The Watson Utility Shoulder Press Bench is a compact bench designed primarily for overhead presses with dumbbells or a large barbell. The focus is primarily on the deltoids of the shoulders, while the triceps and upper chest are also involved when performed correctly. The bench can be used alone or in combination with a power rack, multipress or other rack, depending on the equipment of a particular station.

The main advantage is the low backrest. It provides support when sitting, but at the same time does not interfere with the path of movement when doing overhead presses. This leaves enough space for a secure grip on the dumbbell or dumbbells and for the natural guidance of the arms. The low backrest is also practical for press variants where a higher backrest could restrict the position of the shoulders.
Designed for heavy-duty use in the gym, the bench feels stable even when working with free weights. The solid base helps you stay focused on the movement instead of constantly adjusting your position. The stability is useful for bench presses, but also for other exercises where it is important to have solid support for the body.
The Utility Shoulder Press Bench has a wider range of uses than just shoulder training. Depending on the setting and equipment used, it can also be used for seated bicep curls or various single-arm upper body exercises. The advantage is that it saves space and is easy to incorporate into multiple training sets. In the Benches zone of the Sport Mall, it is suitable for visitors who prefer training with free weights and want firm, low back support when doing presses.
When using it, you should choose a weight that can be controlled throughout the entire range, set a stable foot position, and do not bounce the barbell or dumbbells with a swing. The bench does not determine the resistance itself, so the resulting nature of the exercise depends on the rack, axis, or dumbbells used.
