About Us
Most flat benches fail one of two ways: the frame flexes under heavy pressing, or the pad gap leaves your spine unsupported at lockout. My Editor's Pick is the Impulse IT7009 Ultimate Flat Bench at $529 — commercial frame, gap-free pad. Runner-up is the York FTS Flat Bench at $299 for the mass-market buyer wanting a permanent pure flat.
