flat bench

The flat bench is an essential training device for all strength athletes and fitness enthusiasts. Heavy-duty, super handling and extremely stable are the main features of our weight benches. A load capacity of up to 750 kg is therefore not uncommon. Due to these specifications, this weight bench is particularly used for the basic exercise of bench presses. Stability and a high load capacity are required in order to ensure safe and intensive training. Due to the handling properties and the balanced weight, the flat benches are versatile. Rowing, shoulder and bicep exercises as well as other strength exercises are therefore also often carried out on these benches. As the name flat bench implies, the trainee only has the option of lying flat on the bench or sitting upright on the weight bench. Our flat benches are made of robust steel and high-quality materials to ensure durability and safety during training. The solid steel frame forms the base of the bench and ensures stability - no unwanted wobbling or other movements of the weight bench! The weight benches have continuous back cushions for an extremely comfortable lying experience. In addition, the continuous support surface enables improved body tension for more strength and safety.

Advantages of a flat bench

1. Versatility: The flat bench with its flat design allows exercisers to perform a variety of exercises that strengthen different muscle groups. From classic bench presses for the chest muscles to seated bicep curls and tricep dips, the flat bench enables varied training routines for both beginners and experienced athletes.
2. In addition to its flat design, the flat bench has the advantage of being comparatively narrow. This allows the user to perform exercises such as bench presses or flyes with a larger range of motion . The larger radius leads to a longer muscle contraction, which results in a greater muscle stimulus and muscle growth.
3. Space-saving solution: The compact design of the flat bench makes it the ideal choice for training at home in a home gym. Our ATX® flat bench is particularly compact and space-saving when folded up . The weight bench can be easily folded up and stored away. The simple handling of the folding mechanism makes it super easy to handle.
4. IPF flat benches : Some of our heavy-duty flat benches are IPF (International Powerlifting Federation) standardized and thus approved for use in competitions. The ATX® Heavy Weight flat bench in particular impresses with its stability and load-bearing capacity. Thanks to the torsion-free construction made of 80 x 80 x 3 mm thick profile steel tube and the additional, reinforcing gusset plates, the flat bench can support up to 800 kg! The high weight of 40 kg makes this flat bench extremely stable. In addition, the big boots/rubber feet protect the surface and ensure maximum slip resistance!
5. Combined seat and back cushion: With a flat bench you have a continuous seat and backrest. The advantage here is that the construction is built without adjustment mechanisms and can therefore be significantly more resilient. In addition, a continuous cushion surface offers a more comfortable lying surface for the exerciser than a separate seat and back cushion.

Why buy a flat bench?

Do you regularly do strength exercises lying down or in an upright position and do not need an adjustable backrest? Then a flat bench is perfect for you. Our ATX flat benches are stable, safe and comfortable as well as easy to handle. A swivel handle and transport rollers make positioning some models very easy. The flat bench is a central device for strength training. However, training only works in combination with barbells, dumbbells or other weights. Take a look at our barbells and dumbbells .
