Design features
If you are considering buying a new weights bench for your home gym, it’s important to consider 2 main things before making your final decision.
The first is the overall strength of the bench with regards to how much weight it supports, and the second is the type of bench (flat, adjustable, foldable, or even combined with a squat rack).
The We R Sports Flat bench is designed to provide a compact, yet stable base from which to perform a wide range of upper body exercises, including barbell presses.
The stability is improved thanks to the 3 points of contact with the floor where you need it most, below the area where you will be pressing the weight.[/one_half]

Rubber end caps to the feet also help to reduce any movement in the bench when performing exercises such as dumbbell rows and sit ups.
Although the design isn’t foldable, the compact nature of the bench and narrow barbell supports ensure you still make the most of the space you have.
One final feature worth mentioning is what sets this bench apart from similar designs at this price range. Weight plate storage pegs have been built into the base to keep weight plates organised and within easy reach during your workouts.

Exercise options
While there isn’t a leg developer or walk in squat rack like some of the Bodymax weights benches, the We R Sports flat bench still provides an excellent base for a variety of upper body exercises.
Even with the barbell supports, there’s still room to perform exercises such as pec flys to help you create a more balanced chest and upper body.
The following list is an example of some of the exercises that can be performed when combined with a standard barbell and dumbbell set:

Product comparison
Currently one of the lowest priced weights benches available, the We R Sports flat bench is in one of the most competitive categories and price ranges for home fitness equipment.
With so much competition from benches such as the Bodymax CF302 and York Fitness Bench, it really just comes down to what you are looking for from your workouts.
If you are starting a new fitness program and want to mix some barbell exercises in with your dumbbell workouts, this W R Sports bench may be the better choice.
The Bodymax bench would probably be better for working exclusively with dumbbells, due to its dumbbell storage shelf built into the base frame, with the York Fitness bench allows for a range of different incline positions.
