Bodybuilding

1. What defines a weight bench for bodybuilding?

These benches are particularly robust, often with higher load capacities (e.g. up to 700 kg), and are designed for intense training with heavy weights.

2. Why is a dedicated bench for bodybuilding important?

It offers maximum stability and safety during high-volume training – essential for heavy bench presses or supersets.

3. What exercises are common in bodybuilding training on the bench?

Classics like flat, incline, or decline bench presses, dumbbell flyes, French presses, skull crushers, or Arnold presses are standard.

4. Is adjustability important here as well?

Yes, to achieve targeted muscle growth, angle adjustments are essential – for example, to isolate specific areas of the chest or to focus on the shoulders.

5. What additional equipment complements a weight bench in a bodybuilding setup?

For a complete bodybuilding setup, it’s recommended to combine the bench with a power rack for safe training, spotter arms for solo workouts, a comprehensive dumbbell and barbell set, and optional accessories like a preacher curl bench or leg developer – depending on training goals and focus.
