FAQs

Common Questions About the Flat Bench Press Racks

What is the difference between the Standard, Safety Catch, and Safety Catch + Storage bench press stations?

The Safety Catch model adds adjustable catches for safer solo lifting, while the Safety Catch + Storage model includes those catches plus four Olympic plate storage pegs to keep your weights organized. The Standard model offers the same sturdy frame and spotting platform without these upgrades. See the comparison table for full details.

What kinds of exercises can I do with a flat bench press?

A flat Olympic bench press station isn’t just for bench press — you can also perform close-grip presses, skull crushers, seated overhead presses, and even some rows or step-ups when using a barbell or your bodyweight. Great for building chest, shoulders, triceps, and overall pressing strength.

How much weight can these benches handle?

All three models safely support up to 500 lb plus your bodyweight, making them strong enough for serious home lifters and light commercial use.

Are these benches good for a home gym?

Yes. With their compact tripod design, rubber foot caps, and optional storage, these benches are ideal for home gyms and garage setups where stability, safety, and space-efficiency matter.

Bench was easy to build & is very solid.
The stickers/labels were all coming off & some were put on badly and were hanging off the side.

Very good value

Like the bench , very good heavy duty quality for the price . It’s not professional gym quality but those are over $1000. Only minor complaint is the bench itself is slightly narrow , I like a wider bench. Otherwise super solid.

The bench was easy to assemble, and easy to use. Some minor flaws in some welding points, and the spotter stand wobbles, even though the bolts are tight. When it arrived, the boxes were broken in several places, and the contents were scratched and loose inside the box. Valor offered me a 5% discount if I wanted to keep the bench. They responded promptly to my e-mails.

This is a top quality bench--very strong and sturdy. Definitely gym quality! I am 5'10 and noticed that the lower bar catch was too low and the upper bar catch was a bit high and also too close to the top post for comfort. I have worked out at a lot of gyms and rarely, if ever, felt like the bar was too high, but this one did feel a bit high. To address all issues I spent about 20 minutes and drilled a new set of holes for the bar catches about 1 inch lower than the pre-drilled holes. I feel like the bar catches are now at a perfect height and I feel a lot better about the extra clearance on the back post when you are going to re-rack your bar. despite the modification I had to make, I would buy this product again in a second. It is the best bench out there at this price point and the modification didn't cost me a dollar.

This bench press is awesome, the only thing that stinks is it's easy to throw the bar completely over the rack when you're trying track because the stops don't go high enough. Had to get my welder fifty bucks to extend the height of the stops.

A great product I love it easy assembly and great packaging.....the shipping time was swift and trouble free I am a very satisfied customer and kudos to valor for a quality product

Another great product from Valor.Customer service response is awesome, highly recommend!

Really looks great and works great!!!

This is a great product. It is very studry and we'll built. I did have some issues with putting it together, but nothing that would take off a star. I have found no issues with height of uprights or strength of safety bars. Great bench for an awesome deal.

This is a good weight bench for a home gym, but there are some flaws. The very tip of the bench feels like it could break if you sat on it with too much weight. The hooks for the bar to go on are set at too much of an angle, and they are very small, so it's hard to get the bar back on when you are struggling. Also, they are coated in some sort of black paint that rubs off when the bar touches it. The spotting platform on the back of the bench is awkward. It's too small to really stand on, but then it gets in the way if you actually want to stand behind and spot someone safely. When you do try and stand on the spotting platform, you're too high up to have any leverage and it's not safe to spot someone.
