This is a competition-style flat bench with a heavy-duty design capable of handling weights up to 1,000 pounds. If you’re simply looking to do some light dumbbell presses, step-ups, or other movements that simply need a bench then you can’t go wrong with this one. Weightlifting can contribute to overall weight loss, but if you really want to make a dent in your kilograms then we suggest opting for calisthenics.

A good bench will provide you with a sturdy pad that you actually use as leverage to push against while you exercise,” says weightlifting coach Kate Meier. A quick note on the design: benches with four legs are not best for people who plan to focus on pressing movements as you can’t get your feet in the perfect position to amplify your foot drive (which helps generate power).

Okay, it’s not going to feel solid like you’re training on a tank, but for the cost, it’s about as stable design-wise as you’ll find.Both calisthenics and weight training are valuable training methods, so you’re not doing fitness wrong if you favour one over the other.

Coop’s also, rightfully so, a big fan of this bench’s storing capabilities, which scored a 5 out of 5 on our rating scale. Gallarzo advises that as a beginner you should also be working on bodyweight movements like squats, lunges and planks, as well as trying some basic pull exercises like rows. It’s not hugely different from the previous version, except this bench includes a few important upgrades such as a ladder adjustment system for the back pad, much faster to adjust and sturdier than the previous system, and a higher weight capacity of 600lb. For most lifters, the adjustable bench does everything a flat bench does, as well as it does, but also has increased multipurpose functionality. This is pretty much Titan’s bread and butter: Selling imported equipment that gets you 90 percent of the way there, compared to equipment that costs twice as much.Use the heel of your right foot to push yourself off into the next lunge, this time leading with your left leg. The four bits of equipment that Gallarzo believes it’s worth investing in if you’re serious about calisthenics are: a home pull-up bar, some gymnastics rings, parralettes to practise dips on and perhaps some resistance bands, and these pieces of equipment will serve you well whether you’re a beginner or Hannibal for King. On its own, it’s capable of being used as a flat, incline, decline, and upright bench so no movement is off limits here. It’s also nice if the back positions have markings for the pad angle in degrees (laser-cut is superior to stickers), and if the angles are available at different positions like 30, 45, and 85 degrees.
