Thread: DB press/BB press

im an at home trainer and i dont actually have a bench press rest/stand (not quite sure what there called).
been doin DB presses for a good while and started doin BB presses recently...but the problem is i have to pick the barbell up(weighted) sit down with it on the bench and then start pressing. This is OBVIOUSLY affecting the amount i can press in a BIG WAY.

so i got 2 questions, whats your opinions on DB presses to BB presses.

and does anyone know where i can get the barbell bench rest alone. as i already have a FID bench.

any help would be appreciated.

do standing bb presses

and single arm db press

Bench press is great for one thing - improving your bench press. If you aren't worried about the numbers (ie you are not a powerlifter) then dumbells will be fine.

Get a power cage to kill two birds with one stone. Alternatively, you could buy some squat stands if you are on a budget. Check out Hart Sports for starters.

By the way I had never heard of a FID bench until SeeZ used that term. I guess all the cool kids are calling them FID benches now, ha ha!
