Design features
One of the key design features that sets the Adidas Essential Utility bench apart from similar designs is the addition of the foot support pegs.
Whenever you are performing any pressing exercise it’s important to ensure you lower body doesn’t move, with a tight core to focus all of your energy on the exercise.
These foot supports positioned under the seat can either be used as a platform to rest your feet on, or to tuck your feet behind.
By resting your feet on the supports you can build more power through your quads that will also benefit the pushing movement of the weight in both the shoulder press and the bench press.
If you choose to slide your feet behind the supports, this creates more tension through your lower body, helping improve your stability.
There’s even space for you to slide your feet under the foot supports when lying on the ground to keep your legs from lifting up when performing abdominal crunches.
Another important feature to consider when deciding which bench to buy is the range of back support positions. The Adidas Essential Utility bench provides you with decline, flat, a variety of incline levels, and a vertical position for shoulder presses.[divider]
