Competition Flat Bench PRO 35 cm, Extra Wide

Competition flat bench PRO, the IPF-spec bench press bench

The competition flat bench PRO is a flat weight bench designed for heavy bench pressing and powerlifting competition prep. A flat bench is a fixed bench with no incline, where stability and dimensions matter more than adjustments. This one meets the IPF rulebook dimensions: 43 cm high, 122 cm long, with a 30 cm wide pad (or 35 cm in the extra wide training version). It uses the pad of the UF Power Bench on a fully redesigned frame: uprights bolted onto laser-cut steel plates, a wider yet compact front foot on a flat base plate, a wide rear foot with rubber end caps and wheels.

Key features of this flat bench

• IPF competition format. 43 cm high, 122 cm long, 30 cm wide pad. You train on competition dimensions.
• Laser-cut steel plates. Bolted assembly on thick plates, the frame does not move under load.
• Wider yet compact front foot. Wider than on the previous model for even more stability, but compact so it never gets in the way of your setup or leg drive.
• Firm 10 cm pad. Dense foam and a textured non-slip cover, your back stays put during the setup.
• Knurled handle and wheels. A firm grip, even with chalky hands, to lift the front of the flat bench and roll it.
• Upright storage. The bench stands upright on the square support under the pad and frees up your home gym floor between sessions.
• Rubber end caps. The rear foot does not slip or scratch the floor.
• Textured black finish. Plates, hardware and frame in the same finish.

Competition flat bench dimensions: what the IPF rulebook says

The IPF (International Powerlifting Federation) technical rulebook requires a bench press bench at least 1.22 m long, 29 to 32 cm wide and 42 to 45 cm high, measured from the floor to the top of the pad. The 30 cm competition flat bench PRO meets all three. The 35 cm version keeps the same height and length with a pad wider than the standard: it is made for training broader lifters, not for replicating the meet.

What sets it apart from an entry-level flat bench

Competition flat bench PRO specifications

Flat bench or incline bench, which one to choose?

A flat bench is the right choice if heavy bench pressing is your priority: no adjustment mechanism, so no play, a fixed competition height and a one-piece pad with no gap under the shoulder blades. An incline bench is more versatile for incline pressing, shoulders and dumbbell work, at the cost of stability and a height that are not those of a competition bench. Many powerlifters keep both: the flat bench for the competition lift, the adjustable bench for accessory work. To compare the whole range, see our weight benches.
