Designing the perfect adjustable bench. Does the perfect bench exist? I don’t think so and here is how I would design it if I could!
This video goes through what I think the perfect bench would look like because currently I don’t think it exists. I do think there are many good benches out there though but none are perfect!
Here are some of the features I’d like to see and all are in the video.
Height: 17″
Width: 12″
Pad length: 38″
Angles: 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 85 at a minimum
Seat angles: 30, 20, 10, 0, -7, -15 at a minimum
Attachment ports on the front, back, and sides
Attachment ports to fit multiple size attachments both vertical and horizontal
Bench under $500 in 2026 dollars
Slim profile back legs
Stability bar for back pad that folds away
Small gap (no need for zero gap)
Ladders preferred but either would be ok
