Flat bench 30cm+ wide

Howdy,

Just wondering if there are any new options on the market for a 30cm (or more) wide flat bench.

I'm looking at the Force USA currently (Force USA Commercial Flat Bench | Strength Equipment) as suggested in a previous thread.

Waiting to hear back re: shipping from GetStrength (HT Heavy Duty Stand-alone Bench - Getstrength.com Store)

Any other options to consider?

Thanks,

Chris

Edit: I've got an adjustable bench, so any such options are out. Looking for a bomb proof flat bench around IPF specs if possible.
 
How much would two benches cost?

30cm wide, 45cm tall, 1.2m? long with firm grippy pad

The force usa ones are ~530 for two to my door, but I don't remember liking the pad on the force benches we had at PTC Syd.
 
I think the pads cost me around $150ea, so it would still cost around the same as a force one.


Only advantage would I could make it 30cm wide, make the pad soft or hard and you would keep your money in Australia :)
 
The best way I could describe it would be like a firm latex matress, lol

The benches you made for PTC Syd I find very squishy (not sure if it's because they're new but I find the material very slippery to), I tend to use either the Pro Power (which is still softer than I'd like) or the old combo rack.. not sure what brand but it's nice and firm.
 
I don't like the pro-power benches I made for Trent, but that's how he wanted them.

I prefer the combo rack style pad.
Thin and firmer.
 
The combo at PTC Syd has actually been re-upholstered recently, it's got a lot of cushion but the new material is really grippy so it's still nice to bench on.

But yes, firm and grippy is good :D

PM where you want the $$ and how much
