Pros
- Easy set-up
- Durable, stable design forged from heavy-duty steel
- Beefy weight capacity
- Certified to commercial ASTM and EN standards
- Features 10-degree decline
Cons
- Priciest option on this list
This model from Hammer Strength was originally introduced in 2016 exclusively for athletics and clubs, and was designed to be a versatile bench with an Olympic rack system. It’s American-made and sold around the world due to its high-quality, durable construction.
With seven different back pad positions (from −10 degrees for decline lifts and up to 75 degrees for military presses), it packs even more multi-functionality than most benches out there. Plus, it has built-in wheels, making it great for home gym spaces that require moving a bench around during workouts to accommodate space.
From a testing standpoint, this is one of the sturdiest benches available. Its tough surface provides a great base for bench presses, and the comfort of the seat portion allows for locking in a solid position during overhead presses and incline curls.
It’s more expensive than other options in this guide, but if you’re looking for a bench that can keep up with your biggest reps and hardest lifts, this pick has got your back.
