equipment, because they are so savage, this is the piece of
equipment to go for.
The
Rogue West Side Monster bench comes in black. It weighs 342LB with a footprint of 53''x34''. It is 54.75'' high and provides everything you need to train heavy bench pressing including extra large band holders at the bottom. The
plate at the back also enables a spotter to get into the right position to spot a very heavy bench press. If you want to break world records or do a 300 pound with bands for reps competition, this is the bench you need.

Pros of the TITAN flat weight bench
-
Low price
-
Easy to transport
-
Versatile
This is a bench that can be used for many purposes without hassle. With the low price, it also will not be a problem to use the hell out of it. Especially if you are planning on stepping on this bench quite a lot, it is a great piece to get. As with all TITAN products the price undercuts the market by about half for a comparable product.
Cons of the TITAN flat weight bench
-
Fairly light
-
Finish
-
Not adjustable
This bench is fairly and easy to move around. This is great if you are not a beast bench presser, but pretty counterproductive if you have a massive bench. In that case, you right want to opt for the
Hefty bench instead which is just slightly more expensive.
As with all TITAN products the quality of the finish and material is slightly worse compared to similar products from Rogue or Eleiko. A company has to cut some corners to save against their competition and this is usually done in how fast and well things are put together or how much money is being spent on the material in the first place.
For home gym owners it might be a better choice to get an adjustable bench to have more variety. Most commercial gms will buy one or two adjustable benches and then fill the remaining slots with a
flat bench like this one to save cost.
Alternatives to the TITAN flat weight bench
The
hefty bench is a great option for anyone who weighs more than 120kg. It is also a good option if you already have a massive bench press, but still want to be able to move your bench around easily.
The single post competition is very similar to the
flat bench with one major change. At the foot end of the bench you only have a single post. This makes it easier to get into an arching position for the bench press, as the feet of the bench do not get in the way.
Conclusion to the TITAN flat weight bench
The
TITAN flat weight bench is a classic design at a reasonable price from a budget vendor. It does not do a lot, but it does what it says on the tin. If you do not have any specific requirements for your bench press setup and just want an all-purpose bench for your gym which does the job, this is the one to get.
