A bit podgy

I've been offered a beauty of an Olympic bench for really cheap, a commercial grade one from a friend. However, my current set up is a York fitness bench (the grey one that adjusts height etc) inside of a power rack...

Does anyone know if an Olympic bench will fit inside a rack, so I can use the safety pins? I know it prob ain't ideal but it's been a while since I've treated myself, if it's a no go then I'll have to pass :-(

I really cannot see how an Olympic Bench would fit inside a power rack.

I take by Olympic bench you mean a bench press style like a Forza Super Bench style ? Or a Kustom Kit Insignia Bench Press Bench style. These are industry best Forza from the USA and Kustom Kit from these shores in the UK.

These styles are with or without safety arms, and not designed for a power rack. ?

The only benches that should go in a power rack are a flat bench or a adjustable bench or a weightlifting stool, end of in my opinion.

A commercial bench press bench is a stand alone system for bench work.

Squatting isn't doing my back any good.

I think it would - just. I have an Olympic style bench and it just fits in my power rack. Try to get dimensions to check though.

Well if it's a standard rack and a standard bench then the dimensions should be in print somewhere, or ask your friend and get the old tape measure out,or get it any way Happy
