I often hear from readers about issues in regards to their shipments and it can play a big part in the equipment if parts are missing or there are broken pieces. For many of its current practitioners, the man they saw was probably Hannibal Lanham, also known as Hannibal for King, whose version of calisthenics, which he practised in parks around Queens, New York, brought the discipline to the attention of millions. That’s higher than most of us will likely ever need for our weight training, but it’s nice to have goals. On its own, it’s capable of being used as a flat, incline, decline, and upright bench so no movement is off limits here.

The Ironmaster Super Bench PRO is undoubtedly a well-constructed, sturdy, and extremely versatile bench that is a great option for most home gym users. The Bells of Steel Flat Utility Bench is a budget-friendly flat bench that’s perfect for people who don’t plan on lifting heavy weights. The beautiful thing about calisthenics is you don’t need a lot of equipment to get started, and you certainly don’t need to pay a monthly subscription to get involved. That’s not to say that you can’t or won’t build muscle with calisthenics, you absolutely can and will, but working out with weights will make it easier for you to isolate and target specific muscle groups. Garage Gym Reviews founder and home gym equipment expert Cooper Mitchell knew almost immediately that the REP AB-4100 would be his go-to pick for the best adjustable weight bench for most home gym owners.But we don’t think those will be much of a problem for most who just want a good weight bench in their home gym. Reviewers also state the vinyl padding is grippy, and they had no problems when lifting heavy weights on it. Whether your max bench press is 135 pounds or 500 pounds, there are few weight benches that I’d say have a better value,” says GGR founder and home gym equipment expert Cooper Mitchell.

While using it, I’ve never worried about it not holding up to the weight,” Coop says in our Shogun NORD-EX review. The Gymenist weight bench has been around for a few years, and it’s always been a popular bench, a highly versatile bench boasting 6 back bad positions and a 3-way seat just like the JX bench and includes the right type of padding for the back pad and seat. The guy you saw on YouTube who’s turned himself into a human flag by holding his body parallel to the ground, he’s doing calisthenics too, and that guy you’ve seen doing dips in the park, yep, that's calisthenics. Once you’ve mastered an incline press-up, you’re ready to move on to doing regular press-ups, where you’ll be controlling more of your bodyweight.Although we’d love to recommend to all of our readers that you should have as many benches as possible, the fact of the matter is that there’s little need or even want for most people to have more than a solid flat bench and a versatile adjustable bench. So, for people, who have body composition goals, but tend to get hung up on the scales, a press-up or pull-up rep goal is a good marker of progress,’ she adds. After eight weeks all of the participants underwent a body composition analysis, a postural assessment, a handgrip test and a press-up and pull-up test.

You’ll just have to deadlift the entire bench if you ever need to move it to a different spot in your home gym. The JX 600LB Capacity Weight Bench is JX Fitness’s new version of their very popular dumbbell bench. This means you can get a full-body workout in a short amount of time, making it an efficient and effective form of exercise.After compiling our list, we set out to use as many of these weight benches as possible using them for everything from bench presses (of course) to skull crushers, step-ups, and incline benching (for the adjustable ones). There’s also a pad gap of about 2 inches, which you’re always going to have on an adjustable bench unless you have the REP Fitness AB-5000 Zero Gap Adjustable Bench. Both calisthenics and weight training are valuable training methods, so you’re not doing fitness wrong if you favour one over the other. Lunge forward as far as you can with your right leg, bending your trailing knee so it almost brushes the floor. The frame and vinyl padding are not the best, but it’s good enough that you’ll feel comfortable during heavy lifts.
