Next to actual weights, the next most important piece of equipment vital to successful weight-lifting is a bench. This Olympic Bench from Inflight Fitness is the ideal tool to help weight lifters reach their goals. More than just a bench though, this unit features a rugged and sturdy frame that comes standard with four weight horns and two tab heights. As an Olympic Bench, it's sized wider and longer than standard benches, making it even more versatile to users. The main benefit of using an Olympic Bench is to enable flat bench press exercises, which strengthen and build up the triceps and pectorals while also secondarily aiding other muscle groups such as the deltoids and back. However, the bench provides an assist to many other exercises. It's a terrific addition to basic sit-ups and push-ups, adding a layer of difficulty to standard exercises while increasing the challenge and effectiveness. It can be used as a step for step-ups, as a mat for abdominal exercises or an aide in basic cardio exercises such as burpees. Additionally, the bench is a terrific asset to dumbbell and kettle ball exercises. Please note this is the Olympic Bench only. Weight bars, weight plates, dumbbells and all other accessories are available separately. Dual tabs enable the bench for short and tall users while the open frame design is effective for safe spotting. While assembly is required, no power tools are needed to put this unit together. Frame is constructed of attractive 2"" x 4"" flat oval tubing. The Bench features five legs, ensuring the balance, stability and the sturdiness of the unit. This is a flat bench only and is not designed for incline or decline-bench exercises.
