[Professionally Selected] 13 Recommended Training Benches for Serious Muscle Training

"I want a bench to start working out at home!" "I want to know what kind of training benches are recommended!"

If you are considering purchasing a training bench, many people probably wish to "make an effort and buy a recommended bench."

In such cases, since there are many types of "training benches," many people may be undecided on "how to choose a recommended bench."

To get straight to the point, recommended benches are broadly divided into two types: "flat benches" and "incline benches," depending on "how you want to train your body" and the content of your training..

And if you don't choose one that suits your body type as the user, your body might break, or you might be interrupted, or you might focus too much on training.

"The bench shakes and I can't concentrate..."
"I'm starting to enjoy having to reposition my body every time..."
"My shoulders are hard to move freely because of the pad..."

If you start to feel stressed in this way, there is a risk that you may become inclined towards brave training. To consider motivation, it is important to choose the optimal bench for you..

So, when considering how to choose a recommended bench, it is important to stop at the following seven points.

[Points for choosing a recommended training bench]

Bench type | Choose based on "how you want to train your body" Load capacity | Choose "body weight + weight of the weights" or more Pad width | Choose to match your shoulders Pad length | Choose a size where your head doesn't hang off Seat height | Choose a size less than or equal to your lower leg length Pad material | Choose one that is not slippery Choose one with convenient functions for moving and storing

Therefore, "even if only points are shown, the image is still a bit short" for some people.

[What you'll learn by reading this article]

Recommended products are introduced, categorized into "flat benches" and "incline benches." How to choose a recommended training bench is explained using diagrams and photos. You'll find out the approximate height and pad size for a bench that suits you!

If you read to the end, you will be able to choose the perfect training bench for you, so please refer to it.

2. 7 Key Points for Choosing the Best Training Bench

The type of training bench that is best for you depends on "how you want to train your body." This is because there is an optimal bench for each type of training, considering factors such as required stability and size that fits your body.

Here are 7 points to help you choose the perfect training bench for you:

2-1. Bench Type | Choose based on "how you want to train your body" 2-2. Weight Capacity | Choose "body weight + weight lifted or more" 2-3. Pad Width | Choose according to shoulder width 2-4. Pad Length | Choose a size where your head doesn't hang off 2-5. Seat Height | Choose a size that is below your knees 2-6. Pad Material | Choose a non-slip material 2-7. Choose one with convenient features for moving and storage

2-1. Bench Type | Choose based on "how you want to train your body"

Next, choose the type of training bench based on "how you want to train your body" and your purpose for using the bench.

Training benches primarily come in two types: "flat benches" with a fixed horizontal pad, and "incline benches" with adjustable angles. The range of training you can do differs between these two types.

Purpose of using the bench	Recommended bench type
・I'm a beginner, so basic training is sufficient! ・I want to easily start home training to improve my fitness level.	Flat Bench
・I want to train specific muscle groups more precisely. ・I want to seriously train my whole body.	Incline Bench

For now, there is no problem with training basic areas such as the back, legs, arms, chest, and abs.

For example, compare the photos below.
In both, dumbbell presses are performed with the body on a bench, but there is a difference in the position of the dumbbells relative to the chest.

[Example of Dumbbell Press on a Flat Bench]

On a flat bench, the dumbbells are parallel to the chest, and the line between the chest and arms is vertical. When the arms are lowered straight down, the load from raising the arms is applied flat to the middle of the pectoralis major.

[Example of Dumbbell Press on an Incline Bench]

On an incline bench, the backrest is angled, putting the head in a raised position. Compared to a flat bench, the line from the chest to the arms is more open, and the arms are raised higher towards the head. When the arms are raised and lowered, the dumbbell load is more likely to target the upper pectoralis major.

Additionally, some incline benches also have a "decline" function, allowing the angle to be adjusted downwards to lower the head. Depending on the manufacturer, benches with both incline and decline functions are called "adjustable benches."

[When the angle is adjusted to decline (downwards)]

When adjusted to decline, as shown in the photo, the arms are straight up, and the line between the chest and arms is tighter than 90 degrees.

Incline benches can also be used in a horizontal position, meaning you can train the middle and upper pectoralis major, and if it has a decline function, the lower part as well.

If you want to train your whole body more seriously by precisely adjusting the muscle area to apply load, an incline bench is a good choice.

While flat benches take up less space than incline benches, they are also more affordable.

Both flat and incline benches can be used for the following common exercises, so if you want to "start training easily at home," a flat bench might be more convenient.

Examples of commonly performed exercises
Training the back muscles "One-arm Row"	Arm (triceps, etc.) training "Reverse Push-up"
Leg (quadriceps, etc.) training "Bulgarian Squat"	Abdominal (abs) training "Leg Raise"

For more details on strength training you can do with a bench, please refer to the article below. If you want to know what kind of strength training you can do, please take a look.

"[Latest 2024] 12 Strength Training Benches | A Thorough Guide to Professional Picks"

If you are interested in incline benches or want to know how to choose an incline bench, please refer to the article below for more details.

"8 Recommended Incline Benches Chosen by Professionals | Buy the Optimal Bench"

2-2. Load Capacity | Choose "Weight + More Than the Weight of the Weight"

Each training bench has a "load capacity" that indicates how much weight it can withstand. Choose one that is greater than the total of "the user's weight" and "the weight used during training."

[When a person weighing 80kg does weight training with a total of 50kg] → Choose a product with a load capacity of 130kg or more.

If you put more weight on the bench than its load capacity, the bench may wobble or tip over during training.

As the load capacity increases, the bench itself becomes heavier, making it more stable.

Especially when heavy weights are used for powerlifting, there is a risk that the bench may not be able to withstand the weight and break. This can lead to serious accidents, so it is important to choose a bench that is stable and can firmly support the weight.

2-3. Pad Width | Choose According to Your Shoulders

The width of the pad should be chosen based on the distance between the inner part of your shoulders and the protruding parts of your collarbones.

If the pad is too wide, your shoulder's range of motion will be restricted during training, as shown in the picture below. On the other hand, if the width is too narrow, it will not be able to support your body sufficiently, which could lead to injury during training.

[When the pad width is too wide]

If you lose your balance and fall off the bench, especially while holding weights, it can cause injury.

As a rough guide, the standard size of the Japan Powerlifting Association is about 25-32cm*. Therefore, it is recommended that people with average shoulder width choose around 30cm, and those with a larger build and wider shoulders choose 30cm or more.

*Source: Japan Powerlifting Association "Rulebook"

2-4. Pad Length | Choose a Size That Doesn't Let Your Head Hang Off

For the pad length, use the total pad length for a flat bench and the back pad length for an incline bench, according to the guidelines below.

The key is that when you lean on the bench, your head should not hang off.

For Flat Benches	For Incline Benches
Pad Length	Back Pad Length
From the base of your legs to the top of your head	From the seat to the top of your head when seated

If the pad is too short and your head hangs off, you won't be properly supported, which can make you unstable during training.

It also puts a strain on your neck, and being supported at multiple points—the back of your head, back, and lower back—is more comfortable and prevents fatigue from shifting.

The body sizes mentioned above don't have to be perfectly exact.

When actually using the bench, your posture might shift slightly from when you measured, so it's safer to aim for a length that is 2-5cm longer than your measurement.

2-5. Seat Height | Choose a Size Below Your Knee Length

Choose a seat height that is lower than the length of your lower leg.

If the bench is higher than the length of your lower leg, when you lie or sit on it, your feet won't be firmly on the floor, as shown in the picture below, making it difficult to push off with your knees.

[If the bench is too high]

On the other hand, if your feet are firmly on the ground, you can support your entire body with your feet during training.

[When the bench height is just right]

As a general guideline, the Japan Powerlifting Association's standard size is 42-45cm*. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a bench with a height of 45cm or less.

*Source: Japan Powerlifting Association "Rulebook"

2-6. Pad Material | Choose Non-Slip

We recommend choosing a pad material that isnon-slip. If it's too slippery, your body will easily shift and become unstable, making it difficult to focus on your training.

When using heavy equipment, there is a risk of serious accidents such as falling.
Choose a product where the grip of the pad surface, as shown in the video below, is highlighted as a key feature.

BlackWing™︎Adjustable Bench (REP Fitness)

Pads should be "firm" to withstand thickness and provide more stability.

Regarding the characteristics of the pad itself, some of you may be wondering how to choose the "thickness" and "firmness." In conclusion, a pad that can withstand thickness and is firmer will likely be more stable.If it's too soft, your body may sink in when you lean on the bench, making it difficult to maintain balance. Regarding thickness, generally, it's about 10cm (approximately 4 inches). Incline benches often have thinner pads because the seat and back pads can come into contact when adjusting at steep angles. Due to the nature of the bench, there might be inherent limitations, so you can generally choose based on your preference.

2-7. Choose one with features convenient for moving and storing.

After choosing a bench type suitable for your training needs and the appropriate size for stability, we recommend choosing one with features convenient for moving and storing.

Although it varies depending on the product, solidly built items are heavy and substantial, and it's important for your home.

Here are three features you'll definitely want to choose:

Has casters

Benches with casters are very convenient because they move smoothly for relocation and tidying up. The bench below is placed in the foreground and features a plausible design, making it useful for moving around indoors. FB-5000 CompetitionFlat Bench (REP Fitness)

Foldable (Folding Bench)

Can be stored upright

If the bench is designed to be stored upright, it can be put away in a space-saving manner when not in use. BLACKWING™ AdjustableBench (REP Fitness) The product above has a protected stand part, which firmly supports the bench when upright and is designed to protect the floor.
