Best Weight Lifting Benches

The core of any home gym is a weight lifting bench and a pair of adjustable dumbells. With these two pieces of equipment you can get an effective workout without the hassles of driving to an overcrowded health club.

There are hundreds weight lifting benches on the market, and to be honest most of them a over priced garbage that aren't worth $25 bucks, let alone $250 bucks.

To help you cut through all the clutter, and most importantly, help you avoid wasting your money on a weight bench that won't suit your needs, I'm not reviewing every bench on the planet.

Instead, what I've done is pick the top 3 weight lifting benches on the market and give you the reasons why these weight benches should be on the top of your shopping list.

Each weight bench listed below is a winner in terms of build quality, adjustability, ergonomics, durability and price. If you don't see the weight bench you're shopping for on this page, don't buy it or you're wasting your money (don't say I didn't warn you)...

Best Weight Lifting Benches

Ironmaster Super Bench

Ironmaster Super Bench
Recommended - YES
Reason - Best weight bench for serious weight lifting on the market with a budget friendly price. Fully adjustable, can do dips and pull-ups on it, high 1000 pound rating is best in class.

You can search for years and never find a better weight lifting bench than the Super Bench.

The Super Bench is fully adjustable, ultra sturdy and has add on attachments like dip handles and a pull up bar that aren't even available on other weight benches.

The real clincher for the Super Bench is the low price, it's the best deal on the market bar none.

Body Solid Weight bench

Body Solid FID225
Recommended - YES
Reason - Folds for easy storage, sturdy, compact size, good padding, low price, built-in wheels for easy mobility.

The new Body Solid FID225 is my pick for a home weight bench.

Good for doing dumbbell exercises, the bench adjusts to 7 positions of incline with a ladder style back support and is sturdy enough for more casual users (*does not support as much weight as the Ironmaster Super Bench).

As a bonus (and never buy a bench just because of it) the bench folds down flat so it can be kept almost anywhere out of sight, and pulled out when needed by rolling it on the built-in wheels.

Bayou Dumbell Bench

Bayou Dumbell Bench
Recommended - YES
Reason - Compact size, low price, thick padding, heavy duty vinyl, optional dumbell stands.

If you need a small, inexpensive and versatile bench for dumbell workouts, the Bayou dumbell bench is a good choice.

Multi-adjustable from upright, flat and preacher make this bench a good value when paired with their 10-50 pound adjustable dumbells.
