The Flat Bench is suitable for gyms, cross-fitness boxes and sports clubs. It can be loaded up to 500 kilograms and is therefore, the perfect piece of equipment even for the "heavy boys" among the athletes. The bench is suitable for bench pressing as part of a competition-oriented power triathlon training. Use the flat bench with Squat Stands HS.RL-ESS/01 to train the chest, shoulder and arm muscles.

When buying a flat bench, maximum resilience is crucial, especially for advanced strength athletes who want to move heavy weights. Don't forget, Your own body weight must be included in the calculation. Inferior benches can often only handle 100 to 120 kg of total load, which is unsuitable for muscular athletes with high maximum force values. The weight of the bench itself also plays a role. With a dead weight of over 30kg, the HOLD STRONG Flat Bench is solid and tilt-free, providing sufficient stability for self-weight exercises such as bank dips. Dimensions are important, especially if the bench is to be used for bench pressing. According to IPF standards, the bench should have a length of about 1.20m and a height between 40 and 45 cm. These dimensions ensure that athletes of all heights with different styles, flat back or "bridge," find their optimal position.
