Make sure the small weight bench you choose is good quality! Weight Benches don't last forever, so get a good quality bench that will outlast the cheap weight benches.


  • Buy a stand alone bench

    Don't buy a weight lifting bench that comes with a bench press stand. You will want a bench that is stand alone that can easily be moved around. You will use your power rack for bench pressing. You'll use your adjustable weight bench for many other exercises besides bench press.

Recommended Weight Bench

I recommend the Powertec P-UB Weight Lifting Bench. The features it provides for the price are simply unbeatable at this time.



I couldn't recommend a better weightlifting bench than the one in the image above. It has everything you need.

Totally Blown Away by the WLC System...


Hi Josh,

Greetings from Australia, mate. I received your WLC Program recently and have only just got to emailing you (reason being I took quite a while exploring the entire package!!!).

I have to admit that over the past years I've purchased many programs via the internet and I can say with complete honesty that I have *never, ever*, had the pleasure of receiving one such as yours!!!

I was totally blown away by everything, from the log books, the big beefy manual, right on through to all those fantastic calculators! It comes through that you really put your all into the package. I've seen all those programs which claim to 'lay it all out for you ... paint by numbers ... take you step-by-step', etc.but only one is deserving of these claims ... and it's yours.

I especially found the goal setting information to be very, very comprehensive and so well laid out. I've read goal setting books, articles, websites, etc. but never really applied any of it to my endeavours in the gym.

Your system will have me going after my dream body with a vengeance, as I will be commencing the program this coming Monday.

In previous years I was a chronic "routine/program hopper"; I'd spot yet another new system I thought I would follow and away I'd go ... for about 3 weeks if I was lucky!

Despite all that, during some years I'd build a little muscle, lose a little fat and start looking reasonable, then slack off. I have a well equipped home gym which includes everything you recommend.

I have always been good with my meal choices but the bottom line is I was never consistent with anything!!!!

I have a very strong feeling all that is about to end - pronto! I'm really looking forward to starting the program Monday 30th August, and totally looking forward to some *real results at last*.

Oh, by the way I am 56 years old and my long-term goal is to have an awesome physique at 60 in comparison to the average one I had at 30. Thank you once again for putting out such a terrific and very complete program - I will not have any hesitation in recommending it to everyone I know.

Cheers,
Gary McDonald
