Buy NowA rock-solid light commercial grade powerlifting flat bench at an affordable price, the Powerlifting Flat Bench boasts a beefy 1,000lb max capacity, grippy 4" thick pad, and 3-point foot design so you can tuck your feet and power your next PR. Beefier than the Flat Utility Bench but not as swole as the Hero Heavy-Duty Weight Bench, this is the Goldilocks of flat benches. Use the convenient handle and wheels to move your bench out of the way when not in use, or bolt it down for extra stability. The bench frame now includes precision-drilled 5/8" holes, and if used as a fixed bench station, these holes double as sneaky storage. Mount a couple of Utility Hooks along the spine, and voilà — your Loadable Dumbbells suddenly have a tidy little home… They grow up so fast! *sniffle*
A flat bench is a fixed, horizontal bench for pressing, rows, hip thrusts, and dumbbell work. Because nothing pivots, a good flat bench is rock-solid and low — often more stable and cheaper than an adjustable, which is why many lifters own both. Competition flat benches match the 17-in IPF pad height for powerlifting.
A wide, firm pad (11–12 in) that supports your shoulders without being so wide it limits arm drive, a stable wide or tripod base, a high weight capacity, and sturdy 11-gauge steel. Pad grippiness matters more than you’d think for heavy benching.
