When you’re building a home gym, a bench is a staple—like, foundation-level stuff. In this video I break down the two benches that are honestly my daily drivers right now: the Freak Athlete ABX adjustable bench and the DelTech Fitness flat bench. I’ve tested a bunch of benches over the years (from cheap $100 options up to the XMark range), and I’m telling you straight up: the ABX is the nicest adjustable bench that has ever stepped foot in my garage. It’s premium money ($599 for the bench), but the fit, finish, and adjustability are on another level—especially the caged ladder design, the labeled angles for attachments, and the zero-gap pad (no “sitting on a toilet” feeling when you press). I also explain why I still keep a dedicated flat bench even with a beast like the ABX in the gym. The DelTech is a killer budget secondary bench at $169: thick pad, easy to move, stores upright, and it’s rated to handle stupid weight (they even show 5,000 lb at 80 degrees). Then we get into the ABX attachment ecosystem—dip station, sit-up attachment, bicep curl setup, and the leg developer. The leg developer is the standout for me, especially when you run it off a cable stack for constant tension leg extensions and lying leg curls. Bottom line: if you’ve got the space, having two benches set up as stations can make your training way smoother.
