ATX® Curved Incline Bench

The ATX® Curved Incline Bench opens up new training possibilities in the field of upper body-oriented strength training. Thanks to its ergonomically curved backrest, the range of motion is significantly increased compared to a classic straight incline bench. Particularly during dumbbell incline bench presses and fly variations, the design allows for greater horizontal abduction in the shoulder joint, resulting in a more intense stretch of the upper pectoral muscles.

What is a Bench?

What a weight bench is

A weight bench is the platform for pressing, supported rows, and seated accessory work — the second-most-used piece in most gyms after the rack. Broadly there are two kinds: flat benches (fixed and ultra-stable) and adjustable/FID benches (the back and seat pivot through flat, incline, and decline angles for versatility).

Which to choose

Buy a flat bench if you mostly bench and want maximum stability for the least money; buy an adjustable if you want one bench to cover incline presses, shoulder work, and more. Either way, prioritize a high weight rating, thick steel, and a firm, grippy pad.
