Utility Benches

An adjustable utility bench or workout bench provides you with the tool to train the chest, triceps and abs at home. By adjusting the bench, you can perform various exercises such as bench presses, or you can train at the right height with weights.

What are the advantages of an adjustable utility bench?

Variation is key. It's ancient wisdom, and it is especially true for workouts. With a multifunctional, adjustable utility bench, you can take different positions by adjusting the backrest and/or the seat to the desired level. This allows you to train in different positions and to give certain muscle groups extra attention while practising with weights. You can also do other exercises such as push-ups and dips. Furthermore, an adjustable fitness bench often has a weight support, so you have easy access to the weights at all times. Utility benches can handle a lot of weight. Thus, whether you're a beginner or advanced, you can go all out on an adjustable workout bench. Pay attention to the maximum weight load of the weight bench and of the surface on which you train.

Which muscles do you train with an adjustable utility bench?

Bench presses work predominantly on the pectoral muscles, but the shoulders and triceps are also covered. By adjusting the backrest, you can train different parts of your chest. If the utility bench has a leg extension, you can train the upper legs, hamstrings and glutes. If you only train with weights or kettlebells, you are mainly concerned with the muscles in the arms and shoulders.
