  • HGM Take: this is the bench counterpart to our Budget Squat Stand pick; we don’t recommend it because it’s necessarily the best within the entry level segment, but if you’re trying to keep cost as low as possible, this is the most viable choice for budget flat bench.  Most “well, at least it’s cheap” benches weigh 30% less, which matters a lot.  If your torso is particularly large, this bench might be a bit too small for you, but for the vast majority of lifters, this is the cheapest way to get the job done.
