Probably a silly question, but this is advertised as a dumbell bench, is it appopriate to use for bench presses

I use it for both, really nice bench for the $ I'm 285 lbs and it doesn't even creak when I use it

There is no rack for free weights. I use it for dumbbell bench press all the time, but if you want to use bar weights, you will either need to find a standalone rack or find a bench with one attached.

This bench is versatile and study enough to be used with a barbell, but it does not have barbell supports. It has multiple positions capability starting from decline all the up to a vertical position for shoulder (deltoid) work. Hope this helps.

I am using it with a dual bench press stands, and it works OK. But I am only benching <175lbs. Not sure about heavier weights. HTH

It's pretty low - a comfortable bench. However, I believe it could handle a lot of weight, so if your set is big, go for it!

It needs to be attached to a bench press. It's not useable as a stand alone

everything on it was sturdy butt it did not have a curling attachment. This is not the right bench for dumbbell exercises. I also bought a dumbbell exercise bench and it fell apart. This is a good product.

That depends what you define as "tall" and what you intend to use it for. I am pretty short (5'5") and I would say the bench is pretty small and not really well built. I got this as a beginner bench. If I were to do it again I would invest in something sturdier. I suggest you go to a sporting good store or fitness center and look at benches, bring a tape measure and write down what you want. Then go on amazon and buy something with your specs in mind. This is a good bench for someone who is not heavy and not tall.

maybe but if you are a serious lifter then go with something bigger. this bench is more for like preteens or really thin people.

Yes, there's a theaded hole for the clamp to be applied there. Looks like you'd just have to remove the weight from that side of the bench press bar, to avoid the weights knocking together

The small vertical bars are for stacking weights, either for storage or for adding stability for when you want to use the pull-up bar. I find no use at all for this rack for dead lifts, nor would I expect it. As for use in bench presses, with the j-hooks used inside the cage, a bench can be placed inside.Hope this helps.

You can do either or. Resistance bands are just the cheaper rout. Dumbells last for a life time and are a good investment for long term exercise

Not sure, but it seems sturdy enough. The bar comes in three sections, and you have to drive these four steel pins into the bar with a hammer to secure it. It'd probably be fine with 100lbs or so, but I might get a little nervous after that. But again, I have not used this for bench presses at all.

It doesn't seem to be a problem. It's a few inches of gap. It does not affect the bench. I will say this. It is not commercial grade gym quality bench. It can get a little wobbly when using heavy weight. I bench 225. It's great for dumbbells and the preacher curl is a huge plus but again a little wobbly with heavy weight. I find this bench to be one if best out there.

It is not a bench. It is just the extension part and the posting of the item gives you the impression that you are getting the whole bench. I am mad at Amazon because of the way the item gives a perception you are getting a complete piece of equipment. I wasted my money!!!!

I am 140 lbs and it is enough for me. For comparison when I am in the gym I do flat bench dumbell presses with 55lbs for 4 sets of 8 to 10. I use about 130lbs of the stack to accomplish the same thing. Hope that helps and provides some reference point.

If you are short, yes. It is very short and wobbles because of the weak connections to the base. This bench is not good for what it was made for. If there is anything a workout bench should be it's sturdy.

I really like this bench. I am 6'1" and I fit on the bench, it could be just a little bit longer but I feel solid when doing dumbell presses even with heavy weight
