I always opt for resins that have potential to be re-manufactured into alternative products when the time comes to replace. As time goes by, most of us are becoming aware of the advantages reusing products has for the world.

This is one of the first home benches I ever used, and it still holds up great today," says Samuel. "It has an old-school design and shape that works well for bench presses, and is a great bench for ez bar chest-supported row or curl concepts because of the simple incline adjustment that never gets in the way of your natural movement pattern on either exercise."

Storage: Like all home gym equipment, weight benches can take up a lot of room. If you’re tight on space or just appreciate being able to move your equipment out of the way, consider a collapsible weight bench or, at the very least, one with wheels. One downside: It'll slide a bit on cement, so make sure you place it on a yoga mat if that's how you plan to use it. Technical advances in resin manufactures are rapidly evolving, producing the vision of more realistic wooden effects however Duotech takes the manufacture a step closer, courtesy of their resin talc formula whereby it molds to mimic wood to the touch too, the first development producing the feel of wood.A SOLID addition to any home gym, weight benches opens the door to a ton of exercise possibilities. That's why it's considered one of the most functional items you can have. A weight bench allows for a wide range of exercises, allowing you to target nearly every muscle in your body using the bench as your starting point. Of course, you can use a gym bench for way more than just the classics that bear its name, like the bench press. And you should. If you’ve been subject to the continual ongoing maintenance issues of wooden benches like we have, Hudson’s make-up provides the escape route. Low weight capacity: Generally, it’s a good idea to shift away from any bench that doesn’t have a 500-pound weight capacity. Even if you don’t plan on lifting heavy, it’s important to opt for a bench that can safely support you, the weight you’ll be lifting, and any added impact that might occur during use. It's hard to know what equipment you really need in your home gym vs. what equipment will just end up collecting dust and occupying precious space—we get it. But you'd be wrong to consider a weight bench an unnecessary addition. The versatility an adjustable or flat bench can add makes it one of the most worthwhile investments for any at-home set up. Notice how while the benches are perpendicular to each other, their legs are parallel. This was done to enhance the visual aesthetics. But from the construction point of view, this is not a very practical idea. When the legs are attached along the shorter side of the bench the entire assembly becomes much more rigid. Realizing that, the builders had to add a second pair of legs to the other bench design where the legs are aligned with the longer dimension.
