Yes. Flat benches provide a more stable, consistent surface for barbell and dumbbell pressing under heavy loads. Adjustable benches add variety but can introduce minor movement or pad gaps that interfere with optimal setup for maximal pressing. How important is bench height for proper form and leg drive? Very. A true competition-standard height (~1717.5") lets most lifters plant their feet and engage leg drive efficiently. Taller benches can reduce lower-body engagement; shorter benches can make it harder to stay tight and balanced. Can the bench be used safely inside a power rack? Yes. The Vulcan 3x3 Flat Bench fits comfortably in most standard 3x3 and 2x3 racks. The bench height and frame width align well with spotter arms, allowing safe setup and effective pressing positions. Does a thicker pad make pressing more comfortable or stable? A firm, 3" pad is optimal for stability and spinal alignment. Overly soft or excessively thick pads can absorb force unevenly, alter bar path, and reduce power transfer. Our medium-firm pad with grippy texture prevents sliding without restricting shoulder movement. Is a flat bench like this enough for a complete home gym setup? For most lifters, yes. A solid flat bench supports barbell and dumbbell presses, step-ups, core work, and accessories. Paired with a rack and weights, it forms a strong foundation without unnecessary complexity or moving parts.

My Vulcan flat bench came with the box in very good condition with all pieces and even a tool to put it together. The steel seems to be very good quality with a nice powder coating. This thing feels heavy duty and will probably easily be able to stand up to whatever I throw at it. The padding is excellent! It is far superior to what I’ve had on flat benches at the commercial gym I used to go to! The pad feels grippy and comfortable when I lay on it. I can’t wait to order more equipment from Vulcan once they get more stock!

Great bench here! The pad is nice and wide for added stability. Easy to put together, only took a few minutes. Despite the lack of a wheel and handle the bench is easy to move around the home gym.

This is an unbelievable deal. It's the same size as most benches, but the all steel design and construction sets it above all the others that I looked at. Having to work out at home this was a great all around solution!

Great bench, very high quality, perfectly sturdy. Only issue were the rubber footpads, it was impossible to get them onto the legs as they were, so I spent an hour carving out the interior rubber with a razor blade and dremel to finally get them on. I'd suggest adding an extra cm in size to each size of the footpad, they're too small as they are.

Hi Adam. Thanks for your feedback. We put them on all the time with just our hands. They do stretch. They should be tight on the feet.

I've owned this Flat Bench for almost 1 yr now. This is commercial grade equipment. The pad is 12" wide and provides excellent support for me (6'1" 220lbs) and my wife (5'2" 130") . The bench is super stable and is plenty long enough. We use this in our home gym. If your looking for a flat bench, buy this one, and you'll never need to buy another bench. I highly recommend this Vulcan 3X3 bench.
