Choose this one if
- Your training is dumbbell-led rather than barbell-led
- You want to add dip, chin-up and ab attachments to the same frame
- You want a bench narrow enough that your shoulders never touch the edges
The detail
This bench is designed around dumbbells rather than a barbell, and the dimensions show it. The pad tapers from 10.4 inches at the rear to 8 at the front, which is narrower than any other bench here — the Fringe Falcon is 11.25 inches and the Force USA Peak 11.6.
Narrow is the correct choice for dumbbell pressing specifically. With a barbell, your shoulder blades are pinned and the pad supports them; with dumbbells you need the arms to travel below torso level at the bottom of the rep, and a wide pad blocks exactly that range. Eight inches at the shoulder end frees it.
The attachment ecosystem is the second reason to consider it. Dip, chin-up and ab attachments bolt to the same frame, along with wall-mount versions — so the bench becomes the anchor for bodyweight work rather than just a place to lie down. In a room with no rack, that is a meaningful amount of training from one piece of furniture.
At 17.5 inches of clearance the height is standard-plus, half an inch above the competition 17. That suits taller lifters and, paired with the 15.4-inch leg height, keeps enough room underneath for the attachments.
PowerBlock does not publish a weight capacity, pad thickness, bench weight or number of incline positions in the specification table for this bench. Their own product listing elsewhere on the site references a 1,000 lb capacity, but confirm all four figures with PowerBlock before buying — on an adjustable bench, the number of positions is most of what you are paying for.
Pair it with the Pro 100 EXP and you have a complete dumbbell gym in about six square feet.
