Ironside Armour Benches: The Foundation of Every Workout

The world of fitness is truly vast, and finding the right equipment isn't easy. Benches are undoubtedly among the tools that will sooner or later become indispensable, as they're essential for continuing to develop your muscle hypertrophy. Using these pieces of equipment allows you to strengthen a wide range of muscles, including the biceps, chest, and abs, and with the right models, even the legs and back.

The three great families of benches

Flat benches

• Fixed frame, horizontal backrest.

• Indispensable in powerlifting and bodybuilding.

• They support up to 450 kg of load + 180 kg of athlete weight.

Adjustable benches

• Reclining backrest (and often seat).

• Up to 50 angle combinations in models; stability guaranteed by an extra-large rear foot.

• Many variants present on the market as they are the best-selling.

• They support up to 450 kg of load + 180 kg of athlete weight.

Special benches

  • All other benches specific to certain exercises and disciplines: some examples are Scott bench, Hyperextension bench, Hip-Trust bench, etc...

What does a bench press train?

It basically depends on the type of bench you are going to buy:

Flat bench: The pectoralis major and triceps are the protagonists, with the anterior deltoids taking a back seat.

Incline Bench: By tilting the backrest and seat, you can target different areas of the chest, work on the lats, shoulders and core, or use the declination to train the abs and lower chest.

Special bench: Integrated structure specifically for training a particular type of muscle.

Why and when to use it

The bench press is a raised support system designed for strength and hypertrophy exercises, especially for the upper body. Many athletes schedule it once or twice a week, adjusting frequency and intensity based on their goals and preparation.

To complete your workout, you'll need additional equipment: an Olympic barbell, bumper or split plates, fixed or adjustable dumbbells, and possibly a multi-power bench. These tools expand the variety of movements (incline flyes, shoulder presses, floor presses, hip thrusts, etc.) and allow you to fully utilize the bench you choose.

How to choose your bench

  • Define the primary use : Powerlifting? Bodybuilding? General training?
  • Consider the space : Fixed, adjustable, or foldable? Do you need wheels to move it?
  • Check the load capacity : Heavy loads require heavy-duty frame and high-density foam.
  • Think about the accessories : Sit-up option, foot rolls, integrated storage, rack attachments or combo racks.
