Bench design

Adidas Essential Workout Weight Bench and Squat Rack

When looking for a new workout bench for use at home, it’s important to find a design that offers a wide range of exercise possibilities so that you aren’t limited to a particular program.

To offer a wider range of exercises, the Adidas Essential workout bench features a preacher curl pad and leg developer attachment.

Where many bench designs will provide just the preacher pad, this particular bench also includes a set of handles specifically designed to perform the preacher curl exercise.

In terms of the back support positions that are available, the simple to adjust locking pin system along the main support frame lets you choose from 5 preset positions, ranging from decline to incline.

This not only provides a wider range of possible ‘press’ type exercises such as the incline and decline press, but also exercises such as incline curls, dumbbell rows, incline flys, and incline lateral raises.

Squat rack design

Although the design of a squat rack may seem relatively universal, there are a few specific features that can be important to look for.

To be compatible with a wider range of barbell sets, the Adidas Essential Workout squat rack has been designed with a width that supports both the 6ft and the full Olympic 7ft barbells.

The rack also includes two main features to allow for quicker and safer changing of weights on the barbell; the weight plate storage pegs, and the retaining hooks attached to the bar supports.

The weight plate storage pegs make it easier to store and separate the different weight plates, making it quicker to change the weight on the barbell when training using more advanced techniques such as supersets or drop sets.

For added safety, a retaining hook is attached to each of the bar supports which can simply be rotated to prevent the bar from tipping off the rack when changing heavy weight plates.
