What are your main goals? Lose weight, gain weight, improve aerobic capacity or increase strength?

You need to have a clear understanding of what you want to accomplish.

The next step is to create a specific weight lifting routine. If you know your goals, as well as your exact routine, you will be more qualified to buy the correct bench for weightlifting.

Flat bench vs adjustable bench

There are a couple of key differences between a fixed flat bench and an adjustable bench.

The first is the range of bench movements. An adjustable bench will be much more versatile and will allow you to perform a greater variety of lifting exercises.
