Level up your Gym with Bench Press Racks & Stands

Release your inner Competitor's Outlet each and every training session with the right equipment. Whether at the gym or at home, the bench press racks or squat stands are an essential start to a strength-building routine.

Combine your favorite Olympic-sized barbell and transform your home workout to elite status. Tiered J-Hooks allow lifters to customize the height and are perfect for overhead pressing, bench pressing, back squats, front squats, rack pulls, and deadlifts.

Bench presses are an ideal workout for developing the shoulders, arms, and chest. Competitors Outlet has a wide variety of Traditional, Incline, and Decline Bench Press Racks and Squat Stands.

Each bench press variation works for slightly different muscle groups with variations that include:

Traditional bench press. This exercise is done lying down on a flat bench and pressing a barbell up and down at chest height. It works the pectoral muscles, shoulders, and arms.

Incline bench press. For this variation, the bench should be angled upward between 45 and 60 degrees, so you are leaning back slightly. It targets muscles of the upper chest and shoulders.

Decline bench press. For this variation, the bench should be angled downward, so when you lie down your feet are in a higher position than your head. It works the lower chest muscles and shoulders.

Narrow grip bench press. During this variation, your hands are narrower together on the barbell. It works the triceps and forearms.

Use a spotter if you're new to bench pressing or bar weight squatting. They may keep an eye on your form and make sure you're lifting the right amount of weight for your level of fitness level.

Olympic Bench Presses FAQ

How to safely use a bench press rack?

To safely use a bench press rack, always ensure the safety arms or spotter arms are properly adjusted before starting your set. Begin with light weights to test your form and always ensure your feet are planted firmly on the ground. If you’re lifting heavy, consider using spotter arms or having a lifting partner assist you in case of failure. Also, make sure to keep the barbell centered on the rack to prevent any accidents.

How much space do you need for a bench press rack?

For lifting weights, as a general rule, you’ll need a space of approximately 8ft wide x 7ft long (244cm x 215cm) for the classic, compact weightlifting setup consisting of a power rack or squat stand, weight plates, a barbell, and a bench. This ensures you have enough space for safe, unrestricted movements during your workout, and allows for sufficient clearance when moving the barbell into position.

Can I use a bench press rack for other exercises?

Absolutely! While bench press racks are primarily designed for barbell bench presses, they’re also versatile enough for a variety of other exercises. You can perform squats, overhead presses, and even rack pulls by adjusting the position of the safety arms. Some of our multi-functional racks even include pull-up bars, making them great for a complete full-body workout in one piece of equipment.

What’s the difference between a standard bench press rack and an Olympic press rack?

The main difference between a standard bench press rack and an Olympic press rack is the size and design. Olympic press racks are designed to handle the larger, heavier Olympic weight plates, while standard bench press racks can accommodate lighter plates. Olympic racks tend to have more robust features, like higher weight capacities, spotter arms, and a more stable frame, making them ideal for heavy lifting and commercial use. If you plan to use Olympic-sized plates, an Olympic rack will provide the best support for your workouts.
